5 Best Ted Lasso Quotes Reddit Swears Will Cure Your Existential Crisis

What makes Ted Lasso so great? Not soccer, not even jokes — what makes this series truly compelling is the way it deals with the issues of mental health and overcoming past trauma. The show is full of inspiring quotes to help you become more optimistic and view your life from a different angle.

Here are just five of them.

5. 'The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.'

In Episode 7 of Season 2, Ted has another panic attack and decides to seek psychotherapy from Dr. Sharon, who shares this eye-opening wisdom with him. The only way to overcome trauma is to acknowledge it and recognize what caused it — however painful this journey might be, it is also liberating.

4. 'I try to love my dad for who he is and forgive him for who he isn't.'

For many of Ted Lasso's characters, childhood trauma is the source of their problems in adult lives. Higgins, who has a complicated relationship with his father, utters the line in Season 2, Episode 8. He never loses his optimism and accepts life as it is — as we all should.

3. 'Go back out there and have some f---ing fun.'

This is what Roy Kent said while helping Isaac deal with his anxiety. It's important to let go of all the overthinking and simply enjoy the moment.

2. 'Don't fight back. Fight forward.'

In a conversation with his son Sam, Ola said, 'Anger will only weaken you, and if you really want to piss off the people who did this, forgive them.' Resentment and revenge do nothing but drain you emotionally, and the best thing you can do is 'fight forward' to break the cycle of hostility.

1. 'Be curious, not judgmental.'

This phrase belongs to Walt Whitman and was quoted by Ted during a game of darts with Rupert. Before voicing your opinion on anything, be curious and try to fully understand the issue and sympathize with the parties involved. You'll be able to see the bigger picture and relate to other people and their situations.

Hopefully, the remaining two episodes of Ted Lasso Season 3, to be released on May 24 and 31, will be equally therapeutic and give us a few more inspiring maxims.
