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?

    I actually am guilty of using that when people try to tell me “there’s someone out there for everyone.” Or “don’t worry, you’ll find someone who loves you for you.”

    Like no? Life isn’t fair, there’s no guarantee of anything.

    To your point I agree though, discussing what we’d like to improve is important.

      “You’ll find someone who loves you for you,” is totally true, as long as you are also continuously lowering your standards until you find them.
