The fact that the smugness, i.e., the confidence smart people display is annoying IS fundamentally thr problem. Smart people are allowed to be confident, to be smug, to be arrogant like everybody else, and that doesn't just go away because it makes stupid smug people feel bad about themselves or inferior.
And ALL intelligent people are falsely framed in this light, because the truth is that other people feeling inferior or jealous of them is all this is fundamentally about, and that is wrong.
Stop telling intelligent people they can't have positive self-esteem. I will NOT walk on eggshells around you anymore. I will not change who and what I am to spare your feelings. No intelligent person should have to.
All this over a meme...
You might be booksmart, not that you're demonstrating it here, but you certainly have the emotional intelligence of a toddler. If you need to walk on eggshells around people, it would be because you're a vapid bellend and they're sick of your attitude.
The way you judge "everybody else" as stupid, as if intelligence is a good way to determine the value of a person, is frankly disgusting. It shows your contempt for other people.
If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoes. Now go do some deep thinking about that.
