"Stupidity" makes me so angry and it ruins my day

Vent / Rant

I’ve been dealing with this for as long as I can remember, but it got way worse once I started spending more time online. I don’t like saying “stupid people" because i try not to look down on others. What really makes me angry is illogical thinking or arguments that just don’t make sense or dont don’t actually hold any weight.

I know I'm taking these things way too personally, and I always have, but it's impossible for me not to. When someone says something that makes no sense to me, I feel weirdly offended, like it’s directed at me somehow, even though it probably isn’t. I don’t like reacting this way and I know it’s not healthy, but I don’t really understand where it comes from or how to control it.

I’m posting here because I want to understand why this triggers me so strongly and how to manage the anger better. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? What helped you?
