Do you ever feel like an idiot?

Post Reply New Topic

I know I do. And I have a big mouth. Whenever I realize this it tends to discourage me even more from trying to socialize with people.

I want to socialize with people and make friends yet at the same time I hate always having my foot in my mouth.

Maybe I am just an idiot and I'm sorry if I offend people by saying stupid things all the time or making stupid topics.

Everybody feels like idiot some of the time.

Even those omniscient and all powerful beings: the NTs, can feel like idiots from time to time.

You’ve said pretty “normal” things.

I don’t see any “idiocy” in you.

All the time, I am just smart enough to know just how dumb I am. I admire a brilliant mind.

I think you should stick around TW1ZTY. It's okay to express yourself and be yourself. Lots of people here can relate to not feeling like they belong. You belong here.

Yes. A certain situation is making me feel quite overwhelmed.

Ignorance is not a measure of intelligence, it's a measure of knowledge and it can be cured. Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone is ignorant of something.

happens from time to time. everybody makes mistakes. exept those, who just do nothing. last time was, when i got duped, by a law consulting firm that would have posed as a governmental installation and then ask for money. i didnt pay them, no, but i wasted time to get there, and that was very embarassing. and frustrating. and i felt like an idiot, ya.

TW1ZTY for some reason really excellent newcomers like yourself start doubting themselves.

If you never feel like an idiot, chances are you actually are one.

hey, that is rude. but true, ya. self-doubt is a function of intellect xD then again, someone just might be both intellectual and THAT composed to not feel compromised in any situation) not my case xd

Ok so I'm not a true idiot I'm just very uneducated and that can feel just as bad.

I wish I could have been more like my sister and seek out knowledge growing up. Maybe I should get back into reading and spending time at the library.

I honestly don't trust the internet as a good source of information because it feels like most of the information I look up is always wrong. Especially anything on a wiki page.

well as an information addict, cant relate that. but wiki isnt allways bad. at least they have links)))) wont do to skive an exam, but for very superficial get-to-know-about-that-stuff-for-a-smalltalk it works. and then u get to get to read better stuff) and well, if u feel lacking information, starting there is a good idea. u can verify and deepen it later. also, one person cant know everything. even if they do it for breakfast, dinner and supper. so well, get to know what feels fun. as much as feels fun. and when u encounter a terra incognita, its a perfect opportunity to widen ur horizon. ask, and shalt u be answered) people LOVE talking about what they like, so... xD
