Some things are difficult to hear or admit even if they’re true. That you’re not meant for some people like some people aren’t meant for you, for instance, or that sometimes love just isn’t enough. These are just a couple examples of pills that are hard to swallow, but people on Reddit showed that there can be plenty more, covering nearly every aspect of life.

The online community discussed the topic in a thread started on the ‘Ask Reddit’ subreddit. They opened up about what they consider the hardest metaphorical pill they’ve ever had to swallow and provided heart-wrenching and thought-provoking answers. Scroll down to find them on the list below.

Bored Panda has reached out to the redditor who started the thread, u/Liteboyy, and they were kind enough to answer a few of our questions. Scroll down to find their thoughts below.

Your spouse does not exist to provide you with free therapy, laundry, food, cleaning, and sex. You have to respect someone's boundaries even if you don't benefit from them. You have to be able to look after yourself and pull your own weight. You should be able to help them and pull extra weight if they're struggling. If you are looking for someone to serve you or complete you, you are not ready for a relationship and you should not be in one.

50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow Sometimes your friends don't consider themselves as close to you as you do to them. The hard pill: This doesn't make them a bad friend, it just means that everyone has their own social network and you can't always be at the center of everyone's.

The OP told Bored Panda that some things are best heard from someone you don’t even know. “I asked this question because I needed to hear something that I did not want to hear. Having a complete stranger say something you’ve been thinking or feeling emphasizes and confirms to you if you’re justified or not in how you feel. That’s because they have no bias, they aren’t even directing something specifically at you, which makes the advice or anecdote all the better.”

I like a physicist's explanation. The universe does not create more nor lose any of the energy it contains. All energy changes into a different type of energy - either chemical, electrical, radiant, mechanical, thermal or nuclear. So if we are our bodies - the energy of our cells and our organs - then we never really leave the universe when we die. We merely change into another type of energy. We are born of the energy of the universe, and at the end, we return to that energy in a different form.

NIV Ecclesiastes 3:18-21: I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” All of Ecclesiastes has this vibe. The teacher who talks in this book is said to be Solomon, because the teacher is David’s son, or at least someone who has taken on Solomon’s persona. Solomon was the wisest king, because he asked God for wisdom, yet he still found life meaningless. Hevel. A man can toil under the sun, but what does he get? He becomes old, and must pass his work and gainings to a son who might not even appreciate the hard work his father went through for it

“The responses I received were interesting and thoughtful,” the redditor told Bored Panda. “A plethora of people engaging and encouraging each other, swapping stories and sharing experiences, was very comforting and nice to see.”

According to them, sharing stories can benefit people in numerous ways. “For example, people may experience something they feel is normal, but without the anecdotes of others and the added opinions of commenters, they would not discover 'x' is actually bad, or traumatic, etc.,” they said.

50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow Don't throw good money after bad. Don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Just because you've invested a lot of time, money, effort, emotion into something or someone, doesn't mean that you should continue investing in them hoping that things will change. Sometimes its better to cut your losses and accept that while you may have wasted time and energy on something, that it's better to stop hemmoraging resources when it's clear that you aren't getting the outcome you want. It's still better to have wasted two years on something that didn't work out than wasting ten years on it because you figure you've invested too much to quit.

50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow No one wants to talk to a depressed person and depression actively makes you less desirable company to others.

That one hurts a lot, as someone who suffers constantly, I think I've often romanticized the idea that if people see that you're not doing well, then maybe they'll take the time to try and talk to you or brighten your day a bit. That's not how it works though, they just don't want to know. And it's hard to blame them because it's obviously not their problem.

That's a particularly hard pill to swallow for me. The world doesn't give a s**t, it will move on without you.

As an attempted suicide survivor I have to disagree to a point. Being healthier now (mentally) talking with others about their own mental illness and opening up about my past is one of the one things that's helped so many others. Sometimes realizing you're not the "only one" or "not crazy" can be the most uplifting thing when depressed. I'm not saying everyone wants to talk about it but you'd be surprised how many people find comfort when they are able to open up with someone in a safe nonjudgmental environment

I thinks "looks" play a big part in it. Like if a guy is handsome enough and makes a sexist joke people find it funny. If an attractive woman went batshit crazy on someone, she's probably having a rough day. Anyone else would be shamed and judged through eternity.

I grew up religious, and feared sin and temptation. Anything that could be construed as sin, I would avoid at all costs. It took me forever to realize that temptations are healthy, and often point you towards something you need. It's taking the temptation too far that is wrong, not the temptation itself. Like, being hungry is ok, but overeating is bad. It's ok to be attracted to people, but objectifying them is bad. Those kinds of things.

That’s when everyone tells me God is… there’s a hole in us all, and they say that God helps mend/fill it. Sorry for talking about this so much. when I get thinking, I ponder this stuff deeply too. It’s part of my identity

50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow The people you love can die, just like that. Suicide, accidents, whatever. And the reasons you’re missing them are, oftentimes, quite selfish. If they [unalived] themselves, then having them back here, right now, would probably just make them miserable.

Very true. I'm alive because my mom is the one person on earth that cares that I'm still on earth, I can't ever tell her how much I suffer so that she won't suffer from getting that phone call.

No matter how much anyone likes you or loves you, they have their own life to live and you have your own life to live. No one else is really going to help you or fix things for you. You are on your own and always will be.

I disagree. I was fortunate enough to have wonderful parents who were always ready and willing to help me until they died, and I will do the same for my child.

Yep. I'm at the point where I want even argue anymore. Being right isn't worth the energy for someone that doesn't care either way.

50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow That all good things come to an end at some point. Just got out of a rough spot because of that. Things are really starting to go good, and I really don't want it to end, but one day it will. Hopefully that day is a long ways away.

Who is walking around thinking their parents are perfect? And who thinks they have the power to change them? Hell I've seen people walk through their parent's door and instantly go from being 45 to 15 regressing to children.

Sometimes it’s genetics, and it doesn’t matter how you try to counterbalance it. It sucks and, most likely, not your fault.

Also it’s damned expensive
