‘Eliminate toxic friends’: 20+ blunt pieces of advice to avoid regrets in your 30s and 40s

Everyone, take notes! Whether or not you want to admit it, there are times in life when your elders may actually know what's best. In this instance, this AskReddit thread, which was posted by u/Professional_Lab7394, contains a wide variety of advice to twenty-somethings to avoid a life of regret in the ensuing decades. As a twenty-something nearing the end of this chaotic decade myself, I have to confess that as much as it pains me to read these, there is unfortunately a lot to learn. The number of people that mentioned taking care of your teeth or exercising more probably exceeds the number of times I've brushed my teeth for a full two minutes this year or the number of miles I've run all year (let's be honest, all decade). As for relationships, it seems like there's a common thread here and that's to stop doing what you already know is wrong. Seems like simple advice, but it clearly bears repeating. Keep scrolling below for more. Once you're through that, take a look at these crazy job interview stories.
