part of it is that the internet tends to be a place for socially awkward and nonconfrontational people to play out their fantasies of confronting people

There are no "real" people on the internet. It skews everyone's behavior

Different if someone (especially children) are being harmed/hurt. Otherwise; stay out of other people's business.

It would change it wtf. It would allow the person to make an informed decision. A loot of people would leave if they found out they got cheated on, so it really would change the situation.

As with just about every popular phrase/saying/etc. that this board complains about, this advice is situational and not meant to apply to literally every single human experience imaginable.

Sounds like you're having an affair or doing something you shouldn't be

It seems some people get surprised or even irritated by me when I say something like "that's none of my business" or "I want to respect personal boundaries so I don't need to know about _____" because it's like they have a bad itch to gossip and only I can scratch it for them. They aren't used to being told "no." In my mind I'm trying to treat others the way I want to be treated and avoid doing any triangulation in conflicts, and I believe if someone gossips or speaks badly about everyone else, they probably talk about you too...

I agree with the title, idk about what your description is but I believe 💯 that more people need to seriously mind their own business

Think you're overestimating the number of people who have had the same life experiences as you

OP gave a strawman example. Meddling =/= doing good

by Anonymous 5 hours ago

i don't understand what your point is here, are you saying saving people from a literal fire is meddling therefore meddling is always good or? i feel like you just wanted to tell the fire story lowkey

If people would mind their own business, most of the political spectrum would collapse.

by kyleigh66 3 hours ago

Sorry I assumed you're attractive enough to cheat on someone, obviously you were the one cheated on.

by skilesthelma 3 hours ago

Yeah, mostly it's that we're convinced we're right and like telling others so.

by Common-Composer307 3 hours ago

this might be the answer. its not about telling them, its about the person feeding their own egos of being a self righteous person

by kyleigh66 3 hours ago

No we dont

There's nothing wrong with calling out bad behavior. Sorry if that sucks,but that's just life.

Why are you so obsessed with cheating?

by Anonymous 2 hours ago

Humans are social creatures. We can't help ourselves but get involved in the lives of people around us. That's why social media makes people lonely and depressed
