Stupidity is like a contagious disease, Shakespeare warned, so it is important to choose your environment more carefully. But how do you know who to avoid? And is it really necessary? This is what psychologist Maria Tikhonova says.

I am a humanistically inclined person, so I am sure that stupidity is a temporary state of mind, something like infantile immaturity. However, I am unlikely to be mistaken if I assume that, due to their own stupidity, many people do not live as fun as they would like. And even more so to their loved ones. But let's figure out what exactly stupidity is and how it can prevent not only those who deal with such a person from enjoying life, but also himself.

A fool talks only about himself

Any communication involves dialogue, and a mature person usually understands that this is a way of exchanging information. Exchange, not planting. It happens, of course, that a person needs to speak out when something has happened - it happens to everyone. But if we are talking about a pathological solo, when the interlocutor does not have the opportunity to get a word in, much less say anything, we are dealing with a fool. And don't talk to me about the narcissistic personality. All that matters in this case is that the person did not understand that listening is an important resource in the process of gaining life experience. In addition, this quality is very valuable in friendly communication. And if I’m the only one listening, why not someone more interesting? There are a lot of smart lecturers now.

Clever curse words

You can easily insult a person with clever words. Phrases may hint at illness, disadvantage, weakness, appearance, status or other important qualities.

They should be used if the offender offended without reason, insulted, or even raised his hand.

Let's look at smart phrases without swearing:

  • You're doing the right thing by giggling. They don't laugh with your teeth!
  • If you fall under the hot hand, you will fly under the hot foot
  • Teeth are not hair; if they fly out, you won’t catch them.
  • You remind me of the ocean... You make me just as sick.
  • I probably have to look like a sucker to fit in with you.
  • There is no need to feel sorry for him, he is not sick, this is his usual appearance.
  • Yes, beauty is clearly not your advantage.
  • I would send you, but, apparently, you have already been there.
  • A positive Rh factor is, apparently, the only “plus” in the list of your advantages.
  • It’s okay, I didn’t remember your name either.
  • I don’t have the strength to listen to your insanity.
  • Are you always this stupid, or is today a special occasion?
  • As an outsider, what do you think about the human race?
  • I would like to punch you in the teeth, but why should I improve your appearance?
  • At least there is one positive thing about your body. It's not as scary as your face!
  • The brain isn't everything. But in your case it’s nothing!
  • Be careful not to let your brain get into your head!
  • I like you. They say I have disgusting taste, but I love you.
  • Have your parents ever asked you to run away from home?
  • If only I had a face like yours. I would sue my parents!
  • Don't be upset. Many people have no talent either!
  • Don't be offended, but is it your job to spread ignorance?
  • Keep talking, someday you will manage to say something smart!
  • There are a lot of people and they are loud

    Let me make a reservation right away: there are cases of special, loud charisma - but in such cases questions do not arise like “Or maybe he’s just a fool?” I'm not talking about them, but about those stupid people who often substitute intensity for the lack of depth and meaning. Imagine: a restaurant, dim lights, people talking, someone working on a laptop, someone having a quiet romantic meeting. Here and there the sound increases slightly: they laugh, greet those who have come... And suddenly, among this cozy noise, there is the annoying voice of a lady who tells her interlocutor the details of her personal life. And no one present can stand aside. We don’t want to listen, especially since it’s not interesting, stupid, flat... But this is how our brain works: we are forced to pay attention to sharp sounds, because life may depend on it. And now the entire restaurant is dedicated to the details of the divorce... The lucky ones with a laptop are lucky - they have headphones and, looking askance at the violator of the sound mode, they rush to untangle the wiring. The couple quickly pays and runs away: everything is just beginning for them, and other people’s divorces are an extremely inappropriate topic. The lady orders more wine and gets even louder. And those who sit on the street terrace have already heard about her stupidity... The rules of etiquette involuntarily come to mind. They, like the instruction manual for the kettle, are in many ways foolproof. Demonstrations of the fool in oneself.

    How to humiliate a handsome guy?

    Human psychology is designed in such a way that even one impudent word can cause strong offense.

    At the same time, it is not at all necessary that it be a swear word; you can humiliate, insult, besiege, put in your place with cultural words. But not everyone can do this.

    Often unpleasant situations arise between a girl and a guy - a quarrel, misunderstanding, and sometimes a fight with insults.

    In the latter case, it is worth using several techniques to humiliate and insult the offender with clever words, so that he would not raise his hand in the future.

    Note! The worst and most unpleasant thing a man can do to a girl or woman is to raise his hand.

    In these situations, it’s worth hitting him where it hurts most, and this should be done morally. Guys are greatly offended by phrases using the word “impotent.”

    The table shows the qualities that are considered holy for a guy.

    If you want to take revenge on the offender, then in correspondence or in words you can use phrases that mention these qualities in a bad light:

    QualityPhrases
    Masculine dignity, strength. Guys react painfully to phrases that mention their sexual abilities.

    A girl can morally insult and humiliate a person with phrases that contain the word “impotent”

    This will be especially unpleasant for those who have a really low income or no job.

    Since ancient times, it was believed that a man is a breadwinner, therefore the inability to have wealth is considered the greatest humiliation

    In which the emphasis will be on the stupidity and recklessness of the guy, even if he is well brought up and has a higher education.

    With their help, girls can firmly put a person in his place without swearing.

    A fool ignores the other person's needs

    Is he interested? Isn't he tired? Maybe he needs to step away, but he just can’t find a suitable break? In one breath, such a person fills the entire space. It can be especially difficult for sensitive people who are afraid of offending or being inappropriate. The lack of need for feedback indicates an infantile confidence in oneself being right. Such interlocutors are like a child not yet endowed with empathy who cannot understand that his mother is tired of dragging him on a sled for the eighteenth kilometer. So, on the one hand, they seem to make it clear: “If you don’t like something, just say it.” On the other hand, yeah, try it, tell me. Paying the bill for your grievances - thank you, not today.

    How to insult a woman without swearing?

    Sometimes women themselves ask for humiliation and insults. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to respond to curses; you can answer harshly and competently without swearing. The phrases will sound offensive and unpleasant, even worse than swear words.

    Women are sensitive to criticism of their appearance. It is important to choose the words correctly and beautifully, you don’t need to say directly: you are scary, you are ugly, but they will help you delicately understand this.

    For a girl, phrases with a hint of ugly appearance will be offensive and unpleasant:

    • When God created women, he decided to save money on you!
    • I would offend you, but I’ll just advise you to look in the mirror!
    • Your words are the helpless barking of a dirty mongrel!
    • Surprisingly, she’s not rich in intelligence and has no face!
    • It’s a pity to spit in such a face!

    You can take revenge on a woman in another way.

    Phrases that mention excessive popularity among men are very offensive:

    • There’s nowhere to put a sample on you!
    • You have already given all your dignity to other people's men!
    • You are the shame of the father and the tears of the mother!
    • You are a quality man's bedding!
    • Your whole life is serving your master’s sugar!
    • No normal guy will even look in your direction!
    • All your attractiveness ended 10 men ago!
    • To get involved with you is to disgrace yourself!

    The phrases should point out the flaws of the mind, they should make her look like a fool in front of everyone.

    Let's consider several suitable options:

    • If you were smart, then you would have a decent man!”
    • Men don't leave smart women!
    • So, I look at you and at first glance it seems that you are a fool! And then you look and it’s true - you’re a fool!

    A stupid man is afraid of everything

    I won’t go there - that’s where it is. I won’t go here - it’s there. However, the constant search for a zone of safety and comfort interferes with evolution. Any living mind of this evolution is hungry and finds ways to either independently come to terms with its own fears or seek help. It's stupid to let fears control your life. There is also the other side of the coin - when a person rushes into battle without weighing the risks and without comparing them with his own strengths. How many stupid things have been committed on this courage! But this second type of “headless horsemen” is still closer to me than the waiters who fear everything. By performing some action, a person gains experience, even a negative one, and some wisdom. And what experience and wisdom does a person have who stays within four walls and, out of boredom, experiments only with finding the best TV channel?..

    Optimism

    Scientists have long proven that our thoughts are interconnected with events in our lives. Of course, this does not mean that if you just want a huge cottage on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, tomorrow a person will have the keys to it. Thoughts are material in the sense that a person adjusts his thinking to the desired outcome of an event.

    For example, having prepared for layoffs in advance, there is a high probability that the person will actually be fired. And the point here is far from being about magic, but about the fact that, having learned about the layoff, a person begins to fill all his thoughts with this negativity, while doing nothing to avoid being fired.

    Smart people know that the right mindset and optimism helps in life and makes it easier. Positive thoughts help you quickly absorb information and solve problems. Even when bad moments come in the lives of smart people, they think ahead and, most likely, already know how to overcome the crisis.

    A fool does not doubt his own attitudes

    In my opinion, this is the height of stupidity. Look at any field of science to see how ideas have changed over time. Something was considered true, undeniable, and then one discovery overturned the entire system of knowledge and past beliefs turned into dense delusions in one day. In addition, rigid thinking, when a person does not know how to be flexible and take into account new knowledge, is a direct path to Alzheimer's. This is what modern research says. But who knows, maybe they will change their minds...

    Reasons for human stupidity

    Stupidity is an exclusively human quality associated with the ability to think, develop spiritually and intellectually. What do you call stupid people who live very superficially, satisfying only their physiological needs? They are called naive because their knowledge base about the world around them and its properties, events, is scanty - this is their personal choice. To avoid stupidity and ignorance, you need to realize your unique gift - to be inquisitive, interested in life, and develop your intellect.
