Being a human is hard. There are so many physiological, psychological, social and cultural things that are in play all the time, there's bound to be hiccups every once in a while, if not more often.

And it's even more so a problem when a very complicated you have to pass on your worldly knowledge and skill on to your kids so that they won't make the same mistakes. But they're as complicated as everyone else!

And the vicious cycle keeps on perpetuating itself because of this, leading some to wonder about it. And much of today's wondering is done on Reddit, among other places, where, incidentally, we have one user asking folks what’s a sign that somebody wasn’t raised right?

Bored Panda collected the top answers to the now-viral thread, and has glued together the macaroni-art piece you can see below. So, upvote, comment, and discuss these and other signs someone wasn't raised right in the comment section below!

My wife brought her friend over for lunch, I made pierogies, she goes "that's not a meal, that's a side" and goes to get Quiznos. Blew me away.

Someone's hospitality is the deepest respect they can show you. You have to give it back. How conscientious you are of that scenario is a good sign on how you were raised

I've learned over the years that as much as the people I care about love their pets, it's wrong for me to assume they even want another pet after having to put one down. I've had to put 3 pets down in the past 15 years sooner than I had hoped due to undiagnosed medical issues. I now have an almost 14 year old beagle mix girl (Ziggy). When she goes, I will likely be unconsolable and if anyone tells me (that doesn't understand the bond between a pet and owner) to "just get another one", I will likely remove said person from my life. I don't even know if I would WANT another pet after Ziggy goes, and my husband may not want another one either. It's just simply insensitive and uncalled for to a grieving pet parent.

A pet is a member of the family, and unless you've either got zero emotions or zero empathy for animals (in which case, you shouldn't have a pet, or be around animals), then it's a devastating loss. Sometimes, having another pet can help heal the hurt; However, it's completely up to the individual whether or not they do so. I feel your pain with the premature loss of pets; you keep wondering what more you could have done. I hope your sweet doggo lives a lot longer by your side, healthy.

It is a sad several months to get out of the depression of your pet's loss however another loving pet helps you get out of it. I lost my dog and stumbled along untill Christmas and suddenly the loss was too much and I just needed another cudly warmth to go through the day and adopted the first puppy available. It needed not be a puppy just something alive in the room. Maybe your friends meant this kind of thing. To tell the truth I kept comparing the puppy with my deceased dog and it took me time to feel the same level of love for her. But now I am able to remember my lost dog with warm feelings instead of tears.

I tend to get new pets rather quickly after loss too. To me though, I understand that I'm not replacing them, I just have a lot of love to still give. Some people feel like they're being disloyal and they just need more time. So, I would never tell anyone to "just get another one" like they could be swapped. I'm glad you've bonded with your pupper now and can remember the happy times with your good boi, too.

We are on currently cats #5 and #6, adopted together in December 2021. Over the years, as each of our previous furry family members have gotten older, ill, and eventually passed, we’ve grieved those losses heavily. Last December, when the 4th fellow died, something shifted for us and though we grieved the loss, we also saw it as an opportunity to give yet another rescue cat a home, so we adopted fairly quickly this time. This time it was younger cats, one with a significant trauma history and one who is more happy-go-lucky and has helped a lot with stabilizing the trauma history cat. We’re getting older, so I don’t know if these are our last cats, but it’s been a wonderful journey living with and getting to know all these individuals. Each death is so difficult, but it balances out when we get to give a home to someone new who needs it.

my past ex "husband" kept all his female parts when he me and "our donor" {since my lil guys be stupids} tried for kids or they did it ... it turned out he had problems, and we have had at least...7 miscarriages, after the 5th one.... he just sat down and started playing a game and I asked if he was ok, he said yeah he just had a another misscarage but it will be a while till he can go get cleaned and everything so might as well hang out on a game with me, ..... it was the saddest thing, we had been through it so much that.... he just had no emotion to losing it, yeah it was sad but at that point it was like... a pet.... "just need to try again/Get a new one" I'm glad we did it cause we now have a lovely lil son that's now 7, So its not Insensitive just to go " oh need a new pet cause the other died" it might have happened so much, them losing someone in there life so much that it just give no emotion to it

When I was younger my sweet little hedgehog died and I was heartbroken. Because my brother had allergies we couldn't have things like cats and dogs so he was my extra special little friend. When I went with my boyfriend to his house it was obvious I had been crying buckets that day and when he told his mom she says right to my face. "Well it's not like it was a dog or something!" Honestly I never liked her from that moment on and never tried to be close to her over the 9 years I was with her son.

As someone who tends to want to quickly fill the hole when a pet has died, I can understand the sentiment. So, it's more a case of HOW you express it (to others in the situation) rather than THAT you express it.

This has nothing at sll to do with upbringing. There are actually 3 sides to this whole thing. The non-pet person doesn't understand the attachment or need for greiving. Secong is the person that needs to greive before potentially getting another. Lastly are people that try to get over it by filling the void. There technically is a 4th group who get another pet before to avoid having the void.

He just said “Get another?” HE JUST SAID “GET ANOTHER!?!” Excuse me, no matter how many you get, they’ll never be like your past fur-babies, and you have a right to mourn! Getting a new one may fill the empty dog, or cat bed, but it can’t replace the sad little depression that has been pressed into ones mind. No not heart, the heart pumps blood. And I am terribly sorry for your loss, and I’m terribly sorry that your friend said what he said! >:(

This one usually doesn't go alone. Such people are also narcissistic and emotionally abusive, extracting validation from humiliating and belittling others. They know everything, they give unsolicited lessons and advice, the world revolves around them. If you lost somebody for example, your grief is nothing as compared to what they had suffered in a similar situation. If you're planning to do something, they've already done it ahead of you. If you wish to visit a place, they've already been there before you. I had such a "friend". Avoid them like plague.

Folks Online Think People Who Weren’t Raised Right Show Clear Signs Of It With These 30 Behaviors I'm gonna answer this literally.

As a teacher, I see there's a lot of different values that go into parenting styles, some that aren't my values but still raise a productive, responsible, and successful child. But there is evidence of bad parenting from a child development point-of-view.

-Is extra clingy and implies or outright states your their sole custodian for their well-being.

-Is incredibly aggressive about getting their way or being correct all the time.

-Responds to slights or inconveniences violently.

-Is extremely withdrawn and doesn't care for self.

-On the flip side, is very self-sufficient from a very young age and also has anxiety and/or depression.

-Seeks attention constantly. Not just a lot, but *constantly.*

Obviously, the child abuse signs are indicators of not being raise right, and only apply here to actual children, but it never hurts to remind people of them:

-Has suspicious bruising/injuries on body where it's not normal to have injuries (ex. bruised forehead and skinned knees are normal on toddlers, black eyes are not)

-Carefully covers parts of the body that would not normally be covered (Ex. Won't roll up sleeves even a little on hot days which, bonus, is also a sign of self-harm)

-Is inappropriately sexual and/or knowledgable about sexuality for age group

-Is weirdly afraid to be alone with another person. Not just, I dont want to go home because my dad's gonna give me a whuppin for starting a fight at school, but something like finding a lot of excuses to not hang out with an older cousin ever

-Is often dirty, stinky, soiled

-Is often underfed

-Tells you they are being abused

I took this way too seriously, but there you go!

EDIT: People are commenting with personal situations that involve the warning signs of child abuse I mentioned, but aren't child abuse in their case. This is what makes it so hard to detect. Kids are always bruised, stinky, and secretive. What's important is to keep an open mind, and sort of observe a pattern of signs and behaviors. If alarm bells go off, our first impulse is to explain it away, but making an anonymous tip is not as harmful as people believe. In my experience, nothing is even investigated until the reports pile up unless you physically witness the abuse.

EDIT 2: Just to be clear, the first list just means the parents or household should be better to optimally encourage the wellness of a child. The second is of warning signs of abuse.

They don't ask about/say hi to your family members when they come over. I've seen people completely ghost my parents as they walk through the house and I couldn't wrap my head around it honestly.

Edit: I realised that alot of people actually may be forced into this by any form of anxiety or any mental-issues/traits they have, I just want to clarify that this is not targetting those people at all, just the people that straight-out were never taught that this isn't polite or knew that and never acted on it.

On the flip side, people who invite you over to their house and never introduce you to anyone else there. I’ve been at friends’ homes before, where I’ve seen their family/roommates, have even made eye contact with them, yet the “host” never even thinks of introducing me to them. Always felt like the “host” thinks of their housemates as invisible or something. I would always try find a way to introduce myself to them anyway.

Folks Online Think People Who Weren’t Raised Right Show Clear Signs Of It With These 30 Behaviors They don’t actually listen to what you’re saying, are just trying to formulate a response.

Edit: just want to clarify what i meant. the person I’m thinking of who does this, does this as a means of not really caring about your opinion, trying to make you look inferior, and rather than listening to why you feel the way you do, they want to try and just prove you wrong. i hope that makes sense. like not being interested in having a discussion, more interest in showboating their own opinions/beliefs/experiences. i think that makes someone selfish, therefore maybe not raised right. i could be wrong.

They are only waiting for their turn to talk, not truly engaging.

When they say that they deserved being physically abused.

Folks Online Think People Who Weren’t Raised Right Show Clear Signs Of It With These 30 Behaviors We know someone that won’t get a checking account/Direct Deposit because “the banks just steal your money”, and he takes his paycheck to a check-cashing/payday loan shop instead.

We also know his mom, who is in her mid-40s and on her 3rd bankruptcy.

Edit: Not discounting the likelihood that mom destroyed his credit long ago and still would empty his account today if given the chance (which still falls in the "raised wrong" category if you ask me), but we're talking about a 20 year old guy living with mom no rent/no car/no kids that shouldn't have any substantial debts/expenses of his own to make overdraft fees an issue.

Well, if Mom is the culprit and has ruined his credit, how is his situation improved by carrying cash, or hiding it in the house—-a place where she could find it and steal it?

Every time I said something at home I was wrong, mocked, etc. It made me think I was always wrong and not smart! But after getting out of the house folks would say things like, "oh, good idea", and I was almost certain they weren't sincere. I'm 46 and I *still* have a hard time believing what I truly know is fact. I can't blurt out answers if questions are raised on a game show (husband loves them lol), for example - because I'm sure I'm wrong.
