What are the most misused pieces of advice you see get posted online?

Communication. Like in a vacuum it’s a good concept and some people can gain a lot from learning how to communicate in their relationships but I know some people who were already kind of socially inept and have used “communication” as an excuse to be insufferably confrontational. Like yesterday I made a kind of snarky comment in a group chat and I had someone DM me like 7 paragraphs and expect the same response back from me and then patted himself on the back at our “communication” and “resolving our issues” and it just makes me wanna barf. He does it to everyone in our friend group too it just rotates who will be the target of his wrath. If I confronted everyone who momentarily offended me or blew me off once I would be a miserable person. Learn to shut up and stop being so sensitive. Sorry just needed to get that out
