What is typically meant by someone sarcastically saying to you: “You think you can do that because of how brilliant you are? You want to show how brilliant you are?” My dad said this to me earlier and it confused me.

1. It sounds like: you think you are greater than you are

2. “Maybe!”

3. That’s what those coworkers always said, the ones who spent all of their time complaining and none of their time working.

4. Tell him the only reason you’re brilliant is because you have good genes

5. probably tried to tease and motivate you

6. I wish I knew what he meant so I could give you a proper reply, but also I’d also like to imagine his reaction if you casually said “Yeah, I sure do.”
