Why are stupid people way more disrespectful towards other people?

Didn't you just answer the question?

Getting past a person's flaws requires a thoughtful understanding of their situation.

Where I live, there are a lot of drugged out, homeless people. I guarantee none of them sat down one day and thought "I want to feel sick. I want to be dependent on a drug that will kill me. oh, and yeah, I'd rather live under a bridge."

Many of these people served our country honorably in the military. They're damaged by the horrors they witnessed. They're neglected by our government. They're haunted by the acts they were required to commit. They can't get the same high quality care most of us enjoy, so they self-medicate. It isn't a question of them being weak. It's a question of them being so damaged that they can't climb out of the hole we put them in.

It takes intelligence to see past that ugly superficial and realize that these broken people deserve our care and respect.

Thank you for the MHO.

One person's stupid is another persons' clever. Stupidity therefore can be seen in many ways, either by action or by lack of reason.

What do I mean? I for example like to play the fool. I'm happy making fun of myself for other people's enjoyment. Some may see that as stupid behaviour, some may go as far to say I WAS stupid, yet I mean no disrespect to others!

I on the other hand like to watch how people interact with other people. For me, 'stupid' isn't always what people say, but defined by what they do, or how they live their lives.

That said, there are some perceived stereotypes people throw out into the wild, such as a lack of one's Intelligence quota being linked to how much respect they afford to others! I however do not subscribe to that notion!

[FreyaRed]

Because to say something negative or to criticize someone without using invectives and personal insults demands certain level of verbal intelligence. As addition the less intelligent people are the more impulsive when they don't get the content of a discussion.

I am admittedly quite stupid, but I am not disrespectful towards everyone.
Only towards those who ruffle my feathers.

[KezHarris]

Me too… I meant people who are disrespectful for no reason or just for the sake of it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Because people are haters and have no respect for anyone or themselves.

[Skinhead-1979]

One of the reasons why people can get angry is when they are no longer able to counter the information being used to reinforce or disapprove a point in an argument or discussion.

Stupid people = Dumb people fall into this trap faster simply because they do not possess enough knowledge, intelligence, to participate in a serious conversation.

I revel in it if I shut someone down with facts and that person becomes hostile and personal towards me; I know I have won the argument then. I politely thank them for their time, wish them all the best and take my leave.

[Skinhead-1979]

Disapprove = Disproof*

[ohsheeT]

Because that's how they were brought up so they think that's normal and instead of thinking before they say something or doing something they just do it or not even wondering if they were right in or wrong for doing what they did.. . . Where when you hear something or you do something and you read that person's eyes or their expression or their body language you wonder about it you think about it to find out if you might have done something wrong or they don't because they think it's just normal that's who they are and their selfish they're only thinking of themselves it's really kind of sad

[normalice]

Stupidity and disrespect share a common cause. Narcissism. A hyper-focus on one's own needs and wants is Narcissism and it tends to result in a lot of internal dialog, free of anchors to reality. The only real reckoning is with access to food but civilization more or less takes care of that for everyone. This mental isolation results in a whole alternate reality with its own facts and structures for validation. How this leads to stupidity is obvious but how it leads to disrespect is slightly more complicated: those structures of validation are not confirmed by others so the narcissist will naturally think it's other people who are stupid and so not deserving of respect.

[es20490446e]

Because they learn their behaviors from TV series.

[KezHarris]

Hahaha! 🤣

[es20490446e]

[KezHarris]

Omg hahaha

[ChiTown33]

If they are stupid the probably never took the time to learn "tact".

[KezHarris]

That’s a good point!!

[Drewtate]

Too stupid to have manners and maybe have a complex about their lack of intelligence

[MoroccanPrincess]

Because others are probably way more intelligent then them so they lash out at others because they are stupid lol they hate themselves

[OfMiceandMen]

Because they aren't so bright and it doesn't don on them they are being disrespectful.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't say stupid maybe perhaps they are on the spectrum and their parents neglected them to get tested by a specialist. Sadly people do not take mental health seriously if they did we wouldn't had this issue.

[KezHarris]

I’m on the spectrum..

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe because you had parents who were responsible abd knew better to get you tested when you were a child thankfully they caught your disability on time. That's to therapy it's no wonder you managed to function like a normal human being.

[KezHarris]

I was diagnosed at 16 but was bullied severely into being more normal

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Because they do not care what the other person does or says to them, therefore they do the same thing, not care.

[jshm2]

Because they are trying to be overgeneralizing buffoons like you, I suppose.

[KezHarris]

Based off your other opinions you’re always looking for a fight, so I’m not going to bother listening to this opinion.

[ProbablyClueless]

They know they don't know what they're talking about. So they compensate by trying to yell people down.

[itsannalee]

Some people who think people are more stupid than them mostly also part of them.

[Radiate143]

The answer is in the question. They lack intelligence.

[Friendlybro79]

Your answer lies within your question. It's the third word.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Because they lack that social intelligence.

[MysticDevice]

Because those who know the least know the loudest.

[NathanDavis]

because they're stoopid...

[jackieistired]

They have no laws in their head

[WhitneySnow]

I guess they don’t understand social cues?

[FunkyMonkee]

They're too stupid to know any better?

[Pete671]

Because they are stupid?

[jahaims]

Because they are stupid...

[Jay-_-]

Because they are "stupid people" for a reason 😂

[clampfan101]

Because they’re stupid? lol

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Ignorance bleeds contempt

[MrGSpotHer]

They lack the ability to learn

[RedInnocent69]

Because they’re stupid.

[noohair]
