Children say terrible things. But have you seen what they write and do?! Reddit has a small but great online community. r/KidsWhoMeanWell It collects hilarious examples of how outspoken and blunt children can be, even when they have the best of intentions.

We’ve collected some of the hilarious, weirdest, and honest things kids have ever written or done at school or at home to share with you. Check out the pictures. Just think for a moment how people would react to you if you wrote or did something like that right now.

Dr. Bonior, host of the “Baggage Check” podcast and author of “Detox Your Thoughts,” shared her thoughts on how honest we should be in communicating with others.

“I think there is a lot of beauty in honesty compared to the overly edited and curated images we tend to present on social media. It’s a breath of fresh air to imagine kids who aren’t learning, Brand, just speaking their true feelings,” she told Bored Panda. I want to be a powerful member of society.

“So there is a balance in taking other people’s feelings into account. Those who live the most sincere and honest lives and do good things in the world can find this balance — be kind and tell the truth.” By speaking and thinking about how you want to hear certain things, Dr. Bonior explained where the limits of honesty and kindness lie.

We were also interested in the point where we start by saying and writing all that we mean to filter our thoughts. I believe that there is a tendency to nurture

“Even if you didn’t mean to harm someone, you might punish them for saying something inappropriate or embarrassing. Or, not doing something is more important than not getting caught.” I might mistakenly tell you,” she explained to Bored Panda.

“Instead, have informative conversations about how we speak our truth, speak in a helpful and caring way, and don’t feel like we need to be perfect all the time, even on social media. I think you’ll find it more helpful.”

The r/KidsWhoMeanWell online community was established in mid-February 2018. He doesn’t have more than 1.5,000 members following the subreddit, but the photos shared in the group are hilarious!

It’s a glimpse into our own childhood, when many of us were much more direct about how we communicated. I was saying or writing exactly what was on my mind. absolutely!

r/KidsWhoMeanWell really takes into account how we communicate with others. Most pandas reading this will probably agree that the way we speak and write was much more direct and direct. You weren’t filtering your thoughts so accurately! When something pops into your head, express it. For better or worse.

But as time went on and we grew and matured, we began to self-censor more and more of our thoughts. Make us attractive to any audience listening to us. Whatever our actual studies or professions, we have all become a mixture of diplomats, corporate climbers and politicians. Reputation and survival depend on it.

You see, words hurt, like it or not. Some of us are resilient to criticism, while others crumble at the slightest frankness. So it’s up to all of us to find ways to express our honest thoughts while also making the person we’re talking to feel like they don’t need to be offended or defended.

This is a fine balance between being completely open and expressing your views in a dignified and diplomatic way. Even if it’s 100% how we feel, candor is not always the best way to communicate. You must be empathetic enough to think about the consequences of your words and recognize how those around you feel when they hear or read them.

As children we are not (yet) responsible for all our actions, develop new skills And you learn very quickly about how the world and society work. As adults, we have to carry more and more burdens. We are no longer munchkins scurrying around the playground, so immature behavior cannot be tolerated.

It’s great to live in a world where everyone is free to say what they think. Politeness quickly disappears out the window. Because everyone you meet will tell you what they think in advance and expect the same from you. But that’s not just how the world works (and it won’t be unless the planet evolves into a strange AI- and microchip-controlled dystopia).

Simply changing the way we express it can make a huge difference in how others react to the very same ideas we propose. tone, body language, politeness, all these are important.

Let’s say you’re a super serious adult with a super serious job. Something went wrong now. Maybe you don’t get along with your co-workers, you have to work overtime, or someone sneaky keeps stealing your lunch from the shared fridge. Broadly speaking, there are two ways to react. You can complain, whine, and criticize those around you. Alternatively, you can provide constructive feedback. The former is a lot of fun and we’re guilty, but it’s the latter that really solves the problem.

Generally speaking, complaining is mostly a one-way street. Diverging without offering ideas on how to improve something probably won’t lead to any change. Constructive feedback, on the other hand, is really about having a dialogue and resolving conflicts with all the other very serious adults who are doing very serious work. It takes more effort (and, frankly, courage), but it’s a mature approach.

The best way to see if you are complaining or communicating constructively is to consider whether you are thinking about your goals before you speak or write. What specifically do you hope to achieve by offering some potential solutions? indicates that

Bosses don’t appreciate people who don’t have to listen to problems and aren’t independent or resourceful. When you take the time to think about how you will communicate with them, you are setting yourself up for success. We can no longer afford to act like children. But like the members of r/KidsWhoMeanWell do!
