“Are You Following Bad Advice? Here Are 50 Common ‘Wisdoms’ That Might Be Hurting You!”
In most people’s lives, there are others who love them just as they are. In my opinion, that is proof that you are lovable to others, even if you struggle to love yourself. And sometimes other people’s love is what is needed to help you see that you can love yourself too. That’s not to say that this advice is purely terrible, but it doesn’t work for everyone. Just be smart about it.

In dating “if it’s not a hell-yes, then it’s a no.”
More realistic is “you don’t need to know if you want to marry them someday, you only need to know if you want to see them again.”.

“Only date people in your league”. Leagues don’t exist. You never know who a person will be attracted to.

Kill them with kindness. Sometimes people are jerks who step way over the line, and I have no problem calling them on it. I’ve dealt with enough bullies in my life to stand up to people who start drama on the regular. I appreciate the same candidness from my friends.
Now that said, I rarely react to insults from people I’m not close with. If they aren’t important to me, I just don’t care what they think of me. The fact that I don’t even bother to respond really sets them off :).

No, the most important thing for your relationship is to have two secure, stable, empathetic and self aware people. More communication won’t help your relationship if one of you is a raging narcissist.
