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?

    I used it today to communicate my feelings on a topic I can’t control. Like, me venting isnt going to improve my or the questioners situation.

    In principal I am against thought-termination. Sometimes, like a good dog, you gotta put a thought out of its misery

      I use it more in acceptance, like if I’m late for work and I hit traffic. Short of driving up the shoulder like an asshole, I’m going to be late. So rather than be stressed for the rest of my commute, I just accept that I’ll be late. It is what it is.
