Telling someone they should just pray about something instead of actually doing something to change things.

follow your passion.' it's a great way to end up completely broke and hating the thing you used to love. it's perfectly fine to have a boring, stable job that just pays the bills and funds your actual hobbies outside of work.

I'm lucky enough that my passion since I was 7 has been programming \^.^

Telling someone to leave their partner based off a one sided post with barely any context

Dear Listnook my girlfriend just gave me a billion dollars because she said I was cute and wanted to make sure I am never hungry. I love her so much  Listnook response: that's a red flag you should totally break up with her. No one would ever give someone money because they care about them. The only reason they would give money is to manipulate and have power over you

Throwing caution to the wind and acting on a feeling without seriously considering the consequences

And the inverse of overanalyzing a good thing

‘Work through issues in relationships instead of just leaving them’ Sometimes yes, this works, when it comes to minor things. I’ve had people tell me this after I’ve been cheated on, or assaulted, or made extremely uncomfortable

the whole "just think positive" thing can be super toxic; sometimes you gotta acknowledge your feelings instead of just pushing them down, ya know? it’s okay to not be okay.

"Just be yourself" I dunno about that, is that what we'd tell Dahmer? Bundy?

Dahmer tried hard to hide and repress that shit, maybe if he’d gone to a therapist he’d have gotten help lol Nah sometimes ya gotta contain ya self. I agree with.

"Men love the chase." No, we don't. We have better things to put our efforts towards.

That and it’s evil twin, “just keep trying, eventually s/he’ll see how good you are for each other”. Adults don’t want to chase or be chased.

Buy now, pay later. Anything where you take a loan out to purchase.

There is a right side and a wrong side, learnt that it’s more complex than that for some situations as a kid. Shit is complicated at times, ya won’t get a simple right or wrong answer.

He’s like marmite I guess, you either love him or you hate him. Although I’m in the middle tbh, I agree with some things he says but disagree with others. People can agree with what he says without being shitty people.

All the misinformation regarding vaccines. (Yes, some people have medical conditions where they can't be vaccinated for certain things. Doesn't mean it applies to every person.)

This anti-vax bs is gonna kill a lot more people in the future.
