Lower your expectations but NEVER lower your standards.

[Ulysses]

Stupid people should be consequently ignored, if possible...

[Bluefoot]

when someone repeatably does things that harm themselves and others the only reasonable course of action is to avoid this person

playing this out loud so i can indirectly insult my uncle

At least know I know how all the smart people around me feel.

I needed to hear this. I have a really stupid friend who misinterprets everything I say all the time. This misinterpretation is followed up by stupid comments and opinions they form off of those misinterpretations. This guy is so stupid and annoying I honestly feel like ending our friendship over it because it annoys me to no end. This video was helpful.

I like to ask them questions until they contradict themselves then keep asking for an explanation. They will finally feel their stupidity.

We all make mistakes, doing stupid things, but the real problem is the person who ignores the mistakes they make and never learn anything about their mistakes.
My advice is that for the person i mentioned above that every time the willfully stupid person comes around, PUT ON HEADPHONES.

This video is asking me to tolerate stupid people.
Nah, I'm good.

I have known my mom as a stupid and stubborn person ever since middle school. I still live with her and recently I stay home most of the time being stuck with her. The gravity of the extend of her stupidity really begins to hit me. This video is very helpful and it gives me some relief and peace. I need to learn to deal with her. Let things go... Can't let it get to me.

[The-You-Doober]

What I've learned about being on this earth for 55 years is to not deal with stupid people at all. Let the other stupid people deal with stupid people. I don't waste my time with stupid people. I have better things to do.

There are a few realizations I've had that help me to react better. The beauty of it is it requires no action on your part, simply knowing these things helps.

1) The number of stupid people is often higher than we discuss or may realize. This is because people can be otherwise very competent in other areas of their lives like work, academics, etc.

2) This is the most important one, IT ISN'T YOU. It isn't you, it isn't your fault. Stupid people are much more prevalent than they used to be, some is by design, some is due to an easier lifestyle than mankind had before the industrial boom. Often times it can make you question yourself (as any intelligent person would do at one point or another when faced with this volume of encounters with stupid people). If someone seems stupid, they probably are. ID this and move on with your life, it isn't worth your time.

3) Your reaction is normal. It is normal to be frustrated or even mad. It is a completely normal reaction. It isn't fair, but it's normal. It isn't fair that the idiot that makes the mistake driving and blames you goes on about their day. They will be completely relaxed for the rest of the evening while you're left frustrated and POed with them. It isn't fair that it's other people who have to deal with their stupidity, and not themselves. But it's the way it is. Try to think about hobbies, God, or the opposite sex when you find these frustrations creeping into your thoughts.

What pisses me off the most is stupid people are administrators or people that's above you business wise thats supposed to know certain things of what you're trying to do and they don't and they get on your case when you have a dream that is above their thinking and they don't understand it and try to mock you. When it was proven that you done it before and have a reference for that

[cturdo]

Lower your standards? No, lower your expectations of them and find some smart people. Weed stupid people out of your life, or better yet, let them do it for you.

[flashxd]

Stupidity is often rewarded and idealized these days it just makes people feel good or something to not make any fucking sense.

[williamramos]

What do you do when it is a whole society? Does not even matter the educational level, race, religious beliefs, political views or financial status.

[dougjones]

It's important but difficult to differentiate between a stupid person and a person who doesn't care or just doesn't hold value in the things that most people do. When I was younger I was called stupid by people who didn't know me a couple times, yet they didn't realize that because of severe depression I just didn't care about the things most folks do.
