People Share Their Weirdest Yet Strangely Effective Advice

If there's one thing that helps us get through life, it's each other. That is, when we're not actively hindering each other's progress. But still, learning from other people's mistakes is a terrific way to bypass making a lot of your own mistakes, because honestly, who has the time to make every single mistake for yourself when you could literally just ask someone.

Maybe the issue with advice is that we always feel like it has to "sound like advice." And that's a disservice to advice. A lot of terrific advice sounds over simplistic, stupid and weird.

Good advice doesn't necessarily have to sound profound. The mark of good advice isn't its profundity, but simply it's rate of success. And if telling yourself "no one cares about me it all" is what gets you to work every morning, that is some inarguably good advice.

But for some inarguably bad advice, here is some of the worst advice people have ever received.
