DUDE!! You Can't Say That

Some people think that they can just say things that pop in there head, and not think that it won't offend anyone. Well, think again. I'm gonna list some things that you should never say to anyone, and tell me what you think, okay?

1. You can't do it 
    - what the other person hears: you don't have what it takes to do it, no matter how hard you try; So why do yo even try?
why would you try to set that person up for failure? I can see that you might not want that person to have delusions or see them get hurt, but how can you judge what's good for someone? Who knows, maybe failure is the best path to get stronger.
2. Your wrong!
    - what the other person hears: You're stupid, you're nothing, you're worthless.
No one wants to be called stupid, let alone worthless. You should try to say something else like; my understanding is... try to work things out with that person.
3. As I just said before
    - what the other person hears: You don't listen to me, you're making me repeat myself, you're so annoying and dumb
This is a conversion killer. If someone asks you a question and you point out that you have already answered it, then you killing their willingness to learn.
4. Good luck!
    - what the other person hears: There's nothing you can do that will make you succeed, only luck will.
It's bad luck to say good luck, maybe you should try saying: break a leg
5. I told you so!
    - what the other person hears: you didn't listen to me, that's all your fault, I'm better than you.
When that person needs your help more than ever, don't keep tabs on who's right and who's wrong. if it were a competition, the one keeping the tabs would be the one losing.

  1. Wow, these are all totally true! I never even thought of good luck being offensive. I should start thinking about what I'm saying I guess. <3

  2. Another magazine quality post Aryn. Nice job. I do notice here some capitalization issues and proofreading stuff. Go back in and try to clean those up.

    Now, I do agree with each and every one of these expressions. I will strike them from my vocabulary!

  6. Very good idea for a post. I actually have never thought of saying good luck as a bad thing but now that I think of it, it could be offensive. Plus I always hate when someone says I told you so, it's so frustrating.
