Sit down, friend, because I’m about to hand you some of the best pieces of advice you’ll ever receive.
Redditor u/holdmymeatpipe asked Reddit:
“What is an absolute truth that no one wants to hear?”
And while my personal favorite is TURN YOUR FRIGGING MUSIC OFF IN PUBLIC, there are so many gems in here that they’re all worth reading.
1. Challenge yourself
You need to have your views challenged. Being around and positively engaging with people who disagree with you is one of the healthiest intellectual practices we can do.
2. Family
Just because someone is related to you doesn’t mean they are a good person.
3. Control
You can’t control what happens to you, only how you react to it.
4. Love
Just because you love someone it doesn’t mean they will love you back. No matter how hard you try to get them to, they just won’t.

5. Turn it down
No one wants to hear your shitty music anywhere.
6. See? Nobody cares.
Your spouse/child/home/job/vacation, etc. is not nearly as important to anyone else as it is to you.
7. Knowledge
We don’t know everything and probably never will.
8. It’s easier
Life is easier for attractive people.
9. There’s jerks in these hills
No matter how nice you are, people will still just be assholes to you just cuz.

10. You won’t be remembered
There’s going to be a day where you are totally forgotten by everyone.
11. Hypocritical
Everyone’s a hypocrite. Even you.
12. You aren’t special
You are always replaceable.
13. Doesn’t always apply
Not every “real talk”, “tough to swallow pill”, or “harsh truth” that you have to offer someone is going to be accurate to them, or their situation.
14. Uplift
That you need to uplift others to improve society and the world
15. Someone better
There is always someone better than you
16. It all evens out
Everyone you love will die. Everyone you hate will die. Everything ends.
17. Deal
That there are people who won’t like you or agree with you and you won’t be able to change their mind so you just have to deal with it
18. No one is at the wheel
No one is at the wheel. There is no one leading the planet, just powerful people, companies, and countries all struggling together against everyone else for power, money, and control.
19. Kids
All children are innocent, but they’re not all good. Some people will grow up to be fucking assholes regardless of what they’re exposed to.
20. It’s all bad
Things are going to keep getting worse on our planet and we are in for some serious human tragedy.
