“What Tip Or Piece Of Advice Do You Constantly See That You Strongly Disagree With?” (31 Answers)

And they live for you, even if they don't always know how to show it--they would be heartbroken to know you feel this way. If you want to help them, help yourself, and show them what it means to truly live. You are worthwhile. You are loved. Don't let your own self-worth get so low that you drag them down--it will happen, even if neither you nor them realizes. Please get help, and please know that you are loved!

“What Tip Or Piece Of Advice Do You Constantly See That You Strongly Disagree With?” (31 Answers)

Because sometimes saying something out loud, especially to faceless strangers on the internet, gives some people a little relief. And sometimes the advice or simply knowing there are other people out there that feel the same makes them feel not so alone.

I was the adopted kid so I always lowkey got the bad end of the stick but Christmas 9 years ago was the worst. My grandparents were loaded, my parents, not so much. My parents told me they couldn’t afford to keep me on a phone plan and come to find out it was because they were on my grandparents phone plan. I really wanted an iPhone 6 so I would finally have a reliable phone when I was working, driving ect, and I was willing to pay my part of the monthly bill, I just needed someone to buy it for me because at 16 I couldn’t get it on my own. So Christmas comes around and I got a small box wrapped up and it was an iPhone6 box and I was so excited I started screaming and hugging my grandparents, so I ripped it open and inside was a note that said “never judge a book by it’s cover”. I didn’t cry that day but I cried for weeks following. My grandpa recorded it and posted it on Facebook and still, 9 years later, shares it every Christmas for people to laugh at. I don’t remember anything else I got for that Christmas but I do remember my cousins getting a lot of really great stuff from their list that year. It still upsets me, but that’s ok.

My husband is an incredible human and talented at many things - but he gave me a truly hilarious gift once! For our very first Christmas together, 2004, we were young and broke (22, in grad school). He was so excited to give me my gift and he presented it proudly in front of my family. He got me a mini sampler of perfumes, a book, and a box of high-end chocolates. These are all great gifts on their own, but ironically, 1.) I’m allergic to most perfumes/colognes, 2.) he had already given me the exact same book a few months earlier for my birthday, and 3.) I’m lactose intolerant. I was honestly touched by the thought, but the irony was too much - my sister burst out laughing. It’s still a joke in our family, but we were all so charmed by the fact that he’d gone to multiple stores and was so proud. Poor, sweet guy. We’re happily married now…but he definitely knows to avoid chocolate and perfume!

Hey Pandas, What Was The Worst Pain You Ever Experienced As A Child?

I fractured my wrist in third grade on picture day. I was in a cast for a long time, but compared to the stuff on this list I was fine. And besides the initial pain, and the embarrassing sympathy that teachers gave me, and the fact that my mom didn't come pick me up for an hour because she didn't receive the school's phone call, it was a great day. I got to pick out a cool cast, my picture turned out great, and I ate an entire Subway sandwich one-handed!
