Life is too complex for smooth sailing. We all struggle with something. But turning a blind eye to our problems won't solve them.
Of course, that's easier said than done. So in an attempt to find out what issues people are running away from the most, Redditor u/Letmediebro made a post on the platform, asking other users: "What is a hard pill to swallow for most people?" And many replied!
From romantic relationships and parenting to mental health and self-image, the answers touched upon plenty of different topics. Here are the ones that got the most upvotes.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! (probably dealing with a bratty kid)
Please read this then read it again and then read it AGAIN if it still doesn't sink in.
Say it louder! And bisexual women do NOT want to have a threesome with their girlfriend and you!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Yes! This should be higher. Religions are an organized set of rules supposedly written by a otherworldly, incorporeal divinity. Stop and think about that for a second. Completely bonkers. It's a club, you go, you follow the rules, you pay the monthly fee, you mingle. If you break the rules you're either shunned away or you can pay an extra and all your sins are forgiven. Really. Bonkers.
Karma is a sh!tty concept. It leads to thinking if something bad happens to person, they somehow deserved it.
This is so important. Family members are often bullies you're conditioned to love and respect. If someone makes you feel bad they aren't doing so out of love, so why keep them around? Blood may be thicker than water and so much harder to clean up, but it isn't impossible and, I say it from experience, once you get some distance, they'll go on full surprised Pikachu mode and be twice as vicious about you. Maybe just my relatives.
This needs to be higher! So many people think that they can control others or that others can control them. How many times have we said things like "that person made me feel..."? No one can make someone else feel or think anything. We need to learn to take responsibility for our own reactions and responses to others, and to realize that although we may influence others, we can't control them either.
Sadly. Since my fiance of 14 years died in November 18, I feel like I'm standing still and the world is spinning too fast. Only our close friends and family cares, but it seems to you like the world should stand still for your immense, unbearable pain. And it is unbearable
Unless the situation just maimed you, in which case you working harder won't fix it.
And moving on doesn't always mean "forgetting about". Sometimes it just means accepting that it happened and refusing to let it guide your choices.
Wearing a mask *correctly* is. It amazes me, the amount of people who think they wear them just to keep their chin warm. Not like germs could maybe possibly get through those holes in your face you call your mouth and nostrils.
That "karma" has to deal instant result is a western attitude. If you actually read through what Hinduism (where the word originates) suggests, karma always catches up. Be it this life, next life or 10 lifes after that you will always get what you sowed. Every thought+action (karma) eventually has consequences. Doesn't necessarily have to be on our perceived schedule.
Yes. I've left many. I'm not anyone's personal barbie doll. Leaving can be VERY freeing
I agree!! A good advice from a friend, in order to build this, if your are unsure of yourself, just act the way you want it to be between the two of you. Like practice instead of thinking and planning and wondering and waiting.
And as you grow older, the list becomes smaller and smaller and smaller...
Really!? I’ve NEVER seen that before…someone. wrong. On internet. I don’t believe it.
The only difference between a cult and a religion is time, why else do you think it takes so long for them to be considered a religion?
We all have. Men suppress "weak" emotions like sadness, and woman suppress "loud" emotions like anger. Both is wrong and unhealthy.
I know, for some reason I'm not the firefighting rockstar I wanted to be...
Society is a cage that the world willingly puts itself in in order to have some structure
Soul mates don't exist but there is compatibility, and you're not always compatible with people you're attracted to. Think carefully if the work needed to make it work is actually worth it.
But you should read to them from birth every single day and they will turn out ahead of the pack if you instill curiosity and a love for knowledge. And that's the job of YOU, the parent, not the teachers.
Sadly if you're realistic this is true. But some people would rather be happy than be just rich. Because, sometimes doing what you've always wanted to do with your life will mean more than millions of bucks ever could.
That the universe is indifferent and that any individual deserves better than what's happened to them are not mutually exclusive. Horrible atrocities occur every day; the people suffering them absolutely deserve better. Unfortunately 'deserve' has nothing to do with it.
That's what i always think about. Write an answer. Edit. Edit. Edit. Delete, start from the beginning. Edit. Send. Realise, it's worse than it was in the beginning.
Just to clarify what’s happening here. We are all taking the obvious platitudes made into memes by a reddit user called “Let Me Die Bro” and freebooted by BP here as genuine insight into the human condition and profound universal truths? I personally believe that is just gross.
Thanks. I was getting irritated as l scrolled down the list.
