"‘Believe in yourself and anything is possible’? Nope, it’s just not true."

Yep I agree fully with that being nonsense. But at least it implies some modicum of responsibility or necessity of action even if it's just "belief".

One I've heard a few times lately (from some people) is stuff like "The universe will provide" "the universe cares about us". That's even more irritating because not only is it nonsense, it implies a complete lack of personal responsibility.

"You are the universe. Provide for yourself."

Nonsense. You aren't the universe.
