Ill chat gpt that for you.

Overcompensation: They may use complex vocabulary unnecessarily or provide excessively detailed explanations in an effort to prove their intelligence.

Defensiveness: When corrected or questioned, they might react strongly, get defensive, or become upset, often perceiving it as a personal attack on their intelligence.

Constantly Comparing Themselves to Others: They may frequently compare their achievements and abilities to those of others, focusing on demonstrating their intellect or worrying that they don't measure up.

Avoidance of Intellectual Challenges: Someone insecure about their intelligence might avoid situations where they have to demonstrate their knowledge or skills, for fear of being exposed as less knowledgeable.

Seeking Validation: They might frequently seek reassurance from others about their ideas or decisions, needing constant affirmation of their intelligence.

Hesitance to Express Opinions: Insecure individuals may be reluctant to share their thoughts or contribute to discussions, especially on topics they are not completely familiar with, due to fear of being wrong.Impostor Syndrome: They might feel like a fraud, as if they don’t truly belong in their academic or professional setting despite evident success and qualifications.

i notice that people of low intelligence can never shut the fukk up about anything

they always have to be talking about something. and its usually something they dont know a damn thing about, but expect you to be as stupid as them and believe whatever they say.

another thing to watch for is to just see how they act when you're talking. its obvious they're waiting for your lips to stop moving so they can get a word in

cant stand people like that
