Never use the word “should”, even to yourself. Authoritarian scam word.

Are you telling me what I should do? 😜

Fine. I highly recommend not using…

😂

Yeah, “people should” or “you should” or “she should” in the mandatory sense… I like the idea of avoiding. 🫂

Not the kind of pleasant reminder that I'd expect from someone with "toxic" in their name. Good advice.

Another trap word is "just".

If I had just done (X), maybe I wouldn't have had (bad thing happen).

Where X is something that seems simple, but is difficult and most people don't actually accomplish. There's really no need to feel bad about it. It won't help. And if X was actually easy, you probably would have done it (or didn't know how important it was, etc.)
