What are some seemingly harmless pieces of advice that you grew up with that are actually highly destructive?

>winning doesn't matter
>looks don't matter
>money doesn't matter
>you just have to work hard to succeed in life
>being told that you're handsome by your parents even though you're not
>the bullies might be in charge now, but when you grow up you'll be their boss!
>don't get a girlfriend when you're young, just study, get your career, and settle down in your 30s.
>just learn skills or a trade! Investments are too risky!

This. Women are fun to be around but marriage and settling down is just quitting. The ultimate goal for anybody should be to influence society on a grand level and spread your memes. If you fail at spreading your memes then you have to take the beta path of spreading your genes and having children.

Loser talk

>looks don't matter
This used to be true for men, but now the paradigm shifted and men are judged the same way as women (by appearance). A lot of people still haven't realized this, unfortunately.

>you just have to work hard to succeed in life
The only thing in this list that's never been true, the real winners always work smart instead.

>the bullies might be in charge now, but when you grow up you'll be their boss!
This one is actually true, but you as the nerd will have a worse life bending over backwards for upper management while the chad just dicks around all day and collects his meal ticket without really caring

>being told that you're handsome by your parents even though you're not
Being called ugly and/or stupid by your parents damages you mentally, any parent that loves their children will never call them anything that's not a positive thing (unless they fucked up, and even then they'd only scold you momentarily)

>don't get a girlfriend when you're young, just study, get your career, and settle down in your 30s.
>just learn skills or a trade! Investments are too risky!
These last two are actual good advice, I'm not really sure what you're on about. I'd say you should still invest if you have the spare coin for it, but other than that it's sound advice.

depends western women are a lot more pathologized in easern europe and asia its still quite common to see very average even ugly dudes having attractive girlfriends if theyre well rounded unfortunately this will probably change in the next decade or two

of all the memes, I'm glad to say I learned eaarly in life that working hard really is the most retarded of those, and I say as someone who has suffered a shitty life and has fallen for these shitty ideas.
working hard won't get you anywhere if you don't work smart. in fact, working hard on itself is nothing, and only a fucking retard would believe otherwise.

forgot to mention the other (maybe harmful) meme: education. what do I mean? education as in university or specialization, on itself, also won't get you anywhere. if you don't enjoy or aren't able to see the usefulness of what you do, you are fucked. most people out there are told that having a degree will get them places. well, shit isn't magic like that, and most degrees are worthless anyway. you need to make your own path, just like everything else in life.
what matters above all is EXPERIENCE.
