You're most likely an intelligent person, but you could also be acting in ways that make you resemble a total blockhead. Stupidity is the absence of knowledge, reason, or intelligence.

It might very well be natural, reactive, or expected. Human stupidity is a questionable and reasonable topic to discuss.

People that are stupid will most often overestimate their capability, while smart individuals often undercut themselves. Shakespeare once said that the wise man sees himself as a fool, while the fool thinks he is wise.

When some people are confronted with an uncertain situation, they do not assess the data carefully or find relevant facts. Instead, they base their decisions on a long list of alternative ways, which frequently leads them to settle on stupid choices.

Being stupid is totally optional in the same way it is preventable, but there are various things that can make somebody look stupid. One thing that makes individuals appear stupid is when they don't think things through and they simply say the first thing that comes into their heads.

To make matters worse, they had no idea what they had just said, but they said it with all seriousness, a serious expression, and a serious tone. In all honesty, stupid people are inclined to do dumb things.

Stupid people think they are smart, but on the contrary, it makes them look significantly more stupid. In today’s Reddit post, the OP asks: What are some really subtle signs that a person is actually stupid?
