There is nothing more frustrating than the things we cannot say, but desperately want to.

Sometimes, we might find ourselves in situations where we are positively desperate to speak up, but for whatever reason can't.

Even though we know deep down, that people will be better off, or things might run more smoothly if we said something.

Redditor MCKlassik was curious to hear the things that people would benefit from hearing, but will likely never be told, leading them to ask:

"What is something most people need to hear but no one has the guts to tell people?"


Think twice before having children

"Some people aren't fit to be parents."- Busy_Quail1725

"A baby will not save your failing relationship."

"Some parents do not love their children."- Optimal-Green9561

When they blame their ex for the break up.

"Sometimes, it is you and not them."- Ok_String_6735

Don't let the smile fool you

"Just because someone is smiling does not mean that they are happy."

"Smiling is also a sign of nervousness or discomfort."- redge9987

Don't always let you feelings guide you

"Your feelings are important, but they can also lead you astray."

"Listen to them, but question them as well to see where you might be wrong."- PapiSurane

No one likes a know it all

"Not everyone needs to hear your opinion on everything."

"It's ok to have an unexpressed thought."

"Yes, I am aware of the irony expressing this thought."- Futurenazgul

Enough with the self pity

"Who you are is not who you are doomed to be."- Smart_Walk8237

When they're one egg short of a dozen

"You need to develop critical thinking and reasoning skills."- balaclavaloungeparty

When their scent precedes them.

"You should take a shower."- SatanOnLSD

In some cases, it might be worse not to say something, especially if it might actually help their situation.

But when that isn't the case, it's probably best to suck up our pride, and keep our big mouths shut.

Time and time again, people spreading lies about others for no reason has demonstrated the lack of humanity in our gossip-obsessed society.

People have nothing better to do other than to bring down others out of spite.

What's even more disappointing is that some of us have at one point played a part in perpetuating these rumors without even knowing it.

And other times, we are the subject of a rumor, and that's never fun.

It's a teacher's job to leave a lasting impression and set a good example for their students.

With this in mind, particularly in this age of viral videos and social media, teachers have to be very careful of what they say during class hours.

Even so, there are very few teachers who haven't said something they've regretted when teaching a class.

Sometimes to control unruly students, other times when they've simply had enough.

Then too, sometimes teachers leave their students baffled and perplexed by what they say in their classroom, well aware of what they were saying.

Always making for a memorable story.

People Who've Had A Serious Illness Describe The Exact Moment They Knew Something Was Really Wrong

As a kid, I never raised alarm bells even when I started to feel sick. My mom got stressed easily and was busy taking care of my younger brother, so I never wanted to be a burden by making her take me to the doctor only to find out nothing was wrong.

However, in fifth grade, my ears started to hurt and I knew something was wrong. I told my mom, she took me to the doctor, and I found out I had an ear infection.

Now, an ear infection isn't serious at all, and it was easily treatable. Still, I learned something from that experience: no one knows your body better than you. You know if and when you're sick and how serious it is, even if you don't now exactly what is wrong.

Redditors can corroborate this. Many of them have experienced symptoms that told them they were sick in some way -- usually with a very serious illness -- and are ready to share those experiences.

When in the beginning stages of dating, it's important to know as much as humanly possible.

The element of surprise is no longer a fun aspect of romance.

Ask the small questions. Ask the hard questions.

Interrogate. Grill. Investigate.

Of course, you should do it with a subtle hand instead of an interrogation lamp.

The truth is all we have.

Ask everything.
