The world is changing so fast, new values are being integrated into our society as well as some values are gradually becoming obsolete and a lot of people see nothing wrong with whatever is going on, the world is “evolving” they say and everyone seems so comfortable with the way things are going.

If I had my way to change anything in this world the very first thing I would change in this world is how people talk! People are slowly forgetting their manners when having conversations with other people. I hate it when people use jokes to abuse or spew rubbish. “I was just joking”, “It was just a joke, it’s not that deep” Bro it is deep! Deeper than you can ever imagine or think! If you wanna reprimand me for something then be sure to do that outrightly not trying to pass some sort of message in your jokes then afterward you laugh and apologize that it wasn’t that deep.

People need to filter their words, I am not saying you should sugarcoat your words or pretend, Nah, I am only saying that we should be sure to take note of the atmosphere and the mood of the receiver of our words, try to read people’s mood and decipher if they are in the right frame of mind to take in whatever you are about to dish out to them. For example, I just misplaced a very important document that I could get fired for, if I don't come up with it, you jokingly come to remind me of how clumsy I can be at that very instant when I'm already jittery and miserable, this honestly says a whole lot about your level of emotional intelligence. At that point, the least you can do is try to help me find it, or better still let me be at that moment, later, you could come around when I might have already found the said document, you can go ahead and lecture me calmly about how I need to be more orderly.

If I had my way I would start by enlightening people big time on emotional intelligence, so many people lack emotional intelligence, some don’t even know what it means sadly. I guess the normal workshop we’ve had on this topic would always be the theoretical part, no one really gives people real-life examples of how to put our emotional intelligence to work, and those who know about these real-life examples and feel it is not enough for them to get to work. I will have to make the workshop appear in a different dimension, that is, making people understand the adverse effect of not paying attention to other people’s feelings, and since a lot of humans are driven by emotions that would be enough for them to work with.

As humans, we should be at least sensitive, nobody is asking for your money or anything, just a little concern for the other person will go a long way.

I am a very sensitive person, I know they’re times when my being sensitive has landed me in trouble but half the time it has made me make genuine connections with people, it doesn’t take anything for you to take a pause and think of the weight of your words.

So many people are dealing with depression, some inferiority complex and some are currently suicidal, don’t be the reason why someone hates him or herself the more or second guess themselves, or even the person that makes them lose the last string they've been hanging on to, instead be that person that spurs people to do better and to be happy as well.

Another thing I would love to change in this world if I had the ability would be to punish whoever is caught yelling😂😂 Lol I guess you never saw that coming.

It’s so wrong to yell at people, buttress your point in a calm way, you would be heard clearly not you screaming at the top of your voice because you wanna “win” the argument, at the end of the day you silence the other person, you win and you feel better, that’s trash and I see those people as being insecure, you displaying such act of aggressiveness tells a lot about you and it’s obvious that you are so self-absorbed, that you’d want to shove your ideologies down the other person’s throat, that’s big time rubbish!
If given the chance I’ll punish anyone doing that! We can all co-exist peacefully without such dramas.

So basically they are a lot of things that I would love to change if given the opportunity but these two I carefully highlighted tops the chart for me.

Lol, this post just feels more like a rant the more I read it😂😂

Hello @ibbtammy,
I stumbled upon your post and decided to give it a read.

I'm happy I did because I have a deep appreciation for the way you think, and you are a very good writer who is good at conveying a great depth of meaning behind your words.

The topic of self moderation in social situations is quite extensive with so many things to consider. Should one moderate their true thoughts about another person if it may be negative? Should one question why they think these negative things in the first place?

It's (mostly) socially agreeable that people should not say bad things about others, and the psychology behind why people may use jab like jokes to or about others is pretty extensive as well.

I believe if people took more time to think about what they are saying in social situations, they would likely say nicer things, and others would likely feel better about them, in turn influencing the other person to feel naturally more positive. So there is a type of energetic feedback loop which occurs.

If possible, I would try to avoid highly toxic people though because there's a lot of them out there these days and they will totally mess up your existence. Best to steer clear of those types if you can.

Given the fact that you express a desire for positive change with humanity shows you're empathetic in nature and have a good foundation to help make a change in the world. Thank you for sharing your positive message with us!

Hello @futuremind I woke up to seeing this your comment, I read it and smiled, I re-read it again and smiled as it’s not every day you see people that genuinely get your point.

If possible, I would try to avoid highly toxic people though because there's a lot of them out there these days and they will totally mess up your existence. Best to steer clear of those types if you can.

So true as this people are ready to drown you in their toxicity! one crazy thing about being toxic is that you don’t even know that you are toxic.

I'm happy I did because I have a deep appreciation for the way you think, and you are a very good writer who is good at conveying a great depth of meaning behind your words.

Thank you so much dear friend as this means a lot to me😃😃

See you around🥰🥰

Not deep enough 😂
People can be funny sometimes honestly... The problem is that most times the so called jokes are stale and not even funny

Lectures on Emotional intelligence seems fine... I'll be your first student 🤣

I need you to come tell that yelling part to my grandmother... Her literally calling you is yelling and my heart skips always whenever she does that

Beautiful post

Same with my dad, whenever he yells I always feel like I got electrocuted.

Hmm!! You really spoke my mind at the first paragraph. Like people are already forgetting that we have feelings, they just talk anyhow, say whatever and call it a joke. Ah!! I detest such jokes.

The world would have been a better place if what you said could be done but unfortunately we can only imagine or wish for such.

Sadly we can only hope or wish for all of these to happen.

A very thought provoking post - thanks my friend for highlighting this important subject. I agree with you that people need to filter their words. When I was young, I learned that before I say anything.. I should ask myself 'what am I going to say?'.. 'why am I going to say it?'.. and "is it going to harm anyone around me?'. Keep well.

Yeah, people don't care about the emotion of the hearer anymore, they just talk what cones to their mond, we need a filter for that.

Good write-up sis, Expressing one's thoughts is cool, and there are a lot of things one might think of changing depending on what we like or desire.

Thanks for sharing this.

“It was just a joke, it’s not that deep” Bro it is deep!

This sounds like some passive aggressive behavior. I used to know a lot of people like this but these days I think I've filtered most of them out of my life or showed them that I don't engage with it.

take note of the atmosphere

In Japan there is an expression "Read the air" that's very common. People here might do it too much, but I prefer that to many other places (my hometown included) where people don't do it enough. I hope I do it well, though I'm never sure!

I can totally relate to being a "sensitive person". Actually from my perspective, many people are just too dull, numbed by too many years sitting at a desk or being mistreated by someone or around too many dull people so it rubs off on them. Some of us manage to remain sensitive, and I think that's a great thing, as long as we learn to manage what we give attention to. That's what I've been working on anyway.

I want to recommend a film to you, I forget if you saw my post on it. It's called Chihiro-san. The main character is very good at reading the air but not stressing about it, trying to live a drama free life even though all the people around her are dramatic. I really admire her. No pressure to watch it, but if you have a chance!

Also, it'd be nice to chat sometime, I think you have an interesting mind! If you are on discord I'll send you a message

Ohhhhh this is great, it makes a lot of sense.

Yeah I also need to manage what I give attention to too as it can be overwhelming sometimes.

I will definitely watch the movie as I really want to know how the main character was able to live her life.

Also, it'd be nice to chat sometime, I think you have an interesting mind! If you are on discord I'll send you a message

Alright no problem🙂

Ah I made a mistake, that’s the Japanese title. The English title is “Call Me Chihiro”
