What I’m seeing here is someone who REALLY likes witty quips, but is very upset that nobody else appreciates them.

I’m with you, buddy. None of my snappy responses ever convinced a bully that I was worthy of respect, but his constant repetition of movie quotes always got a chuckle from his cronies.

Smart people know big words, but smarter people know when to use them. Making an impression on others isn’t about proving that you have higher value than someone else, it’s about proving that you are one of them. Reminding people that you’re different from them pushes you away.

Or, I might just be projecting shit I’ve been through. Maybe it’s useful to someone.
