Life isn’t always sunny days and crisp mornings. There are bleak moments that give us all a reality check about the existence of the positives and negatives, the good and the bad. 

This is why online groups like Awful Everything exist. The page bio states that it “views all things that are just genuinely awful,” and you will see it as you scroll through. It features unfortunate events and shames people who commit despicable acts. 

We’ve picked out some images that stood out. Just a heads up, this list may make you shake your head in disbelief and disappointment.

We often see messages encouraging happiness and positivity while blocking out negative things. According to life and careers coach Helen Dillon, this mindset isn’t beneficial. As she tells Healthline, it hinders us from critically analyzing our current situation. 

“Positivity is a good mindset to have, but embracing the negative moments in our lives is what keeps us real,” she said.

As psychotherapist Gillian Fagan points out, negativity is also innate in humans. It is called a negativity bias, where we naturally expect the worst to come. 

Fagan states that catastrophizing is rooted in our instinct for survival, and focusing too much on the positive may magnify feelings of failure when things don’t go our way.

Unpleasantries are a part of life, and it’s all about embracing their presence. Motivation Science Professor Dr. Bobby Hoffman notes that people who are more inclined to accept the negativity around them have better mental health. It all comes down to emotional regulation. 

In an article for Psychology Today, Dr. Hoffman defines this as the conscious alteration of the appraisal and assessment of the emotion, which, in effect, neutralizes the negative consequences.

So, what is the shortest path to emotional regulation? Dr. Hoffman suggests restructuring our feelings and responses via simple acts of positive self-talk. It’s also about accepting that bad things happen to everyone, regardless of their personality and the existence of bad karma. 

“Repeatedly accepting one's negative thoughts and emotions, rather than judging them, may allow individuals to repeatedly experience less negative emotion,” he wrote.

First question we should ask ourselves: what do I believe, second question: why do I believe it. There is too much misinformation being passed around that we have to be cynical if sources are not cited.

Wtf does the proximity to the asylum centre have to do with anything? No doubt this story is 100% true though, seeing how rigorous and committed to neutral facts the DM is.

I always have my metal nail file with me, I have long natural nails so use it very often, it is made with quite a sharp point at the end and is legal for me to carry. The fact I know I could blind or end an attackers life with it is beside the point, my nails & safety come first.

Sounds like here in Australia - pepper spray is illegal. But a handbag-sized can of aerosol deodorant (or WD-40) isn't. Just saying.

I was advised by a police officer that while pepper spray is illegal (UK) a small can of old fashioned hairspray is not, aim for the eyes.

I've many issues with my country - also when it comes to people's attitude toward rape - but at the very least we're allowed to wear and use pepper spray. I bought one when I was working night shifts and do my best to replace it after expiration date, even though nowadays I rarely go out in night or to secluded places.

I read about two cases of young girls using peberspray in Danmark and none of them seem to have been charged. Danmark has very strict weapons laws and as peberspray is classified as a weapon and therefore illegal. I don't know why they bother buying illegal peberspray when an Axe deodorant would have done the trick.

Ohhhh, how "subtle" they brought in the asylum centre without any indication that any party was related to it. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the absolute Human garbage that is everyone who works for the Daily Mail. As we use to say: I wouldn't p**s on them if they were on fire.

Pepper spray is a weapon. It's not a condiment. It's only purpose is to harm people. In some countries it is illegal to carry a weapon. There are however some very useful alternatives if you need to repel an attacker

For a period of time, I had thought about how great it would be if tasers were legal in my state. Pepper spray is legal here. Concealed carry permits are a pain to try to get and - honestly - I'm not trying to kill anyone, either. I always thought a taser would be preferable to pepper spray in a self defense situation (as an blowback from a breeze would be detrimental to any hope of quick escape)... but then I had to think about the fact that if I'm allowed to have it, then so are the bad guys... and I also don't want to be zapped out of nowhere and dragged off. So, instead, I just walk two bigger dogs and carry a legal 3" blade😏

So... carrying illegal weapons is illegal? Who knew. Yes she should be able to walk safely. But if I am caught with a sawed off shotgun, that is illegal to possess whether or not I say a mugger was around. It's two separate crimes. That said, I don't know what if any legal options a woman in Denmark has. In my state I could legally open carry (or concealed carry with permit) a gun, but having a pair of brass knuckles would be illegal. I'm guessing most would be muggers would prefer to be punched than shot, but that's the laws here.
