The people comparing the corona related social restrictions to being Jewish during WW2 deserve to spend a week in a recreation of Auschwitz. I cannot fathom the lack of empathy one must have to be able to speak the words "This is what the Jewish went through during the German occupation!" and feel justified.

The nonsense that is coming from people with no knowledge base or expertise to be able to do any kind of research is astounding.

There are some things that if we disagree. I will hate you. Unapologetically. Racists, biggots, those who think people who are exactly like them are the only ones that matter. Those who vote as such. This isn't a simple disagreement. This is a fundamental difference in values. If your values come with a body count, or destroy lives, I'm not going to throw up my hands and say 'oh well guess we'll agree to disagree, lets be friends'. This goes for those who passively accept the evil, or those who actively support these aholes.

Hard to get through the day with thinking of all the family I lost during the first lockdown

Ironically going to get downvoted for this, but the comment culture on BoredPanda is getting more toxic. I've seen some pretty heinous comments lately with dozens of upvotes. Like telling someone to kill themself, or that they deserve to be harmed or abused over their demographic (sex, race, diet, etc), or that they shouldn't be allowed to speak because of said demographic. I don't care what your disagreement is, that's not cool. And there has been a surge in comments (and upvotes) justifying animal cruelty, too, and downvoting people for correcting misinformation. A lot of the threads have become a very disturbing place. One of the recent posts had two comments that were the same - one, from a person who often gets heavily upvoted, had dozens of upvotes and replies of praise. The other, from a person who often gets heavily downvoted, had two dozen downvotes and replies of insults and told to die. It doesn't even make sense - is it a clique mentality?

I'm newer to reddit and I haven't seen this as much, but literally just saw a post on another app I look at where a little girls science experiment was she had three plants. Each plant had tiny speakers at their bases that played a loop of her voice, one saying negative mean things and one saying nice sweet things, oh and third no speakers, sorry that was the control plant. Mean things loop didn't even grow. Control plant medium growth and nice loop plant grew the most. Same seeds, same care otherwise. Words are powerful, written or spoken.

I’m not yet 40 but so f*****g sick and tired of a society where everyone seems to be offended by everything. It’s pathetic. We’re going to be so PC in due course, the safest course of action will be no interaction.

One thing making it hard is that more people have a voice now, so smaller groups who always felt offended are taking their chance to say "x was always a hurtful word and it's time to change!"

I don't know what people have been saying to you, but for any visible sign of something wrong, people will be curious, and it's probably with good intention. It's not their business and you don't owe them an audience, but even strangers will care about you. I've always been silent to a stranger or casual friend when I've noticed them, but I also didn't feel like that's the best thing I could do. I'm glad to hear you're clean and moving forward now!

This is something that still irritates me from a month ago, a girl in my homeroom asked another girl what ocd was she replied with “its a disease where you have to make sure everything is clean.” Not only does the fact she is spreading misinformation get to me but also ocd is not a disease its a disorder, second ocd is different for everybody. I do not have ocd but I see how much it affects people, everybody who is struggling with ocd is very strong.

I am sick & tired of people who think that they have ocd & that it makes them special. No. No no no no. OCD sucks. For example, if I don’t make a certain sound that I think of (meow, fart sounds, etc.) I will think that someone is out to get me for the rest of the day. I know that it’s unreasonable to think that & do those things but I CAN’T HELP IT!!! I get a lot of weird looks when I do those things.

This! I suffer/ed from severe debilitating OCD. It got to the point where I would hold my breath for very long amounts of time and was having panic attacks nearly every day. It controls your entire life, and because its a common phrase no one really gets it. It’s scary because you know it’s unreasonable but you can’t stop.

I’ve been starting to have suicidal thoughts and that scares me. I don’t want to commit suicide, it would tear my family apart and I know me sister would be heart broken, and it really scares me that I’m having these thoughts. But then what’s the point when the world might end either in my lifetime or my kids lifetimes if I choose to have them. I feel like I’m segueing with myself here and I’m terrified that I might commit suicide some time when I’m not thinking clearly or when I’m at a particularly difficult time. I’m scared to tell my mom anything about this because I’m worried she’s either not going to take it seriously or she’s gonna make me take medication. If medication would fix it, then maybe, but I don’t want to be treated like I’m sick. But I don’t want to think of this as something that needs to be “fixed” I never talk about feelings that way feelings need to be come to terms with and reconciled, not “fixed.” I’m just thinking aloud at this point but you see my dilemma. I’m having some suicidal thoughts, I’m scared of that, and I’m scared to tell my parents, and I definitely won’t tell my siblings.

I don't get jealous, sad, feel grief upon someone's passing (to me it's a natural process), angry etc. I have nothing in common with my family so choose to not be a part of their shallow "oh what the neighbors must think" kind of life. I do have my own chosen family of friends with common interests. I perform random acts of kindness, buying food for a vet, paying for gas for a single mother, helping stranded motorists etc because those are the only times i feel what must be a normal person's "happy"... But i prefer to do it anonymously.

I really want talking about periods to be normal. And talking about them in a really nice, supportive way. It happens to half the world’s population and still we feel the need to hide the fact they happen? And also not making them seem like not a big deal. Before I got mine I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to do this, that, or that somehow I’d be different, but honestly they’re not bad. It’s not the end of the world. So normalising talking about them, yeah, I’d like that a lot, thanks.

I'm appalled with poor, rude phone mannerisms people have today. I am referring to businesses, especially.
Yes, I understand people text and email more often today. However, phone calls are still relevant and necessary today, and a bit of polite etiquette goes a long way to maintain a good rapport with clients and customers.
This is what I've witness and put up with, AT BUSINESSES:
Eating on the phone loudly and speaking with their mouth full.
Hangs up with no proper farewell, no replies to "thank you" or just a "mhmm".
Answers with "What do you want?"
Swearing.
Receptionists hanging up on people before knowing who is on the other line, or hanging up just because the caller has a wrong contact name without offering further assistance or information.
The list is long.
Even if the call is not wanted, or unexpected, they just don't know how they're rude attitude may be an impact on their business and the companies the business deals with.

Don't worry about a thing! you will have seen by now that everyone is different with how they feel and who they are attracted to. Let me give you an example. My ex-gf who is now 48 has just started a relationship with a woman for the first time. She's never been interested before but has fallen for her. she and I still get on very well and I've supported her to take time to understand being in a different kind of relationship. It's been a few weeks now and she seems totally cool with it. For me, I prefer women but can still see a guy and think he's good-looking. I just have no desire to have a boyfriend though, and that's how I am. Have a think about how you feel about her, what you would like to happen. If you could see yourself being intimate and in a relationship, then that's cool. You're just discovering something new about yourself and it takes time to get your head around.

So this happens this summer. It was a hot day out and I was hanging out with a friend for a sleepover and we decided to go to one of the local dollar trees. While we where walking there a man (over the age of 30 if I remember correctly) came up behind us and started cat calling us and asking us if we had weed or wanted any. My friend and I decided to ignore him and walk away he kept following us and at one point we split from him after a while he realized that and came back. That made us decide $/?& it let’s call the police. He got really close to us luckily we crossed the street fast but he touched my friend and continued to follow us. He moved away from us and we thought he left. We ducked into dollar tree to wait for the police. As we where talking to nice officer my friend and I noticed the man from before walking closer to us WHILE we are talking to the police. The police goes to talk to him, he gets arrested. This man is a homeless fugitive from Texas. This is terrifying to me since my friend and I aren’t even 15 yet.

Well, I’m gathering from what you posted that you’re both in high school or maybe middle school, and if that’s the case, this is probably his version of flirting because boys lag big time in social graces and their ability to use their words to convey their feelings.

The other day I was sitting outside the GSA room just chillin because I didn't feel like going in but i wanted to wait for my friends who were inside and a group of straight guys walked by and started very loudly talking about how gross it was to be gay and debating over whether it was fair that there was a group for gays but not one for just straights.
I got so mad but they looked like seniors or juniors (grades 12 and 11) and I am just a freshman (grade 9) so i didn't want to say anything and risk getting in trouble with them, I told the teacher who runs the GSA about it and she said she'd try to deal with it but she seems to be the only adult at the school who cares
And as i've gotten more open with my classmates about my sexuality/gender and stuff i have been finding more people who I thought were allies but aren't.

I know he cares for her a lot, and everyone else enjoys being around her, but I can't do it without feeling sick to my stomach and mad.

I hear so many people say “ if I go somewhere else I don’t even need to learn any of their language because everyone in the world already speaks English.” Let me just say that even though English is one of the most spoken language, only about 13% of the world can speak it, and a lot of those people to a small extent. Americans are so confident that they don’t need to learn any language, but most people from other places would try their best to learn English for us! The places that speak English really well are Scandinavian countries, Netherlands, Ireland, UK, India, and Philippines. I think many Americans assume everyone speaks English because when they travel internationally, they don’t leave the tourist area where everyone has to speak English. But in reality, we should be supporting and giving respect to the the languages of people all over.

I had to laugh at this one. "People in the UK speak English really well." Yes, it's our native tongue and Americans speak English because a large percentage originated from Britain. America does not have its own language.

I wish people would cut the homeless some slack. Most homeless people aren't mentally-ill or drug addicts, they are just people whose lives got upturned, mostly due to a job loss.
And more importantly, people have no idea how ridiculously difficult it is to get out of being homeless. Even with the help of shelters and homeless programs, it can take years to get into housing.
Also, homeless people are PEOPLE, just like you and me. Stop de-humanizing them.

Hi parents:
1. I’m queer and you can’t just tell me to ‘forget about it’. It’s a part of me. Just like how I know medicine and caring for people is my calling. Why is one celebrated and the other shamed? I find it hilarious how I’m not allowed to even think about that pride and lgbtq s**t anymore. Mind control anybody?
2. No, I’m not ok. Just because you told me to ‘be more happy’ and ‘don’t think about it’ doesn’t and didn’t miraculously cure my mental illnesses. Why is that you tell me to talk to you when I need to about mental health, and turn and say ‘no, you’re making it up. We are having none of this crap. Don’t try to trick us. You are so privileged, you can’t possibly be mentally ill.’ when I try to ask them for help. They canceled my therapy sessions by the way - because I was talking too much about gender diversity. Also, please don’t invalidate my pain. Just because you washed your family’s laundry from age 5 or that you broke a mirror and you dad slapped you doesn’t make it okay to tell me ‘we had it way worse and we turned out fine’.
3. On a more positive note: I have been completely self harm free for 3 days! It’s been a daily thing since probably when I was 5 or 6 but I finally got 3 days. It’s been hard, but I am proud of myself. If you have a similar achievement, congratulations to you. I’m really proud.

Even though acceptance is getting better in general, there is still a lot of division between people on this. It's s**t that you have to deal with the bad ones, but they really aren't people that you should give any time to. I know it's not as easy as saying that, but try to think of yourself being a better person than they are. Seriously well done on the self harm progress though. It means you want to get through it. Stay strong and keep telling yourself that you're doing great, even if it's every hour (even better to reinforce it). I hope you don't have a relapse but if you do, think of it as just being a blip. S**t happens and our mood changes, but I really hope you keep doing well.

I hate all the online ads nowadays. Any game developer can take two seconds to make some dumb rip-off of a game (ex: fallguys) and make a crappy ad for it. There are so many examples of other dumb ads, but the one I hate most is those stupid youtube ads claiming they have a 6-second trick that can save someone with diabetes. It always starts with "award-winning doctor" and proceeds to not even give a name. Just sounds like a 4th-grade writing assignment.

Crop tops. I don't mean people wearing them- that's totally okay, you do you! Personally, I'd just like to be able to find more regular length shirts in stores ;u;. I don't wear crop tops myself so it's a little disheartening to find a really cute top only to discover that it's cropped. Of course, there are simple solutions such as thrift stores, online shopping, generally looking harder in a store, etc, but I'd love it if they had also had uncropped versions of things.

How inconsistent people are with "acceptance". My opinions and beliefs are not less valuable than yours. If I'm Christian and don't support your decisions, it's okay! Support does not equate with my view of you as a human being. If I decide to have a different opinion than you, I'm not automatically a bigot. If I don't want to affiliate myself with something, I'm not racist, -phobic, etc. "Safe space" means anything, right? So please, for the love of pizza rolls and anything holy, don't shut others down for their thoughts. Before you say anything, ask yourself, 'who is being stupid?' It could be you. "Acceptance" isn't just for the majority, "progressive" ideas. Acceptance is for everyone.

Except when that acceptance would require acceptance of rejection. I think you mean tolerance. If someone is of the opinion that eg. homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to adopt, I am under no obligation to accept or respect that opinion. I can tolerate it, as I have to accept that I most likely won't be able to change their mind.

I used to stalk my now boyfriend's IG account. He was a stranger to me, and we didn't run in the same circles. I randomly came across his account and developed a huge crush on him, would go down the rabbit hole and look into his history, his exes, etc. I learned some superficial things about his hobbies. Two years or so later, to my surprise (and after my crush had lessened) I matched with him on a dating app and made my move. I never told him about my internet stalking. I feel like it's far too late in the game to do so now.

It seems that you know that what you did was unethical and that's the main thing. Telling him could end your relationship but if you are honest with yourself and tell yourself you shouldn't have been like that, it can help to clear your conscience. Alternatively, as it was 2 years ago, you could say that you think you might have seen his account and remember some things about him. That way, you can get some of it off your chest without seeming like a stalker and get closure on it. Have a think first about exactly what things you would bring up and limit it to one or two so it seems like you barely remember.

I already posted something but I have two more things to add, however they both irrelevant to the other post.
1) I have a huge crush on a youtuber who's older than me and have no idea what to do
2) I really want a moustache and a beard and had a dream where I had grown both (a curly handlebar moustache and a goatee. They were really impressive) and was forced to shave them off. I was more scared of this than my nightmares. Is this normal?

I’ve got anxiety and depression and whenever life is going ok, I constantly think that something bad is just around the corner. I keep wondering when the next bad was going to happen. I’ve been on this happy high for 4 months and the next bad thing has just happened. And it’s probably going to last for the next few months. I’m just so tired. I wish I could press a fast forward button to when everything is alright again.

To be honest, it's a really hard journey and bad things seem to knock you back when you least expect it. Part of it is due to the fact that you are expecting that to happen and it's not your fault. It's how anxiety and depression affect you. If you're not already, try to see a therapist. They can make a significant difference, but like I said, it will still be hard to shake the bad feelings off. When they come back, try to tell yourself that these things are bound to happen sometimes, but things will allso be okay for a while too. Try to focus on when you feel good and make sure that you pay attention to them so you will remember what it's like to feel better.

Earliest s*icidal thoughts I remember were when I was 6. I legit can't remember a time pre-meds where I wasn't depressed. I've made so many suicide plans (never gone through, but I've come close). I'm on my third med. First one caused suicidal thoughts (screw you Prozac) although it helped my mood. Lexapro did nothing. My new med appears to be helping a bit, not as much as Prozac did in terms of mood, and while I am not suicidal I have troubles with s*lf h*rm. I probably have about 30 open cuts/scars. If I don't get better I may not live to see 20. If I had to guess what kills me I'd say myself. I hope I get better, but I'm not sure if I will.

I'm trying hard not to turn into a total racist. I'm white and I tutor Chinese high schoolers in Australia. I know that lots of non-Asian families put pressure on their kids to perform well, but by the time I see these kids at 16-18 years old there's almost nothing left of a personality, optimism, or creativity. They're exam-drones and I absolutely hate tutoring them. I have two PhDs and almost every day I sit at work trying to explain to kids why they can't just 'formularize' an essay about literature (if they want to get top marks - and they ALL want top marks), and I hate myself and I hate them, and I hate the home culture that has done this to them. I feel like I've failed in life to have ended up doing this, because I've got medical/energy problems and I hate noise so I've basically bombed out of working in schools and there are no jobs in universities.

There is NEVER a valid reason to become racist. I've also taught Chinese students and known about the same issues, but it's not their fault or their parents. The Chinese dictatorship demands that school is like that so they won't have independent thought and therefore question what they government is doing. I despise the government but I've also seen in the students' eyes how much they wish they didn't have to live there.

What's old is new again...sucks. Vinyl sucks (it sounds better the first time you play it; after that, it sounds like crap). Rotary phones suck. Typewriters suck. I grew up with these things and lovingly embraced the technology that replaced them.
And another thing about modern technology: I was in a job interview, and the person interviewing me gave me a condescending look and asked, "Are you comfortable with computers?" Lady, I took programming classes in the 80s and saw computers sweep through the office scape. I was there for the first car phones, cellular phones, satellite phones and smart phones, and I could program a VCR/DVR/whatever else, thank you. I've been working with computers full time as a profession since 1984. Don't act like modern technology was invented by your generation--it came from mine! We aren't as mystified by technology as you may like to think.

You are crazy if you think vinyl sucks. The difference is not in the material but in analog recordings being replaced by digital recordings and quality loss due to compression of digital recordings. Listen to a favorite album on analog vinyl and then listen to the digital recording and tell me they are even remotely the same.

Changing the world is only unreachable when people who want change like you and me decide that there's nothing they can do and sit back and do nothing. Do anything you can to make the world a better place. Even if you only make a tiny fraction of the world better, you can know that you did something good. And then maybe someone else will see what you did and decide to make the world just a little bit better too.

I’m starting to hate myself. I’m angry and confused and anxious. I had depression and anxiety two years ago and I thought it was gone, it even worse now. My parents don’t listen to me. I’m midway through a conversation and something else is more important. The only time they notice me if when they’re fighting, and they try to get me to side with one of them. I’m losing friends at school, all they want is the be popular. I’m suddenly the weird kid, everyone looks at me weird when I talk to them. I don’t know my sexuality. Three years ago I think I fell in love with another girl but I keep denying what I feel.
I’m hating myself more and more. I started hurting myself, I’m having panic attacks where I’m in tears and I can’t breathe. I haven’t had suicidal thoughts but I want to suffer. I feel like I deserve it.

We tried once to do the surgery, in August, but bp was too high and had to post pone. It doesn’t feel like that big of a deal, but deep down, I feel like I’m kidding myself and and very nervous.

Overapologising is the sign of someone with serious social anxiety, especially someone who is used to being abused and raised to think they are worthless and incapable of value. Perhaps you should talk to this person and reassure them that you see them as a person and that they don't need to feel so much shame and fear that they feel the need to constantly apologise to you. Something like that can really do a lot for someone.

When I was a kid my parents got me a teddy Ruxpin I loved it until his eye fell out one night think he fell out off my bed I was gutted my mum fixer of all glued his eye back in so he resembled a stroke victim soon after that his other eye got knocked out again my mum glued it back in. His eyes would twitch and quiver like he was having a seizure and never fully closed. Creeped me right out!
