    underestimating people.

  22. Jessica:

    Not putting their happiness first. This includes many things… working a job they hate, staying with someone that doesn’t treat them right or that they really don’t love…

  33. Conor:

    Getting married has to be the most common mistake people make. I think the mistake lies in the misunderstanding of what marriage is. It’s not the next step in a loving relationship. It’s not what you should do to be socially acceptable. It’s a promise, a vow. You are swearing an oath to love and be with that person FOREVER. If you’re not willing to stay with them no matter what, then you shouldn’t get married. I don’t think even 10% of people marrying in the western world understand that.

    Trusting everyone with a pretty face and a bright smile.

    thinking their brain tells them what they need
    when its their heart

  37. Alex:

    They judge others without truly getting to know them first. They judge based on the outward appearance of a person.

    You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

  38. Vanessa:

    Always complaining about their unhappiness, yet not taking initiative to improve their lives.
