What is something (s) you think most people fail at?

Question

tennisgirly · Accepted Answer

honestly i'd say most people fail at communicating properly... i mean when you think about it, pretty much all the issues going on in the world right now are because of misunderstandings and miscommunications. issues like wars, protests, and even things like bullying could be avoided if people would simply just talk things out and communicate with each another, whether they're the leaders of a whole country or just a teenager attending high school. literally all our problems come from misunderstandings and miscommunications, and if people could just learn to talk things out and resolve their issues and control themselves rather than letting their misunderstandings and miscommunications control them, then the world would be a much better place. and while some people might argue that humanity as a whole has gotten much better at communicating over the years due to technology and advances in education and languages, the funny thing is that we're still dealing with some of the same problems as we were hundreds of years ago.

sooo anyways, i think that one thing that most people fail at is communicating properly, whether it be communicating their thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions in the right way, which sucks because if we could only figure out how to fix this one problem, then a whole bunch of issues would suddenly become nonissues, and a whole lot of problems wouldn't be that hard to solve anymore.

sorry to be so deep, but this is just how i feel :)

Seeing other people’s perspective,

Seeing the truth in another part, being able to empathize what another person does and see where they are coming from.

People mostly assume “right” is on their side and they forget that being “right” has as many faces as there are the people.

Not finishing anything. I have known so many people that have started things, like projects, or gotten onto certain hobbies, and lost interest.

I joined a couple Facebook groups for writers, and one thing I see a lot is people who start writing a single book but never finish it or struggle because of time issues or writers' block. I even suggested a writing schedule. I write every night between 5pm to 9pm and take breaks in between of course.

The way I see it, if these people have time to play around on Facebook, they have time to write! And they struggle with just ONE book! I've written dozens! and I never always had time on my hands.

Some of the ones who do have books published, their books don't sell because they wanted to jump the gun and just get something out there, anything! and their books end up sucking! When writing a novel, a person should always spell-check, check for major grammatical errors, fact-check, do research (Especially if the book has history in it), edit, and re-edit, and proofread, and read and re-read. (And people think writing is easy)

Most people fail because they want to rush their version of perfection. Nothing has to be 100% perfect, but if a person wants to succeed, they should at least put in the effort in. Good work pays off for those who don't accept failure!

MementoMori777 · Answer

Love, many people believe that it has to be more physical and it leads to ungratefulness, greed, selfishness, anger towards each other and eventually all that leads to them falling out of love but if both people were both selfless with each other, care for each other and look out for each other, their love would grow stronger and so would their bond and connection, many people don't see love for what it is or they are lead by other intentions and blinded by them to make them believe they are in love.

RangerBlue22 · Answer

I think people fail at self control. We are more about gratifying our immediate impulses and feelings vs. self disciplining ourselves for the long term goals.

I remember my HS algebra teacher (who was a real hard ass) once gave the class a famous quote: “You don’t want to think because it HURTS to think.”

This is only gotten worse in society. Digitization has accelerated it but also our country’s leaders just blurt out sound bytes based on “feelings” vs logic. All though both sides of the political spectrum are guilty of this there is one side that is much worse from my observations.

It seems lately, being able to socialize.

I don't know if this is because of social media or just people automatically withdrawing from society as a whole but I see more and more awkward social situations.

People just finding it more difficult to socialize with one another. It's like as a whole we are all forgetting how to interact normally with each other.

Cognitive biases because there wouldn't be biases if most people weren't susceptible. Confirmation bias has to be the number 1. You expect X after you do Y. You get X-, so you think you didn't do Y well enough so you do Y+. Then you figure out eventually flowers only work once.

People fail at being parents. They fail at being husbands and wives. Nobody wants to work at relationships. Trying to get two different people to co-exist is really hard. Then raising kids is even harder. Even in the best of conditions it is a big crapshoot.

Judging. Some people judge very quickly on first sentence or first appearance they judge whole person in negative way most of the time.

Loving too. Love should be free from any kind of greed but girls want to see how wealthy a guy is before showing him, her fake love.

Anonymous · Answer

Judging other people for their sins when they are sinners themselves. Or thinking their sins aren't as bad as other people's so they feel they have a right to put others down. Like for example, a Christian ostracizing a person for being gay when the act it self of shaming someone is some nerve as well as acting like they don't have sins either. Worry about your own soul and leave other people alone.

Valso · Answer

Thinking. I'm amazed how many people fail at such a simple thing as logical thinking. There's even a meme for that which wasn't made by me but it's 100% accurate.

Yannishka · Answer

An observation on a lot of the questions.
Being openminded, seeing the other's point of view, not judging, truly listening.
For example, yesterday I met a muslim extremist who cursed at the other religions, just cursing nothing else.
