Why do bullies have a superiority complex?
Q. It used to be believed that bullies were insecure people, but studies have actually shown that the opposite is true. They bully others in order to reinforce their own feelings of superiority. I just wonder, though, what makes them feel so superior. Any suggestions?

How do you deal with someone who has a superiority complex?
Q. This is someone who I have to deal with every day, my roommate. Treats others unfairly (gets much more angry at something I would let go if he did it to me), selfish, corrects others whether or not they are wrong, thinks people who dont get his jokes are stupid (instead of thinking, "oh i must just be wierd") etc. Anyways, what should I do about this person besides move out, because I would rather solve the problem than run from the symptoms, and he is my best friend, too. How should I speak to such a person? How do I get through to him?

A. In my opinion, you could bring home a couple of your close friends for a good two hours or so you regularly talk to, and inform them to talk great things about you before they come over and make sure your roommate's there at that time, and that way, atleast your roommate will realize that you're someone who can't be treated unfairly and the very next time, he'd probably think twice before saying anything to you. Hope this helps.
