What does "Ugeddit" mean?
Remember when you felt heard & understood?
With your best friend, close family, or even someone you never expected.
When this happens, what words come to your mind?
“You get it”
Why does Ugeddit exist?
The problem we're noticing
There’s a global pandemic happening, but it’s not COVID-19. The things that are happening in the world are shining a light on a much older and systematically disastrous problem: violent communication.
The rising popularity of the Internet and social media has revealed that the vast majority of people have been using mindsets and behaviours that create fear, anger, and sadness; judgement, blame, and depression.
With phrases like…
- “If you don’t agree with me, then you’re the problem”
- “They’ll never understand”
- “I’m a failure, and I’ll never amount to anything”
The mindsets in these phrases involve…
- “Unclear” communication that is repeated multiple times, which prevents learning & understanding
- “Destructive” thinking & behaviours which blame, insult, and attack, which takes away life & happiness
- “Isolation” of thought & action in the form of rabbit holes, echo chambers, and silos, which weakens resilience & growth
The effects of these are seen across the world, from military conflicts, to socially-divisive political and ideologial tribalism, to online echo chambers of hate, and self-harm. And the way that social media and news have been used for short-term gain of reputation and revenue has only been compounding this problem, making it continually worse over time.
Ugeddit exists to change this.
The solution we're creating
Global awareness and adoption of clean, constructive, and collaborative communication.
- “Clean” means free of judgement, blame, and projection, where when someone is not happy about something, rather than judging it as “bad” and then looking externally to assign blame, instead they express themselves directly: what they experienced, and how they feel about it
- “Constructive” means instead of aiming to avoid, overpower, or “get rid of”, it’s about aiming to figure out what you both need to be comfortable and fulfilled
- “Collaborative” means instead of doing everything alone, you create the comfortable ways others can help that you are happy receiving and they are happy giving
These ways of communicating dissolve conflict before it grows, and clear the way for people to freely connect, grow, and flourish.
How are we creating this?

- Make difficult conversations easier

Our Clear Vision
A world where every person knows how to communicate in ways that turn pain into understanding.
A world in which people share their fears openly, supporting each other through them.
A world of people working together to turn problems into solutions.
A world with children growing up happy, capable, and free.
A world at peace, united.
"I see a world where people openly share their fears & frustrations, and help each other overcome them, so they are free to pursue their bigger goals that benefit their family, their community, their country, and even our civilization as a whole, for this generation and the next"
— Sabian Finogwar, Founder of Ugeddit
