There is a lot of bad advice I’ve received over the years:
- you don’t need to go to a good university, this one (low tier uni in my country) is fine.
- don’t fight bullies back.
But the worst is not receiving bad advice, but receiving no advice at all, and staying in a dead-end job and city for too many years. Having no emotional support early in life leaves yourself “damaged” and gives you a cynical view of the world.
- BizarroLand 2y agoThe worst is when you finally quit that dead end job | end that toxic relationship | start the business you've been dreaming of | write that book you're planning and your friends suddenly start telling you how glad they are that you finally figured out the bad thing was hurting you. Could have used that info while I was in the middle of it, my dude. Tell the people you care about when they are doing it wrong. If they can't see it, they will appreciate the outside viewpoint. If they can't take it, they're not good friends.

It’s rarely that simple. People are really bad at being told what to do, and will often double down. Especially in bad relationships. Usually the best you can do is be there for them when they do decide to fix things on their own.
- zepolen 2y agoHaha if you think that works and you wouldn't be calling your friends assholes.
