I have this classmate who's really smart, sometimes even smarter than some of our teachers. But there's this one problem abut him, he's just to airy or has to much confidence in himself- that's why not many people like him. And I always see him alone to- and I kind of pity because of that... If only he was more humble he would've had many friends.

hi there.
i had the same classmate before. yes you were probably right. he's kinda' annoying for each and every one of us because he felt he's superior among everybody and he can do whatever the professor tells us to do. he's smart we all know, but his personality makes him stupid. LOL. see you around.

Hmmm! I also know someone with the same trait. Though I have not tested how smart he is, but his family are very much proud of his achievements in school. But I am not impressed because he has a boastful attitude. He thinks as if he is always right and he is disrespectful.

Yes, they kind of have the same attitude with the guy I am talking about. Some of m y friends said his parents are smart, that's why he chose the same career as them and is really god at it. I don't really know if he's that disrespectful since I don't talk to him unless I need to.

Hi lady,
It takes lots of hard work and genius to achieve something big and it is not easy to digest if you achieve it. So people brag about themselves and how good they are and what they did . But everything has a cost, in bargain they loose lots of admirers and humbleness is not what something every achiever has. But all religious books say you must be humble and let others praise you and self praise surely a well to going down.

Hi there!
I agree! You're right. I don't like that kind of person. He won't have friends because of his attitude. Yes he's intelligent and you all know that but he must be humble. He can show that he's smart but not in a boastful way. I also feel pity for him. I think you should talk to him and make friends with him or tell him frankly that if he wants to have friends he better change his attitude. :)

Hello Lady,
Smart people who thinks getting the best of anyone won't be able to abide them with friends. which I believed is still the best there is. sometimes, the smartest people with out leadership or charismatic skills didn't end up as successful in school. people should realize that being smart isn't the only thing that matters in this world, friends too. well, some people didn't really depend on friends but they have lots of acquaintances.

That is the problem with some people. Because they think that they are superior when it comes to intellect over other people they have that kind of awful attitude.
Well, he isn't alone. There are lots of him who are like that. I'd say he isn't smart just intelligent but never smart. A smart one knows how to deal with people around him and knows how to deal with himself as well. This classmate of yours is just a conceited guy. Nothing more.
I agree with you, he is pathetic...

Hi there lady1993!!!!
I guess I will also feel pity for this person.I'd rather be not that smart than to be friendless becoz of being over confident.I think it is also important for us people to be humble in everything that we do.We should not make people feel that they are inferior or incapable of surpassing us.We should always think that all people are equal.
I think your classmate didn't know that you see him as over confident.Maybe for him this is only normal.But if there will be a time that he will be very over confident and try to offend others I think someone needs to confront him already.

Hi lady, you're a kind person. I think your friend had the high IQ score but not with his EQ (emotional quotient) score, because from what you've talk he can't cope with people. Maybe you should try and talk to him, know him better and maybe you'll know the reason for his behavior, he need friends who's care enough to understand him.

i know a lot of intelligent people like that. people should always have their feet anchored on the ground. if you pity the guy, maybe you can be his friend and help him get his feet on the ground? maybe he just needs someone who will show him what he has become. but still, people can be very hard headed, so its up to you. but if you ask me, its worth a try. :)
