What do you do when you realize that you are stupid?

Question

Everything in the world including me, looks now very dumb to me.

Like try to compete with the people I know, try to look cool, try to look smart, try to impress the ones I know, think just about people I know, anything that involves a social manner seems pointless. I'm feeling frustrated, I don't know what to do.

Ok I know I'm stupid but I'm not trying to copy anybody, it seems that the ones that said that said it because they read someone before them saying it,

I actually try to be cool, & smart by being me and just me. What I found stupid is my nature of competition. That I actually enjoy to be cool and smart just because I'm original, that's what I hate.

Answer 1

start learning to accept who you are and then you won't feel bad about yourself.
being who you are isn't stupid! :]
OMG. my friends are competitive, so what! i like them still

Answer 2

Run a nice hot bath, then soak in it and think about what you love and what you know you are really good at whenever you don't feel like going out. Those are the things that are not stupid, because they matter to you. You'll sleep like a baby. Inner peace is a beautiful gift.

You're not stupid. Each person is different from the next, and it seems like you need to take the time to learn self love.The only one you'll ever have to impress is yourself, and you can only do that through inner examination & expression. You don't need to compete with anyone, just be you, and remember that how good or bad your world is has everything to do with your perception of it. You can make your own reality just by what you think.

Answer 3

Education corrects ignorance, which is okay but choosing to remain ignorant, that's stupidity and there is no help for that
I just ask out front what does that mean? lot of people get off on knowing stuff others don't and explaining it to them and they think less of you than if they find out later you were pretending then they make fun of you. Don't try to impress. It always comes off phony because that's all it is. Don't try to be like them, to live up to their standards of what they think is cool, etc. Be true to yourself. You come out looking way cooler because you are not a slave to their opinions, etc. You can't compete with anyone as long as you're competing with yourself, either. Friendship should not be a "competition" it should be a sharing. Friends don't judge, they accept.

Answer 4

you might be very little depressed, sounds like you lost the meaning of life and everything look pointless.

oh, now i understand you :) you're very wise you know that! my best advice: meet interesting people, read the phylosophies of other cultures, you will find some very new mentalities, and amazing beliefs and points of view.

trying to be cool, to look smart, to impress, all this social things might be very narrow minded things, but very useful too. they create the world we live in :)

i passed your phase, and i have learnt so many things. now, all people say that i don't think of my age, i think of few years older. i have searched and realised that there are so many people that think they way i do, or you are, and it's a great feeling, it will improve your life.

try to know the spirituality better, read about the religions, you will find out that this world is so big and there is something for everyone of us :)
good luck :)

Answer 5

But for your anger and frustration,the realization of your feeling as a lesser intelligent person ( stupid,in your words) ,could have an indication of a self awareness,which is not so easy to arrive at due to huge ego problems.Once having realized this shortcoming,the most prudent action would be to correct it.It's quite evident from your explanation,that you are a notch more intelligent than most people around you and therefore it should be easier for you to do it.The key words are,keep cool headed and don't compare or copy others.All the best.

Answer 6

You are frustrated and all because you are focused wrong. All I heard in that was " them them them them ". Never a me.

Who says "they" are cool? Who says "they" are smart? Stop worrying about being like them, and just be yourself. That's the key to being cool, smart, etc.

People who follow are just that, followers. People who do their own thing are known as leaders. The ones followers want to be. Stop being a follower and be a leader, you'll then be what you desire. For it will be yours.

Answer 7

I just live with what I am,

it's useless

Answer 8

Oh no , it seems you have lost some pride in yourself. and your competitive nature. It's no wonder you feel frustrated. I hope you can pick yourself up and not fall further to be absolutely stupid. Please try hard, it will make life easier for you.

Answer 10

if it happened to me i will definitely cease from being stupid, nobody likes to be stupid, i guess... and in your case it just seems that you are imitating other person, why don't you try to be yourself even at once and think if you still look stupid...
