Another blog about someone growing out of believing he was different and special. He begins:

"When I was in my late teens—high school and early college—I remember having the persistent suspicion that I was different than everybody else. Better, really. I saw things more clearly then they did, I had a richer inner life. I was the only person I knew who saw everything there was to see. Everybody else had stuffing for brains.
I know now that I was just being a schmuck. Pretty much every teenager thinks these things, and most of them grow out of it and become functioning adults who can see their own flaws and recognize the good qualities (along with the flaws) in other people. Meaningful human society is built on the understanding of adults, not on the delusions of teenagers."

Do all teenagers really think that? Is it a delusion?
