I have known many mentally retarded people and not one of them try to "act" smart. There are degrees of retardation and many can understand derision directed at them, at that time someone may become defensive and say things that you may interpret trying to "act" smart. Those that have experienced a lot of negative treatment may develop a "public persona" in an effort to fly under the radar of abusers. And, believe it or not, many retarded people are also quite smart, they will sometimes amaze you what they figure out and how they perceive things.

What might people who were not as smart as others or who were weaker than others try to do?

People who may feel they are not as smart or strong as others may try to compensate by working harder, seeking help from others, or focusing on developing different strengths or skills. It's important for them to remember that everyone has their own unique talents and abilities, and that success is not solely defined by intelligence or physical strength.


Why do people act cool?

Well, everyone wants to be perceived as cool in some way. What that means varies from person to person. Some people try to wear the most fashionable clothes or have the coolest devices so that others will perceive them as being, well, cool. The coolest people are usually the people who don't even try but just are naturally stylish and interesting.

What should you do if people are scared of you?

I have people that are afraid of me too... I like being alone and i wear dark clothing, that freaks alot of people out, but there is always someone out there like you, if you want to be less scary, talk to people, not that many people are rude enough to walk away, they might get to know the real you, and like you! You never know without trying.AnswerTry smiling at people first then give money lol. AnswerMany people are frightened by anything that is different. Most often that reaction occurs in the uneducated, the naive or the retarded. AnswerI wear a lot of black and am Miss Cynical/Sarcastic/Blunt, and yet people are not scared of me. (I have the exact opposite problem from you. I want them all to leave me alone) My advice would just be to be friendly and talk to people, like Morpheus said. And you'd be shocked at how much a simple smile will make people think of you as friendly and sweet.Answer:Just act normal I guess. I can't imagine why people are scared of you. Smile and make jokes. People are afraid of the unknown so make yourself known and make sure your body language says apporachable. Don't cross your arms, glare (pretty obvious that one is), or...Lurk! Hahha. Answer:be flatterd! like Blair says on gossip girl "you cant make people love you, but you can make them afraid of you". it means that they are intimidated by you. but try and show that you are actually human by smiling, being nice and having fun. if get to rude knok them out ko lolAnswer:Because people are retarded with their "comfort zones" since most do not realized that they and their friends were once strangers to each other before. Its not really your fault, its just this crappy Y generation (can't say much about Z generation since they're mostly still kids)
