Six Important Rules I Live By

[Shiningtempest]

Here are 6 important rules I live by. If you are interested in the rules I live by, I encourage you to read my post.

1. Don't Associate with People Who Get My Name Wrong

I strongly despise people who get my name wrong because I find it insulting & annoying. Therefore, I won't associate with people who get my name wrong to maintain my sanity & tranquility.

2. Don't Associate with People Who Change Plans at The Last Minute

I dislike people who change plans at the last minute because I see them as immature, irresponsible, and or untrustworthy people. Hence, I won't associate with people who change plans at the last minute.

3. Don't Ridicule People for Being a Picky Eater

I don't ridicule people for being picky eaters because they might have a sensory issue, digestive problem, or allergic to particular ingredients. By not ridiculing people for being picky eaters, I will have an easier time maintaining a friendship.

4. Trust Brain Over "Heart" or "Gut Instinct"

I take action(s) based on evidence because I know that following "gut instinct" or "heart" is a recipe for failure. Therefore, I want to associate or work with people who trust their brain over "gut instinct" or "heart".

Trusting My Brain = Higher Chance of Success

5. Don't Associate with People Who Like to Banter

I maintain distance from people who like to banter because I know they're incompatible with me. By maintaining distance from people who like to banter, I can retain my reserved & serious demeanor.

Banter = My Pet Peeve #2

6. Ignore People Who Tell Me to Leave My Comfort Zone

I ignore people who tell me to leave my comfort zone because I value tranquility more than growth. By ignoring people who tell me to leave my comfort zone, I will have less stress to deal with.

Staying In My Comfort Zone = Maintaining My Tranquility

[HorggleThorp]

Agree with the rule about criticizing picky eaters. Lol I’m probably a pickier eater than you.

[BigschlongEnergy]

So you won’t leave your comfort zone I’ve met people that won’t leave there comfort zone I guess what all of them have in common? They all Have back problems and other Skeletal issue’s because they’d rather have comfort Until They develop Back problems and arm problems because Working out Is a no go for them because they’d rather be free from Strength gains because it’s too painful to them because there weak. Well I already know What’s gonna happen to you when you get older you’ll have back problems.

[Jamesier]

Lol 😂 😂 😂 This makes sense

[BigschlongEnergy]

Yeah I don’t know about you @Jamesier but I’m not gonna Develop skeleton Problems if I don’t have too.

[Shiningtempest]

@BigschlongEnergy We'll see about that.

[SaoirseS]

If your name is Mike, I can see how rule #1 might be reasonable.

If you have a name like mine, or if your name is Pitchararapeekarn Lekphaijit (a real name of one of my friends), then I wouldn't be so strict about it.

[hafinjun]

Why what did I do?

[SaoirseS]

Lol 😀

[Guy13]

I’m not so certain, given your demands of others, that I would want to hang out with your perfect Self…

[Shiningtempest]

@Guy13 Six important rules I live by apply to both people, not just me.

[Guy13]

If I followed your rules, I would not be a Business owner. Your rules, although admirable, are of one who is of an entitled Class or never been in the world…. especially ,2, 5, & 6. You seem very insensitive and frankly do not like or appreciate people for themselves at all 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[Shiningtempest]

@Guy13 I generally don't like talking to strangers because their tendency to get my name wrong & banter drives me nuts.

[Charlesbrandonf]

One have to die now if he/she want to live in that ideal world.


I want to get along with everyone. It’s not them it’s about me. I’d train myself to get along be friendly around everyone.

[Shiningtempest]

@Charlesbrandonf If you think I follow those 6 important rules because I have to die now, you're sadly wrong.

[Charlesbrandonf]

I could be wrong. And that’s fine. Id be happy learn new things.

[AviatorTom]

I'm not in favor if negative rules. I prefer positive ones, like "Offer to help someone without waiting for them to ask"

[Kudos4U]

If you followed the logical chain of your assumptions to their conclusion you wouldn't find the satisfaction you think you'll achieve at the end..

[Shiningtempest]

@Kudos4U I'm willing to pay whatever price needed to adhere to the six rules I live by.

[AndrésC64]

You need to get over the first one. I can honestly only think of once in my entire life for someone got my name right. It's not a big deal.

[Shiningtempest]

@AndrésC64 I have no tolerance for people who gets my name wrong in any shape or form.

[AndrésC64]

Get ready for a lonely, unhappy life.

[Shiningtempest]

@AndrésC64 If having lonely life is the price I need to pay for not having to deal with people who get my name wrong, then so be it.

[ArtemisSilver]

Wow, you sound like one joyless bastard, well done.

[purplepoppy]

I don't think we'd get on
