Over-the-top hype is a dangerous thing. On the one hand, it can seriously motivate you to aim for a specific goal. On the other hand, it creates a warped illusion, and reality will never measure up to your sky-high expectations. And you’ll just stand there, shocked and devastated.
Internet users spilled the tea about all the things, lifestyles, and professions that society and people love to romanticize, but they regret them the moment they actually get what they want. We have collected their most eye-opening posts, and they’re a gentle reminder to rethink some of your dreams. Be careful what you wish for.

Having a hysterectomy ‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have periods and cramps anymore- I wish my doctor would approve me for one’ thanks Karen I didn’t have a choice because I had early stage endometrial cancer. The recovery sucked, balancing hormones after going through menopause overnight is awful and I feel like I’ve aged 10 yrs and gained 15 lbs in the past 8 months but yeah it’s great not to have to buy tampons anymore 🙃.

Some people said off-grid/homesteading. But I moved back to the city after doing that for a while and I still can't sleep right here. Too loud too much light pollution and I'm really tired of homeless people begging me for money everywhere I go. I miss the quiet.

Being the girlfriend or wife of a very successful man… doesn’t help if he’s extremely attractive to women.
There’s a reason I never wanted to be famous. I didn’t want to have to be “on” at all times.
My partner wasn’t famous, but he was a mover and shaker in our city, and it was a lot.
