I’ll go first: “You have to have children when you’re young,” told to me when I was in my late 20s, with no desire to ever have kids, and no means to support them, by someone divorced multiple times with at least one adult child who does not speak to them.

Also: Responding to “How do I deal with this problem?” questions with “Oh, don’t worry about it, it’s enough that you’re even thinking about it!”

    Am I supposed to upvote this because it’s awful advice or downvote it because it’s depressing advice?

    It seems like this person either had success with their advice or had nothing to say, but felt the need to say something.

    My favorite advice for clinical depression is “just snap out of it.”

      Is it inappropriate or off topic? Then you downvote.

      Anything else? Upvote or abstain
