how to deal with rubberbanding selfesteem?
half the people i interact with are way lazier and dumber than me - if I have to work with them my confidence goes sky high.
the other half are much, much smarter than me, and talking to them makes me feel like an idiot braggart.
I literally dont know anyone who is at my level, so to speak, and as a result i dont know how smart I am. Am I an idiot with delusions of grandeur or a smart dude with shitty selfesteem? Do i need to push myself harder?
for me personally, I just keep my head down and work hard and try to have fun while I am at it
I could say I am smarter than others, but everyone thinks that. And since Im not some great innovator and my life isnt astounding, I remind myself to just be humble
to answer your question

Base your psyche upon controlled anger, you more people make you feel inferior the more controlled anger you experience. This automatically increases the amount of resistance to the negative nature of it, making you stronger mentally.

You never said you wanted to remain or become a people person. The hate simply makes you want to improve yourself and work harder. Anger is one of the strongest emotions.
