What is the worst advice people still give?

ROYAL PROCLAMATION
What is the worst advice people still give like it's wisdom?

Every fool with a tongue thinks themselves a maester. Follow your heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Just be yourself.

Blood is thicker than water. These are the platitudes peasants recite when they have nothing useful to say but cannot bear the silence.

Some advice sounds noble until you realize it ruins lives. It gets people stuck in bad relationships, bankrupts them, makes them trust the wrong lords, or convinces them loyalty to family is more sacred than survival. Robb Stark followed his heart straight into a wedding massacre, and yet romantics still preach that love conquers all.

The worst advice spreads because it sounds pretty and requires no thought. It flatters the listener. It pretends the world is fair when the world is only fair to those who see it clearly.

A crumb of court knowledge:
The Hand of the King runs the realm when the king is absent, which explains why uncles become dangerously confident when no one stops them.

What is the worst advice you've ever heard someone give as if it were wisdom?
