10 useless advice that is better buried forever

“Pseudo-wisdom” has reached the peak of its popularity. A woman gave birth to a child and has now become a specialist in pediatrics and pedagogy; someone read a smart book on business and drew their own conclusions about the universe. And nothing would happen if all that knowledge was kept to oneself, which is why some people just can’t live without telling others how to act. Most of the advice from these “pseudo-wise men” is just not helpful, and prevents others from getting out of their own situations.

O awesome.club invites you to know the 10 most useless tips you’ve probably been given. Or do you usually give this advice to others? If so, it’s time to stop it!

Neglecting one’s experiences can be just as harmful as diving into them. There will always be people who, at first glance, lead a worse life than you. But this cannot be an excuse to poke your nose into other people’s things and, at the cost of this contrast, try to raise your own self-esteem.

Do you want to change? So it’s worth helping someone who really needs it. But before that, first make sure you don’t fall for some professional beggars.

If a colleague gives you this advice before a test, then it’s good to hear it. If there are arguments and confrontations in your family, letting go of the situation means that things happen as they happen, without interfering with them. Of course, it’s also possible to go to the other extreme, exaggerating things, dragging your spouse to mandatory weekly appointments with a family psychologist. But if you are not satisfied with your family life, start with yourself, without the expectation that your changes will be noticed immediately by others.

The recommendation to take vitamins can only be made by a doctor, and only after passing certain tests first. Suggestions for a sports-focused diet only have the right to be given by professionals who are experts in the field. Of course, one can advise someone to drink fresh juices. But, again, it is necessary to emphasize that the level of acidity in the stomach is different in each individual, so that what some people take in the morning can cause heartburn and heartburn in others, who will remember you, and badly, for a good time.

Shopping can really distract you if you’ve had a bad experience, but it’s much more useful to do it in the company of a friend, preferably a cheerful and upbeat person. Here, the main thing is not the dress, but the process. If you start walking around the mall alone, nothing will improve, and the risk of making too many hot-headed purchases can generate a very high cost, which later on can bother you even more.

Nobody likes to deserve something bad, and when you hear typical phrases like “You have to face it” there is this feeling that you are bothering your interlocutor and he doesn’t want to assume or even talk about the problem. Therefore, only two things can happen at this point: the person in front of you is not your true friend, or you complain too much instead of trying to find a solution to your problems.

It’s great if your interlocutor is a psychologist, and after this phrase he describes to you several options for analyzing the experience of past mistakes and the methods to follow in order to forgive yourself and others. But if this is said by a friend who is an auto mechanic or an accounting partner, then we are talking about a suggestion with an empty background, not to mention useless.

Really? It’s possible? Even those who usually give this kind of advice know that if a person doesn’t suffer to the fullest, if he doesn’t get to the bottom of that pain, he won’t be able to start over to recover a normal life. Therefore, the best response to this recommendation can only be: “And normal advice, do you have any?”.

Again, we can’t bet all the chips on that person who read two smart books and now imposes methods on everyone around him. The same applies here as for vitamins: the strategy must be selected for each specific case. If you managed to stop smoking thanks to a book, it doesn’t mean that it will be the same for another. But yes, you can be impressed by a movie about cattle and stop eating meat. Strategies should be recommended by those who have information about many things, not those who know just a few things.

“Even if someone knocked you down, there are still two ways out”: it seems that fans of giving advice have not heard this folk wisdom. It’s much easier to talk about destiny than to forge your own luck with your hands. But, as is well known, the darkest night precedes the coming of the brightest dawn, and if a person is really going after his dreams, he must arm himself with all the willpower to find new ways, or become a pioneer and not a simple passerby.

Neither in the field of relationships, nor when it comes to finding your destiny, this advice can be applied. At most, at work and by the project director. If you think you’re going in the wrong direction, if you don’t like what you’re doing, just stop and ask yourself the question: am I doing what I like and with the right person? There is only one life, and it is very important to stop and “think” so as not to regret the missed opportunities when reaching old age.

What advice do you find completely useless? Or maybe you are sinning and giving this kind of suggestion? Leave your opinion in the comments.
