Ask HN: What do people learn too late?

That you shouldn't really care what other people think about you. Millions suffer needlessly under the imaginary weight of others expectations. Some even end up going completely insane or dying, due to this.

Live your life the way you see fit, and of other people have a problem with it that's their business

That no one cares about you or what have you done. Your existence will be forgotten after 4 generations. It's scary but liberating as well.
