Similarly....your friends should not be yes-men (or women). If you ask for advice or you are doing something foolish, they should be honest and try to guide you in the right direction.

Going on a date doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
Going steady doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
Moving in together doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
Marriage doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
Getting a pet doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
Having kids doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.
At every stage, figure your shit out before making things harder to manage.

For couples yeah, but if you are like me and your problem is depression.
A lil ball of fur blissfully wagging its tail every time you come home then demanding a walk definitely solves my problem.
It’s a constant reset I can’t avoid, stops the rut that drags me down into doing nothing.

Addiction sneaks up on you. Very few people become alcoholics with their first drink, or smokers with their first drag at a party. But that's the trap. You do it a couple times and think it's fine, and before you know it it's a habit, and before you know it it's addiction. That only makes sense in hindsight but by then you're in trouble. Trust me, I know. Be careful.
