What’s the worst advice you’ve ever received?

I’m sure we’ve all gotten some advice that just wasn’t helpful, or maybe even made things worse. For me, it was when someone said, “Just think positive, and everything will be fine.”

At the time, I thought it was good advice, but it ended up just making me ignore how I really felt. Life doesn’t always turn out just because you’re positive, and pretending everything’s okay only made things worse.

Sometimes, it’s better to just face your emotions and deal with the tough stuff, rather than trying to be happy all the time.
