This Online Group Collects The Best Personal Tweets, Here Are 50 That Deserve The Attention They Got (New Pics)
Thoughts constantly swirl around in our heads. From when we open our eyes in the morning until we close them at night (and sometimes, even after that), there's always something for us to contemplate about.
In fact, a 2020 study suggests people typically have more than 6,000 thoughts per day. That's a lot. And as much as we'd like to believe otherwise, not all of them are brilliant. So with social media allowing us to instantly share whatever crosses our mind, we broadcast quite a lot of funny, weird, and infuriating personal takes, too.
To illustrate just how random our statements can be, we at Bored Panda put together a new publication on the subreddit whose sole mission is to capture the chaotic side of human interaction. Continue scrolling to check out its latest finds and fire up our earlier piece on it when you're done.

This Would Be The Greatest Irony
To learn more about our inner filters, we contacted Phil Reed, D.Phil., who is a professor of psychology at Swansea University.
"There are many reasons why people overshare," Dr. Reed told Bored Panda. "A lack of awareness about the dangers is one, but also the lack of 'real' social feedback online is a big contributor. Since there is a degree of anonymity, certain a lack of immediate feedback, people tend to get it wrong in terms of sharing."

However, even though the reasons why people overshare may vary, the act itself seems pretty much universal. Also, researchers from The University of Edinburgh and Northwestern University in Illinois found that the risk of oversharing in conversation actually increases as people age.
When testing 100 people from 17 to 84 years old on their attention skills, the researchers discovered that the older subjects provided listeners with more irrelevant details than their younger peers. As this behavior can be dangerous — older people, for example, might accidentally reveal private info to strangers looking to take advantage — this finding is essential in helping "design targeted training that helps older adults improve these skills and avoid embarrassing and potential risky communicative errors,” said lead researcher Madeleine Long, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences.

I feel the same about these appeal shows that they have on TV. Lots of celebrities virtue-signalling about how they are working the night for free as they try to guilt you into donating part of your rent to charity. Don't get me wrong, we give to local charities when we can afford to and they do some brilliant work. But I will not tolerate some rich TV star trying to make me feel guilty about keeping a roof over our head and food on the table. Furthermore, and this bit is horrible but it needs telling, a poor elderly lady killed herself in the UK a couple of years ago because she couldn't afford to give to every appeal directed her way. Every penny she had was sunk into charity appeals and when the money ran out she felt so bad that she had to end her life. Literally killed by kindness.

I've met Dan! We were both buying coffee and chatting casually; he asked if I was staying at the cafe with my coffee, so we sat and just talked about generic stuff. I had no idea who he is at the time. Incredibly friendly and nice man!
Dr. Reed said people should be very wary of oversharing. "It can compromise personal security, and personal safety, as well as lead to bullying."
"It can also make people very vulnerable psychologically; if they are feeling low, overshare to get support, and are attached for it, then depression can set in."

I have chronic illnesses that would make me more susceptible to infection (I’ve already lost my large bowel to sepsis & my lower right leg to a post-sepsis infection) & even with a mask, I’m still going to come home with cold/flu-like symptoms. Call me a sheep all you like, but at least I’m not mutton (aka: sheep that’s prepared & served on a plate)! 😏🤷♀️
When I was a kid "muttonhead" was a pretty common insult 🤣🤣🤣.

Most Americans don't wear masks anymore, and yet those that do are somehow still the sheep.
I'm just wearing the mask because I plan on crop dusting the elevator while I'm in here.
I would have coughed all the way to my floor without putting my hand over my mouth, I bet they would have gotten off before me
November '20, I had a lady, not wearing a mask correctly, coughing, buying medicine and casually saying she had to go home because "I've just been diagnosed with COVID," come through my line. I'm a cashier. _I was livid._ There were two guys behind her who'd been putting their stuff on and it was a lot of stuff. I told them to please not touch anything beyond the belt nor come and stand across from me just yet, as I went to work with sterilizing fluid, gloves, paper towels, the whole nine yards. I was wearing a mask. The guy snarked, "For what, that fake COVID stuff?" I said, and I didn't care how it sounded to him, "Well that lady flat out told me she has that "COVID stuff" and I am sterilizing everything for your protection. When you are gone my line is shut down and I am allowing nobody through. Never saw two faces go so pale.
I sterilized all but the belt area where their stuff was. I sterilized my hands between full bags (and bagged it all myself), and the guy who'd snarked to me put his hand in a plastic bag before he touched the electronic payment terminal (that I also had sterilized before allowing him to touch it. They made tracks out of there and I hope they learned a lesson. When they were done, I did just as I said...kept my line closed and cleaned every inch of my station, belt, shelving around the area (within reason), the whole nine yards. I then reported and expected to be sent home. I'd already informed the higher-ups, who discussed it at length and decided that since my interaction with the woman had been very brief and I'd taken immediate action afterwards, the risk of my exposure was minimal, so I could stay. I was incredulous, but I didn't get sick, so there's that.

I'm wating in line at the bakery. There are already 2 (older)customers in the store, neither of whom are wearing a mask... the mask requirement has been lifted here. Customer A to me: Why are you wearing a mask? I (a little irritated, because it's not his buissness, if I wear it or not): I feel safer with a mask. Customer B: Those things are just annoying anyway and don't help. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any new infected people, after everyone had to wear them. Customer A: Yes exactly... complete nonsense. Customer B: Exactly... same with the vaccinations. As if that would help. My son got infected after he even had 3 vaccinations. I... taking off the mask with a sigh: Oh that's good. I've had such trouble breathing since I got sick. I could watch the two idiots lose all color from their faces... and suddenly, I had way more space. I actually wanted to cough (for the drama effect), but the emploee looked a little bit nervous. After customer A and B left... they were in a hurry
Me, I woulda faked an intense coughing fit as well, but I like to gild the lily.
Bring it on, man. I advocate for good health and natural immunity. Getting the damn bug (which a 99.9 survival rate, by the way), means my terrically healthy body can start building anti-bodies. Remember high-school science? THAT's immunity, with no lab-brewed concoction.
I used to dabble in Hollywood-grade gross-out makeup effects when I was a teenager. I really want to buy a gallon of liquid latex and get out my old tools and build a facial application of putrefied, oozing flesh, hide it under a mask, and go out and find some antimasker on public transportation.
Friend of mine who's triple vaxxed healthy and under 40 just had covid. He was bedridden for two weeks and still has a heck of a cough and gets tired easy. The newer omicrons are not fun

It´s so annoying...In germany the only place now where you are not just advised but mus wear a maks in on public transportation...and i just simply forget that it is on my face and go by my way ... and people ar looking at me like i am an idiot.....
Umm requiring self isolation with Covid would zero out this guy being in an elevator. Or was that not law in the US at that time in June 21?
To keep ourselves in check, Dr. Reed suggests treating communication on the internet the same as in real life.
"Remember, online is just as much of a social interaction as in the real world," he said. "Do not share anything online that you would not in real life. People can get a little impulsive with their digital interactions, so just remember that. Perhaps count to 10 before sharing."

But if you are bothered by another person who starts to give you too much information, psychotherapist Amy Morin says your first line of defense should be to change the subject.
For instance, try saying, 'Sorry to hear that. Have you heard the weather for tomorrow?' Sometimes people will take the hint, but you may need a more direct approach if the other person continues to overshare.

Bigotry ?
because republicans believe obviously that women's political opinions don't count but women are merely there to reproduce, as per the recent RvW judgment
The key in such situations is to not reciprocate. Just because your boss tells you she's going through a divorce, that doesn't mean you need to tell her about your marital problems as well.
While sharing your personal stories can be empowering, you should do that at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people.

A friend pointed out that those Facebook posts that ask for pets' names could be used to guess passwords. When I realized how many of my passwords did use a pet's name, I changed them all. And I stopped replying to those FB posts.
