Is it normal to get incredibly frustrated by stupid people?

They seem to be everywhere. This isn't me being sarcastic and cruel, I'm losing my mind! I feel like I am going to do something terrible to myself. They're on TV, on the internet, in my classes, at my work place, driving around, walking around, working at my local shop, on the radio... I can't take it anymore.

I do not feel superior, this is not an ego trip, I feel worn out. I am emotionally drained and depressed by these people. I get horrible headaches when I'm around them and I almost always have to take strong painkillers before I go out to avoid this.

Why can't I ignore them? What's wrong with me?

    Stop. Giving. A. Shit.

    It's really just that simple... but it's also an art form.

    I think the reason [eople are so stupid these days is because wev`e abandoned Darwin`s law of survival of the fittest, & encouraged the unfit to breed, which is why the average IQ is has been falling for the past 2 or 3 generations. The way the human race is going, we`ll be a race of total idiots in 50 years time.

    There's positivity in everyone lol Just gotta take it in strides. Stupid can be funny. It can even be cute. Just try to look on the bright side. Sometimes the dumbassery can receive no other reaction but to shake your head. But there are certainly times when you can see it for what it is, and just laugh it off :) Like when you dog is running down the hallway, trys to stop suddenly and slides into the wall ~w~ Or someone walks into a glass door. Or that girl who didn't know the answer to "If your going 60 MPH, and you drive 60 miles, how long does it take to get there." Famous for how stupidly funny that was :D

    I used to feel that way more often, and sometimes I still get frustrated with total idiots, but most of the time I have a more sanguine attitude toward those who are just ordinary flavors of dumb.

    Over time, I've learned to appreciate people's other qualities. I'm quite smart, but I'm not very nice; that dim-witted neighbor of mine hasn't read a book in a dozen years, but she's kind and thoughtful in ways I wish I could be. When you start looking for the good in people instead of seeing their shortcomings, you no longer see them as "them" and just start seeing everyone as different kinds of "us." I'm not talking about Westboro Baptist levels of malignant stupidity, of course, just the ordinary folks who don't use their heads for much more than keeping their ears apart.

    On the other hand, when someone says aliens built the pyramids or the Earth is 5,000 years old, I do want to shake them until their brains fall into place the right way, but that goes back to the "I'm not very nice" thing, I think.

    Well you notice them more because it bothers you. Stupid people are everywhere, yes this is true. But it's not something that will ever change so you need to try and ignore them or stop caring about them. Stupid people gonna be stupid, best to just accept that and move on. But I do understand stupid people can be very frustrating at times. Sometimes it's pretty hard to ignore them.
