Is it normal to want to be stupid?

"Sanity and happiness are an Impossible combination." Mark Twain

You don't want to be simple minded, you want to be happy.

There is a difference.

And yes, everyone wants to be happy. So I'd say you're normal.

I wouldn't consider wanting to be "stupid" normal. Less aware is what I think you mean. The world is full of extroverts (simplistic minded people) that float on dayto
day without much deep reflection. Extroverts are smart people indeed, they just have a propensity for high doses
of stimuli, thus are inclined to less thoughtful activities such as: reading, pondering complex matters, and individual study. They would rather spend their time chatting, making friends, and just socializing in general. It is true, the more you know, the more problems find their way into the light.

"Ignorance is bliss" ~ Thomas Gray

"Knowledge is power" ~ Sir Francis Bacon

Good thing I'm not stupid, or else I'd actually WANT to converse with people.

Let's trade brains :D

I think you can still find a way to be happier. It's up to you to decide how you'll feel about whatever is happening in your mind. All of those things you take an interest in, and all the things you know, could be seen as being the things that enrich your life experience. Find a way to like this interesting dynamic you have if you'd like to.

Yeah!
It is normal
Sometimes i say myself:
Its a bless to be stupid!

A dog is extremely simple minded, and one of the happiest creatures on earth. While I love dogs, I would not want to be one. You should be thankful for the intelligence you posses and use it to understand that you can't control everything. Use your intelligence to further you in life and make you happy.

I am EXACTLY the same... I can't help you with the normal though =P

I have an IQ of 145...trust me, you do NOT want to have one that high (by the way, an IQ measures how quickly you learn, NOT how smart you are).

I feel the exact same way, like most people were happy as kids, because as a kid you obviously dont know very much about anything. So it seems like the more stupid you are, the more happy you are..Sadly.

You sound like an egotistical prick to me, personally.

I feel the same way. Being stupider than I am would be so relaxing....

You are probably just more of an idea person whereas your girlfriend is more of a people person. If you didn't have your thoughts you'd have nothing to talk about and your life would suck.

Well if you act stupid, then some part of that stupidity could actually rub off into yourself. I'm not saying that you can erase all the knowledge you have obtained, but it's possible to store it away in you mind. Just try thinking like a simple-minded person and it may come easier to you.

I have felt exactly the same previously, when for the first time in my life I was in a relationship with a similar person. I admired that ability to just live happily one day at a time. I ended up trying to be like that, and in a way I tried to unlearn what I am by losing touch with the things I knew, liked, read, watched, etc. I couldn't do it. Now I'm much happier with what I know, without the boyfriend that simply 'had to go' - for other more important reasons, just so we're clear. ;)

OP you just earned my respect. I wish I was amature Person like you sometimes.

Why did you learn all these things in the first place? Find that reason.
