13. Caring for what others think. You should to some extent but doing it too much just destroys your self-worth and turns you into someone you are not.

15. Working a job you hate because it pays well but you’re miserable.

16. Thinking too much of what others think of them or how they are perceived. I think this goes along with self-esteem but I started feeling a lot better about myself when I let go of the fear of judgment.

17. Putting things off.
We could do it more as kids because someone was there to pick up the slack or stay on top of us to get something done.
But as an adult, the consequences of waiting on stuff slap you hard.

19. Picture this, your manager pulls you aside and asks you to do a little extra work, you want to move up in the company, you like your job, you say yes, and your manager says “Thank you so much for doing this! I see great things in your future keep up the good work, we’re watching and we don’t know what we’d do without you!”
Next week, your manager pulls you aside and asks you to do a little extra work, you want to move up in the company, you like your job, you say yes, and your manager says “Thank you so much for doing this! I see great things in your future keep up the good work, we’re watching and we don’t know what we’d do without you!”
Next week, your manager pulls you aside and asks you to do even more extra work, you want to move up in the company, you like your job, you say yes, and your manager says “Thank you so much for doing this! I see great things in your future keep up the good work, were watching and we don’t know what we’d do without you!”
You keep doing all this extra work and taking on all these extra responsibilities, responsibilities that they’d normally have a supervisor or manager do, but you’re doing all this extra work at your base pay, which to them is for free. Please realize they have no intention of promoting you if you’re doing a ton of extra work for them and they aren’t compensating you for it.

20. Having kids bc society said they should.
Nothing against kids, parents, etc but the pressure to have kids is immense from family and/or religion in most areas/cultures. More often couples have to explain WHY they chose not to (or couldn’t have).
