Each of us creates the world we live in. We choose what to include in it and we also decide what to leave out.
Interested in the latter, we dug around Reddit and found a few discussions where people have been sharing difficult-to-accept truths that they know are correct but actively try not to think about.
So we put together the most popular entries, and I gotta say, it's not the easiest list to go through, but it's definitely intriguing and thought-provoking. After all, even if we refuse to acknowledge a fact, that doesn't make it go away.
Continue scrolling to check out what things are bothering people the most and the talks we had with social science writer and researcher Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D., MPP, and professor of psychology at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, Noam Shpancer, Ph.D.

No-one wants to hear your shitty music in public, especially in class.
According to Shpancer, refusing to think about something we know is true is a form of avoidance. "It may provide short-term relief from discomfort, and can sometimes help us keep from becoming distracted, but in the long term, a habit of persistent avoidance—a refusal to face your known challenges—becomes a bigger problem than whatever issue you were avoiding in the first place," the author of The Good Psychologist told Bored Panda.
This, let's call it practice, sounds quite similar to denial, but, as Shpancer pointed out, the latter is a refusal to accept or acknowledge the truth altogether. "The benefit of denial is that it may, in the short term, buy you some time to summon and mobilize your coping resources," he explained.
"When we hear bad, surprising news, our first reaction is often 'No, it can't be,' even if we have every reason to trust the source of the bad news. This momentary denial may allow us to 'catch our breath' as it were, before delving into the hard work of coping. Relying on denial for the long term is, however, unhealthy. Such persistent refusal to acknowledge and face facts erodes interpersonal trust and communication and leads to bad decisions. If you're falling, there's no use telling yourself that you've learned how to fly."

Just because someone is related to you doesn't mean they are a good person.
Well-Dressed Wolf 2 years ago
My mother and sister are my abusers. I remember seeing a Tumblr post about how great it is to have a sibling as you’ll “always have a friend”. I almost choked laughing at the naivety.
Sherman, the author of Neither Ghost nor Machine: The Emergence and Nature of Selves, agreed, highlighting how human life is uniquely anxious compared to other organisms. "Just compare the range of worries a human could have compared to any other critter. No contest. To cope, we need denial, escapism, entertainment, but to survive we need all hands on deck in reality too," he explained to Bored Panda.
"I'm on a campaign I call 'optimal: see illusion, safe escapism or strategic gullibility', encouraging people to take their denialist flights of fancy but always with a return ticket to reality safe in your heart pocket. It's not how far out you go, but whether you remember to come back. The big difference between a death metal concert and an authoritarian political rally is what happens in the parking lot after. After the metal concert, people return to reality. After the rally, people think they've experienced something more real than reality. That's dangerous."

Voting Trump out of office won't magically fix everything. He is a symptom of a bigger disease here in the USA.
Well-Dressed Wolf 2 years ago
Yeah, but it sure made me FEEL better to help vote him out of office!
One study of 2,000 adults across the United States, which was commissioned by global tour operator G Adventures, suggests that the average American spends 12 hours and 56 minutes escaping their reality each week. (That's roughly four years over a lifetime.)
The most popular forms of disconnecting from work, responsibilities, and everything else that drives them crazy came in the form of reading books (1 hour 34 minutes), watching movies (2 hours 37 minutes), and dreaming of vacations (44 minutes).
However, as previously mentioned, this can't go on forever and we need to come to terms with the world around us. Jeremy Sherman thinks people can make it easier for themselves by focusing on what he calls ironic fallibilism.
"An ironic situation is one where you get the opposite of what you expected: you do the right thing and it comes out wrong or vice versa. An ironic attitude is recognition that despite your best effort, ironic situations are not entirely escapable. There is no sure-fire formula for living. Just when you discover the meaning of life, it changes."
"Ironism is not cynicism. It's the recognition that life is deeply tragic and deeply slapstick. Life is tragicomic," he explained.

We need to stop consuming animal products the way we currently are. It's absolutely unsustainable.
The amount of downvotes this post will receive proves the title of this post.
Ripley 2 years ago
The key part of this is "the way we currently are", and this is very true. You don't have to be a vegan to not participate in the cruelty of intensive factory farming. It is possible to eat genuinely ethically raised animal products where the animal had a happy life - it's just really expensive. Killing is not inherently cruel - subjecting an animal to pain and terror before it's killed is.
E. Hamilton 2 years ago
Human ethics and animals; always a concerning combination of words and usually a red flag for me. Let's not combine facts with the ebb and flow of cultural and societal norms. The fact is however the animal protein is produced is irrelevant; over consumption is the issue. The over consumption fuels so many solvable problems we are facing today; whether it be the environment or general health of the population. People appear very quick to look at the "supply" portion of issue, point fingers and take sides; while the demand is almost always overlooked.

So when I harvest a deer and eat the meat this beautiful animal provided. It's 100% organic ( more than organic food) was free range, was not processed in a plant, went to no waste, did not go to pharmaceutical testing and impacted only the animal itself and my family and friends. Is this ok? Or is this really pushing on everyone else something around vegetarian and vegan? I know Bored Panda supports a variety of views. So...

Honestly, we rarely eat red meat in my home and the pork/chicken that we do eat isn't a lot. We try to have lots of fresh fruit, veggies, and stuff like hummus and flatbreads around to snack on. I'll still indulge in an occasional cheeseburger from time to time but it's a big hit to my energy and digestive system to do so.

If there weren't farmers that love their animals and that take excellent care of the nature and animals, the Alps in Austria or any surrounding country wouldn't be as beautiful. People from the city only want beautiful landscape and no animals. The people complaining about cow dung or cow bells, or bees or goats, just drive me crazy. Or those stupid people taking down a fence - it is there for a reason. Or those crazy ones going hiking on an "Alm" mistreating the animals and then they sue the farmer because the cow "attacked" them when it was only defending itself or her baby.

Thing is, heavily processed "meat substitutes" made out of soy or wheat are possibly even worse for the environment - it takes a lot of land and a lot of processing (meaning pollution and factories) to make them. Meat can be made humanely - if you've got back yard chickens, you've got way less impact on the environment than if you are Beyond Meat or whatever the trendy thing is these days.
Adam Jeff 2 years ago
Hardly a fair comparison - if you're taking as example the 0.1% of meat-eaters who raise their own meat, why not compare to a vegan that grows their own veggies? The soy burger is obviously worse than eating something from your backyard - but it's much better than the average beefburger, which comes from a factory farm whose cows have eaten far more soy than would have gone into the soy burger.

I don't necessarily agree with the post. But I can understand it's pov. It's just about finding more sustainable ways of producing meat products. People had to do the same with the fish industry. A way to maintain what is needed but not so much it over uses the land to the point of destruction. It also takes a lot of resources to raise cattle for any reason.

Veganism won't truly help the larger issue. Cow farts are not necessarily the main problem. The larger issue is large-scale industrial mono-cropping and poisoning the land with herbicidal sprays like Grazon. What is sustainable is locally sourced permaculture efforts that balance out the broad spectrum of herbicidal poisons and the massive carbon footprint of internationally shipped produce and foods. Industrial monocropping creates food deserts for essential pollinators, the poisons they spray on industrial produce like Grazon poisons the soil, pollinators, us, and is even now showing up and killing compost and bagged soils (here's looking at you, Kellog's) that is affecting the plant growth (especially the nightshades tomatoes/peppers) of home gardeners and homesteads that are trying to create a better environment with locally sourced organic permaculture.

This is actually a fallacy and there is waaaay too much to unpack. There are faults in the industry but it is completely sustainable. As it is there is far too much wasted meat world wide and the focus should be better husbandry and better distribution.

Is consuming plant products in the same quantity somehow absolutely sustainable? WITHOUT destroying thousands of acres of ecosystems to create farmlands? I’m not saying either is better, but that such an extreme view is facetious and spurious.
Chloé-Louis Beaugrand 2 years ago
We still have to use crops to feed the animals we eat. Si if we use the acres we are using to feed what we will eat, there will be no need to destroy any more land because to get a ton of beef, we have to feed cows with 10 tons of plants.
Load More Replies..."Fallibilism is a concept in philosophy and more than any other notion, fallibilism has given me peace of mind about dealing with reality," Sherman continued. "I think of the fallibilist mantra as 'no matter how confident I am in a bet, I remain still more confident that it is a bet. Life is iffy guesswork. Yoda is wrong. There's only try. One can make better bets. One can bet with high confidence. One can't escape betting."
Sherman sees ironic fallibilism as the antidote to two unworkable approaches that are often combined:
The first one is fundamentalist hypocrisy, or pretending you have the formula for living though you don't, can't, and shouldn't live by it. And the second one is cynical hypocrisy, or pretending there's no formula so you can do whatever you want.
"[Jerks] (I'm a psychoproctologist) employ both. Everyone should live by their supposed fundamentalist formula that they cynically don't think they have to live by. No deed is too dirty for saints like them."

Just because you've been doing something longer than other people doesn't mean you're better at it (driving, job role, sports etc)
Professor Noam Shpancer added that we should revise our expectation that life should be easy, and the attendant aversion to discomfort. "Hardship is not the end of the world," he said. "It is just the world. The default position for human beings is resilience. Normalizing the struggle is useful."
"Second, accepting reality tends to be easier when we take a long-term perspective, because the danger and damage associated with a failure to face reality are usually obscured in the short run and clarify only in the long run. When making decisions, it is, therefore, useful to consider not only your present self but the well-being of your future self as well. When you fail to deal with the facts of your circumstance, you in effect sell out your future self."
#7
"You can achieve anything you put your mind to" is NOT true.
Not even close.
Genetics play a HUGE role in whether or not someone will be a good athlete, or a super successful scientist.
Can you be an "OK" athlete if you try really hard and practice really hard? Sure. Will you break world records or play for a professional team? No. You have to be especially gifted in the genetics department to do those sorts of things.
The same thing applies for mental pursuits. Not everyone is smart. Some people just don't... get it. You can try a million different ways of teaching a subject and some people just... won't... get it. Critical thinking (the ability to see a problem and visualize how to get a solution) comes MUCH MORE EASILY to some people than to others. Can you sit there and memorize things and get good grades and what not? Absolutely. Will you ever be a scientist who does extremely important research and solves the world's next huge problem? Probably not, unless you get hired because of nepotism are dragged along by someone who IS good at critical thinking.
Furthermore, much of what you CAN do is limited by who you know. If you're rich or your parents are rich and they know lots of people and have a large social network or a lot of people who want to please them for one reason or another, you'll likely find a job in whatever career you want to extremely easily provided you're not totally inept. If you're the first in your family to get a degree and aren't good at maintaining a social network you'll likely have an extremely hard time finding a job, even if you are the person best suited for the jobs you are applying for. Even if the job you're applying for is LITERALLY what you spent 5 years getting a PhD on, if you don't know somebody, you likely won't get that job.
Finally, we must constantly work on educating ourselves and seeking knowledge that can provide answers to questions we sometimes can't even articulate. Shpancer believes that history is the subject to start with, as it "shows what happens to those who deny the facts, and about the scientific method, which shows that in refereeing competing truth claims, following the evidence is our best bet.
"'Facts,' said John Adams, 'are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.' The evidence wins out in the end. Don’t you want to be on the winning side?"

Most true for Americans, and to a lesser extent the other "western" countries. There were 1 billion people on the planet in 1800.

We can't effectively sustain the human population now, 1/3rd of food production ends up wasted, while 1/4 of the global population doesn't have enough to eat because getting it everywhere is a logistical nightmare, and yet a large portion of the population continues to think the only way to solve the big problems of the world is to stay the course, continue unchecked expansion and hope that solutions will be born along with the rising population. We've been playing this game for 40 years with the climate, and we're almost out of time. Yet the mindset seems unchanged.

Some of which are scientifically true, and some of which unfortunately humans have proven right. Yea we know these things happen but not accepting that it's going to happen is just plain ignorant, like thinking that some magic will just make it go away or god. I feel like your life will be much more happier and much more fulfilled if you accept that yes one day you will be alone and that everything you love will be gone that everything you do really doesn't matter because it all disappears I think you will live a much Fuller life if you accept that at a much younger age because then you will live every day like it is your last and you will not have any regrets. You could die tomorrow with $70,000 sitting in your bank account I certainly wouldn't want to die knowing the things I could have done and the places I could have seen with that money.
