<p>What would life be like if we all spoke our minds?** Uh oh. Typo. </p>
<p>Imagine if every thought you ever had, you spoke aloud. No inhibitions or second thoughts. You just blurted out everything. </p>
<p>I don’t mean randomly, as if you’re talking to your Math teacher, and suddenly announce that you want some Waffles. But you’re talking to said Math teacher, and he says that you’re having a pop quiz, and you shout out “OH COME ON, YOU FILTHY BUNGALOW.” Or you’re talking to your “interest” or crush, and you’re discussing… locker combinations, and you burst out in an array of Shakespeare Sonnets. </p>
<p>I think it would be horrible. And hilarious. At the same time.</p>
<p>It’d be horrible in some ways…such as when someone is annoying you. But I think that could be helpful in some ways as well. Such as if your crush likes you back, but you didn’t know. If people said what was on their minds, then maybe people wouldn’t get stepped over all the time. People wouldn’t lie to each other. The world would be a crueler place, but a nicer one at the same time.</p>
<p>No, I’d be busting out in Shakespeare’s soliloquies in the middle of Blockbuster … to be or not to be, that is the question … the calamity of so long life …</p>
<p>I honestly think life would be so much better. People wouldn’t freak out as much over things, lower rates of bully related suicide since everyone would be use to the cruelness. I wish people would, it would make life so much more bearable and interesting.</p>
<p>You mean like if people had spoken their minds ever since the very beginning when humans first developed complex languages?? Wow. I think humanity would have survived still, like we did without constantly speaking our minds, but I think the structure of society would probably be totally different today than it is now due to the evolution of society would proceeding down a very different path.</p>
<p>If humanity abruptly started speaking their minds now, on the other hand, always and with no inhibitions and second thoughts, than society might very well be at a * serious * risk of collapse, and the human species might be in danger. Just imagine the chaos. I don’t see how we would be able to collectively find a new, stable way to live that would be compatible with such a drastic change in human communication before irreparable damage was done.</p>
<p>people would start ignoring what others had to say</p>
<p>do you really want to know everything that goes through someone else’s mind? a lot of times they’re holding back because what they’re thinking about wouldn’t interest you.</p>
<p>people would obviously be more straightforward and you’d be able to see your own flaws. don’t think it’d be necessarily bad for our society, except for the ridiculous amount of interruptions there’d be in conversations haha</p>
<p>I feel like people would grow up getting used to it. I mean, if you’re accustomed to people constantly insulting you to your face, you probably wouldn’t be terribly offended. And admitting something weird we’d normally keep secret wouldn’t be embarrassing.</p>
