    Being alone doesn’t always make you lonely, and loneliness doesn’t always mean you’re alone. The feeling of loneliness derives from feelings of helplessness or hopelessness.

    Counterintuitively, some people make you feel lonely. Abusive people, even if close to you, will often make you feel lonely. Apathetic people can also make you feel lonely.

    I’m not sure if this will be a revelation to everyone but it was to me.

    DO NOT actively try to help anyone who is not sincerely asking for help

    A small amount of selfishness is necessary for a healthy life

    Don’t put up with abuse. I let a woman take advantage of me and abuse me, mentally, emotionally, and physically, for almost 4 years. I was determined not to hit the 4 year anniversary, but I feel stupid letting it go on at all. She still tries to reach out and every now and then but I’m over it. I let her have a ton of control over my life back when we spent time together.

    It was hard dealing with it and it was hard getting over her.

      Bad relationships are like bad cars, after you have spent so much time trying to fix it you don’t want to “waste” all that effort.

    conflict-avoidance often leads to lying, and lying will lead to greater conflict. The truth will set you free.

    Hard work does not always lead to success. Most of the time, it just leads to more work.

    You can’t just pretend that you’re “driven by logic” and ignore your “weak” emotions forever. If the foundations upon which you build your personality are rotten, there will be point where it all comes crashing down. Until that moment you just waste time pretending to be someone you aren’t.

    HR doesn’t work for you and is never on your side. They exist to cover your employer’s ass.

      Reminds me of a quote from a Reddit comment years ago:

      “Sometimes we lack the strength to communicate, and we whisper what we need to shout.”

    Understand that people will come and go in your life. For better or for worse.

    Just because you’ve known somebody most of your life don’t assume you know anything about them. They can surprise you, for better or for worse. And for my experience it’s generally for the worse.

    People change and sometimes it’s best to just let go.

    It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

    Captain Jean-Luc Picard

    You can do everything right and still lose, still face heart break, and still face setbacks.
