One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    Oh this one gets me too… Why not tell me why to trust you? Then I can decide for myself if I should.

      Because if you need reasons, then you don’t trust them. And they can take your refusal to do/believe what you’re told to do/believe as a personal attack, you know? It’s emotive manipulation.

        Trust until proven untrustworthy is a weird mantra they expect you to live by.
