The last couple of years has helped people see more than ever the areas of their life that just aren’t healthy. We try to make changes, or to call out problems when we see them, but sometimes the world seems like it’s working against us.
Like in these 15 cases, whens society seems to look the other way even though toxic behaviors are going on right under our noses.
15. It’s not an excuse.
As someone with autism, using neurodivergency as an excuse for your actions.
Its never an excuse to do crappy things, it could only sometimes be a reason for them, like if you have autism and you say something very offensive to someone and then use your autism as an excuse then that’s a genuinely crappy thing to do like i mean sure u can misread some social cues but we know enough common sense to not be a downright jerk.
14. It’s just wrong.
Using your kids to shore up your own online presence, like posting photos and videos of them being pranked or embarrassed.
13. We need to relax.
Hustle/Grind culture.
They try to act like the constant, mindless pursuit of more wealth is healthy and justified, but they never say why. In reality, the pursuit of wealth at all costs will leave most people unhappy and overworked, longing for a time where they made less money and actually enjoyed their lifestyle.
At its extremes, it’s a mental illness. We have people like Kevin Hart shilling any stupid product, wasting his limited lifetime for some money that won’t improve his life one iota.
12. Nobody wants a rude friend.
The “I just say what’s on my mind” mentality, without thinking about how rude their comments can be.
But they justify it because “I say it like it is”
11. All the gaslighting.
Bullying and abuse, disgustingly enough. It’s normally accompanied with a not so healthy dose of gaslighting.
10. It’s not right.
Hitting your kids.
Emotional and mental abuse is also excused as “parenting” Taking doors off rooms, cameras to watch your older kids, snooping, guilt tripping, making decisions for them, etc.
Excusing bad behavior from older people because “that’s how it was in their time” or whatever. They have been alive this whole time with the rest of us and should have taken in new information and grown their mind a bit. I don’t have all the same opinions I did ten years ago so why should they have the same ones from 50?
9. Corny and cringe.
Acting gangster I’m sorry but that shit is corny and cringe seriously especially when I know someone grow up in the suburbs and are acting like they came from the ghetto
8. More everything.
Consuming – celebrating the need for more everything, and putting people who have the most on a pedestal no matter what type of person they are.
7. A serious problem.
Alcoholism and the behaviors with it still seem the common place along with giving people a pass.
6. It’s not about you.
Expressing outrage or offense on a 3rd parties behalf to derail a conversation or to make it about placating them.
5. I hope people don’t do this anymore.
Telling girls that if boys are mean to them that the boys must have a crush on them.
4. It is a big deal.
Bullying. They will pass it off as “such and such were just kidding or teasing”.
3. Do the math.
CEOs making record annual bonuses while everyone else makes peanuts.
I have always believed companies should have a limit on executive pay/bonuses in relation to lowest pay.
So if the lowest pay in the company is 30k the highest pay can only be 100x at 3 million. Want to make more- raise the pay floor.
2. We hates it.
How corporate America looks down on pregnant workers and having kids. All they see is decreased productivity instead of treating new parents or parents-to-be as humans.
I know we’ve gotten better, but it’s still bad out there for a lot of people.
1. Sometimes it’s not ok.
Society still makes excuses for “toxic positivity”, which involves pretending everything is ok even when it clearly isn’t.
Can’t we all agree to start calling these out when we see them?
