whole point of being condescending is to convince your self that it's
okay to keep people away from you, cause they don't meet your criteria. You
are looking for people who are like you, but are not as "good" as you
are -- you will be looking for a long time if you don't let this down.
And the moment you find a person that you enjoy spending your time
with, I bet you'll get competitive, and essentially ruin that
relationship. What you need to do is think about why you have
your criteria when it comes to people. I just had this conversation
with a friend last night -- he had a bias that a certain genre of music
was worse than the other. The fact is , we learn to become critical of
things at a young age, and we hold onto these criterias as if they are
FACTS. But they aren't. TV isn't dumb, but you said it's a dumb thing.
TV it self can't be dumb, so you've associated being dumb, or dumb
people with TV. So now everything related to TV is dumb. This is not a
logical criteria to hold onto people, and if you are truly "above"
peoples, you should be able to realize this, and also make reasonings
why people would LIKE television -- the reasonings are there, but you
are denying them based on your bias. You have to look at who you
are, and judge your self. Find why you believe in your prejudices, and
fish them out with logic. This is hard to do, ever so fucking hard, but
doing so won't only allow you to socialize better, but you will become
that great person you imagine your self to be. And I'm sure you
are aware that you aren't a god, or a super human, but having these
ideas in your head makes you a condescending person. We are all
egocentric, but many of us are raised to be more modest, while others
are taught that everyone else is stupid. Be just, that's all that society asks of you.
