Overall, Less Wrong made me less of a jerk.

I'd like to think this is currently happening to me. I've always known that I would benefit from truly knowing I am not as smart as I think I am, and in order to delude myself into thinking I'm smarter than the vast majority of commenters on LW, I'd have to be HEROICALLY self-deceived. I feel soft-headed and a bit sad, but I know I'm better for it.

Now, when I think "I feel uncomfortable in this social situation," I'm much less likely to jump immediately to "because I'm so smart and bored." Instead, I wonder if I simply have social anxiety and if it's worth addressing with medication.
