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...

An important note to women about men and attraction

I was raised by my mom, grandma, and two older sisters. Growing up, never did I ever take any interest in the girls at school who tended toward exposing more skin. I always treated them as I would my female family members -- with the utmost courtesy and respect. And anytime I suspected that a male friend or acquaintance of mine adopted a hump-and-dump attitude toward women, I nixed them from my life. I held men who treated women as objects in very low regard, and still do to this day. If women feel empowered to show off their bodies because they love and work hard on their physique, more power to them. In other words, if they're doing it to please THEMSELVES and no one else, good for them. However, those who do it specifically to curry men's favor are making a big mistake. It sends the wrong signals and actually makes it less likely that a man will want to stick around for a committed relationship (if that's what you want as anyway). Granted, if you're not lookin...
