Definition of a moron
People think of someone as a “moron” if they think they are stupid, don’t know what they’re doing, or aren’t knowledgeable about a certain topic. “Moron” is a derogatory term that is used to describe people who are lacking in common sense.
- Don’t let it affect you: Keep in mind that when someone calls you a moron, it says more about them than it does about you. It does not have to do with your skills and intelligence.
- Remain Calm: Avoid getting stressed or let your feelings get the best of you. Inhale, exhale, and reply gently.
- Ignore what they say: Sometimes, one of the best responses is never to respond at all. Just ignore these little issues and go on with your life
- Address the problem: If someone insulted you in a professional or intellectual setting, you might want to deal with the issue directly. Just talk to the person who insulted you and let them know how their words made you feel.
- Pay attention to your strengths: Lastly, don’t let that insult get to you. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. You might excel in some areas and struggle in others. Just make sure to really rock your strengths!
Don’t let being called a moron be an attack that defines who you are. The most important thing is that you treat everyone with fairness, kindness, and respect at all times. Always remember that what you do to other people will come back to you.
