What is the difference between the God Complex and overconfidence?
So I've been doing some research on the God Complex, and I find that it's similar (if not identical) to overconfidence.
The God Complex can be defined as "an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility." (according to Wikipedia)
An overconfident/arrogant person also has those traits.
The God Complex also has something to do with trial and error, however I don't see how trial and error have anything to do with inflated feelings about personal ability.
Here's a TEDtalk about the subject:
1 AnswerPsychology8 years agoAs a Boy Scout with a Totin Chip, am I allowed to carry my pocket knife around?
I recently received my Totin Chip and I'm wondering whether I can bring my pocket knife with me in public for self-defense reasons.
I'm 14, and I know that the Totin Chip isn't a permit, but it's kind of like saying "this kid has had SOME training in knife safety."
I know that I can't bring my knife to school because there are rules against that, but what about public places like a restaurant or something? You never know what could happen.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoIs foreskin retraction reversible non-surgically?
I'm 14 and I've been noticing that my foreskin has been retracting lately. The foreskin is slowly separating from the glans of my penis and whenever I get an erection, I can feel my glans touching my pants. I find this sensation kind of weird, and my foreskin is close to completely retracting to go back behind my glans. Can I choose when my foreskin covers my glans and when it doesn't?
Thanks.
2 AnswersMen's Health9 years agoHow do you get rid of fear of the dark?
I'm 14 and my brother's 13. He's still afraid of darkness, because he believes crazy serial killers and monsters lurk in the dark. He keeps coming into my room at 2:30AM and asks me to sleep in his room on the floor in case a monster comes. How do I get rid of his fear?
5 AnswersPsychology9 years agoWhere should I volunteer to increase my chances of getting into a medical school?
I want to get into a medical school like Stanford or Harvard, but I don't know where.
I haven't volunteered before. I'm 13 and have no experience volunteering. I want to start now instead of starting in high school to maximize the number of hours I get.
Where should I volunteer?

1 AnswerLaw & Ethics10 years agoIf I re-run my jailbreak, will it delete all of my data?
I have an iPod touch (4th generation).
I used the redsn0w 4.3.1 jailbreak on it. Apparently, I forgot to enable "Battery Percentage" when I jailbroke it. If I re-run redsn0w (rc12), will it delete my apps such as Cydia, Installous, and my games?
