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."

Just A Bit Of A Difference
How Is This Possible
Not A True Catholic
I guess the Pope should take catechism classes from Ashley, as she knows so much about Catholicism.
I just love how extreme catholics can't be as open and accepting as their holiest person in the church. It's just so sad
Seems the only thing he endorsed was that sexual orientation doesn't change who God's children are.
I always hate when he is shown as an example of a "good catholic". He stated that women cannot get any power in the church "because jesus chose men to be his followers", called selfish to childfree couples or that had "only" one child. Refused to fight the pederastia, sexual abuse and slavery cases in the vatican. He is a bit more modern than the others but not a good guy
Exactly! He's only good in comparison to the previous ones, plus he's sure talking a lot, creating better PR for the church, but when it comes to actually changing things for the better he's not doing much.

The Catholic Church bans the use of contraceptives in my country and interferes with politics to make sure people have no access to them and no access to sex education.
The Bible says to love them for who they are and not what they've done so he is right
That sounds stupid, but sedevacantism is a thing. They are a sect of traditionalist Catholicism that believes the Vatican II (and particularly the Dignitatis Humanae declaration about religious freedom) was BS and the subsequent popes are usurpers. For a sedevacantist, Francis is obviously not a true Catholic.
Sedevacantism is a doctrinal position within traditionalist Catholicism which holds that the present occupier of the Holy See is not a valid pope due to the popes espousal of one or more heresies, and that therefore, for a lack of a valid pope, the See of Rome is vacant. I don't think these Catholics are so much against what he is saying as they are incensed that he would use his position as leader, pope, to actively go against the teachings of the church.

Actually, the issue with Catholics (and I was raised one) is that humans get to change, edit, upgrade, switch, and delete ideas and rules anytime it fits them. Sure, years ago gay people would "go to hell". Now, the Church is changing its tune a bit and becoming more lenient. Are we to believe that God is sending messages to the Pope, etc., announcing his change of heart? No. Humans, as with every religion, keep inventing things that suit them. When I receive First Communion at age 7, it was mortal sin to eat within 3 hours before receiving Communion. A few years later, it turned into only one hour. Today, there are no time limits. Why? Because the Catholic church is desperate for people to just show up for Mass. Forget the dress code, forget the old rules ... just show up.
God is infallible. God created all different types of people so this world wouldn't be boring. To call one of God's creations an abomination is blasphemy and a sin. Love thy neighbor, no exceptions.
And yes, I am Catholic and have all my sacraments but one. If your Catholic and you don't understand that joke, then you need to go back to church.
Load More Replies... its almost as if each person utilises the structure of religion to make up their own rules in order to justify anything they want to be able to justify....
The Pope is from Argentina. He was a caring human being long before that puff of white smoke made him Pope.
I’m so confused after reading some comments along the line of “just because he’s the pope it doesn’t mean he’s infallible”. Yes. That’s is literally and expressly exactly what it means. It very well documented and agreed upon by the entire Vatican and catholic system - the pope is very much exactly that: infallible. At the very least in ex cathedra.
Very rare for a deeper understanding of the word catholic amongst "believers". With a lower-case "c," catholic means "universal" and "inclusive." The goal of catholicism ought to become more inclusive of all things, not less.
Hilarious Catholics saying the Pope is wrong. I was raised Catholic, still am, and have a wonderful gorgeous trans girlfriend. Not all Catholics hate LGBTQ. Some of us are just normal people who happen to believe a certain religion.
He is a true Christian if you define Christian as following the teachings of Jesus Read the Bible, actually read it.
Yeahbut, Ashley is MORE Catholic, so she knows how true Catholics should be, and persecution is how to be a True Catholic, obvs
it's funny how the pope is infallible... until he states something others don't agree with
Ashley Hutcherson, I guarantee he's a true Catholic, a good Catholic, & the reason some of us are considering listening to the church after leaving (call myself a recovering Catholic for a reason - I'm 56). And from your one hate filled, uninformed, small- minded and just plain stupid comment, I can also guarantee he's a MUCH better person than you are. I've disagreed with the Catholic church most of my life - no women priests, no divorce, no birth control, nothing but male/female relationships or marriages, etc - but he is trying to bring the church into the 21st century. I was taught God loves us all, regardless and I should do the same. I try, but I'm happy to make an exception in your case.
I think Ashley needs to get her butt in gear and begin an impeachment hearing.
catholic: universal . . . liberal , the opposite of exclusive . . . from the Greek for universal
Well, and to be fair- not regarding the actual comment mind you- but on whether hs is truly a Catholic- folks have been having that argument for hundreds of years and hence why there are so many Christian denominations- even within the "Catholic" church- you have Anglicans, and Roman Catholics, and Greek Orthodox, etc- So Pope or not- “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” - another Schism could be just around the corner!
He never explicitly endorsed same sex marriages. He was just endorsing already existing human behavior that happens to be based on love.
He is definitely a true Christian, however, as he is not judging... But following the Law of the Christ which is Love.
I'm not even fecking religious and I know this... shasta.

Francis is such a great Pope!!! He brings more heathens to Catholicism every day.Why didn't all other Popes think like him?
WHEEZE-Pope Francis is a true catholic, ashley j. bitcherson isn't
You are the pope but we do not grant you the rank of catholic. Mace Windu, 19 BBY
I believe the Catholic Church has a terrible history as far as committing heinous crimes, but the pope is going against Bible teachings which Catholics use to base their beliefs on. The pope (right or wrong) has no business representing anything that goes against those teachings.

I actually share a birthday with Pope Francis and even though I'm atheist as f.u.c.k I think it's kind of cool
We had a neighbor who was a priest and had a live-in maid, who turned out to be his wife. We always had a hunch but when he died, she came forth.
Well since Catholic persecuted and executed omosexuals for more than 2000 years probably Ashley is more accurate than drew
Yep, the argentian comunist pope, who has an army, but encourage people not to own guns. The same freak who welcomes robbers in the vatican, and CLEARLY ever read the bible. But ok. You all go and praise this m***f****er
Just trying to decipher what you just said, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but did you just say that homosexuals or bisexuals cannot be Christian?

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."

People Can Be Really Stupid Sometimes
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.

Unpopular Opinion: We Should Make Crime Illegal
"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."

Practice stepping outside your comfort zone, and over time, you'll learn that messing up isn't as bad as you thought!
