Secret Revealed: The 2 Things Most People HATE to Say

Studies show there are two things most people hate saying the most.

Want to know what they are?

Are you ready?

Here goes...

People hate saying:

"I was wrong"
"I'm sorry"

To be honest, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. People seemingly are becoming more selfish and arrogant by the day. It seems the headlines are mostly dominated by news of robberies, hit-and-run accidents where the driver didn't so much as stop to help the pedestrian who was stuck, and more. Ours is a culture that revolves around "me, me, and me" -- one in which greed and self-absorption rule the day.

Why is it so difficult for people to fess up to their mistakes and apologize? Why must people be so stubborn and selfish?

One of the qualities I value most about myself is my humility. I own up to my mistakes and apologize for them.

But most people just aren't like this. Rather than admit their mistakes, they point fingers and throw others under the bus.

I can't stand people who refuse to be humble. Like the saying goes, "to err is to be human," but some people seem to think they're infallible.

Big egos are everywhere, and I try my best to steer clear of individuals who possess one.

Do you agree that the world would be a better place if people admitted their flaws more freely?

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it? After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n...

The 1 good thing cheaters do for us

Nothing good could come of a relationship marred by infidelity, right? The heartache, the shock, the feeling of one's trust being violated. In the short-term, being cheated on can turn one's world upside down. But eventually, there may be a light awaiting the cheated at the end of the tunnel. If you really think about it, cheaters end up doing us a huge favor. In their selfishness and disloyalty, they end up showing us that we deserve better. If you're so unfortunate as to be a victim of such acts of betrayal, you can only hope the cheater is considerate enough to own up to their missteps. But we all know full well that, in many cases, the cheater is either caught in the act or leaves behind a trail of hints that ultimately culminates in their undoing. The more classy thing to do is to discuss their feelings openly with their partner before straying. If all talks lead to an impasse or a further escalation of tensions, both parties should take it as a ...
