Strangers on the internet are usually pretty good at helping you self-justify whatever it is you want to do, because no matter what position you take, whether it is a really good idea or not, there is always someone on the internet who agrees with you.

Fine, if that gets you taking action when you're depressed, so be it.
Anyway in discussions like this I feel like what it lost is that you will actually respond to how compelling the thing someone else is saying is. Like, it's not "oh a bunch of opinions, I'll get influenced by one randomly and it's probably wrong". It's "oh, a bunch of opinions, which explain why they think they're right and how well it worked for them, I'll incorporate that into my own understanding".
