Soooo Episode 1 Of CCS…I Basically Started Crying Here:

WTF?

lotta people I know, especially neurodivergent ppl with special interests, express fear that they're a "know it all" or a "snob."

If that sounds like you, allow me to clear things up for ya:

A know-it-all loves making others feel inferior with their knowledge. They worked hard to learn something, and now they find great joy in holding it over others' heads.

To a know-it-all, there is no greater pleasure than realizing someone else doesn't know something, and subsequently humiliating that person for their ignorance on a topic.

Snobs and know-it-alls live for that "gotcha" moment, when they get to embarrass a person and lord their knowledge over someone, making them feel worthless for even daring to speak about something they don't know much about.

Whereas someone who just knows a lot revels in getting to share their knowledge with others. The infodump is not to brag, taunt, or embarrass. In fact, just the opposite, we info dump with the goal to engage others in something we love.

When we correct someone, it's because the information we have is important to us, and we want the facts known by everyone possible. Our goal is never to humiliate.

Above all, a know-it-all and a snob will never admit when they are wrong. They will double down and rage against the notion that someone else might know more than they do about a topic.

Someone who admits they are mistaken, that they don't have all the facts, even if it takes them a day to come back embarrassed and say "you know what, yesterday you were right, and I wasn't,"

Can never be a know-it-all or a snob.

Keep learning, keep teaching, keep sharing.

If you spread what you know with honest joy, passion, and the understanding that other people have something valuable to add, you cannot be and are not a snob, and the world is better for your passion!

LMAO

i be like “writing isn’t my passion” but then proceed to spend every waking hour and even the occasional dream thinking abt a new plot or concept, read essays and the journals of popular authors, literally consume any written material available to me, once stayed up until 2 am three nights in a row to work on a draft that has never seen the light of day, and spend nearly every second of my free time plotting, planning, or writing fics & then tell everyone it’s just a hobby to me

Wow... WTF?

So violently passionate!

WTF with Tom Hiddelston's licklips ?

Did anyone ever notice this?

Yeah... I suppose everyone did, even the non-hiddelstoners.

Upsetting, no?

Well, let me tell you this Tom.

F- STOP IT!

I CAN'T COPE WITH THIS ALL THE TIME !

Yeah, that's it, keep going, one day you'll be surprised by the uncontrolled result of this constant teasing.

Very. Surprised.

Trust me.

*Aggressively shoves Horace Slughorn towards you*

*Points at Cedric Diggory with a large pointing stick* 

“Ravenclaws are just a bunch of snobbish nerds.”
