What brutal advice should all younger generations know? (lemmy.world)

sometimes, the most valuable lessons are the harshest ones. What’s a piece of brutal, no BS advice you think every younger generation needs to hear? It could be from your own experience, something you learned the hard way, or just a tough truth no one talks about enough. Let’s hear the cold, honest reality.

Infatuation is not love. If you want a long term relationship or a life partner or parent for your children, learn the difference. If within a short period of time you think you've met your perfect mate, SLOW down until you can see them as a real person complete with imperfections, and only then decide how much space they should occupy in your life. If everyone you know doesn't think they are a good match, they might be right and you might be blinkered. Do your due diligence - especially before you create any children who have to deal with your fallout.
