If you’re already surrounded by jerks with zero level of intelligence and can’t avoid daily encounters with them, I really feel for you. However, I’ve also left a few tips here that will HOPEFULLY help you deal with those human beings who lack intelligence.
Os 7 sinais mais brutais de estupidez
If someone is stupid, trust me, no matter how much they try, they won’t be able to hide it. However, here are 7 signs of stupidity that you should look out for.
1. Menosprezar-se a si próprio/ser vaidoso
Há dois tipos de pessoas estúpidas: aqueles que lutar contra as inseguranças devido à sua falta de inteligência e os egoístas que têm uma autoimagem muito inflacionada e vaidosa.
O primeiro grupo tem frequentemente autoestima issues, making them undermine themselves. They’re aware of their low IQ, but, in their heads, it seems like they’re the biggest morons in the world, and that greatly affects almost all areas of their lives.
On the flip side, the egotistical ones have a wrong, incredibly unrealistic self-image, making them overly proud of themselves. They aren’t even aware that to others, to pessoas inteligentes, it seems like they’re proud of their stupidity.
Pessoas inteligentes estão algures no meio de tudo isso. O seu nível de auto-consciência é muito elevado, e eles conhecer o seu valor e nunca permitir que ninguém a prejudique, especialmente eles próprios.
However, they’re proud of themselves, but they always have a realistic opinion about their possibilities. In other words, they don’t have an unrealistically high opinion of themselves.
2. Ser crítico e demasiado crítico
Uma coisa que as pessoas inteligentes nunca fazem é julgar os outros. They may or may not agree with their actions, but they’ll always keep their opinions to themselves.
Contrary to them, dumb people always criticize everyone around them and pretend they’re smarter than everyone else. I’ll sum this all up with Carl Jung’s quote: “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”
3. Vocabulário deficiente
Este é um dos sinais mais subtis de estupidez. Some people may use simple vocabulary when talking with certain people, but if they really have an inadequate vocabulary and have trouble understanding other people, it’s a clear sign of a low level of intelligence.
On the other hand, it may also be a sign of poor education. In that case, we can’t label it as stupidity, but it definitely affects the person’s level of intelligence and mental abilities.
4. Um obstáculo à escuta efectiva
As pessoas com baixos níveis de inteligência também têm a incapacidade de ouvir profundamente os outros. It’s not that they don’t want to. It’s just that their mind gets overloaded very fast, and their thoughts wander off somewhere else.
Simplesmente desligam os outros e pensam noutra coisa. Os seus competências auditivas (na verdade, a sua falta de capacidade de escuta) são uma das principais razões pelas quais as pessoas burras têm dificuldade em manter relações saudáveis com outras pessoas.
5. Linguagem corporal vaga
As pessoas estúpidas não têm capacidade de comunicação verbal e não verbal.
Os seus sinais não verbais são confusos e tensos. They aren’t able to hold eye contact with another person, they have fast movements, and their hand gestures are pretty much all over the place while they’re trying to explain something…
All of this is because, deep down, they’re aware of their flaws and inabilities. And it all reflects in their super confusing nonverbal signals and vague body language.
6. Desinibição
Dumb people have that inability to think before they talk. That’s why they may seem even more stupid than they actually are.
Dizem sempre a primeira coisa que lhes vem à cabeça sem pensar muito.
Magoam os seus entes queridos e as pessoas que os rodeiam sem sequer se aperceberem disso. It’s probably one of the things that frustrate us about stupid people the most.
7. Ser facilmente influenciado pelos outros
The fact is that people with a low IQ have no personality of their own. That’s why they’re so impressionable.
Também os torna fracos e presas fáceis para que outros os influenciem ou manipulem para que façam alguma coisa.
They don’t have the ability to recognize those manipulations, and, unfortunately, they fall for them almost every time.
My 9-year-old kid has his own style and, trust me, that’s the thing I love about my kid the most. It’s simply a sign that he already has his own personality, and I honestly love it.
Como lidar com pessoas estúpidas: 8 dicas incríveis
Para ser honesto, as pessoas inteligentes sabem que a melhor forma de lidar com pessoas estúpidas é evitá-las ou, pelo menos, distanciarem-se delas o mais possível.
Unfortunately, we were surrounded by morons in high school, and then they became part of our work-life… our social media is full of the stupid things they share every day, and we don’t have the luxury of cutting them out of our lives forever.
No entanto, nem tudo é assim tão negro. Tenho aqui as dicas mais poderosas que o ajudarão a lidar com esses idiotas e a sua estupidez quotidiana.
1. Don’t engage in unnecessary arguments
Saber quando desistir de uma luta é um dos maiores sinais de inteligênciaespecialmente quando essa luta não é razoável e é completamente desnecessária.
Quando uma pessoa com um QI baixo tenta levar-te para uma luta, tens de resistir à tentação e ignorá-la. Stooping to their level will only make you look stupid, and I’m sure that’s the last thing you want.
Simply told, just don’t get caught up in arguments that won’t bring you anything good.
2. Saber quando recuar
We’re all different people with different points of view and perspectives on different things in life. I agree that some of those perspectives are beyond wrong, but it’s not your job to fix them.
It’s okay to discuss it with someone and maybe try to explain why their viewpoints or opinions are wrong, but you should also know when it’s time to pull back.
No matter how hard you try to explain it, some people just won’t get it. It’ll only cost you your sanity, and the other person will keep living their life with the wrong opinions and viewpoints.
3. Don’t get smart with them
As previously mentioned, you can try to point out why their opinion is wrong, but you should never get too smart with them. Trust me, I’m telling this for your own well-being.
Só pode dar origem a discussões desnecessárias e deixá-lo com uma terrível dor de cabeça. It’s impossible to explain certain things to some people, and all you can do is accept it, and let them be… Well, let them enjoy their stupidity.
4. Tentar não utilizar um vocabulário complexo
Quando falar com eles, concentre-se em usar palavras simples. Try to adjust your vocabulary to their level of intelligence so you don’t have to waste time explaining terms they don’t understand.
Believe me, it’ll save both your time and sanity.
Also, try to control your body language. I know that most of us use hand gestures when explaining something to someone else, but try to calm your hands because they may be distracted by it, and, in that case, they definitely won’t understand a single word you’re saying.
5. TENTAR ser paciente e compreensivo
If you choose to help them, try to explain where and why they’re wrong. However, do it nicely, without insulting them or yelling at them.
O que todos temos de compreender é que nem todos podemos ser inteligentes e espertos. And in the end, that’s not the most important thing.
A forma como tratamos os outros é o que mais conta. That’s why, no matter how much their stupidity pisses you off, you need to control your temper and try to remain calm.
6. Don’t say something that could hurt their feelings
Sometimes, the stupidity of others may frustrate you, but you should never allow yourself to say something or call them names you’ll regret later.
Don’t insult them. If you can’t help them, just distance yourself and do nothing. If you say something and your words end up hurting them, you’ll feel bad about it later and wish you could take them back but know that it’s impossible.
7. Espelhar a sua linguagem corporal como incentivo
Se quer realmente ajudá-los ou encorajá-los, este é o caminho a seguir. Siga os gestos das mãos, as expressões faciais e a linguagem corporal.
In most cases, people who are aware of their low level of intelligence (unfortunately, many of them aren’t) struggle with low self-esteem. They’re afraid to speak and say their opinion regarding certain things because of their fear of looking stupid.
Mirroring their body language will give them the support to talk because they’ll feel understood.
8. Se eles continuam a ameaçar a sua paz de espírito, ignore-os
As I said above, intelligent people know that ignorance is the best way to deal with morons. Just pretend like they don’t exist, like you can’t even see them, and save yourself from their stupidity.
Na verdade, deve ignorar qualquer pessoa que ameace a sua felicidade e paz interior. Don’t allow yourself to be troubled by someone else’s stupidity.
So, if you can’t help them with these above tips, if you can’t affect them positively, just let it go and distance yourself from them. Save yourself the trouble and let them live their lives. Let them keep destroying themselves with their stupidity.
Para concluir
I strongly believe that intelligence isn’t something we are born with. Melhorá-lo e aumentar o nosso nível de QI depende apenas de nós próprios.
My intention really isn’t to insult anyone. So, if you’ve recognized any of these 7 signs of stupidity, you shouldn’t be offended but encouraged to work on yourself and improve those not-so-great parts of your personality.
Also, if you’re surrounded by stupid people who don’t want to admit or acknowledge it or try to change, I hope these tips will help you deal with them.
Just remember, don’t ever allow anyone’s behavior to affect a vossa felicidade ou prejudicar a sua paz interior.
