Are you a Snob?

No I'm not a snob, quite the contrary! However I am a shy person but I try my best to hide it. But at times it's very hard for me and people take me as a stuck up type of person which isn't true at all. I love to meet people and make new friends but it is very hard for me because I can't hear very well. Some people don't know how to talk to me once they know so I don't tell them til a while after we've met and talked. (I read lips along with wearing hearing aids) I've met up with some high school classmates and some thought I was stuck up and told me so but now know that I'm not and I told them nooooo I wasn't stuck up but very very shy. They wish now they had talked to me back then knowing what they know now. Oh well, wasn't meant to be is all.

No, in fact I hate people that are like that. I know a lot of people like that, a lot of people I graduated high school with.

My mother always said there are always people worse than you and there are always people better than you. For this reason I never put myself on a higher level than others. Some people that seem to be inferior in some ways, may excell in others. I cannot stand people who use their record of academic achievments to put themselves on a higher level than others, claiming that they are more intelligent than others. I think every education system in the world is flawed because, it allows people like my brother who seems to be extremely clever, to slip through the net because of his dyslexia and therefor inability to express his thoughts on paper. To me it's just not that black and white, as with wealth - you can be as rich as you like but what's it worth if you have nothing that you really crave like friends or family.

No, I am not a snob. I didn't degenerate people because of superficial things (i.e., wealth, education, ancestry, intellect, etc). However, I'll begin changing my mind when someone like harrassing others. People should behave according to common norms. To harrass or bully others is not considered as common norms. If they don't behave like common norms, it will definitely make others to do a counter reaction. This is the same thing... if you are nice to others (i.e., smiling), you will find others to be nice, too (smiling back). I also don't make friendship because of those superficial things. But it is a natural feeling that we may make friendship to someone who has a common personality. Have you ever seen a bird to make friendhip with a lion, for instance? I haven't seen it so far. It is just a matter of comfortable feeling. But I have seen some people who are REALLY snob. They will undermine someone because of superficial things at the first meeting. Then, they will try to draw him/her far from their elite group -- this is called snob people.

Hi there, well i am not really snob but whenever i meet new people, they are always telling me the same thing about their first impression on me. That they thought before that i was snob, and not approachable, but then when they met me and knew more things about me, then they will realize that they are wrong with their 1st impression and they were sorry. hehe Maybe i do look snob, but i am not snob and i am very approachable. Im just a shy type, but if you'll approach me, then ill surely give back the approach that you have given me. Have a nice day ahead from Kiko, and happy posting and earning here in Mylot and Godspeed.

i am not a snob person but people always said that i am... well maybe because of my personality... thats thier first empression... and they turns out wrong after they know me

..nope, I'm not a snob.. and thankfully I don't meet many people who are! I think it is just plain silly to think some are elevated above others for any reason at all. All peoples and classes are all humans. Plain and simple. With all degrees of 'good' and 'bad' in all groups. Putting on airs just makes a clown as far as I'm concerned.. or actually, many times, I guess, the person can be over compensating. And what they really feel is inadequate, so they put on airs. Of course some others really do think they are superior and I think they'll one day have a rude awakening.. (as we all do in some way, sooner or later!) - I also think it's ridiculous to think of actors or actresses, or politicians, or anyone as somehow 'great' or an idol or anything like that. People are people, period. And the smarter and wiser they are, likely, the more humble!

Oh yes, I have met lots of snobs. The way they will look at you will make your blood boil and the most infuriating thing is that if you protest, they will just walk away with a wave of their hand as if your opinion does not matter at all. I’ll let out a little secret…my husband is one of the biggest snobs I have ever come across. See his ‘attitude’ was something which first attracted me to him but after marriage I gradually came to understand that he is a perfect snob. Most of the time, he keeps quiet doesn’t like too much interacting but if you (not me, somebody…say an acquaintance) probe him on it, he can be perfectly rude and tell you on your face that what you are saying doesn’t merit an opinion from him! this is one of the few things on which we disagree. I just cant think that everybody is actually so inferior to me or that I have an inherent right to be rude and supercilious.

No, I'm not a snob though some people may perceive me as one. :P I tend to keep to myself and am shy by nature. And since having kids I probably seem more like a snob than ever to some people. My kids come first and if someone wants or is talking to me I may have to cut them short and get back to my family. They are first and foremost on my list. I try not to look down on people (unless they themselves are snobs and are looking down on me first). Nor do I think I am better than anyone else. My sister on the other hand looked down on people all the time when we were younger. Some people that she snubbed were my friends, myself, and those that weren't in the "in" crowd. I remember in high school a couple of my friends thought I was full of it when I said my sister was a snob...that is until they saw it for themselves. :P One day as they were passing her in the hall of the school they said hi to her and she did a little huff and basically stuck up her nose at them. I just laughed and said I told you so when they said what a b she was. The last time I saw my sister was back in '01...after not seeing her for 11 years (her choice). I tried to be nice and said hi to her but she just snubbed me...again. It didn't surprise me any. It's too bad she didn't learn to grow up. Oh well, some people cannot be helped.

I'm not a snob; however I do have standards. I treat others with kindness and love. In return I expect the same. If I am treated badly I will drop you like a hot potato. So I guess if that is snobbery I am guilty. I dont see that as being a snob do you?

The person of the influence,I miss that our such person is a lot of .Because have a lot of arrogant,selfish person.They consider as correct,disliking the minority communicate with them.Even humiliate the second class person.This is a kind of behavior of loathing.

Well, i am not snob and i cant be snobbish. i dont have any superiority comples nether any inferiortity complexes, i am simple human being and treat others equallu wither he is rich or poor. as its not u decide , its God Given. And sure Snobs are every where, though i have not chance to meet one . or they were not like that with me. But people Show off,

well i am not and would not like to be one. yes i noticed this in a lot of people.they ten to act funny when you talk to them.they talk abut their old background snub you.i think such people should be taught lessons in understanding to behave.

i am not snob at all even im not in the mood i still try to smile to other people. Just last night i had this experience we just move here in our new apartment. Me and my room mate went to do laundry and we were talking inside the laundry room there was a black girl coming inside and when she got inside we smiled at her and she snobbed us!!i think that girl has an inferior complex lol!oh well we were just laughing and talking to our own language lol it was really funny last night!hehehe

I would never admit to being a snob, and I would never admit to being lowbrow. I am supposed to think that others are better than me, but I mean that would mean making me very low class. So I kind of regard myself as being right on the level if the other people start to improve their manners, act nice, and do not eat on the floor or eat wearing their pajamas at the breakfast table as well as not burping at inappropriate times.

I am not a snob but I have met plenty in my lifetime. I believe that we all have equal importance. Some snobs look down at people with jobs they deem unimportant. But forget that each and everyone of us is part of a pyramid....CEO's wouldn't have jobs if constructions workers didn't build the buildings. If there weren't servers in restaurants what fun would it be to go to eat...and so on. Not everyone has the same opportunities. Not everyone was given things by their parents. Snob..they are not worth my time.

I am a snob. It is not for any reason you have enumerated above but for the simple reason of protecting myself. I use it as a defense mechanism so that people can't easily come to me and abuse me. There are just so many people in the world who look for every opportunity to take advantage of others. I am a snob for people who are strangers to me, especially the beggars. (don't get me wrong, some beggars really abuse you). I like to help but some people tend to take advantage. I have to put on a face that will tell them not to go on with what they're thinking. LOL. A lot of people tell me they thought I was a snob but later on when they got to know me, they found out I was a good person inside. That is precisely what I was protecting. If I was kind to all the people, I would be a very used and abused person. That's how I draw the line with people. What about you Claire03, what's your story?

No..neither my hubby nor I are snobs...we value the intrinsic nature of all human beings to allow outwardly directed perceptions influence who we feel about them. My Mom raised me with the belief that we are all spiritual beings going through human experiences and that we all bleed the same color on the inside. Race, creed, color, position, wealth, ancestry, education do not determine how I feel about anyone...and none of that impresses me much. What does impress me are courageous people...or those who make a positive difference in the world...or overcome great challenges and rise above them. In our work in the media, and in public speaking and group facilitation we come across people from every walk of life. When a snobby person comes into our sphere and tries to pull a superiority complex routine on us...we either ignore them or verbally create a boundary that lets them know we are not buying into their self-important stance. We treat people how to treat us...and arrogant people are used to pushing their weight around. When you don't allow it they usually back off. If not...I walk away. They can't bully if there is no one there.

I wouldn't consider myself snobby at all. There are definitely people that I do not get along with or associate with for various reasons, none of which are to do with me feeling superior, but rather past altercations and disagreements. I will give everyone the time of day, and respect different opinions and views, so long as they as also respectful & not rude. My sister is a lovely person, but many regard her as a snob, as she only really associates with certain 'groups' or 'types' of people - well-off, attractive and well-mannered people, even if they're not actually kind or personable.

No Im not a snob, I am very friendly, but definitely there will always be a time that people become snobbish but usually I caught myself attention, not to be like that. But smiling and staying happy is much better than being snobbish :)
