Anyone who tells you that they aren't better than anyone else is right. I firmly believe that.
It's a fact of reality that some people are better than others and anyone who goes through the effort of saying they aren't better than someone else must be aiming to be the lowest of the low in some way or another.
Did you catch that? Not all men are created equal.
As human beings, we all have a rational capacity that allows us to deal with reality. Broadly speaking, most all human beings share this same capacity; it's what makes us human! But 'the force' just isn't as strong with everyone.
Did you catch THAT? Some men are more able than others.
That's right! The most critical aspect in which people differ is in ability, and most importantly in their mental ability.
If you're a person of superior mental ability and you're preoccupied with not appearing to be better than anyone else, how likely do you think you will be to apply your superior ability?
The important lesson to get from all this, though, is that there is very little value in trying to compare yourself to everyone else. Surely you have something better to do with your time and energy. Your ability, however great or small, is not established by comparison, but by demonstration.
So, get off of your butt and stop talking about how better or worse you are has a human being and show us.
