10 things you shouldn't say to anyone

People say that honesty is always the best policy. In most cases, I agree 100%. But sometimes, the truth is more of a problem than it deserves. The truth is that most people cannot cope with the truth. So, in this article, I'm going to give you 7 things you should never say to anyone.

1. Everything will be fine

This comes with a warning. I think it can be reassuring. But at the same time, I encountered someone who told me this and I was also very annoyed by them. The fact is that to say that everything will be fine is completely unacceptable. Since the person who is saying it does not suffer from the same things, he is not in a position to say whether things will be okay or not. Likewise, the person who is told that everything will be fine is usually in a very difficult situation.

2. Relax/Calm Down

Think with me for a moment. When someone has a tantrum and sees red, what's the last thing they want to hear? I know for a fact that it's not about relaxing or calming down. In fact, these are probably the last things they want to hear. It will only make them angrier. The lesson is, never say that. Silence is often much better than saying anything at all. If someone is angry, there's not much you can say to calm them down.

3. I Told You That

This may work in Hollywood scripts, but not in real life. Realistically, the person who said "I told you that" in a condescending way probably deserves a slap. I've never seen anyone say this to someone in real life. And for good reason. The results will be barbarous.

4. Bypass the order

This is very similar to a relaxation/calm point. Telling people to overcome something is not helpful. And they know they need to overcome that. And they don't need to be told some pretender people. If they are in the same position as the person facing a problem, they also hate being asked to "get over it." So don't say that to anyone. It does more harm than good, even if your intentions are pure.

5. You look tired

I was told this a few weeks ago. The truth is that I was just bored. The reason I looked tired was because I was tired. I'm tired of boredom from my mind. Either way, don't tell people they look tired. Can you imagine how offended someone would feel if you told them they seem tired after enjoying a full night's rest? Just don't do it. Either say something positive or say nothing at all (within reason).

6. When is the baby due date?/ Are you pregnant?

This has been done to death in the movies. But still don't say that. If you mistake a fat woman with a pregnant woman, this could be your last day on the planet. If you misunderstand a pregnant woman and a fat woman, this could be your last day in the universe. Act accordingly.

7. Why are you still single?

People asking this question may think they are offering a compliment. But in reality, they just rub salt on wounds. The fact is that unmarried people are often quite aware of their shortcomings. They know that the person asking the question has no idea what is really happening in his life.

8. You are so calm

This is a phrase I've heard more times than I can count, as an introvert who tends to be introverted in social situations. More often than not, someone points it out. When someone says, "You're so quiet," it may seem like a specific accusation rather than a simple note. It is as if silence is a crime, or a character defect that must be corrected immediately. The truth is that some people prefer to listen rather than talk, and that's perfectly fine. It doesn't sound like a crime now, does it? It should not be surprising that it is not necessary for everyone to be in party life or the center of attention.

9. I lost weight

At first glance, the phrase "you've lost weight" may seem like a compliment. After all, society often equates thinness with attractiveness. Elegant heroin being on the rise, and all that. But as someone who has had an eating disorder and comes out from the other side, please avoid commenting on people's weight. Weight loss. Overweight. If you want to praise someone's appearance, target things they fully control; the color of their jacket, or how they put on their makeup today. Weight-focused statements can be loaded with implications and assumptions that can make the recipient feel uncomfortable.

10. You overreact

This statement is often used to ignore someone's feelings or reactions as excessive, irrational, or too sensitive. But it's important to remember that everyone has different emotional thresholds and stimuli, shaped by their life experiences and unique perspectives. So, when you tell someone that they're overreacting, you're essentially nullifying their feelings and experiences. This can lead to feelings of frustration, isolation and self-doubt. Judge reciprocate someone's reaction or rejection for trying to understand their source. Give your support and tell them it's okay for them to feel what they feel. This type of empathy and verification can help build trust and strengthen your relationship with them.
