While I don't know that this is the case now, I definitely suffered from this behavior in the past. Its easy to see that "making damn sure people know that you're smart and know The Facts" is an ego boost and I certainly enjoy it. Its also fairly obvious that this stems from an insecurity in my intelligence -- how should I remove this insecurity, then?
