From the comical mishap of walking straight into a seemingly invisible glass door to the downright perplexing experience of momentarily forgetting the very word 'door' when attempting to recount the incident to a friend, it's an undeniable truth that each of us encounters moments of sheer human fallibility. 

Whether it's a dumb fail that leaves us chuckling at our own expense or a brief lapse in memory that momentarily stumps us, these occurrences remind us of our shared humanity and keep us grounded in the unpredictability of everyday life. For better or worse, nowadays, all these mishaps are all over dumb posts on the internet, and all these blunders are documented for years to come. 

So to make peace with our collective dullness of mind, we at Bored Panda have an ongoing series where we share pictures of the dumbest things ever said on the internet by people. (In case you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out here and here and catch up.)

We hope this latest collection of dumb social media posts reassures you that nobody's perfect and allows you to look at your failures with a little less embarrassment. Or, at the very least, it provides you with an opportunity to distract yourself and forget about it!

We All Fail Sometimes, and Here's How to Deal With It Like a Pro

Psychotherapist Amy Morin, LCSW, who is the Editor-in-Chief of Verywell Mind and the author of the bestselling book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, believes that failure is something we all endure and it's important to know that there are things we can do to feel better about it.

First off, embrace your emotions. Morin highlighted that failure is often accompanied by a variety of emotions, including embarrassment, anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame, just to name a few. Those feelings are uncomfortable, and many people will do anything they can to escape the discomfort they cause but according to research, allowing yourself to feel bad is actually motivating. It can help you work harder to find better solutions so that you'll improve next time, even if we’re talking about the dumbest things ever said on the internet—they can also make you feel very underwhelmed.

Minimizing the Discomfort Won’t Make It Go Away Completely

Next up, we should make an effort to recognize our unhealthy attempts to reduce pain. "You might be tempted to say, 'I didn't actually want that job anyway,' but minimizing your pain won't make it go away," Morin said.

"Distracting yourself or filling the void you feel with food, drugs, or alcohol won't heal your pain either. Those things will only provide you with some temporary relief."

That's the joke! See the line is supposed to say ...and a rabbi, but somebody said/wrote 'rabbit'. The 'rabbit' then says he must be a typo - you know- a word spelled by accident. Think about it. It's funny because the rabbit realized he was only there do to a typing mistake.

A priest, a minister and a rabbit go to give blood. The attendant looks up at them and says, “We’re very busy right now; if you know what blood type you are, we’ll take you first to speed up the process.” The rabbit speaks up, “I’ll go first then, I am a type O.”

...I would have probably made the same comment 3YearLetterman made. Because I read that as "atypical". It was only after reading a BP comment that I got suspicion and went back to read it slowly. I can't even use the "I taught myself English" excuse anymore. That was 30-odd years ago.

Building Healthy Coping Skills is Vital

After that, we can start focusing on healthy coping skills instead. "Calling a friend, practicing deep breathing, taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain," the psychotherapist explained. We’d also add that looking up something fun, like the shortcomings of the dumb people on the internet, might also cheer you up.

"Not every coping skill works for everyone, however, so it's important to find what does for you."

It’s one thing to lack knowledge, be naive or ignorant. These are merely obstacles. However, needing some warped sense of validation by correcting people you know nothing about, or even worse, mansplaining simply because they’re a woman, is a character flaw at best, a personality disorder most likely.

A 2016 review published in Clinical Psychology Review that looked at 46 studies examining reactions to failure found that a "more positive attributional style" was a strong factor in how resilient people were to the emotional distress caused by failure.

In other words, they saw failure as a result of something specific and external rather than something internal.

"When you find yourself thinking that you're a hopeless cause or that there’s no use in trying again, reframe your thoughts," Morin suggested.

"Remind yourself of more realistic thoughts about failure such as: a) failure is a sign that I'm challenging myself to do something difficult; b) I can handle failure; c) I can learn from my failures."

However, you will probably need to repeat a phrase or affirmation more than once in order to ward off negative thoughts or to reinforce to yourself that you can bounce back. But you will bounce back! Even the people from these dumb social media posts did, and that accounts to something.

If you've spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally catches you off-guard. However, facing your fears can really improve your quality of life. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone, and over time, you'll learn that messing up isn't as bad as you thought!

Just take a look at the dumbest things ever said on the internet documented on this list—to some, they might seem like failures, but at most, they’re happy little accidents that, in the end, make us laugh heartily.
