- Don't believe that there can't be any exceptions to the rule. For example, some people on this forum tell you to live it up, given that your youth is the last time you had consistent and authentic social interactions. While I agree that this life wisdom is generally true for most people, it does not apply to everyone. Some people don't get much dopamine from social interactions. If the word of advice doesn't apply to you, don't follow it. Do what works for you, instead of listening to the advice of people on an anonymous forum.
- Appreciate the small things in life. While there's a lot of injustice in the world, that doesn't mean you have to let it consume your life. Advocate for a better society, as it'll benefit everybody, but also focus on yourself too. There's no point going about life moping about the Gaza war. Sometimes it's best to be ambivalent to tragedies, or blissfully ignorant, as it'll be better for your mental health. Go get something tasty to eat, hike at a beautiful spot, etc.
