Why does everyone think I'm stupid?

Question

Everyone thinks I'm "stupid" and ditsy. My friends always make fun of me and tell me I should dye my hair blonde. I'll laugh but deep down it really hurts me. I don't feel like I'm stupid, people just tell me the way I come off I just sound stupid and oblivious. I don't do it on purpose. How do I convince everyone I'm not dumb?

Answer 1

girl the same things happen to me. i dont think anyones really serious when they say that because i realized that the people saying it to me werent just because they are my friends and they will joke around and say that im dumb. yeah it actually hurts sometimes but just tell them be like " okay im not dumb so stop getting on me about it" maybe theyll back off. i dont have anyone tell me that im dumb after i said that except when theyre joking which they are anytime they say it

Answer 2

my advice? do what i did.

google some really random facts that no one ever heard of. like beethoven would stick his head under water before composing.

or... you could read this article.

hope it helps! :)

Answer 3

Everyone thought the same thing about me because I had long hair, black clothes and listened (and listen) to heavy metal.  People perceived I was on drugs because of it.   Usually when I sat done to actually talk to them, it went away.  

Answer 4

tell them it hurts and they will stop ...............it is easy to admit ur feelings rather than trying to convince them tht u r smart and if u believe tht u r not dumb than it should nto matter wat people think
