Has anyone here ever heard something that sounds like a good idea, but when you actually follow through with it, turns out it's not?

Making time for yourself to do nothing sounds like a good idea, but... You just get depressed, bored, and end up questioning your existence.

Social media in general. It has become such a negative thing, a convenient way for some people to "troll" others, and too many people seem to live their entire lives online thru social media. It's insane!

All the effort I did to study, be a good kid and work for free to get experience. I was raised to believe that hard work led you to have a decent life. Such a lie.

Let’s start a family! (without doing any of the needed family planning, career planning, financial planning or life planning first.) That will turn good intentions into a very bad idea.

Rushing into adulthood just so I could make my own decisions. Now I'm also responsible for my food, my rent, my vacations, my taxes...

Getting a tattoo without considering the consequences. Yes, there are people (like me) who love all their ink. And then there are those who regret the spontaneous decision they had made years ago. Same with piercings. Not all holes will close up as "advertised".

Redecorating your house/bedroom on your own. Although it's supposed to be cheaper and you have full control over it, It's very time-consuming, difficult, and exhausting.

Let’s go to after-school martial arts classes! Every day I went in, exercised til I was tired and sore, and then played dodgeball with other kids. In addition, one of the instructors had extreme anger issues and would get upset whenever a FIRST TO THIRD GRADER didn’t meet her expectations and one of my best friends got TAPED TO A CHAIR!

mixing chemicals.
Not my story, but my dad's. He was in the coast guard, and they were docked for a few weeks. He and his buddies decided to hang out with the HazMat (hazardous Materials) crew and ended up making a small explosion. the explosion turned into a fire. Every time my dad tells this story, he always says that he doesn't think that the grass has grown in that spot since then, and it's been at least 18 years since that happened.

Half the things I did in high school... especially the ones that started out with someone saying "You know what would be fun..."

Listening to new music. Sounds great but I usually end up with a lot of really weird stuff and in a bad mood because I didn't curate it myself. It's a sometimes food.

Contemplating life, you know it sounds like a good idea, but it just makes you cry.
