>So many people are dissatisfied, depressed, and disappointed because they've been told they can change anything and be anything, and it's not true.
people keep saying this with exactly 0 evidence
like that's a nice headcanon, but do you have a single study where people have reported being said because they can't change and be anything? inb4 you derail it with some tranny shit
i have never in my life met a person who was unhappy for some vague undefined reason having to do with how they can't just go and become a famous hollywood celebrity or a superstar nuclear physicist
they're unhappy for mundane reasons, they hate their boss, their spouse, they can't find a good job, can't find a partner, they're unhealthy, their parents are sick, their kids have issues, w/e
i don't think expecting to have a nice job, a nice wife, and family who aren't mortally sick is about being told you can "be anything"
