Why a Narcissist assumes you’re Stupid

Al Ritter

Because the narcissist’s grandiose sense of self- importance the narc will always think you are the less educated of the two. Of course when you compare any two people there will usually one that is more intelligent than the other. One point you need to consider with a narcissist is that is that ever since their younger years they have always thought of themselves as superior.

As a result of this they never have the inclination to expand their horizons and to continue their education of life so to speak. Development of the normal person is different however. The well- adjusted person always seeks to better themselves and learn throughout their life span. The narcissist sees no need to improve because they see themselves as way above average even if they aren’t.

As I addressed in an earlier article, the narcissist only gets worse through time. As you can imagine if that narcissist actually attended a school of higher education they would have learned a little bit in the first few years but near the end they probably thought that they were smarter than the teacher and held the idea that they could probably teach the teacher.

One thing that most narcissists lack is a sense of logical thinking which can put them at a severe disadvantage when dealing with a well-adjusted person or as we say, someone with street smarts. Creative thinking is not one of their strong suits. They see the world as theirs and you are just visiting, anything outside the realm of what they see as righteous and normal has no place in their life.

As a result of this thinking pattern everyone else is stupid in comparison in their eyes.

Professionals such as doctors, lawyers, politicians can easily fall into the darkness of narcissism, I’m sure you already know a few.
