One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    It’s been a millenium since I’ve heard it, as I no longer qualify as young.

    But

    “You’ll understand when you’re older”

    I’m older.

    I’m thirty.

    The only thing I “understand” is that all the rules are arbitrary as all fuck, society was made up by idiots with giant sticks up their arses, and everyone should go fuck themselves.

    The only “progress” I made is that I stopped hating myself for “failing at society” and started hating society for failing so many people.
