      VAGABOND YOUTH i find that when my mom gives me bad advice it's usually coming from her personal regrets or experience. in korea many young women are told to stay quiet and be passive and demure. so my mom always told me if i am wronged i should stand up for myself. probably because she never really did when she shouldve. maybe your mom is coming from a similar place? idk lol

    Something my mom always told me that "there is no such thing as bad advice but advice that isn't good for your situation". People give their opinions based off of what has worked for them or what has been told to them all their lives. That's why you can hear people out but really examined whether their advice is good for you and what you are going through. Hopefully all that makes sense!
    Also Amy I really love this series, the direction of how you edit your videos, and you being more open to us about your passions and thoughts! But if you can, please when you do the AM with Amy, don't focus too much explaining the product or just the makeup itself. I prefer listening and focusing on what you have to say and when you quickly switch to talk about the makeup real quick, for me it messes up the flow.

    I was told to smile more, fake happiness, talk more. I still hear people say "fake confidence" and one day you can achieve it. I don't necessarily believe it is that easy, at least for some people. I don't smile often, and i'm not always happy. I'm not confident enough to do certain tasks. And i'm okay with that. I feel like faking a smile or happiness was making me a better person, but I didn't feel real within myself, and I didn't feel any better or happier. I think's its ok to not be confident or be an extrovert. People told me being an extrovert and being confident was always the BEST thing possible, but it's not. I'm ok with being shy and quiet. I dislike how society deems or points out quiet people as if it is something bad or unnecessary. People's first impressions of me is that I am the quiet, shy, and serious individual. And as long as they aren't constantly reminding me like it's something horrible, i'm fine with being an introvert. And I used to envy extroverts and confident people all the time, and I realized I was just being negative and jealous because I wish I could be like them. I can't start a conversation as easily as they can, or be good at small talk like they are, and i'm fine with that. In my job, I see how easily my co-workers can make a conversation with a stranger, and at times I envy that but at the same time, I learn from it because communication is essential. I just learned from that advice that it's ok to be shy.
    Your advice to care more is definitely an eye-opener to me in some situations, so thank you for that. I've always cared a lot, and as a result, I tend to cry more than average. Crying does help me relieve stress and anger. I used to tell myself to not care, and things would be ok, or that it would be easier. But I've learned over time that it's ok to be vulnerable sometimes.
    I was just wondering where do you listen to all of your podcasts? I've been trying to get into them, but I've never used them before so i'm not sure where to start? Thank you!

    The worst piece of advice I received was work related. I started part timing at a company that was draining me physically and mentally. People told me to stick through it because it might get better and that quitting fast would not look good. I stayed and I became the most tired I have ever been. So I left. I think it's so important to do something you love, instead of forcing yourself to go day in day out to a job you hate. Of course it's difficult, but your mind matters.

    My mom once said "life is stress". She said it at a time I was really stressed out and upset about things. For me it is one of the worst advice someone could say. Because I believe that what you think is what you become. It is up to me and my reaction to things that will define my way of living.

  • @soneboice13
    @soneboice13 7 лет назад +3

    The worst advice I have received was from my mother which was to always say yes, always to forgive, always to be generous and think about the other person's feelings first. Although, I knew my mother had good intentions when telling me these things this advice had really made me become suppressed in the way that I wasn't able to stand up for myself even when people were doing wrong to me because the mentality of always putting others way above me was engraved into my life. I am still struggling to stand up for myself and struggling with my self esteem because of how I let others be my priority constantly.

  • @ughmina
    @ughmina 7 лет назад +27

    I don’t think the advice itself was inherently negative, but the way I interpreted it and applied it to my daily life was. Someone told me to put my mental health above my responsibilities (e.g. studying, attending class, etc.), and I would use that as an excuse to essentially do nothing. I would procrastinate for the sake of self care, and it just ended up making me a lot more stressed and anxious than I was previously.

    • @mycp6615
      @mycp6615 4 года назад

      I relate so so hard to this and I think although I’m aware of this behaviour now I still continue to use mental health as an excuse to be completely unproductive and I’m finding it super hard to get motivated at all, do you have any advice or suggestions to help or just how did you get out of it yourself?

  • @ThinkInStyle
    @ThinkInStyle 7 лет назад +82

    it's not really one specific bad advice. i would say i just hate it when you open up to people and then they turn your spirit off by giving you negative advice

  • @therealchristinedo
    @therealchristinedo 7 лет назад +26

    A bad piece of advice that I was given relates back to your second one, but it was "to power through things when it hurts" and that "showing emotions are signs of weakness." In reality we are real human beings and it's okay to hurt, to remorse, to regret, to hate, to long for something but that's temporary and like you said, we stop and let it affect us, we learn and we move on.

  • @Outthinkeinstein
    @Outthinkeinstein 6 лет назад +5

    A bad piece of advice that I got was actually from my family.... I was really indecisive about jumping right into University after graduating from high school. Both my mom and my grandparents encouraged me to go right into it, because they were afraid that if I didn't go right away, then I would end up never going to college and getting a degree. Even though my gut instinct was to take a break and to sort out what I really wanted to do with my life, I listened to my family and went to my dream college (on basically a full ride).. For me, college was a very stressful, anxiety ridden experience that actually caused me to develop severe depression. I think that because I didn't follow my gut instinct that was telling me I was NOT ready emotionally and not prepared in knowing what I wanted to do with my future, that it caused me to make some misguided decisions that really made me unhappy with my life and with the direction I was going in. Since then, I've withdrawn from school, moved back to my hometown and have made some progress both in recovering my mental health and finding my passion in life. I feel like the advice to jump right into college after high school not only hurt me physically but it also made going to university for something I'm really passionate about more difficult. I now have to juggle work, university loans AND making time for improving my skills as a sewist while looking for a Fashion Design program at a different, more affordable school.
    Amy I know you have many comments to sort through and you can't possibly respond to them all, but if you read mine I would really appreciate it if you mentioned this in your next video. I feel like so many younger kids nowadays feel the pressure to go into college right away and to get a degree that will eventually make them a lot of money. I think this is a MISGUIDED way of thinking, because in the end many people end up unhappy with their job and unsatisfied in other aspects of their life. It's important to take peoples advice into consideration, but in the end YOU are the one that has to live with your decisions. If you think you'll be happier doing what you WANT to do and not what someone else THINKS you should do, then you need to follow your gut and your heart! This life is not about money, it's about experiences and happiness.

  • @ivybrooks2693
    @ivybrooks2693 7 лет назад +9

    Wow dude feeling inspired. The worst piece of advice I was given was probably people telling me to "stop worrying". Sometimes i deal with bad anxiety and the best thing is for for someone to empathize (not sympathize, I appreciate that you put that in there) and just be there. Making someone feel heard, valued, and understood is a great gift you can give.

  • @jassimuh8714
    @jassimuh8714 7 лет назад +4

    I gained a little bit of weight, but still thought I was looking ok until my boyfriend accidently said something without thinking about it. He didnt even mean it that way. I was complaining about my body and my curves and so on an than he said, that it's ok how it is. But I should not gain more weight. And that if I didnt like my curvy self, I should so more sports. Since that moment I have a hard time loving my body. The thing is, I dont want to loose lots of weight. I just want to love myself again the way I am. I once told him that I started hating myself because of that sentence and he started crying, because he never meant it that we. He just wanted to help me. And now he supports me in the best possible way. But this sentence was the worst. It was kind of: if you dont like yourself, than change it. Realy bad advice

  • @etherealunicorns
    @etherealunicorns 7 лет назад +3

    What you said about not caring about what others have to say was incredibly eye opening. I would consider myself a sensitive person so I would try to not care about negativity thrown my way but it never works, it only seems to fester... Great piece of advice!

Thanks love for doing this, from your videos I even started to try and listen to podcasts more the ones you recommend and they are really good! 💖💖💖

    Amy! I love everything you said in his video &how you perceive the advice as an adult now. It's what you do with the advice that matters most. I think with the whole "not caring" about what others think, it's just easier to push the emotion aside than to actually address it. Love these AM videos. Thank you!

    The "do not care what people think advice" has been given to me so many times, my boyfriend always tells me "please don't cry over that it's not worth it" but I feel like, feeling all the feelings is okay, it's what makes you human. So my advice would be cry if you feel like it lol

  • @jamievincent5916
    @jamievincent5916 7 лет назад +2

    okay so worst piece of advice: I am absolutely terrified of needles, I faint get really sweaty have a panic attack. One time I had to get an injection for school and one of my teacher said to me to just not think about it. But obviously when you're told not to do something, that's all you can do. So i couldn't stop thinking about it and I freaked myself out even more and ended up passing out :)

    Hi Amy! I have been subscribing you for years now, and you're like a big sister to me. I listened to your advice, judgements, and your thoughts and all of those somehow resonated to me. I think you should write a book about pieces of advice you want to give to us, young women, about study, job, relationship, and how we can empower ourselves and each other. I definitely would buy it! xx

    My dad told me "If you love someone, you will fight for them" and in the moment my father and my mom knew that my boyfriend (at the time) wasn't treating me the way i was suppose to be treated, always breaking up and getting back together. IT WAS A MESS. I knew it was smart to let go because no one deserves negativity in their life.

  • @riss337
    @riss337 7 лет назад

    I definitely relate because my bad advice is also from my mom. I know it comes from good intentions, and each kid probably reacts differently. But she basically told me not do things first and to watch other people and copy from them, this can be good advice in some settings, but that turned to me applying it to everything. Growing up now I'm not a huge risk taker, I'm pretty shy and I feel like every day I'm reminding myself I don't have to follow everyone else. All of this really makes me reflect on how I was raised and the person I am today because of it. But I don't hate my parents, they were strict, but it could of been much worse and I understand that they grew up in a very different place and time, and they just show affection in other ways. The only thing I can take away from it is that I hope I raise my own child differently one day.

  • @ellenchu1850
    @ellenchu1850 7 лет назад +2

    Thank you so much for your words of wisdom for this topic amy, the worst advice i recieved was the "'not caring" and the one my mum told me is "dont let people walkover you" which i can relate this to in my previous job. At first the relationship between me and my managers was fine but then got sour and conflict was built. The times when my managers would bring me down when i'm being called to their office and shout for me just doing my job I couldn't stick up for myself/not let them walk over me because i didnt want to lose my job and i need money to support myself whilst i was in university. And becausr they were in a higher position than me made it more diffucult.j My colleagues told me to not care, you're leaving soon and you'll never see them again etc but in the end i cried it all out to my BF and my mum and felt a lot weight came off my shoulders and went back to work the next day by killing them with kindness 😏 u showing them that u don't hold a grudge to them and learned from the experience give a whole new perspective on how people will act around you. By the time i left the job they were sad to see me leave and said they would hire me again if i wanted my job back but 50/50 on whether it was genuine or not 😂 that whole experience with the job i have thought about it and now pushed to the back of my mind and now focusing on other thing which makes me more happier. Sorry for the long storytelling please continue with AM with amy episode they are one of my favourite and your words inspire me in so many ways u should do podcast on these sort of topics!! Thank you amy!!!

    I've supported you and your channel for a really long time and have always considered you to be someone who I admired for all the ways you are different from me - style, personality, etc. However, this series is making realize more and more how similar my ethos is with yours and how much our morals and values align. Despite surface differences, I feel like I've found a kindred spirit in you and that not only makes me happy, but it makes me an even stronger supporter of your inner strength and success. Keep doing you, girl. All of us appreciate it.

    Whenever I had friend problems, my mom would just tell me to go tell the teacher. I already knew that wouldn’t be a good solution, so I always had to figure out my friendship problems on my own. I’m 24 now and I still struggle with being a good friend at times (dont we all?) but I have learned and grown a lot.

    Hi Amy, my mum just told me that she didn’t believe that I could enter university with my own abilities, and that hurt me so much. I came to your channel for some solace (whenever I hear you give advice I just feel so much at ease) I decided to click on this video, and realised this was what I really need right now. Thank you Amy.

  • @vitaminme
    @vitaminme 5 лет назад

    this is interesting because I was given advice from my father to never make enemies, and even if people treat you badly you should treat them nicely, however I feel as though that has made me lenient on people I should not have in my life, who hurt, bully or judge me unfairly and then to have me accept this and still love them. As I get older, I am realizing how hard it is to know when to stop loving or when as you said, to move on, but it is being aware of how we have been affected by good and bad advice that is the first step...

  • @iintombi_
    @iintombi_ 7 лет назад +1

    The weirdest thing is my mom gave me similar advice she used to tell me if the kids at school call you bad names, do the same. If they hit you, hit them back. I have never been the type to fight. Actually I just hated conflict. On the other hand she was very aggressive growing up she was fairly rough and very tough. Last year I realized she gave the same advice to my niece, unlike me she is also very rough and tough, she got into a couple of fights :/ I never took my moms advice. I actually don't know how I got through primary school :x probably by being extremely nice, even to potential bullies.

  • @chocookat
    @chocookat 6 лет назад

    Really enjoyed this AM with Amy! I was able to relate a lot. It's so true people are always saying that you shouldn't care or to just ignore it. I'm such an emotional person that I've learned to just embrace it. If I'm hurt then I will act hurt. There shouldn't be any shame with that. You just need to release your feelings and let it out. We're all human and we are allowed to feel however we feel. & I also totally relate with the whole if someone is mean to you or perceives you in a negative way that just says a lot about them as a person. You just have to spread positive vibes because I'm sure that person is just going through something negative in their life. Show them love. Like a quote I saw on twitter, "If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners, because you represent yourself, not others."

    I worked for a company for two and a half years and I was bullied daily for being a Portuguese speaker ( I refused to assimilate to espanhol), and I used to think that if I kept being nice to everyone one day they would realize that I was a good person, I learned the hard way that if someone hates you they always will, I learned to leave the house with my shield on, I very seldom am caught unguarded, I know that I will never have a friend but I don't let anyone hurt me either

    Amy, I really like your videos and really appreciate the way you think. Honestly, I watch your videos to practice my English but I also like listening to what you say. Sometimes I'm not feeling very well so your advices make me not lose hope in the world. I know you're not perfect but I feel like you really try to be a good person and that is something I really admire in you. I also am always trying to become a better version of myself despite sometimes feeling like I am a terrible human being, but listening to you gives me some hope :). Thank you!

    One of the worst pieces of advice I was given was even if you're not feeling happy smile because something about how there was a correlation with positive thought and smiling. Also another piece of advice I've heard is "suck it up". The last piece of advice that I was not a fan of was that "life is about the grind" or "life is about work". Which it's true that life is about growing and working towards your goals but also you should take time to work on becoming your best self.

    I really feel you on letting setbacks affect you. I used to think I was just being overly sensitive (don't get me wrong I'm still sensitive lmao) but I ended up repressing things as if I was ~brushing it off~ and it's totally bit me in the ass.

    Alcohol and running away is the answer. My family is full of them alcoholics especially the males so being a Latina and trying to go to college get a career and etc. It's very hard but I don't expect it to be easy. Also the hatters that I just respond with love and kindness. Envy will make you do crazy things but if people pray for my failure or lack of happiness I don't care I just thank them for keeping me in mind.

    while i was growing up, my parents would verbally abuse each other often. my grandmother told me that the best thing i can do is serve as a mediator. she wanted me to act as a buffer when things got tense. and though she meant well, i think this assigned role made me feel even more responsible for my parents fighting. and as a mediator, i had to put my feelings and my breakdowns aside so as to appear strong for my younger brother and everyone else.
    i'm probably making this sound more dramatic than it was. but my grandma literally told me as a 12 year old child to be a mediator.. but of course in tagalog.

    Bad advice that I have received is from family (very innocuously) telling me that is should have a certain amount of money before I do something. I come from a lower-middle class background... if I had waited to save for the multiple moves I have made, travels I have done or things I have purchase I would have been waiting a long time for those things. Something that goes along with that is the idea of stretched out savings goals. If you want something you can save thousands of dollars in just a couple months. If you wait 6 or more then that thing you have been dreaming of may never come. I love my family but I have already done so much more in a few years than they have done their whole lives. We can either seize the day or waste it on a "someday when..." mentality.

    my grandma always pushed being humble and not questioning authority. I think that can be really detrimental bc it reinforces the notion that your opinion doesn't hold value, and it can also stop you from going for things you want. Thankfully I'm very headstrong and never really took that to heart, but it's something she still pushes even though I'm in uni

    It's not really an advice but it's a thing some adults have said that to me that I'm glad I did not internalise. I was told not to worry about getting higher education (college and master degree) because it will intimidate boys and because I will depend on my husband and be a mom in the end. It's just so wrong, I battled with it for a long time, but now I have my own opinion on those things and I would tell my little sister that she does not have to internalise or agree with that what those people said either.

    Wow wow wow! I'm a new subscriber and I'm already a huge fan. I began RUclips less than a year ago and i've definitely gotten hate about my channel. I would try to ignore it and sometimes I would want to quit, but I ended up realizing that people hate on you based on how they're feeling, and I always use that to control my anger and use negative comments to fuel my energy towards RUclips/Instagram to better myself and my content. People like yourself inspire me to try to become a better person and create quality content, so thank you, thank you, thank you!

    i remember back in high school, i often heard my friends told me to "go with the flows". If all the kids cheat in class, then i shouldnt act all righteous alone n received a bad grade. I was told that i was foolish to think so highly of "fairness" while other kids were doing way better than i did. I was told to not be too " up front/straightforward/righteous" and that i should go with the flows. I was mad and hurt becox i was sort of being ignored and that my kindness was seen as "stupidity". I hated my last year of high school, i felt no sincerity between friends, no honest compliments, no genuinely good intentions for one another, becox those kids could lie n step over their friends for the sake of their grade (which wasnt earned by their own effort). I am glad i didnt let it effect me and i dun keep in touch with them anymore after high school, becox they knew i didnt see them more than just classmates, and that i had no intention to continue with the friendship. What ive learned from those years is that people can make u feel very empty, n instead of hating them and torturing urself, i learn to be picky with who i let into my life. I can dislike a person n still wish the best for them.

    @anhtheezyweezy 7 лет назад +1

    Wutsgood Amy. Your thoughts about our natural instinct to care is on par. Sometimes I feel as though nothing is going right in my life and my initial reaction is to cry about it. I honestly can't help it but I'm really glad that I do because I get over it faster than if I were to try and ignore everything. About 8 months ago, I got scammed for every penny I had by someone who pretended to be a person in need of a dog sitter. Long story short, I fell for this fake ad and it made me feel like a dumbass and I cried for 5 days straight about it. I'm an unemployed college student and it was the biggest slap in the face at the time. But now I have a job and I'm pretty damn close to graduating so I'm pumped! Anyways, yeah crying definitely helps in a lot of shitty situations and I'm just glad to hear that I'm not the only one who feels the same way. Thanks for sharing this video Amy!

    Oh my gah idk if u read this book but Jon Ronson's "so you've been publicly shamed" is so good. It goes into online "bullying" (more like attacks) and it really opened my mind to things like social media interaction and being aware of what is said about people and what people do online. You need to check it out! Definitely makes me think twice before I say something on social media

    the worse advice i’ve gotten is that i’m not putting myself out there enough when it comes to dating and that the most important relationship to fall back on are romantic ones. i’ve wasted my whole teen years fixating my life on that and didnt pursue or allowed myself to become anything until i had that specific part of my life on lock.

    it's not exactly an advice but everything I complain to my parents about how stressed out I am with school they say "don't complain right now, it's going to get worse". I learned to kinda of "unhear" that phrase and not get upset about it but it's like ~~I'm already going crazy with so much homework and tests and when I open up, you say that it's going to get worse? How in the world am I suppose to feel better after that?

    the worst advice that I have gotten is that I am supposed to put my work above my mental health and I was having an anxiety attack at that time. and when I said about my depression. she said, don't feed yourself with all this. people who have depression aren't even able to move their fingers and usually commit suicide.

  • @sincerelyabu
    @sincerelyabu 7 лет назад

    The worst piece of advice I have been or am still getting is, don't care what people think and go for what you're interested in, specifically pertaining to what you want to study in college; For those who have strict Filipino RN parents, you get my drift. (I PROMISE THIS ISN'T SHADE EITHER PARENTS LOL) They're always like "Study nursing first, and then you can go back and do whatever you want." Right? Anyways, I graduated a year ago, and I didn't hate nursing school, it was just difficult at times with the amount of information you have to know in 4 years, having anxiety at times b/c you've studied a course to learn how to not essentially kill someone but to take care of them the right way, and you also have to pass dreadful board exam to become a nurse. I just have to rediscover why I did it in the first place, and the benefit I will be to others by being a good nurse. But alas, I am not the type to give up on things that I have started, and I hope to accomplish my test at the end of this year.
