I always got pissed off when I heard someone blabing loudly about something they are obviously clueless about. I geuss I dont care for stupid people or those who talk too much but the combination is just intolerable for me. I remember overhearing a women talking to a friend about how she wanted to go get antibiotics for her cold:A viral infection! I litterally wanted to smack her over the head. As a microbiology guy not only is this stupid but overuse of antibiotics creates mutant bacteria the is very hard to cure!
I can think of several more examples but I'd rather not bore you with them. I just can't stand hearing stupid people talk!

I can't stand stupid extroverts either. Especially when they ask me if I'm okay. As if they can actually help me.

What about smart extroverts?

Or stupid introverts?

Many smart extroverts cam also be annoying but there have always been some that I've found interesting.
I actually feel sorry for stupid introverts. They often seem so vulnerable.

It's not so much the extrovertedness that annoys me, more the stupidity. I work with some smart extroverts and, as you said Al725, they can sometimes end up saying stuff that is interesting. Unfortunately, I tend to find that those who have most closed minds have the most opened mouths, and this is very frustrating. Ignorance and stupidity are terribly contagious and I do find the lack of ability of other people to think about what they are saying before they blurt it out to others in a manner to gain attention most intolerable.

I just hate stupid people in general, introvert or extrovert. Though going around trying to sound intelligent a la Fred Phelps or whoever just makes the hatred I have that much worse.

1) That's one of the reasons of why I don't trust patients.

2) Linking extraversion to stupidity is absurd.

3)Here's another stupid conversation: "Vaccines don't work in all cases. They are completely useless!".

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.

yes, a smart extrovert you can just explain you are not into being social and they can leave you alone - plus at times they are great to be around

and introverts leave you alone

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

agreed. people tend to think " he/she doesn't have many friends but she/he is intelligent". What about the stupid introvert? People see it as double failure. :( they probably have low self-steem and are vulnerable to social oppression.

we have to (try to) accept people how they are. It's not their fault they are stupid.
we aspies and auties above all should know this.

I don't.
I think that stupid people are only annoying if they are stupid because they are being lazy or trying to show off about things they do not know about.
However, this is not necessarily their fault as they might have low self esteem due to being bullied.
Also, this is a generalization. I have seen quite a few of those today.
Some stupid people cannot help the fact they are stupid, they might just be wired differently.
Just like me.
We also have a weird perception of smart but that is another topic.

this. If they are stupid because they were born with a not so bright brain or they didn't have opportunities for a good education or they are wired differently etc they deserve our understanding and respect not anger. Plus I have doubts on what we call smart too.

I would recommend that people watch this as it is very good and wise.
Ignore the fact that the main characters are white (they are mute), this is simply unavoidable in the majority of our society.

It helps with intolerance.

We aspies and auties are born with a different brain, we behave in ways that may annoy other people, it's not our fault we are who we are and we expect others to accept us. And then stupid people may have been born with a different brain than yours, behave in ways that annoy you, it's not their fault they are who they are, and yet we ourselves don't accept it.
