So, everyone suffers because you surround yourself with people that you think are beneath you?
I don't think anyone is beneath me but the amount of times I've gone through the aforementioned scenario.
"Hey do you understand how to do x?
"Yeah sure!"
Proceeds to not even slightly understand how to do x
"Hey this is how you do x"
"STOP EXPLAINING I ALREADY KNOW"
In reality it's more of a 50/50 whether I actually explain it after they've fucked it up because I just can't be bothered but a lot of the time if someone fucks it up it falls on me.
I should also say this is mainly a work thing. I don't generally do it to random people.
The thing is that there are almost an infinite number of things you can learn and you only have enough time to learn a few of them. So if I talk to someone else, there is a very small chance that person spent their limited time learning the exact same things I did. Of course, this depends on context. At work I assume that the people who also work in the quite specific niche I’m in have a large overlap in knowledge, but a random person I meet anywhere else probably won’t even be aware that this thing I know a lot about is even a thing. Not because they are stupid but because they spent their time learning other stuff I know fuck all about.
