Witty title about me being self-righteous.

I was called self-righteous by someone a few weeks ago and as much as I wish it wouldn't, it has been bothering me. As much as I say, "I couldn't careless what you say or think about me," truth is, a part of me does, I have a frontal lobe just like everyone and sometimes things hurt.

I keep wondering, "am I self-righteous?" and "why is that bad?" I understand society has made being self-righteous a bad thing, and some times it is, but why should someone be upset or scared of being who they are?

I'm not and will never apologize for who I am, maybe I am self-righteous, and maybe you are too, that's fine. Yes I hold myself to a high standard, everyone should. Maybe I'm better than some people, but I've earned that, I've worked to make myself better, I've learned things and continue to learn and that makes me, as a human, better. If you want to rank me against others then fine, that's what you do, I don't like saying "I'm better than you," because I don't think that's right.

I've set myself to a higher standard than what some other people have and I'm proud of myself and the choices I have made.

I was told today that I "attack" people for being wrong. I'm not going to say I don't attack people, but when you're being ignorant, I don't have much patience for that, especially when it comes to things you should know. Like how to spell and how to talk.
I said, "If you're a high school graduate then you should know the basics of grammar and spelling." There is no word in the English language that is spelled, "ur" it's "your" or "you're," there is no "wit" or "dis," it's "with" and "this." Can this come across as me attacking you? Probably, but I'd rather the world not be filled with idiots.
The rebuttal was, "what if there's a reason why they don't know the difference?" Then you shouldn't have graduated.
Public schools, I get it, are awful, I was lucky to go to a high school that wasn't too crappy, if you went to a school that sucked at teaching and you basically have the reading comprehension of a fifth grader, instead of getting butt hurt I think there should be some thanks involved. Is that self-righteous, most definitely, I admit it. However, would you rather be considered ignorant and idiotic and do nothing with your life or actually make something of yourself and have a good life???

If I say something on my blog that offends you and makes you think badly of me, you don't have to read my blog I'm not forcing you.  If I say something directly to you that offends you, please let me know so I don't do it again and I can apologize. I have no way of knowing if I have offended you if you don't tell me.

I'm self-righteous and proud of it. Sorry if you're offended.
