Making time for yourself to do nothing sounds like a good idea, but... You just get depressed, bored, and end up questioning your existence.

Social media in general. It has become such a negative thing, a convenient way for some people to "troll" others, and too many people seem to live their entire lives online thru social media. It's insane!

All the effort I did to study, be a good kid and work for free to get experience. I was raised to believe that hard work led you to have a decent life. Such a lie.

Let’s start a family! (without doing any of the needed family planning, career planning, financial planning or life planning first.) That will turn good intentions into a very bad idea.

Getting a tattoo without considering the consequences. Yes, there are people (like me) who love all their ink. And then there are those who regret the spontaneous decision they had made years ago. Same with piercings. Not all holes will close up as "advertised".

Redecorating your house/bedroom on your own. Although it's supposed to be cheaper and you have full control over it, It's very time-consuming, difficult, and exhausting.

Let’s go to after-school martial arts classes! Every day I went in, exercised til I was tired and sore, and then played dodgeball with other kids. In addition, one of the instructors had extreme anger issues and would get upset whenever a FIRST TO THIRD GRADER didn’t meet her expectations and one of my best friends got TAPED TO A CHAIR!

mixing chemicals.
Not my story, but my dad's. He was in the coast guard, and they were docked for a few weeks. He and his buddies decided to hang out with the HazMat (hazardous Materials) crew and ended up making a small explosion. the explosion turned into a fire. Every time my dad tells this story, he always says that he doesn't think that the grass has grown in that spot since then, and it's been at least 18 years since that happened.

Listening to new music. Sounds great but I usually end up with a lot of really weird stuff and in a bad mood because I didn't curate it myself. It's a sometimes food.

'Anon' confessions/posts on various social websites. What should have been a way to get things off your chest and help others feel less alone (if they are going through something similar) just brought out the bullies who like to hide behind their keyboard.

Cars! Yes, they are very helpful and help you with tons of stuff, but they pollute the air. Even though there is now electric cars, people are still continuing to use gas powered cars. Poor Earth. :(

Letting a friend ‘stay for a few days’. They end up staying for quite some some time/ finish your food, hoard the tv remote, you have to start wearing clothes around them now. Bye bye privacy. When you can’t find something, you worry that they took it. Or you worry about worrying if they took it. Save yourself the hassle in the first place.
