I really liked this graphic that I found here: https://www.thecoachingtoolscompany.com/think-acronym-for-kinder-and-more-effective-communications/
But it’s not the only source for the THINK acronym. This source claims it was created to reduce online bullying, but I believe the idea, and probably the acronym, have been around much longer than that.
Why YSK: we can all benefit from improving our communication skills, and this is one easy way to do that. I think a lot of us want to be kind, and this can help us better achieve that goal. It’s helped me a lot!
While this is good advice it only addresses the sender’s perspective of communication. What’s missing is how to deal with people who communicate with malicious intent. You’ll wear yourself out quickly on social media if you don’t learn how to protect yourself against that, and “THINK” is only half of the equation
Exactly. This is just toxic positivity bullshit if left incomplete like that. Context matters enough that this isn’t always good advice whatsoever.
Don’t communicate with people with malicious intent.
