Shut your mouth

If you are one of those many people who have I-don't-think-of-others-when-I'm-shooting-my-mouth-off Syndrome, please just shut your mouth.

Seriously, do everyone around you a favor and just don't talk until you have considered how your words may be affecting other people. Lately, a lot of my friends have been hurt because someone said something careless, and said speaker probably didn't even realize they said something hurtful. One careless comment that is forgotten in one second by the speaker will leave the person that got hurt crying and obsessing over it later. It's not that hard to just watch what you say!

You know what kind of people are especially susceptible to I-don't-think-of-others-when-I'm-shooting-my-mouth-off Syndrome? Males who are out to prove how much testosterone they have. It doesn't even matter if they really have any. They just need to prove to the world how freaking manly they are by making some insulting comment that they think is witty. Guess what? It's not funny. No one is laughing and no one thinks that you are any more of a man for saying it. Now you are just a douche.

If you have been a victim of I-don't-think-of-others-when-I'm-shooting-my-mouth-off Syndrome, please just put it out of your mind. People are just careless and self-centered, so they probably weren't even thinking when they made the comment. Don't put any store into it. Do you really want to pay attention to someone who doesn't have balls anyway?
