Does anyone besides me hate ignorant people, I mean I try to get away from them and stay away?

Question

and keep them away and the longer I can stay away from them the more ignorant I see them as being, once I have to make contact with them again I know what they did wrong or why I think / thought they were stupid, does that make any sense? What about you and what do you do to try to make yourself feel different about them or see them differently so that you can deal with them again?

I think me saying this says more about me then it does anyone else, LOL I don't dislike people, sometimes I am ignorant and sometimes I am bored and sometimes I am wrong and sometimes I am tired and sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with them, but this got me an awful lot of answers. I love all of you all if you all like that or not that does not mean that I agree with all of you all or think I am wrong all the time or want to change my mind, that probably just means that I need to take a time out and try to be a good person for another five minutes if I can, LOL and then come back later when I am feeling more smooth, LOL thanks for the answers this is going to be hard and if I gave a thumbs down it wasn't because you were wrong or had a bad answer maybe I just didn 't want to see it, LOL

Answer 1

My biggest problem is ignorance in myself. Once exposed I can't take it back. My best friend has shown herself to me lately where as prior to this time her silence kept me from really knowing her. Lately she is talking more and I am finding out things I did not realize. Before I knew her as quiet and sweet. Now I see her as boring. I hate the loss of someone I have liked so I don't encourage her to speak. Once when given an opinion I suggested she should read more on the subject and she let me know she read all she needed to read. So now I just let her ramble on and I just smile.

Answer 2

The people organize themselves into social groups based on shared values. In any particular group, the group members will tend to see others who see the world differently, as ignorant.

It is true that they are ignorant of your point of view. You are ignorant of theirs. Who is to say who is most ignorant? It is probably equal.

I think it good that when you feel intolerant you withdraw. When you feel more accepting of others points of view make contact. Have a conversation. When people are different it is often a source of learning, just to have a conversation about something going on right then and there.
You say your point of view in a nonjudgmental way and the other person may feel invited to learn something from you.

I think your use of the word "hate" will have curious contradictory affect in your life. The resistance underlying hatred will, by focusing your attention, keep your mind occupied with the ideas of ignorant people.

What you pay attention to determines what you get.

The self-righteousness and arrogance of your tone sound like some fairly serious mind traps. There is some resentment there too. These mental states are damaging to your health. You can probably just stop.

I bet you would have a better outcome, if you focused on developing your own interests and becoming who you want to be. Forget about people who dislike the things you like. You can respect them without agreeing with them. There is no end to them, so it is good to have a strategy to benefit yourself from the inevitable encounters. They can all teach you something as they are DIFFERENT than you. What can you learn from someone who already thinks like you? Difference is pure gold.

Answer 3

Ignorant people are there for one blessed reason, they make you stand out in comparison. LOL.

I can see that you are being very stringent and strict in your dealings with people. That means you pay too much attention. FInd activities that give YOU pleasure, not pain.

Sometimes it is hard to avoid contact with awful people and awful places. Tell me about it.

School can be a pain in the butt, so does work when you dislike your job etc.

Escape. Ask your parents to send you to a school where there is a gifted class, or try home school so you can study at your own pace. You may have outgrown everybody academically already and school can be a bore.

Is home schooling an option? What about moving to another school where the academic standards are way up there?

Answer 4

The first thing you need to do is understand people, try to remove from yourself and dyour points of views, and stand in the other person's shoes.

"The amount of stupid people in blah university is overwhelming" - might sound like an arrogant, self centered statement to make for some people. But lets look in the speaker's point of view. Maybe s/he is refering to the amount of people that only memorize material, but when it comes time to think and analyze they do poorly? OR the alternative view - the easier view for some, is to say the speaker is so full of themselves! They think they're better than everyone!

Personally, I'm quite tolerant of ignorant people. I know everyone has faults. But I'm not tolerant to people that are mean to me (why do I need this from you?).

I know someones its really difficult to understand what the person is thinking or doing? And that it really is true that they are just physco / ignorant / self centered / etc.

Like a guy who doesnt show any reserve about letting people know how uncivilized everyone else is or how "under" him everyone else is. (Now, that I cannot tolerate) Currently I'm living as a guest with such host. Very rude and ignorant person. He will give verbal attacks out of the blue! Apparently its something that he doesnt see fit, its apparently "universally" wrong.

For these types of people, I'm afraid there's no way to understand them, other than they really do think they're above everyone and that they think they're always right. To deal with this type of person, the best thing really, is to stay away.
Unless you actually want to change yourself to be "acceptable" - and let me tell you, its impossible. No one is ever good enough by their eyes but themselves. - Keep that in mind for the supremely ignorant, self centered types.

For the other less severe, its a personality thing. Sometimes, for people that are very aware of themselves, they know they have a fault but its hard to change. So as a human being we need to tolerate these little faults of others. For some, they dont even know they have them. But still, its part of their personality. You can however, point it out to them in a nice way. They will probably be angry at first but over time they'll understand.

Answer 5

I don't hate ignorant people, they're a good company when they're not rude and they're easy to handle. Sometimes you don't need deep conversation and you just need to smile. They're good for that. I have a friend like you, who hates stupid people. But I'm tired of people trying to look inside me and analyze me. Ignorant people make it so much easier.

Answer 6

Hating people is ignorance in itself( someone once told me this). In life there will always be ignorant people that is just how the world is, so instead of running away from it educate them and show them the right way.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Well sometimes you have to look at like this, "Maybe I am the ignorant one." In your own point of view you seem right, but in theirs you are wrong. If you look at it like that then you really won't see that anyone is ignorant just misinformed. Most people believe this or that, and hey they could be wrong but oh well. Just let it slide. Let them believe they are wrong, they seem happy let them be that way, you know you are right. No reason in getting in an argument with someone who is ignorant they just won't listen to you.

Answer 9

the frusterating thing with ignorant people is that they usually dont want to change. i know, i know....you want to try and change them or at least get them to consider your point of view, right? unluckily for us smart people...the ignorant are unwilling to listen or even able to consider our point of view. what i do is try to just accept the fact that they are ignorant and that there's nothing i can do to change the fact....you just have to move on and not waste time on people that are like that...you might as well be speaking to a brick wall.

Answer 10

do you know the precise inter workings of a soviet nuclear submarine? no? your stupid!!?!?! wait no, no you're not, you are just ignorant, you haven't learned or been taught the information yet. if you see ignorant people its your job to enlighten them, maybe they will enlighten you. what we really need is a willingness to have our views and beliefs subjected to information.
