Child Prodigy's Arrogance Ruins His Chances with Crush

Being a child prodigy comes with its perks but also its downsides. In this post, a Reddit user shares how their younger brother's arrogance and lack of modesty cost him his crush. The younger brother, who is known in academic circles and attends an institute of higher education, has become very arrogant and condescending to people he deems below him. He constantly talks about himself, dismisses other people's ideas and accomplishments, and even criticizes their career choices. He has a crush on a girl who is obviously uncomfortable with his behavior toward her. The post explains how the author finally told his brother that his personality was becoming a problem and that he needs to show some modesty if he wants to have a chance with his crush. The post also describes how the author's parents disagreed with him and thought it was horrible to say this to a 13-year-old. The introduction ends by leading into the comments and reactions of readers who share their opinions on whether the author was the a**hole or not for telling his brother the truth.
