This is the kind of comment that the other dude was talking about. “I’m so smart I wish I was dumber” that’s cringe af. Use some of that intelligence to put a bit more empathy in your replies. Communication is about two people.
Even if it were true, telling someone you’re so smart you wish you were dumber says so many things that harm your ability to communicate clearly:
- it’s likely I’m smarter than you
- if you don’t agree with me it’s probably because you don’t understand. This is also supported by your statement that you’re happy people will see your downvoted comments
- It hints that you’re probably not willing to engage with other people’s ideas because you might feel they’re beneath you
- because you don’t see this discussion as being between peers (see the first point) you’re likely to be patronising
Even if you are so smart, and so right about these topics, the way you communicate actively impairs your message. If you read your messages through the eyes of a slightly insecure audience you’ll be able to fix these issues. Empathetic communication means you can say a lot of the same things and have people be receptive to your message instead of put off by your demeanor.
