Praised constantly growing up, def made me think I was better than everyone else when I was younger (or at the least just infinitely smarter), prob was a bit of a douche because of it, if I had to guess, but I was never really full of myself. Probably took me until high school to realize there were plenty of other people as smart/smarter than me, and college to realize that work ethic, responsibility, etc >>> intelligence. Don't think I'm particularly intelligent anymore and do not like receiving praise these days, just makes me uncomfortable.
Yep, this sounds like me.
pretty much verbatim for me too
Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
