42 Things People Are Tired Of Explaining, But Many Still Can’t Seem To Grasp, As Pointed Out In This Online Group


Have you ever had that moment when someone asks you a question you’ve already heard a million minus one times? And, finally, it’s time to give that million-th answer and you don’t feel like the day’s lucky winner at all?


Well, this list is just for you, because people have gathered to talk about all of the questions that make them roll their eyes and that they’re fed up with answering by this point.

That "freedom of speech" doesn't mean you get to say what you want, whenever you want, in whatever forum you want, without consequence.

#2

Depression is not “just being sad”, and depression does not equal weakness. F*****g tired of battling this stigma.

Here at Bored Panda, we reached out to the poster of this story, fluffyanimecow, about how they came up with the question, but it turns out that it wasn’t anything specific, just something that popped into their head. They mention knowing that there are loads of things that people are tired of explaining, especially the popular fact that some people can’t accept - everyone is different (and you can’t really do anything about it).

Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean they want *your* money.


Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean they deserve to be abused.


Just because someone is poor doesn’t mean they’re not worthy of help.

Another answer that caught our eye was by Specialist_Humor7751, saying that she prefers going to the cinema on her own. Overall, doing things on your own is something overlooked by many people.


There’s a huge difference between being lonely and being alone. Just as being introverted doesn’t mean that you can’t be social, being extroverted doesn’t dictate that you can’t be happy with your own company.


And being comfortable being alone has its perks - you can comfortably discover things about yourself, explore hobbies, and recharge your social battery.

Just because you don't see what harm your actions cause others doesn't mean there's no harm done.

Women’s vaginas don’t get permanently stretched out because they have had multiple sexual partners. Absolutely sick of explaining female anatomy to idiots who spread that nonsense.

Any type of diet, plants, or hocus pocus voodoo isn’t going to cure my cancer. It’s a chromosome switch so unless they can switch my chromosomes back into the right places, it’s not happening!

Very Well Mind shares loads of things that you can do all on your lonesome, from going to restaurants to traveling and visiting museums, once you’ve set your eyes on it.


But let’s return to Specialist_Humor7751! We reached out to her to talk more about her experience doing it. 


She first got into it about a year ago, when she really wanted to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. From then, she started going to the cinema solo more and more, recently seeing Across the Spider Verse.


Truth is, she was never one to talk during movies, so her plus movies alone was a natural match.


“Going with someone to a movie I’ve been wanting to see for years and them talking during it wouldn’t make the experience fun for me.”


#10

Why you should care about your fellow human beings.


That "nobody wants to work!" is only half correct - nobody wants to work 60 hours a week for poverty wages just so they can afford to live.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.

Specialist_Humor7751 prefers going out to cinemas as it’s a way for her to get out of the house more often.


“Ever since Covid hit, I’ve gotten more isolated, and hopping on a bus and going to my local theater helped me a lot.” All the people around her being just as excited as her makes the experience even more immersive for her.


If you’re needing that push to get out and visit a theater on your own, she has this to say: “Don’t worry about what other people think of you. If you’re enjoying yourself and you’re happy with your alone time, then other people’s opinions shouldn’t matter."


#13

That being deaf really means, I can't hear you at all. All the shouting doesn't help me to hear you.

#14

That when I say I’m not ever having children, that I’m not ever having children. Not that it’s an opportunity to tell me how/why/when I’ll change my mind.

I'm bipolar.

To people that naively tell me "everyone is a little bit bipolar"


*Long drawn out sigh*


No, no. I can assure you, they are not.

That rebooting a computer actually fixes most f*****g problems. We can also check when the last time you rebooted so stop f*****g lying to me Kathy!!!!

#20

The fact that medical facts will always change over time. Specifically with pregnancy. I’m tired of explaining to friends and family members that me drinking coffee or having caffeine won’t [end] my baby, or me lifting something heavier than 25pounds won’t kill me or my child.

It’s simply annoying to literally be pregnant, be actively going through an experience with new medication and be getting updated facts, and have people who gave birth for the last time 15+ years ago tell me I’m a bad mother for doing things my doctor has said is perfectly fine.

That most recycling ends up in the landfill.


You are not being environmentally friendly just because you recycle. Reducing and reusing are much, much better for the environment. Recycling is the last resort, only one small step up from garbage.

That just because im a woman does not mean I have to have kids or that I even good with them.

We do NOT ***" only use10% of our brain."***


If you only used 10% of your brain, you'd be dead.

#24

Having the right of way doesn't exempt you from responsibility. Just walking (or pulling) out into traffic and expecting everybody to see you, perceive you, and be able to stop in time is a good way to get hit by a bus.


Are you in the right? Yes.


Does it always matter? No. Physics will always win.

Juice in a rare steak is not blood.

#26

I am in IT. That does not mean I can single handedly make a game or large scale software. At the same time I also cannot hack the pentagon or "release" encrypted files from another hacker.

Also side note, while I was reinstalling windows for you, I did not break your toaster and radio on opposite sides of the house, and have no idea how to repair them or your microwave.

K thanks bye

Poor people are not poor because they want to be poor

Losing weight is easier if you watch your diet and count your calories vs busting your a*s at the gym everyday.

#30

That just because I'm Black does not mean that I'm an expert/ the go-to guy on all things African-American.


Seriously.


Along those lines - I can like a woman who's not Black because of qualities she has that have nothing to do with her skin color/ethnic background, or not like a Black woman because of the same things. If she's from Mumbai and would actually listen to me argue with someone why Professor X could use his mental blasts to take out a Mark II Sentinel and get me another beer instead of head for the door... why does it matter what her hair color is or where her people are from? She likes me enough to put up with my BS. Why should I look for someone that YOU think I should be with to make YOU happy with 'who should be with whom'?


Just saying...

The difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The vast majority of religious believers cringe just has hard as you do and wish the loud extremist minority would go away and shut up just like you.


Edit Ads:

It's a shame that so many people assume first which religion and second that these discussions don't already take place within the communities of these religions. They do.


The difference is, neither side is smart enough to realize that screaming your belief into the others face will never actually work - it only makes you the savage you think you are disagreeing with.


And this all sucks that I have to edit a larger piece into this because people still want to assume the worst and shout their beliefs into another's face.

That I enjoy going to the movie theater by myself ?especially if it’s a film I’m looking forward to seeing, and I don’t have to wait for anyone else to come with me

#34

I’m in my early 30s. I work with a lot of younger people. Mostly 18-23 year olds.


No you’re not going to get rich off crypto.


No you’re not going to get rich off meme stocks.


Yes 16% interest rate on a car loan is terrible, and buying a brand new Dodge Challenger at 19 years old is not the smartest idea. You complained about tanking up your Toyota Camry the other day. Come on now.

As a speech and language therapist, I am responsible for somebody's safe swallow to prevent aspiration pneumonia or choking. There is more to my profession than teaching a child to stop stuttering.

18 years of reinforced "go to college and you'll get a good job" growing up has led to an entire generation of adults who are on average more educated than prior generations when the number of jobs that would actually require those educations have not really increased in any significant numbers. So now more roles that don't actually need the education can still ask for it and get candidates with that education requirement applying because they can't get anything else. Add on the fact that tuition rates have been increasing at a much higher rate than inflation since at least the 80's while Uncle Sam happily foots the up-front costs and you wind up with a generation of people with significant debt making less than their expected income that can't afford to pay it off. Don't forget to add in that public schools don't (or at least didn't about 15 years ago when I graduated) have any mandatory classes to teach about loans in general, student loans, interest, etc so kids signed up for these loans with only a very vague idea of what they were signing up for. And finally, even if Biden's debt forgiveness passes (which I hope it does, as it will definitely help people), it will still do nothing to address the underlying issues and actually solve any problem. It will just put a bandaid over the issue for another year.

Nobody needs your permission to record/photograph you in public. I used to be a security guard, and the amount of people who think this is astonishing.


No, you don't need a release form for that, you can't sue them if they "put you on YouTube," etc. You have no expectation of privacy in public spaces.


****Edit to clarify. I'm talking about the USA. Laws are different in other countries.

Digital Art does not mean the computer draws for you. Whenever I show someone a portrait I did and say I did it in photoshop, they practically roll their eyes and it makes me want death
