I feel like the main theme of these go-to affirmations is to not treat everyone like a blank slate. Humans are complicated and live in a complicated world; all this good advice can work, depending on the circumstances. Yes, money can't buy happiness, but there is a difference between someone in severe financial debt and someone who has everything while also having a toxic relationship with/perception on money. Yeah, fake it until you make, but only if you know what you're working with is a short term obstacle and not a permanent destination where you have to wear a mask all day, everyday. Etc. Unless you know the person personally, don't assume that you know every person who is struggling or that you know what they need. To me, it's not realizing good advice is actually terrible advice. It's about looking at your situation honestly while keeping your ears open for advice that will accommodate what you need in the moment instead of sticking to the same mantra when it's clearly not working.

an other advice that often backfires is follow your dreams/passion.
I guess you can give this advice if you know that individual and you are certain that their dream/passion is realistic.
some people have unrealistic goals, and just don't have what it takes to achieve them.
and even if they do have what it takes, this advice can some times blind them and they will miss some important details about their goal.
maybe the dream job they want pays badly.
maybe they get the job but they perform less good than they think they would.
maybe their goal is stressfull and they can't handle all the stress all that well.
a better advice is follow the opportunities.

Never give up doesn't mean never change career paths, or never leave an abusive relationship etc. when I tell people to never give up I usually mean to never give in to depression or hopelessness, never lose the will to live or resign to your afflictions. So long as we're still alive we will always have opportunities, experiences, and people awaiting us ahead. There is always a light at the other side of the tunnel and when you eventually find it through patience, practice, discipline and wisdom you will find happiness. We are all on our own separate journey but we're all in this together, you are never alone.

Everyone has his or her way of living his or her life whether they want money or not and whether they want to live alone or not! Everything is subjective!
What is good for you is not necessarily good for others!
Your morality and your advice you can apply in your life but not to everyone!
So I know what I want in my life and that’s the most important thing!
If you do something to harm others, yes then it’s not a good advice.
But if you do something for you that you want and need without harming others, I don’t see why it’s disturbing. ..
It’s her or his life NOT YOURS. ..

Fake it to make it. Go at it alone. These are things that I often tell myself. For a long time now, I have limited myself from feeling my emotions, in order to make it to be happy every single day of my life. I have limited myself from asking for help when I’m struggling, because I felt like I was never allowed to struggle. And to only love myself when I’m happy. These are things that I am absolutely working on right now. Now, The never give up, I’m actually OK with that one. Because I don’t like giving up. Giving up is never the answer. And I mean when I’m trying to reach my goals.

I made my own realization that I like being single. The thought of staying so made me feel more relaxed because having a relationship would most likely distract me from what I want to do next. I also won't have to deal with social gatherings regarding the friends and family of a soulmate. I've been coming across reddit stories involving family drama that have made me feel worried if I would possibly experience something similar after meeting someone. I've grown up with enough anxiety-related problems, so I really don't want to make it worse by thinking I need someone in my life.

my takes on those advices
Money can't buy happiness
but it sure can feed you, get you at the very least what you need, and can help realize what makes you happy.
Success means doing it alone
Success comes from one's self determination, but not simply through one's solo act, a Surgery requires many professionals not just a doctor with a knife.
Avoid Failure at all Cost
There is no shame in failure as it is inevitable, learn and strive from those failures.

Hello, I just wanted to ask. How or what should I say to a person that opens up to me I'm a good listener but It's difficult for me to encourage someone when I, myself can't apply that myself I wanted to sympathize or empathize with him/her but it ended like I am projecting my problems and situations with them. I wanted to change it. I wanted to change the way I say or advice to someone.
Sorry for the grammars or whatever, it wasn't my first language.

Seize the day maybe, because let's face it; some days you just want to skip! It's a bad day, not a bad life I think is better wisdom here. The same with someone has it much worse than you, be grateful. True gratitude is not about toxic positivity, but about focusing on those things you already have in your life that makes you wholeheartedly happy and gives you meaningfullness (like kids, friends or hobbies)

All my life, I’ve been told to do better or that I’m not good enough, when in reality no one is perfect or has 0 flaws. Humans aren’t as perfect because we tend to mess up, fall short, or are on the road to being burnt out. just a few examples, but I wanted to share my life experiences to hopefully encourage someone else, or maybe a few people to see that there’s more than just failing and quitting.

The first one is actually correct: happiness is a state of mind with zero link to money. You can be very happy without money and very unhappy with loads of it.
And if you can't be happy without money, you will not become happy when you will get rich. Surely it is better to be unhappy in a Porsche than under a bridge but yet, still unhappy.

Some advice is really not good. But I think the worst time to give advice is when you don’t follow it yourself and or you have no place to give it. It’s like this, don’t take down to someone for being dumb if you’re dumb yourself. If you’re going to make fun of someone for being dumb, you better be smart.

stepping into college really gave me a reality check which is why I decided to drop my major instead of enduring the stress of not being able to keep up with the course. I've never felt happier that I've finally let go of that and now I'm looking into other courses where I think I would excel in

I wished I never listened to people who told me to fall in love with someone for their personalities like no, eff it. I'm entitled to my own personal preferences, as long as I'm not being rude to the actual people who aren't my type because they haven't done anything to be disrespectful to me yet.

As if I needed to hear this today. I just realized that my journey to study abroad was unrealistic, as my grades aren't so good, my parents can't afford it and my country doesn't offer student loans. And i thought that giving up on the idea to study was a horrible plan.

Failures are the best teachers.
Today's world seems to deny any weaknesses and lead us to pretend to be stronger than we really are. If we deny our lows, we lie to ourselves.
Everybody makes mistakes but it is important to make them into life lessons.

I think there is some value to fake it till you make it when you're struggling with imposter syndrome while getting into something. Fact is, starting out you may feel like we're not really capable, but that is a roadblock to be overcome, not an accurate view.
