*3) Family matters more THAN friends

Friends are the family you choose and not the ones you are stuck with.

If you are in a toxic family then also understand you don't have to be a part of it.

3 is a giant NO for a lot of us. Not upset that some people come from good/non-evil families. Just saying, some of us had to escape the hellish families we were born into.

The problem is, that people who come from good families are simply incapable of understanding, that there are bad (or straight out hellish) families too.

Some things are permanent.

Overall, this list is pretty stupid.

Deaths. After your pet or friend dies they are always dead now. SO that would be one.

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree on #3. Family you don't choose, your friends do.

I feel like the family one can be untrue for some people

I disagree with #4. Abusive people don't abuse you because you don't respect yourself. That's BS.

Oh boy, why didn’t anyone tell me that happiness is a choice and I’m simply not working hard enough! Im going to call my psychiatrist and therapist, I’m done with antidepressants for good. I choose to not have crippling depression. I choose for the chemicals in my brain to be balanced again. 🤩🤩

About number 9, I don't know man, I do think that I play it safe, but it works. I see what happens around me and the terrible experiences some people get into. And don't get me wrong, I know life is risky, but I know a lot of people that is not having a good time at all cuase of some bad decisions, and it's not like they came better after it, they didn't changed and they didn't learned anything.

yup, survivorship bias. The people who didn't "play it too safe" aren't here anymore to say otherwise (or are have fucked up so bad they've got more problems than refuting this guy's bs image)

Played it too safe? Like you mean took a job where you only have to show up and do what you are told? I have relatives who work at jobs like this when they have advanced degrees. They are way over-qualified for the gruntwork jobs they do. But they just don't want to ever be on the firing line.

You take a job with responsibilities and decisions to be made, and you become a target of everyone above and below you. I have been through this at 4 companies over 22 years. My relatives say I'm a fool because have been under seige for years when their bosses LOVE them just for showing up.

I dont agree with 3. My brother (after being my hero for 24 years) suddenly decided his family doesnt matter anymore and never calls, texts or visits without a reason (we never had a fight or whatever). He feels more than a stranger now than a brother, whereas my buddy, while occupied most of the time, will always be there for me (and vice versa)
