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!

    “Hey! You bike is getting stolen!”

    Is it true - yes. Is it helpful - to the owner, yes; to the thief, no. Is it inspiring - no, not really.

    Okay, let’s stay silent.

    It’s just a joke, don’t kill me.

      Is it true ? No

      Is it helpful ? I guess it’s the top comment so yes

      Is it inspiring ? Well is it now nullify3112 ?

      Is it necessary ? I would argue, is anything necessary?

      Is it kind? Absolutely
