I regret every decision I make the first month. I just hate change. But after that month things get better. I felt regret when I got my cat, when I left my awful job, when I started my good job, when I started dating my bf. I always regret making changes, but after a while I can enjoy the benefits and I truly enjoy my choices.

That is absolutey the worst advice I have ever heard. Firstly everyone and every situation is totally different. Secondly you could have a shitty week for thousand of reasons, it doesn't mean things won't change drastically. Thirdly, advising people that giving up after one week in any situation is a good life tip is completey the reverse. If you give up things before you have barely tried you will have a crap life where you just don't bother. This really is some crap advice.

Things always work out in the end. If they aren't worked out yet, you're not at the end yet.

I could not disagree with this advice more. I moved away from the city I was born and hated it for the first few months because I had no friends. I eventually made friends and settled in, I consider moving to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I started a new job two years ago and I was incompetent for the first few months. One of my peers I worked closely with (we are around the same age) was very hard to deal with at first, I had no clue how to joke around with him or really even just interact with him in a positive way, I now consider him one of my closest friends.

There’s a learning curve and adjustment period to anything new you will encounter, whether it’s people or a major life change. Just because it feels crappy or uncomfortable at first doesn’t mean it will always be that way. There’s obviously blatant exceptions to this if you are meeting a truly terrible person or starting an awful job where your direct superior is screaming at you during your first week, ect… But just because you had a bad week or interaction with doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to be forever. Basing any major decision you make off of such a small sample size seems significantly more risky.
