“just say no I want to tell someone instead of coming up with excuses,” one user shared. Another said, “Excuse me so they can discuss why you have to do what they ask.”

“In the United States, we talk about salaries and wages. People who make fun of your income are not worth your time, and sharing your income makes more money for everyone involved.” one person shared.
“It’s not just the United States. We’re Europeans and it’s written in our contract that we’re not allowed to talk about it.” A person is protected by law and is allowed.
3. The Dunning Kruger Effect
“The Dunning Kruger effect,” someone said. “Expert opinion combined with social media gave rise to the concept that the opinion of an untrained person is equivalent to the knowledge of an expert because they are still just as vocal. .”
Another respondent said, “Additionally, I see experts in a subject trying to act like experts in areas outside of their area of expertise. We believe them without scrutiny and this is problematic.”

“Menstruation. In most countries it’s taboo to even talk about it,” one user replied.
“Completely! That’s what happens to half of humanity every month! (and half of all mammals) Sorry my discomfort is making you uncomfortable,” added another.

“Opinions change when presented with new information. People known to have had different views in the past are called that.” Hypocrite by their detractors. ”
“That’s not what hypocrisy is. at the same time In one case I support something and in another I oppose it, depending on how it benefits me to be a hypocrite. But will that stop them? No,” one user explained.

8. Euthanasia
Someone voted “Euthanasia.” I don’t understand why the super elderly and sick people have to be left for the last time. It’s far more heartbreaking to keep them alive just for that. ”
“This is very tragic, especially for people with severe Alzheimer’s disease,” replied another.
“When we see a dog in pain, we think it is cruel to keep it alive and let it suffer, and when we put it to sleep, it quietly falls asleep. We also provide treatment to keep the person alive as long as possible and to keep them alive even though they are suffering.We treat dogs more than humans,” commented a third person.

“We are either too closed or too emotional,” one man commented. Another woman said, “She said, ‘It’s okay to open up and talk to me about your feelings.'” Me: “Okay, open up. Here’s where I struggle. Her: “Stop dumping trauma. Women are not your therapists.”
“Trying to teach mental health at home is insanely difficult!! I have 3 boys (ages 14, 7 and 6) and everyone around me says the opposite. Sometimes it’s hard to try to teach them how to deal with big emotions, but big emotions can be good if you manage them properly.”
10. Respect for people’s work
“Respect people in ‘dirty’ or ‘low’ jobs,” one shared. “I was a janitor and worked in a school for many years. Teachers who were kind/respectful to us often got comments from colleagues asking why they did that. , when we do simple things to help us like picking up trash when we are sorely lacking, picking up all the trash, etc. Large trash falls off the floor every day. ”
