"What Fact Are You Just Tired Of Explaining To People?": 40 Things These People Wish Others Would Finally Understand I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I cannot just decide to not be anxious about stuff. I take medication because I can’t stop. Telling me to just “not worry about it” and “mind over matter” is not going to work. This is a medical issue I am actively being treated for. If I could just choose to stop I would.

Telling me “it’s all in your head” is also useless; of course it’s in my head. It’s a brain problem. Where else is it going to be.

Someone asked me why I WASN'T opposed to gay marriage because in their minds it diminished my het marriage. I just asked 'how so?' and watched then struggle. This is so silly. A modern relationship is about two people deciding to spend life together because it's easier than being alone and hopefully because they love each other, but in my mind that's optional. Marriage means taking responsibility for the well being of your spouse and making a commitment to each other to care for each other and help each other out. That's it. Another couple marrying has no impact whatsoever on my marriage and vice versa. Marriage is only between those married to each other

Many of our problems, whether at work or in relationships, stem back to communication issues. In fact, this Preply survey showed that Americans are becoming less effective communicators, and respondents say that being interrupted is the biggest communication problem of all.

Other communication problems that drive Americans crazy are being talked over (19%) and having to repeat themselves (18%). So why do people get so miserably frustrated when they are asked to repeat themselves? Well, apparently, it has to do with implying that the listener wasn’t paying attention to what they’re saying and as a result, that makes the speaker feel underappreciated and like they're wasting their time.

Repeating yourself is far from the only annoying thing people experience while communicating. Many people are also guilty of giving unsolicited advice, guidance or information that wasn't asked for. Not only is it considered disrespectful and presumptuous to insert your opinions and ideas when they may not be wanted. It can also communicate a sort of superiority, since it assumes the advice-giver knows what's right or best for the listener.

Bored Panda reached out to Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist and author of multiple books, including "Be A Great Manager Now", "The Leader's Guide to Mindfulness," and "The Leader's Guide to Resilience” who said that the one and only person we have a right to manage is our own self.

Being an introvert doesn’t mean I’m shy. It means having a social battery which gets run down and sometimes becomes empty if I don’t have enough peaceful alone time to recharge it.

My job is peopley enough but at least I’m paid to be there. I actively avoid crowds on my time off.

What’s worse, if you offer advice, Dr. Tang argues, the person takes it and it all goes wrong, they may blame you. “Or if you offer advice and they don't take it and it still all goes wrong, they may feel they cannot come to you.”

“Sometimes the best thing you can do is be a friend and wait to pick up the pieces,” Dr. Tang argues. In fact, Dr. Tang reminds us that this also applies to explaining truths you are tired of repeating: “You cannot save people from themselves.” Dr. Tang added that if you are trying to do so, then it’s fair to ask yourself “what are you avoiding looking at in YOUR OWN life?”

While communicating with people, it often happens that people ask for advice, but that doesn’t mean they want to hear the truth. Dr. Tang explained that in these instances, they actually just want validation.

“And sometimes I feel the most empowering thing to do is to ask - what do you want me to say - do you actually want my advice or someone to agree with you?” Dr. Tang said. She argues that this will save you time in giving advice to someone who doesn't actually want it.

Dr. Tang concluded that ultimately, every person needs to make their decisions on their own. We can try to prove them wrong or repeat ourselves indefinitely, but at some point, all our effort becomes nothing more than just a waste of time.

Still there's sadly a growing crowd that treats science like religion and get really angry if you dispute anything that's 'scientifically proven' even when the last study is from the 70s and newer knowledge makes it very likely it might be obsolete and needs retesting or there was already an attempt to recreate the study that failed. One study can't 'prove' anything. It takes at least several studies to show if something is valid or not. One study with 30 participants is not statistically relevant and cannot make predictions for the whole world.

Maintaining a safe following distance is the easiest thing to do to avoid accidents and yet most people aren’t doing it. It’s basically impossible to react in time to avoid an accident if you’re following less than two seconds behind someone. It doesn’t get you where you’re going faster. The accident will always be your fault. And finally, two seconds is way longer than most people think, most will count one second.

Child bearing women also had very high mortality. But yes, living 60-80 years was not at all unusual as far back as roman times. Of course infections, violence and disease were very real killers so it was also common for people to die much earlier in life. People frequently had multiple spouses because they were widowed more than once. The big false narrative is that the regular life span was 30ish and that was considered old and that is just not true at all. There are a lot of ways to die which have been more or less erradicated in the modern world but anyone who avoided those things had about the same lifespan as we do today.

To put it as simply as possible, if you have type 1 diabetes, you have a broken pancreas. Your pancreas is what makes the bodies insulin and when it doesn't or makes very little then you need insulin injections. You can't actually break your pancreas or become type 1 randomly out of nowhere; you're born with a pancreas that can't make or make enough insulin or have another condition that can contributeto it. Sometimes it can affect you a little later because it was making some insulin but just not enough and sometimes you can develop some type of autoimmune disease/disorder that affects your pancreas and in turn can severely affect its ability to produce insulin. Either way, type 1 is all about that pancreas and nothing you can do to prevent it

There IS an genetic disposition. While obesity certainly can be a risk factor, the disposition to diabetes can run in the family. Also, even seemingly "acquired" diabetes is not always defined by life choices.

Poison is not the same thing as venom. People call snakes poisonous when really they mean to say venomous. Venom has to be injected into the bloodstream (like a snake bite). Poison has to be ingested to enter your bloodstream. You could drink rattlesnake venom and your stomach acids would kill it, but if you put that same rattlesnake venom on an open wound or injected it for whatever reason- that’s gonna be a problem

The trouble is that people keep confusing gluten allergy, trend gluten-free eating and celiacic disease. If you skip gluten because you have read in a magazine that it is bad for you, that's a personal lifestyle choice. If you are really allergic (most people are not); then avoiding it is the smart thing to do. But if you have celiacic disease, it actually gives you serious health troubles, so eating "normal" bread is not even an option.

An explanation for those who aren't sure: naturally, hair on your limbs grows tapered, meaning that the ends are thinner than the roots, making it seem finer/more sparse. If you cut off those tapered ends, the hair continues to grow at the thickness of its root, with a blunt, often scratchy end, making it appear thicker, darker.

Wheelchairs aren't cheap, and "cheap" wheelchairs are not suitable for everyone, not suitable for hardly anyone in fact. It's not a choice of a £30k wheelchair or a £300 wheelchair, it's a choice between sitting in a chair that fits the needs of the user that enables them to be active in their life, or sitting in an unsupportive seat on wheels that physically harms the person until they're out of it again.

I explained it that way: it's like the faucet and the water. The WiFi is the faucet, the internet is the water. Just because the water is off, doesn't mean the faucet vanishes. The WiFi network is generated by the router in your home. As long as the router works, there's always WiFi. But the water, aka the internet comes to it through the line in the wall, and if there's a disruption, you'll have no internet connection, because the water ran out even though the faucet aka the WiFi net is still there.

Evolution is not specific to living things either, even though that is often the intended context. Designs also tend to evolve over time, as new information is available, so the 'next generation' of a product offers features or corrects issues learned from the 'previous generation' of product. Computer CPUs, as an example, have evolved dramatically over the past 40 years. Many companies refer to their products by generation, even.

And for the love of ice cream, don’t say “You can always try again.” Yeah, we can and did. We still notice the ones that are missing.

I'll add that people also confuse an opinion with dogmatic belief. Flat Earth isn't an opinion, it's dogmatic belief. It is a held belief in something for which there is ZERO evidence. This is also the case with believing that Jesus is a god, or that there is a heaven, or that American cheese tastes good. I don't have a problem with what dogma you choose to believe, and which you don't, but they don't even really count as opinions.

There is actually a right and a wrong way to coil a cable or power cord. I am a theatre and events technician and cable management is a big part of my job. Most people are never taught how to properly treat a cable (you should never wrap it around your arm).
