self-appointed saint syndrome


(abbreviated s-ss) a state of mind in which the sufferer (the self-appointed saint) patronizes others, under the belief that they helped those people attain some sort of salvation. although it’s similar to god complex, s-ss is different in that sufferers use an unnecessary amount of compliments and gifts to patronize their victims. this makes the victim feel as they are below the self-appointed saint, and thus makes the self-appointed saint feel like they are of an elevated status compared to others.
