Forgive me, but I can be stupid...

Being stupid I think is fine. But being pig headed about being stupid, as if being stupid is a sign of superior race, is not fine. At times I am stupid, and at times I am pigheaded as well. When I am stupid, I realize afterwards that I was stupid. When I am pigheaded about being stupid, I realize UPFRONT that I have been stupid, but well...horns are locked...me not going to back out... I think the word pigheaded is wrong...it should be bullheaded. Or perhaps Antler headed. Whatever...at times I am stupid, and at times I am stupid stupid. Good news is at all other times, I am quite normal.

As long as you're aware of being stupid, it's okay. I think of it as brain exercise, you could accept you were stupid and move on, but nope, you gotta argue your stupidity is fair and legit.

It happens that we do or say something stupid and then regret it

Yeah it does...if we regret, it is pretty ok. It is when we know we are stupid, but let our ego get in our way ...then it is a different thing.

I am not a perfect person. But I know I can do stupidity in life. Thus, I realized that I am still human.

I am normal because I am not extra ordinarily intelligent, knowledgeable, or patient person. So stupidity is part of me.

Wait, stupid can't be right. Perhaps stubborn and bull headed but by realizing it and admitting it means you're not stupid. As for normal, what the heck is normal?

I think when we realize it after we do something stupid, it is the real stupid thing. But when we know we are or were wrong and continue to claim it to be right...now that is deliberate stupidity born out of ego. First one is understandable..second one...sigh.

People realize they are stupid after they do something stupid. Pig headed people know they are standing up for something stupid. First category ..I forgive because well, it was unintentional. Second one is more difficult to let go. I am at the wrong end in the second category also. LOL. Kind of I am not good person always. But it happens.

@vandana7 It happens that I realize I did a stupid thing, but I am not at all stubborn and obstinate. When I realize I am doing something wrong, I admit that I am wrong.

Usually real stupidity which can be regretted is when we realize afterwards but there are times people know upfront that they are being silly, and don't want to acknowledge it. I too have my moments.

I wonder where the term "pigheaded" came from. There's also "stubborn as an ox" and "stubborn as a mule."
