About people calling me stupid.

Post Reply New Topic

I'm am so beyond sick of this kind of thing. I spent years with a boss who felt compelled to tell me I was a "f*cking idiot" and a "f*cking moron" if a made a mistake, or if mistakenly believed I had made a mistake. My last boss asked me once if I was "ret*d". F*ck that noise . . .

I dont like being called stupid either because I work really hard on what I do.

I only call people stupid when they truly are because they ignore what I write, twist what I am saying, not listening to me, and they are up on their high horses about something and expect you to be god. Plus making an assumption and jumping to a conclusion and then choosing to stick with their original thought after I try and correct them by being more clear by telling them what I meant. To be more clear, I rarely call people stupid. I only call people in general stupid. I know when you call someone stupid to their faces, they just shut down and stop listening and won't even bother trying to understand. So I know that won't really help our argument and not make them understand and make them finally listen. It doesn't matter if they are truly stupid. It's not going to break down the brick wall, the name calling will just put armor on it.

I also suspect people call you stupid when they get pissed off as if they think it will hurt your feelings. I also get a kick out of it when I see people call someone stupid, especially to me, but yet they are the ones who are not the other person nor me. I have only been called stupid online as an adult. I was called stupid as a child by my peers. I was called stupid a few times in my teens. I can't remember being called stupid as an adult in real life. I am sure people have thought of me as dumb but online they will just be more honest by insulting you. People tend to say what they really mean online than they do in real life. Instead people will talk about others behind their backs saying what they really mean. Of course that be them saying how stupid a person is.


I also hate making mistakes and hate it when I do stupid things. But I tell myself everyone is stupid sometimes so I feel better and move on and block out the feelings.
