I am sorry PF.
I know you were just trying to point out the peculiarity of feeling supreme yet knowing your own flaws. I suffer from that same thing.
You were making light of it. It's something you think about often, but never get the chance to speak of.
Truth is, you are better than loads of people - because there are plenty of awful people in the world. That's where the feeling starts.
Just be grateful you share both traits. If you didn't have the self doubt, you'd be an asshole. And if you didn't have the confidence, you'd be dead.
If none of that applies to you, I guess I'm just talkin' to myself.
EDIT: I am sorry this thread turned out like this.

Why is everyone so depressing.
Like, bye, I'm gonna go beat my head into the wall because it's happier than the shit in Spam.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

What we're all saying.
YOU GO BE HAPPY GIRL. HE HAPPY WITH YO MAN. YOU DON'T NEED SPAM.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M TOTES GONNA DO THAT.
ALL YOU FUCKERS CAN'T HANDLE THE NARGLE.
GO DO IT.
WE JUST CAN'T GRAB HOLD AND HANDLE THE NARGLE AT ALL.
And Hank summarizes my entire rant into three sentences.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow;
Between the crosses, row on row;
That mark our place; and in the sky;
The larks, still bravely singing, fly;
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
He tends to do that.
Hate is silly, as are most emotions in general. They cloud your judgment, you see.
Distaste at an intellectual level is far better. For example, when I say that I hate everyone I'm being hyperbolic in overstating my distaste into the actual emotion of hate. I don't actually "hate" anyone or anything because I am well enough in control of my emotional state that I do not allow my feelings to run wild and overwhelm my intellectual faculties. I may intensely dislike something, certainly, but I don't allow my rationale for said dislike to be muddled by emotions.
But I'm quite sure this is not at all a normal thing, so I'm not exactly saying you should follow my lead here. However, you might want to try heading in that direction by toning down on the hate whilst making a serious effort to evaluate why you dislike people in general at all. If you can identify what the cause for your hatred is (assuming it's not just teenage angst and thinking that misanthropy is cool because some characters in various forms of entertainment media are misanthropes), you can then see what differentiates you from the unwashed masses or, if you do not possess a significant difference from the mass of humanity that you dislike, you can strive toward making a change such that you need not level your disdain at yourself anymore.
Hating oneself never accomplishes anything, it only creates a nice downward spiral into depression. Try to avoid that.
Yes, I just made a serious response to this thread. Deal with it.

What are you doing on RPG? Get back in that ring!
If it’s worth anything, I feel those feels Paladin. I often look in the mirror and hate myself for what I am, looking at those goals miles away, almost unattainable. You’ve just gotta run. Run, and never look back. And at the end of the day, you just might be a bit closer to that thing you wanted.
