Psychologists agree: Snobbery is not a question of tastes—no matter how old-fashioned or expensive. What makes someone a snob is the tendency to look down on others and treat them with condescension, says Leon Seltzer, a clinical psychologist in Del Mar, California.
"Snobbery comes from the inside out; it's about how you view other people," Seltzer says. It's one thing to spend your Saturdays at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, quite another to look down on the people at the multiplex around the corner.
At its most extreme, snobbery can be a symptom of --, a condition marked by grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a preoccupation with power and prestige. But unlike the garden-variety snob, narcissists have impaired relationships because they're unable to enter anyone else's world.
Narsasistic personality disorder – as disorder where people must demean others, which also happens within societies under the guise of religion and governments.
Good day to you Eutaphobia, Religion and Governments have been the biggest source of hypocrisy inters of societal standards.
Some people are snobs and look down on other people because thats how they were raised,and taught growing up,and they were probably taught or are insecure about themselves and use this snobish act as a barrier.
They generally feel that theyre better than you for whatever reason their parents taught them,maybe even though they never worked to close as hard as you did.
It stems from them just genuinely thinking theyre better for whatever reason,maybe they feel because they have a greater income that theyre superior to everybody else when in fact that has nothing to do with lifes greatness.
Lifes greatness is far better then a snob.............................................. .......

You forgot the ruling form of snobery these days, academia.
I lived in the town for 7 months of that one year. I was terrified that none of those people would think I was good enough to hang out with them. What finally got back to me was that everyone thought I was a snob!!!
Some people just are superior to others

So true!! However people who are truely superior understand their responsibility of respectability towards others.
Aaaaahhh, so it isn't just science. You have a hate-on for anyone with more knowledge than you.

I stand corrected. Narcissistic personality disorder – as disorder where people must demean others, which also happens within societies under the guise of academia, religion and governments. Snobs and narcissists will always associate themselves with a group which helps to make them feel superior. Strength in numbers.
Horse****, academia is an institution, like church.
Ahhh, so you don't like the people that provide education. You must be afraid of others gaining more knowledge than you.
No Anna i think the meaning trying to get accross is that those with high education think themselves better then you and anything you say is basically wrong without any proof on their part .
A little innocent and playful trolling, as it were.
