Most people who are assholes are just really, really stupid

[New Poster]

They just have no social awareness and thus live in their own world. They’re not actually choosing to be dicks. They just don’t understand what’s happening around them. As soon as you call them out, they’re legitimately shocked. I think we romanticize assholes and psychopaths and think they’re stronger or more resistant to social pressure. They’re not. They just don’t recognize that they’re being an asshole. Some neuron in their brain isn’t firing and so they have no idea what they’re doing. It’s really just a disability.

Some have a reason to be angry others pour it as cope to which something happened to them

 

[Darkeningstar]

Yes, but primary psychopaths are more resilient to that

I agree. The faggots and lesbian dykes are the biggest fucking assholes in our nations today. And those asshole Muslims in Gaza must end.

That’s the illusion I’m talking about itt. People think assholes get ahead. They don’t. People imagine themselves without the shackles of social anxiety, but that’s not what these people are. They’re just socially clueless and make tons of stupid blunders. I remember having a psycho roommate who acted like this and just alienated everyone. She legit had no idea how rude she was being and turned everyone off. It’s Hollywood bullshit to think that psychopathy or assholishness is a leg up. It’s usually a disability.

Maybe. It just doesn’t get you very far in life.

That seems like poor social skills. Like I can and have come off as a rude asshole too due to poor social awareness (well lowkey, I just have poor self restraint I always know it’s stupid).

Asshole is more like, cocky bastard who does what he likes and knows it people find him funny and cool

There's a positive correlation between high iq and cooperative personality traits.

Real research is noted in the link it's not a fluff piece.

If you do what you like and don’t care, people will generally dislike you. You need chad looks or social status to make up for it.

That just leads to acting like a cuck. Which is worse than being an asshole

I’m talking about self-destructive antisocial shit — not normal standing up for yourself
