I just saw this on this very site

And I have issues with this quote!

I had shitty parents from birth
I've struggled with mental and physical issues all my life (even as a kid)
I was never an alcoholic or gambling addict until long after I started. And I certainly never acted like one, even after the fact.

I know the quote is ment to be inspirational, but to people like me it feels like a "pointing fingers" quote rather than inspirational.

I find inspirational quotes in general to be extremely cringeworthy.

And they can often be paired off to give conflicting advice.
