Sorry for your luck.
"Listen to your body" No, that's how you get fat. Your body wants to build up fat! That's how we survived famines. Famines that don't happen anymore.
Listen to your doctor instead 👍
Listen to your body, assess how its feedback comports with your goals, then use your brain to decide what to do.
Listening to the body is a rule of thumb. If you feel bad after eating/drinking something it's probably not good for you. If you cough from something in the air it's not healthy to inhale.
It's especially true in high octane workout culture like cross-fit, if it hurts then don't continue, this is how you end up with a herniated disc.
That being said, if you're on heroin you shouldn't listen to the body. Same with cigarettes, junk food, sugary drinks, candy etc. because the body is a dopamine whore.
That is not bad advice
You want to listen to your body because it tells you way more things than just feeling hungry. That is a gross simplification of that suggestion, almost assuming human bodies are machines.
Bad advice in this context is saying "you are gonna be happier if you lost weight" or "you are gonna look better if you lost weight". That is extremely personal and changes person to person, some might even feel worse.
Listening to a doctor's concerns is for everyone with no exclusions, but feeling good in oneself's body is another different topic that needs to be tackled appropriately.
Listening to your body is meant in the context of over-exercising though. It’s not a blanket get out of exercise card. That’s called “listening to your brain”.
Don't listen to food adverts. Broccoli doesn't have a marketing budget.

Compare yourself to the people you see in the movies.
You never see Lara Croft or John Wick get the hiccups. If you do it's because you're a jerk and everyone will laugh at you.
creatural realism. thats why i love die hard, hero gets hurt a lot.
Runs 100 yards barefoot through broken glass.
Obligatory: "YOLO", it is true we only live once -- so make it count.
"Big boys/girls don't cry"
This is some archaic-level advice similar to "pull up your bootstraps" that most people may have these already ingrained as part of growing up. It is fine to cry and show others [you trust] your feelings, no matter how old you are. More importantly, the better advice is to "take care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being" and "be kind to yourself".
Quitting a job cold is one of the dumbest things you can do when you do not have any safety nets.
I quit work at 35 and now 58. My only regret in life is not quitting earlier. I get mo pensions or welfare or inheritance, I'm just mindful of spending and ever since I was 19 I invested small amounts of surplus income in stocks and shares that ballooned over the decades to large amounts.

if it moves, bet on it. if it doesnt, eat it.
You should share everything with your SO. No. Don't share finances..
Totally disagree, however it does depend on what stage of life you're on. Straight out of college, sure, married at 50, I would say "no".
I've been married almost 25 years and we've been sharing finances since before we were married, but we both started with nothing, and we both had college degrees and equal paying jobs out of college, so there was no real disparity of finances.
Why not? Having two paycheck going into one place seems like it would make things easier, since you’d only have to deal with one set of accounts. And if something happens to your SO, you already have access to the finances and don’t have to worry about getting access while dealing with whatever happened
