TELLING PEOPLE

Topic Explanation:
The initial topic text discusses the challenges of discussing and dealing with stomas, and the author's approach of being open, upfront, and humorous about it.

Advice and Insights:
- Being open, upfront, and amusingly entertaining about the issues surrounding stomas can help educate others and reduce stigma.
- Humor and entertainment can be effective ways to educate and achieve understanding, as many people are receptive to these approaches.
- Different people have different reasons for being on the site, and everyone's approach to their condition and sharing their experiences is unique.
- Sharing experiences and perspectives openly can help others and provide support.
- The approach to discussing stomas might differ if it was a result of an emergency situation rather than a planned procedure.
- The forum is not the most appropriate place for a more generalized discussion about broader issues, but it's a good platform to support and comment on posts where people are being bullied because of their condition.
