Thought-terminating clichés like 'it is what it is' run rampant in everyday conversation—but they may be damaging to your mental health.
"It's always darkest before the dawn.""The only way out is through."Once you start listening in for thought-terminating clichés, you will hear them everywhere .

Some of the most harmful, reductive ones can be found in the realm of mental health.
For example, if you're feeling depressed or anxious, and someone says something like,"just hang in there," you'll probably feel worse, not better.the terminology, you can identify when you is using this tactic. Then you can decide, or consider if you can communicate to your companion why these sort of phrases just aren't helpful. At the very least, you'll have a better understanding of why people feel the urge to boil things down to basic, pithy phrases.
