Learn humility. When you think about how much superior you are to others, challenge that idea: think of ways in which you are not superior. Perhaps more important, remind yourself that your superiority is partially determined by luck. Practice, practice, practice.
Learn confidence. This may or may not be true in your case, but people often feel contempt towards people that they worry may judge them harshly. If you are confident enough not to be threatened by their judgment, then you can act more wisely and learn to manipulate the interactions.
#2 is very interesting and something that hadn’t occurred to me before. It is a reciprocal relationship. I judge others too harshly and in turn (since i generalize others from the example of myself) worry that I will be judged too harshly.
thank you very much!
edit: font is showing up weird for me even though I did no formatting...

In the “recent comments” segment of the sidebar, a pound sign appears which doesn’t show up in the full comment. Could that be it?
#Testing. This paragraph begins with a pound sign.
#Testing. This paragraph begins with a backslash followed by a pound sign.
So apparently you did do formatting, accidentally. Escape the pound sign with a backslash to rid yourself of the giant bold text.
Cool! That’s not documented in the help.
