Sometimes you look at a person, and he pushes you off with something, but it’s not clear with what exactly. He seems to be dressed well, and speaks fluently. And then you look closely and understand that this person is not far-sighted. What does it mean? Let's figure it out.
The meaning of the concept
A foolish person is a stupid and a bit naive type. One can characterize such an individual as a large child. But only the child is curious, and his interests grow with him. And for the named type, the circle of interests is very narrow, and it rarely changes.
Knowing this, it is easy to understand what the word "foolish" means. A person applying such a definition does not have the goal of showing distance, but is only trying to characterize the opponent’s mind. The range of interests, and, consequently, knowledge of this is not extensive, which means that he does not look into the distance. Here we can cite as a synonym the word "short-sighted", which, in principle, is similar in meaning to "short-sighted". But there is still a slight difference.
Signs of a nearby person
It is sometimes difficult at first sight to determine the level of human intelligence. Of course, if the person standing in front of you has no mind at all, then this will be visible, but if the person is short-sighted, it does not immediately strike the eye. What signs does such a person have?
- Limited interests. There is nothing to talk about with him. His interests are limited to new series and music hits. Although still far-sighted people like to collect and tell gossip about their friends.
- Poor vocabulary. Besides the fact that there is nothing to talk about with a person, the conversation itself causes unpleasant feelings. When an opponent uses a word through a word, and through each sentence - words-parasites, the conversation quickly wants to end.
- Addiction to alcohol or tobacco. People who live happy lives do not need any kind of doping. Of course, many can say, but what about great writers, poets and scientists? They consumed both alcohol and tobacco. But it’s one thing when you consume something consciously, and quite another when you just can’t live without another puff.
- Passion for fashion. Oddly enough, but it is worth avoiding people who are too passionate about fashion. After all, it’s one thing to dress well, and quite another to be addicted to shopping.
How is this manifested?
A short-sighted person is a stupid person with addictions. But it cannot be said that these people never succeed in life. A lot of books have been written and films made about the leaders of firms that did not differ in intelligence. Indeed, in life, luck and luck play an important role. Therefore, a rustic man can buy a lottery ticket, win money and successfully invest it at interest. But to call the life of such an individual happy is difficult. Although the concept of a good life is subjective, and everyone sees it in their own way. For a near-by person, what happiness means can be said without difficulty. This is the satisfaction of his physical needs.
Such a person does not need aesthetic and spiritual development. Therefore, if you see a person who has put his whole life to earn money and to accumulate property, you know, she is very close.
The main qualities of a near man
All our deep essence is formed in childhood. And if the parents overlooked or made a mistake, then their child can grow up close. What qualities does such a person have? It:
- Greed. A person who does not know how to share with others can rightfully be considered near-minded. If you have the opportunity to share with others and not cause a loss to yourself, then why not make your neighbor happy?
- Intemperance. A reasonable person will not show his feelings in public. Why make dirty linen from the family. But the near-by person needs drama. But how can you play it if there is no public?
- Aggression. An adequate person knows how to solve his problems in words, and without going to elevated tones. A person who does not receive normal moral standards in childhood solves his problems with his fists.
How not to look narrow-minded in the eyes of others?
To look intelligent, it’s enough not to do all of the above. However, the problem is not neglected. You need to understand that a person who has survived to 30 years is unlikely to change his lifestyle. And if he does this, then it is of his own free will, and not thanks to your advice, because usually a narrow-minded person scornfully criticizes all the criticism addressed to him.
To make it comfortable for others to communicate with you, try to become interesting first. Today, young people often hear the phrase "I'm bored." But how can it be boring with yourself? But will others have fun with those who are not interested in themselves?
In order not to put yourself and your loved ones in an uncomfortable position, try not to get hung up on things. Do not spend all your time looking for fashionable trousers or a leather sofa. Instead, read a book or entertain yourself with some kind of intellectual game.
