Hey Pandas, What Is The Best Advice You Have Ever Received? (Closed)

Tell us what the best advice you've ever been given, when it was, and how it's the best.

My uncle gave me this piece of advice many times over the years and it has become a bit of a motto to me.

There is no shame in ignorance. The only real shame is willingly choosing to remain ignorant.

I once asked someone “What’s even the point of still being alive?” And they responded with “You can make garlic bread whenever you want.”

Aw, that's sweet. I'll have to remember that when I'm down.

"Don't try to fight against the monster ( my depression), try to speak to it, try to speak with yourself and understand". It may sounds weird, but it allowed me to stop physically hurting myself after years of tears, screams, and blood on my arms.

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but when I feel myself spiraling, manic thoughts playing on a loop in my head, I started to write them down. Not my feelings, (although I do keep a journal), but the specific thought. For example, this is the most recent time I did this, a couple of weeks ago I had a really bad day at work. It was very busy, and I was tired and fried. I made a few mistaks, nothing catastrophic, but it was one of those days you can't dig yourself from the avalanche. For hours after work I couldn't relax and I kept playing the day over and over, feeling embarrassed for messing up. So I wrote down whatever crazy thoughts I had swirling around. 'I'm so stupid', 'they think I'm stupid', 'they hate working with me', etc. Actually watching myself writing these thoughts, reading them over grounds me. In that case I remembered that I wasn't being fair to myself, its nonsense! Would I think that about someone else that was having a bad day, was off? No!

Always trust your gut. We have had some of our natural instincts trained out of us in the name of politeness. But always trust your intuition. If your gut says something is wrong, then something is wrong!

If you REALLY like someone, sometimes it's best to keep them as a friend instead of trying to make it into something more.
