What’s the worst advice that anyone has ever given you?

I think the worst advice is just be yourself. That's something you can say when you're already popular or well adjusted or you just fit into the social system somehow. But to somebody that's struggling with those things it's completely useless. It's one of those things that sounds like it's advice it sounds well meaning but it doesn't help at all. There's quite a few of these kind of things people say that sound deep in some way but actually have no substance.

Also for me at least the idea that you should like your job have a dream job that can be the wrong way to go. Because usually companies underpay and overwork in the jobs that people naturally want to be in. I don't know I just think you need to have a balanced view of these things maybe focus more on what you can actually provide the world something that's needed instead of what you want. Because nobody is going to give you a job just because it's what you've always wanted. I had other difficulties in my life anyway so I don't think it would've made a huge difference but I could've seen the situations more clearly at least.

I liked a girl in 5th grade. I was a bit naive and not the most socially aware person. I was set up by some older boys. They told me if I was bold and told a girl how amazing I think her butt looks in her pants that she would think it's cute.

I can still remember how hard that girl smacked me lol

People saying it gets easier as baby gets older. Like seriously? I like to know when exactly this happens because the infant/ toddler sleep deprivation is a 1000x worse than the newborn sleep deprivation. A newborn just lays there. An infant / toddler pull your hair, refuse to sleep. They bite. Half the time you never know what exactly they want because they get there crying for one thing and you give it to them and they cry more because they no longer want it. Not forgetting having to constantly chase after them to get them out of things or to stop them from climbing things that could fall over because the landlord won’t allow you to anchor anything.

"Listen to your parents. They are above than god's. They sacrifice so much for you so never do something what gives them pain. Never hurt them"

This is the worst advice I have recieved and blindly followed.

On one of my becoming a man birthdays, I had a sibling tell me to “act my age.” On the actual day.. As far as I knew I was very mature for my age and had been complimented by many friends of my parents about it. Another sibling (also same day), had told me to take some advice from them. No one was really telling me to have fun and enjoy myself, so for me, this was the worst advice on the worst day possible. I didn’t take their advice LOL

My mother telling me “oh don’t worry about getting the right woman. One day the she will come along for you and everything will work out fine.”

My mother was born a beautiful woman who never had to take a romantic risk nor deal with rejection in her entire life. She had absolutely zero idea to know what dating was like for most young men nor did she ever put any mental effort into it.

Not to care about height. At least not that I'm shorter than most women, because they don't care about height. I knew she was bullshitting me, because her next sentence was about how it was hard for her to find a guy taller than her (she married a guy taller than her).

Marriage, house, kids, in order while building a career. Why? Says who? Yes it builds wealth and stability but does it ALWAYS build happiness? My observations of people says hell no.

“If you fail, try try again”  Okay that’s great except it’s not helping me solve for why I always keep failing in the first place.

College is about having fun. Your 20s are about having fun. Anyone who says this is setting themselves up for debt and failure

When someone did you bad you got to did them bad too, like a revenge. It’s so ugly. Personally I think revenge is ugly. Why not be the bigger person?
