I've decided to "pay them little heed" or logically reasoned them away, things have without fail gone bad

Interesting, isn't it? I think that part of the "paying little heed" is the brain saying it is uncomfortable, so tries to avoid doing the work. It comes back to bite.

I think a lot of people use mobility/freedom as an excuse too, but getting into a house without support backing is very difficult. My sister lives in Sydney and the prices there are insane. How does anyone even pay their rent?
