I’ll go first: “You have to have children when you’re young,” told to me when I was in my late 20s, with no desire to ever have kids, and no means to support them, by someone divorced multiple times with at least one adult child who does not speak to them.
Also: Responding to “How do I deal with this problem?” questions with “Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s enough that you’re even thinking about it!”
“Why are you making mistakes? Just don’t make them!” - my German teacher
Like… yeah, thanks, that’s very helpful! Why didn’t I think of that?!
This advice has saved me so many times. Bless your German teacher 🙏.
As someone with ADHD, this is especially annoying. No, I’m not TRYING to fuck up. It’s not my fault my brain is actively fighting me at all times.
