You know, like "always split on 18," or "having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life."

What's that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

"be yourself" doesn't work if your natural self is bad.

Ehhh it depends. For a work interview or anything professional, you can take it until you make it. But when socializing however you should be yourself.

People can tell when you are trying to be somebody you aren't, and people are most comfortable around those who are open about who they are.
