From the comical mishap of walking straight into a seemingly invisible glass door to the downright perplexing experience of momentarily forgetting the very word 'door' when attempting to recount the incident to a friend, it's an undeniable truth that each of us encounters moments of sheer human fallibility.
Whether it's a dumb fail that leaves us chuckling at our own expense or a brief lapse in memory that momentarily stumps us, these occurrences remind us of our shared humanity and keep us grounded in the unpredictability of everyday life. For better or worse, nowadays, all these mishaps are all over dumb posts on the internet, and all these blunders are documented for years to come.
So to make peace with our collective dullness of mind, we at Bored Panda have an ongoing series where we share pictures of the dumbest things ever said on the internet by people. (In case you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out here and here and catch up.)
We hope this latest collection of dumb social media posts reassures you that nobody's perfect and allows you to look at your failures with a little less embarrassment. Or, at the very least, it provides you with an opportunity to distract yourself and forget about it!

We All Fail Sometimes, and Here's How to Deal With It Like a Pro
Psychotherapist Amy Morin, LCSW, who is the Editor-in-Chief of Verywell Mind and the author of the bestselling book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, believes that failure is something we all endure and it's important to know that there are things we can do to feel better about it.
First off, embrace your emotions. Morin highlighted that failure is often accompanied by a variety of emotions, including embarrassment, anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame, just to name a few. Those feelings are uncomfortable, and many people will do anything they can to escape the discomfort they cause but according to research, allowing yourself to feel bad is actually motivating. It can help you work harder to find better solutions so that you'll improve next time, even if we’re talking about the dumbest things ever said on the internet—they can also make you feel very underwhelmed.

If anything, it'll make the child aware that being gay is a thing- or a thing that is accepted by more and more people. For me, I was aware trans people existed, even had a trans nephew (who my parents constantly deadname/refer to him as "her", "grandaughter", etc), but it wasn't until I read a book with a transmasc mc (Felix Ever After) that I fully realized "huh, weird. I kinda related to him on a deep level. but I'm not... psssh. I'm not trans! I'm a girl!" *cut to that night in bed* "Well, f**k. I am a boy. WELP"

Jokes aside. I'm going to teach kids lessons that the state says up until the point they ask me to teach about gay/straight/trans. It's not my place. It's the parents place. When a student ask questions along those lines, I tell them that's a job for their parents/grandparents/caregivers. Because my job is to teach math, reading, writing, science, and social studies based on community helpers, goods and services, and rules.

Why do the lgb community care so much about forcing everyone to watch or read about them having sex. We are not saying that they can't write and read those books or create and watch those movies for themselves. They are completely free to do so. We are merely not wanting them forced on us or our children, we have a right to choice and consent too you know.

Dude what the hell is wrong with being queer? You don't have to like it but it doesn't affect you. The basis for homophobia is fearing that it might affect you, and the only way it would is if you in fact are queer.

Minimizing the Discomfort Won’t Make It Go Away Completely
Next up, we should make an effort to recognize our unhealthy attempts to reduce pain. "You might be tempted to say, 'I didn't actually want that job anyway,' but minimizing your pain won't make it go away," Morin said.
"Distracting yourself or filling the void you feel with food, drugs, or alcohol won't heal your pain either. Those things will only provide you with some temporary relief."

I guess the Pope should take catechism classes from Ashley, as she knows so much about Catholicism.
Building Healthy Coping Skills is Vital
After that, we can start focusing on healthy coping skills instead. "Calling a friend, practicing deep breathing, taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain," the psychotherapist explained. We’d also add that looking up something fun, like the shortcomings of the dumb people on the internet, might also cheer you up.
"Not every coping skill works for everyone, however, so it's important to find what does for you."

It’s one thing to lack knowledge, be naive or ignorant. These are merely obstacles. However, needing some warped sense of validation by correcting people you know nothing about, or even worse, mansplaining simply because they’re a woman, is a character flaw at best, a personality disorder most likely.

People Can Be Really Stupid Sometimes
A 2016 review published in Clinical Psychology Review that looked at 46 studies examining reactions to failure found that a "more positive attributional style" was a strong factor in how resilient people were to the emotional distress caused by failure.
In other words, they saw failure as a result of something specific and external rather than something internal.

Unpopular Opinion: We Should Make Crime Illegal
"When you find yourself thinking that you're a hopeless cause or that there’s no use in trying again, reframe your thoughts," Morin suggested.
"Remind yourself of more realistic thoughts about failure such as: a) failure is a sign that I'm challenging myself to do something difficult; b) I can handle failure; c) I can learn from my failures."

However, you will probably need to repeat a phrase or affirmation more than once in order to ward off negative thoughts or to reinforce to yourself that you can bounce back. But you will bounce back! Even the people from these dumb social media posts did, and that accounts to something.

If you've spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally catches you off-guard. However, facing your fears can really improve your quality of life. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone, and over time, you'll learn that messing up isn't as bad as you thought!
Just take a look at the dumbest things ever said on the internet documented on this list—to some, they might seem like failures, but at most, they’re happy little accidents that, in the end, make us laugh heartily.
