One of the many reasons I quit the trades so dramatically was because I couldn't stand all the unasked advice coming from older men.
If I wanted to be old, miserable, full of hate for my wife and children, full of hate at other people for expressing themselves, full of hate for myself and own a giant savings account full of money I can't enjoy because my body is too broken, then sure I'll listen to what you will say. But I don't want that. I want to be happy with all the nothing I own.
I even went and tattooed both my arms full just to signal that I am dedicated to my mistakes. I'd rather be broke and myself than to live the shallow, object filled existence that they want to live. Where these old miserable men see mistakes, I see experiences and the chance to learn.
Fuck 'em.

"Just ignore it"
Hearing that shit all your life really fucks you to.

If you acted less weird you would have a lot more friends.
"Pay less attention to what's going on and you won't feel so bad."
While this is true, I would rather coexist with reality, even if that reality is shit. That way I can take part in change. Or at the least, know what's coming.
The pay less attention sentiment sounds nice until all the things start paying attention to you
