What was the biggest thing you learned this past year?

Question

pass_the_celery98 · Accepted Answer

Try to have patience, focus on your health, don’t beat yourself up if you don’t meet every expectation in school or work, try to have faith with God, give yourself time to relax, surround yourself around the right people. I was just watching tv and there was a news broadcast and they were discussing New Years resolutions goals. Realistically, saying we will be in the best shape of our lives, paying off every debt, travelling the world, meeting someone and etc. are goals I have. But they can’t all be attainable. Maybe some of those plans may be completed and accomplished by 2023 or 2024.. who knows but I think people should not stop having hope and I think that’s the most important. For me, I just want to graduate, focus on my health and I’m getting closer to paying off everything since the debt thing was lingering over me since 2018. I need more time for myself and just being appreciate about the little things, having the ability to see, to walk, to talk, to think with a coherent mind. We can’t control what happens in our world is there is another world war, if this pandemic will ever go away or if there will be another economic collapse (ie: Great Depression). Just take it one day at a time and try to make the right choices to the best of your ability.

That no matter how lonely I felt, it could still get worse. And it did.

I shouldn't invest too much in helping strangers if they have a hard time.
It sounds rough, but when they after several months where I've been there over text, say they want to kill themselves and then get angry at me for calling the cops because I worry, them lying to the police about how they felt and later make it sound like it's no big deal, and keeps asking if I'm still mad at them for how they acted as if it wasn't a big deal... then I'm just done.

I know I tend to be too nice and naive, I hope I soon do learn my lesson.

I know this sounds like a cliché but I've learned this the hard way. You should always tell your friends and family that you love them. You never know if it's going to be the last time you're going to see them.

DiegoO · Answer

I learned that sometimes is necesarry to completely wipe off certain things (or even people) from your life, for the sake of your mental health and the mental health of beloved ones. Also, I learned the process is not gonna be easy (never), neither linear (there will be ups and downs) and fast (it's gonna take a long, long time).

Learned also to never give up the attemp to change for better, even when you think you're ultimately failing, because the ultimate fail is to not keep trying.

Another golden lesson I learned, is to keep off from places that are detrimental for my wellbeing. Those places that easily take out the worst of you. From that I understood is absolutely necesarry to love myself more (l
and life in general), otherwise I'll never the greatest lights of my life.

I've seen darkness for to long.

Idontwantausername1 · Answer

I learned that if you fake that you have confidence and tell yourself you have confidence, tell yourself: pff, this is easy you can do this, no big deal, this will result in actual confidence. My quote of the year: "faking all this confidence until I actually got it". And for the most part I'm in the "actually got it" part.

VC182020 · Answer

Don't rush into anything and always communicate. Met this girl recently and we've become very close but unfortunately our timing is very off with what she's going through and what I've been going through. However, just by talking we both know where we stand and have become very close friends. Something more in the future? Who knows, we aren't thinking that for ahead but what I found out is that words are powerful and we do not use it enough. They say actions speak louder than words but this time words speak WAY louder and I'm thankful that both of us could do that. So communicate with those you want in your life.

jaybee281 · Answer

That I'm a very good liar - I mean I knew I could lie about homework - but that was next level shit - And the second thing is what made me lie and manipulate in the first place - which is that even people you call brothers could be the biggest pieces of shit out of either jealousy or wanting the girl I'm with or jealousy stemming from that - Basically I was oblivious to all the fake people I had around me

MCheetah · Answer

That people are dumb enough to politicize vaccines (pro or against).

That vaccine mandates are happening and people aren't lynching politicians proves how many people out there are brainless sheep.

And that many pro-life people are hypocrites.

NopeWhatTime · Answer

I learned to keep my priorities straight and know what level of change I can and can't accept. I used to have to plan everything to the tiniest detail and hated change in all its forms. Between the uncertainty of the pandemic, politics, etc, and the fact that it's my senior year of high school and my last year in my hometown, I've learned to plan what I can, embrace what I can't, and not freak out if plans change.

Kaamraj · Answer

The biggest thing I have learnt in 2021 is that you have to be content with yourself and not rely on anyone for anything. When we were having month long lockdown and curfews, I received little call or care from people whom I helped out in the past and was in constant touch with. At first it hurt me then I learnt the lesson. You have to have hobbies eg. reading, music, coding, even video games, that you can do by yourself.

Heartache0405 · Answer

Accept changes to your life even if you really don't want to go through with it because it tends to be a better alternative to what you originally hoped for. I got my first apartment and have been driving more even though I have a major phobia of driving. Also looks as though I'll have to find a new job because my current job which I absolutely love doing doesn't pay enough... And I don't want to leave it behind... But I probably will have to next month...

x - 3y - 3 = 0

3x - 9y - 2 = 0

Solution: x - 3y - 3 = 0

x - 3y = 3 --------> (1)

3x - 9y - 2 = 0

3x - 9y = 2 ---------> (2)

Solving (1) and (2)

x - 3y = 3

3x - 9y = 2

Multiply Eqn (1) by 3,

3x - 9y = 9 -------> (3)

3x - 9y = 2 ---------> (4)

Trust is a very important thing. Irrespective of what people tell you, it’s the action that counts at the end of the day.
I saw people betray me, by speaking out my secrets which I had entrusted them with.
I too feel now that a secret can be kept between three people when the other two are dead 🙈

jasco · Answer

That people only care about their own interest. Regardless if those interest are clearly wrong and proven several times to be wrong, if its not what they want than it don't matter. People are selfish, ignorant and evil. People would rather invest in things that don't help them or society than invest in things that would keep people safer and help those who simply don't know what to do. Everyone is awful online anyway. In person most people are normal. The internet is crazy

Anonymous · Answer

That I can’t just let things happen on their … I have to put in actual work and discipline to get to where I want to be and accomplish things. You can’t accomplish things by sitting in your room, walking to the kitchen and back, NO. You have to get up find your “loophole” to break that cycle you’re in and begin to move forward by working hard to accomplish what you want to do.

When I saw how many people didn't get vaccine because of their suspicions about it. It told me our days as a species are numbered. I mean 40% didn't get it. I'm not sure we can survive with that many stupid people in the world. They'll eventually be the end of us all.
