I just realize I'm not upset that people are dumb, I'm upset that they aren't.
This is inspired by recent events, but really has applied for at least my entire life. We've all had moments on social media or in life where someone said something just so plain wrong that you're just aghast at how somebody could genuinely believe that. But, really, we often don't believe it. Sometimes we arrive to obviously wrong conclusions not because we're dumb, we arrive at them because it's what we want to believe, and that makes it worse.
If people were just dumb, then fine, as long as they're doing their best there's literally nothing else you can ask from them. It's not like dumb people choose to be dumb. But being able to use your mind and just....not? That's a choice that none of us should ever make but all do. That's what we get upset about seeing from other people, it's the "willful" part of ignorance that makes it a true tragedy.

How do I not do anything wrong?
My problem is that I listen to what is being told to me, I interpreted it as such, but some how I seem to ignore an important step for a more familiar and efficient interpretation and I get yelled at for doing it all wrong.
I know all the rights and wrongs with everything but I somehow get it wrong all the time.
So I pinpointed that out of receiving that information, transcribing in my mind, and translation into action, is that gap between the last two steps where things go wrong.
It's also important to mention that it happens when I'm dealing with my emotionally abusive father so that is an important factor. I just want to get things right to avoid any instances of pain inflicted onto me
