“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me.” We’ve all heard the saying, but some people would argue it’s not correct. Words are powerful. It’s so important to mind what you say. Even when you’re making jokes.
Redditor u/blueisnotcreative proved that certain remarks can be incredibly hurtful. She asked the AITA community if she’s a jerk for joking about her formerly overweight friend. He didn’t find her ‘humor’ to be very funny. Neither did the members of the online group, who made sure to share their honest thoughts in the comments.
