Anybody else have an irrational inferiority complex about being self taught?

Nope.

The only time I have to think about my place in the world, on any topic you'd like, is when someone is trying to use it to make me feel bad.

The temptation to clapback at someone putting on airs is always strong, but these days I simply block because I realized that it doesn't matter if you're mean or if you're kind, they'll never change. They're lost causes. It's better just to block them, let them be misery-peddlers on their own time, and get on with things.

So if you're being made to feel inferior, dismiss whoever that is from your life and don't look back.

If the misery is coming from inside your own head, that's something beyond our advice.
