The thing about us extroverts is that we think out loud. We actually learn much more quickly and efficiently through getting interactive feedback as opposed to reading it somewhere, because reading is much less stimulating for us. I certainly am guilty of blurting out things that are just plain wrong. It gets my self-esteem down but then I do so well on tests and people tell me I'm smart so there's obviously a disconnect between isolated instances of what I say and my actual intellectual capacity, whatever that is. I try to filter myself and think before I speak but it's exhausting to restrain myself like that and I end up learning much less in the end than I would otherwise. I wish people could just understand this part of me and judge me not by what I say, but as a whole person.
what you said is very important. I am very introverted but I think many people are intolerant in the matter introvert-extrovert, just like many extroverts think introverts are socially inept when they actually
want to be alone and introverts think extroverts are dumb for talking too much.
that's very annoying. Let's be tolerant guys. Many people like to think out loud, some like to think before speaking, so what? We shouldn't expect people that are thinking out loud to be saying correct things all the time, they haven't come to a conclusion yet.
about dumb people, well, anyone can be dumb. Some show, others don't - doesn't mean they aren't
