Often, I intuitively know something but realize it only after someone says it out loud. If it's a movie insight, then there's no big deal. But if we're talking about an important life lesson, I sure as heck would've liked figuring it out by myself earlier rather than later.

So when I saw this post on r/AskReddit by u/PeakABoo_IFKU, I knew I was in for a treat. The Redditor asked: "What is the best advice you can give someone?" And after scrolling through some 2,000 comments, I think you'd like to see the best ones as well. From taking care of your body to working on your mind, continue scrolling and check them out!

Young woman in winter clothes playfully covering her eyes outdoors, representing life lessons people wish they had known earlier. Imagine all the time that you spend worrying about your embarrassing moments. Now understand that almost everyone else does the same. Nobody is thinking about your embarrassing things. Just their own. I find this idea freeing.

While it's true that nearly everyone else is also more focused on their own embarrassments, that doesn't necessarily mean that others don't think about yours from time to time. Like, "OMG, remember when Rebecca peed her pants on stage??"

    Is this one of those logic loops? Example: "Everything I say from now on is a lie. I am lying." You are trying to break my brain, aren't you, random stranger?

    Man in a plaid shirt sitting by water, holding his head, reflecting on lessons people wish they had known earlier in life. You are only responsible for yourself . You cannot and should not try to control others even if you think you're being charitable. Similarly don't let other people control your emotions.

    Are you saying we should embrace maturity? Or are you making a recommendation with the last part of that statement? If so... challenge accepted!

    Man deep in thought, reflecting on life lessons people wish they had known earlier for personal growth insights. Try it. Whatever it is you are debating, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, and isn't illegal, try it. Not trying it is going to weigh on you far more than any minor embarrassment you may get from trying it.

    I guess "anything you can do about it" doesn't include obsessing about it, then? 😜

    Man drinking coffee while using a laptop, reflecting on life lessons shared by 30 people about things they wish they knew earlier. Never lose sight of the parts of life you're absolutely clear about. The truest part of ourselves is found inside that clarity. Also, never ever ever be afraid to start over. You will NOT be starting from scratch, you will be starting from experience.

    This is a little convoluted, I think. In this case, are you referring to "starting over" by doing the same thing you've been doing? Because otherwise, you're not really starting from experience, if you are starting over with something new.
