*3) Family matters more THAN friends

Friends are the family you choose and not the ones you are stuck with.

If you are in a toxic family then also understand you don't have to be a part of it.

3 is a giant NO for a lot of us. Not upset that some people come from good/non-evil families. Just saying, some of us had to escape the hellish families we were born into.

Some things are permanent.

Overall, this list is pretty stupid.

I feel like the family one can be untrue for some people

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree on #3. Family you don't choose, your friends do.

About number 9, I don't know man, I do think that I play it safe, but it works. I see what happens around me and the terrible experiences some people get into. And don't get me wrong, I know life is risky, but I know a lot of people that is not having a good time at all cuase of some bad decisions, and it's not like they came better after it, they didn't changed and they didn't learned anything.

I disagree with #4. Abusive people don't abuse you because you don't respect yourself. That's BS.

Played it too safe? Like you mean took a job where you only have to show up and do what you are told? I have relatives who work at jobs like this when they have advanced degrees. They are way over-qualified for the gruntwork jobs they do. But they just don't want to ever be on the firing line.

You take a job with responsibilities and decisions to be made, and you become a target of everyone above and below you. I have been through this at 4 companies over 22 years. My relatives say I'm a fool because have been under seige for years when their bosses LOVE them just for showing up.

Oh boy, why didn’t anyone tell me that happiness is a choice and I’m simply not working hard enough! Im going to call my psychiatrist and therapist, I’m done with antidepressants for good. I choose to not have crippling depression. I choose for the chemicals in my brain to be balanced again. 🤩🤩

I dont agree with 3. My brother (after being my hero for 24 years) suddenly decided his family doesnt matter anymore and never calls, texts or visits without a reason (we never had a fight or whatever). He feels more than a stranger now than a brother, whereas my buddy, while occupied most of the time, will always be there for me (and vice versa)
