I usually think that most people around me are stupid/naive ?

I get this feeling regularly, even with close friends and family members that they are all stupid.

Now this doesn't mean that i feel it at all times, but for each person there's a time where he/she gets my subconscious rating of stupidity, and its impossible for me to tell when/what made that person appears stupid to me.

I sometimes contrarily think that my stupid-ness is what makes me think of such things, and other people are normal and im the one who is stupid.

The strange thing after all is that most people like me, and I never (since age of maturity) had went into any kinds of fights (physical/verbal) except for usual family quarrels.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Sometimes it's difficult to remind ourselves that some of the most intelligent ideas we conceive, whether they be solutions to problems, observations or just general philosophy, remain contained in our own heads.

    Since we can't always verbalise or express these to other people, and since other people can't read our minds, those little sparks of intelligent won't necessarily shine in our every day interaction with people. In other words, we can all appear more stupid than we actually are, and vice versa.

    I used to be much more arrogant than I am now, but realised over time that I am just as capable of absolute stupidity as I am of being a clever guy.

  • Some people are only stupid because they don't try to be anything other then that. Most of the people I watch daily are like that. I don't understand why they don't try to be respected!

  • I always assume I'm the stupid one. Often, I actually am.

  • Usually the people who think so, are the people that have alot of self-pride, and think that most people are below them...like me.

    I've learned the hard way that we shouldn't underestimate people. I've been shocked so many times by those very people this year. I found myself lagging behind them...so I find myself more and more humble by the day.

  • Sometimes it is tiring to be around people. I have had days when I was tired of being around my family. One time my parents were leaving and forgot to close the front door. Luckily I saw this otherwise the indoor cats would have gotten out. I was glad they left after seeing the door wide open and having to close it behind them.

  • You sound like one of those types who takes things, "so seriously" and all the time. Just loosen up a little bit. Sometimes people are just goofing around. Heck, I do it. And sometimes people make me nervous, and then I end up sounding more like a moron then I ever did before.

  • First thing I think of is 'grandiose sense of self', and everything I've ready in association with that term...isn't great. Good luck with that. It would probably take a series of humbling experiences to dilute it & bring into perspective. Any time I've had those thoughts, it didn't take long until karma came around, rubbed my nose in it and I felt like a mook.

  • Thinking other people are less than you is a sure fire way to end up a loser. Frankly, I much prefer people to underestimate my abilities. Soon enough, they will learn the truth.

    • I know that im wrong in prejudging people in such way, but the thing is that i dont know why it happens, maybe too much self-pride or something.
