This should be tied at #1 with critical thinking. Maybe add compassion.

This and empathy should be tied for 1st.

Schools could do this instead of cramming students' heads with facts.

As an English teacher, I tried to emphasize this with my students. Sadly, many of my adult acquaintances seem to have not learned the skill.

And also when to speak up.

Which means more than waiting for your turn to talk!

OMFG, yeeeeesssss!!!!!!!! Have you ever seen those horror beach shots after some festival or whatever?!?! Disgusting!!!!!!!!

This is empathy 101. The ability to step into someone else’s shoes and see a situation from their eyes. An ability slowly being lost in the world of me, me, me.

Something the world needs more of!!

Yes, books have feelings too.

Patience is the most difficult virtue to learn, because you need it in order to learn it.

But not with a little smiley face on a post-it. That doesn't come across as sincere.

Some people, especially those with an excess of testosterone and between the ages of 14 and 25, just have to do stupid risky things.

Write down your emotions. When you're finished, either tear up the paper, or safely burn it. It's a technique that a lot of therapists use.

This would avoid so many war and conflicts

Tell me about it! I've seen people who are supposed to be refined and civilized but have table manners that would gag an orc.

I can do the alone part. But I do have to have a piano in the room.

I've come to realize most things are inconveniences and not problems. Now when I start to get annoyed, I pause and ask myself if its an inconvenience or a problem. Not having a charged phone is an inconvenience. Its a problem if I need it to report an emergency or be notified of one. I define a problem as something that will be remembered or affected 6+ months later. For everything else will probably be forgotten within minutes or hours and isn't worth getting upset over

Leaving people when that's the best thing to do.

So many posts on Redit would be solved in five minutes if people act like adults and just ask questions, mostly "Why did you say/did X?" I had a gf who tought me this (by example) to ask before escalating, when I said or did something stupid. 95% of the times it was misscomunication or concepts about life.

This is for you MAGA folks, just 'cause I disagree does not mean I have no right to an opinion. You will find we agree on most things, it's the details that need addressing...civilly.

Especially being civil to those who you do not like/don't like you.

I haven't driven for about 25 years cause traffic is insane, never got my license, and still now what the written and psychological test answers are. Can't tell how many people i've seen that shouldn't be behind a 2 ton bullet.

This needs to be taught in school.
