For me, here are a few pieces of advice that I just can’t get behind anymore:
- "Just think positive." – Yeah, that’s great when you’re feeling okay, but sometimes you need to sit with your emotions and deal with them, not just ignore them with a smile.
- "You’ll find someone when you stop looking." – Honestly, that’s just frustrating. I don’t think putting your life on pause and waiting for things to happen magically is the answer.
- "Everything happens for a reason." – Sometimes, things just happen. Not everything has some hidden meaning or purpose. It can be a bit dismissive, honestly.
- "You should go out more, meet people." – If I’m not feeling up to it, I’m not going to suddenly feel better just because I “get out there.” Sometimes, staying in is exactly what I need.
Anyone else have advice like this that just doesn’t sit right with you?
