"You do you."

What does that mean to y'all?

I see that comment tossed around here like if it's some type of great response. Sometimes to posts where people are seeking advice between a number of options and all they get is "you do you." Like, wtf? If that's all you can bring to the conversation, don't even bother.

And yes, I am aware this will bring at least a few "you do you" replies to this, unfortunately.

It means do good and be rewarded or do bad and faces the consequences but just take accountability and you do you. The person saying this just doesn’t want to give you time

Dang I was 100% about to reply “you do you”. I think people feel better about themselves when they leave those comments.

You do you means trust your gut to make the right decision for you.

To me it means figure it out yourself. As a Gen Xer it drives me bonkers the handholding that some people need here. That said, also as a GenXer I just scroll by and think it to myself rather than wasting my time posting a you do you response.

I know someone who uses that as a response to everything. I hate that line.
