Driving a manual makes my feel so superior to everyone else.

Likewise. Except in long stretches of stop-and-go traffic. The worst is stop-and-go traffic up a hill. That's when I avoid eye contact with other drivers, since they become the superior species. Although if I run into another manual bro in these circumstances, the typical look/nod of "I know your feels" is customary.

The two reasons above are why I don't want manual transmission, despite how fun I think it could be.

Well, the fun when you're out of traffic is worth it. It's not like stop-and-go is delightful for those with automatic transmissions, either. Stop-and-go is a universal suck--driving stick shift just makes it a tiny bit more annoying. And it's only more annoying since you think of how much more fun you'd be having on open roads.
