》A superiority complex is a behavior that suggests a person believes they're somehow superior to others. People with this complex often have exaggerated opinions of themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements surpass those of others.
》The symptoms of superiority complex may include:
high valuations of self-worth
boastful claims that aren't backed up by reality
attention to appearance, or vanity
overly high opinion of one's self
a self-image of supremacy or authority
unwillingness to listen to others
overcompensation for specific elements of life
mood swings, often made worse by contradiction from another person
underlying low self-esteem or feelings of inferiority
》Many of these "symptoms" can also be caused by several other conditions. These include narcissistic personality disorder and bipolar disorder.
