We’ve all had moments where we’ve joked about someone else, haven’t we? While most of us don’t do it in a mean-spirited way, it’s hard to deny that we’ve shared a laugh at another’s expense. But imagine if we shifted our default conversations to focus on uplifting each other instead of putting others down?
During a visit to a local store, Mia Carter overheard employees laughing and making snide remarks about her outfit. Instead of reacting negatively, she decided to brighten their day with a smile and later took to social media to spread some positivity.
“Just so you know, I heard your comments about my appearance and my shorts. You were loud enough for others to hear,” Mia wrote. “It’s clear this isn’t the first time you’ve had a laugh at someone else’s expense, but I want you to know that your words didn’t hurt me. The smiles on your faces when I smiled at you showed that you weren’t expecting it!”
Let’s be clear—Mia looked absolutely stunning. Yet, when faced with judgment, that shouldn’t matter. Insulting strangers is disheartening behavior, but we must acknowledge that many of us have chuckled at someone else’s expense in private circles. Even seemingly harmless jokes can create a negative energy in the world. What if we made a conscious effort to speak kindness instead?
Mia’s response has resonated widely online, garnering over 55,000 shares. “If you happen to read this, please consider being a bit kinder with your words. Not everyone has developed a thick skin like I have, and someone else might feel hurt,” she continued. “In response to your comments, I’m sending you love! If you did your own hair and make-up for work today, you both have talent. I could never achieve that perfect winged liner or ponytail!”
The store, Superdrug, acknowledged Mia’s post and committed to using it in their employee training. Importantly, she chose not to identify the workers involved, emphasizing that her goal was to promote kindness, not shaming or embarrassment.
It’s just as easy to spread positivity as it is negativity. The energy we emit tends to come back to us, and Mia’s uplifting message is a perfect example of that.
