“Best advice I heard was don’t listen.”

- Cousin Stizz

Don’t value the experiences of others over your own.

You’ll end up in a never ending loop of trying to change instead of working on your own path.

People largely don’t give a crap about you.

For myself I had to leave my hometown to be happy. And like that everything was easier. I had an amazing partner and a better commute.

You don’t need to validate yourself vs the opinions of others.

Eh, this is kind of messy. There are some people that have lived objectively bad lives. Horrible parents, terrible abuse, no education, etc. These kinds of lives can easily lead to traps of "the world is shit, don't even try". Worse you've only ever been taught detrimental things, so your own advice/experience is bad.

Really easy to end up in generational traps this way.
