Some people are so narcissistic and midwittery that they believe they overcame their natural wiring

Well, in a certain sense, you can overcome your predetermined psychological wiring. A person with genes to be tall can be malnutritioned in childhood and end up short despite their "wiring". Why would something similar not be true for psychology, the root cause not being nutrition necessarily but also other things like cognitive milestones derived from social experiences, reinforcement, etc.

That isn't overcoming, it's not reaching up to the potential. That happens all the time, if you get killed before you turn into an adult your potential got extinguished before it blossomed, that doesn't mean you overcame it

Are some people so retarded that they use metaphors to make a point while also speaking about "midwittery"? Humans quite literally have no wiring, buckeroo.

There's no preset potential. No part of your body is perfectly tuned to every possible environmental factor. The idea of "overcoming" your predispositions or adversity comes from just basic objective observation. If most people in those same circumstances fail and you succeed, that means you literally overcame. If most people expect you to fail and you succeed, you literally overcame. If you expect yourself to fail and you succeed, you overcame.

Here we have an exhibit of ultimate self-resignation. Deep frustration with own inadequacies drives them to invent an external explanation of their failures. Their remains of rational thinking point at examples of people succeeding in their goals, and so they are in dire search of people that share their sentiment.

It's their cope
"Fake it until you make it". If they pretend they're above it eventually they'll wholeheartedly believe it
For example, asexuals, they tell themselves their whole life that they don't feel sexual attraction. They fool themselves into believing in that when the problem is purely hormonal or/and psychological

A better example is "depression" or "anxiety" honestly. So many copemaxxers on this website talk about these emotions that don't even exist, as if they exist. They try to fool themselves into thinking that they are somehow depressed despite everything being perfectly normal.
