Re: What popular wisdom/knowledge do you agree or disagree with?

Seconding most of the ones people have already said.

I'll add, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

This is true in some situations, but I strongly disagree with it as a universal rule of thumb. Negative thoughts and opinions are valid, and we should have plenty of avenues of expression open to us for those thoughts and opinions.

"Don't be relentlessly negative because it's hurtful and people won't like you." Extremely valid.

"Be sensitive to the feelings of others, and consider how your negative thoughts and opinions may hurt others if you express them out loud. Try not to hurt people." Extremely valid.

"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Fucking toxic. Negativity is valid, and being able to express it somewhere and be heard and understood by others is hugely important to many people's mental and emotional health.

Totally agree. My mom is a "negativity has no purpose and I don't want to hear it, ever" kind of person and it's so fucking frustrating.

Given how different people interpret things differently, it frequently actually translates to "Don't disagree with me about anything, ever. Even unintentionally".
