My entire sense of self-worth hinges on me being the person that always has the answers. This goes for random trivia, musical notation, my work and business, and now, my college classes. My professor is smarter than me, which I find glaringly evident, and it’s tearing me apart to the point that I can barely function. My own intellectual pride is preventing me from being an intellectual. I need to be put in my place, and it is being done as I speak, and it’s so painful I just spent an entire day sulking to the degree that my wife thought I was mad at HER. I need psychological help.
