I've become very humble irl. I acknowledge my own ignorance and learned to cultivate constant doubt in my 'beliefs'. I no longer pretend that I know everything like I once did. And now when I meet arrogant, egotistical people irl it makes me want to put my fist through their face. I'm much more quiet now, though. I usually just let other people do the talking, because I'm so consumed by big picture issues, truth seeking, documentaries, philosophy, etc. that when I start talking, I usually either come off as crazy and scare people, or come off as smart and annoy people; from what I've been told, anyways.
Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal.
come off as smart and annoy people
People really cannot stand to be confronted with those better than themselves.
