A PSA:

Overestimating people isn’t inspiring. Telling them they can do things that they can’t do isn’t kind. It’s stressful. Even if you don’t mean for it to happen, they’ll feel bad that they can’t live up to your beliefs, because they feel like they should be able to. Trust people to know their limits, please.

Yes. Also like… if you’re drowning, and you’re surrounded by bystanders who are yelling, “You’re doing fine, keep going!” “I know you’re a good swimmer, I’ve seen you swim before!” “I believe in you!” That is not helpful. That is the opposite of helpful. Sometimes people just need honest to goodness concrete help instead of a pep talk.
