First of all i’d like to say the majority of long last members are much smarter than the average person. I’m sure some of you would disagree but it’s true.


Do you ever catch yourself having to dumb down everything to someone because if you don’t they won’t understand and feel really stupid?

[Pre-eminent]

I've been in situations like these countless of times. Sometimes I really have to break everything down and draw it on a piece of paper before they understand it.

I might simplify tech topics. If I am talking computers or code with someone who isn't big into tech then I will simplify it as best I can. It's all about knowing other's level of understanding on a topic.

I mean in general not like coding and stuff because I wouldn’t expect anyone to understand

Ehhh it depends on the subject I'm talking to people about. Most times I have to dumb everything down at work. Kinda my job though.

[Jesse Pinkman]

Everyone is usually knowledgeable in at least one topic. More often than not HF members are good with computers. So I agree, but I wouldn't say we're smarter than most people. Look at doctors, they say the same exact thing.

That's true if you get a doctor going I'm left in the smoke.

If somebody doesn’t know what I’m talking about I’ll dumb it down for them, I have to do that on here too sometimes.

[Ninja]

It does happen sometimes yes. I usually need to make up different wording to make it more simple for them to understand.

[SIM-403479]

Every day of my life, but that's my job.

[JoshAllen]

If you feel the need to simplify anything that is common knowledge, you have a high af ego.

[Deany]

Bruh I can't even face the pizza delivery man that's how socially retarded I am

To be quite honest, yes. I can't handle stupid people. I can't handle people that are stubborn and think their way is correct, when in fact, it's not. But they still don't want to hear out the solution.
