I've learned that in order for happiness to be achieved you need to be willing to give people the chance to help you. Doing things on your own can be bad for you as you end up isolated and on your own. Alone maybe but unless there are others around you to rely on and who rely on you, then you will not find authenticity in your own humanity,

No man is an island is a true statement that folk should try to grasp that gives us the knowledge that bridged should be two way between each of us islands

Love is more than someone paying attention to you. Sometime who truly loves you will want what's best for you, not just what you can do for them

Take your time getting to know someone you intend to spend a long time with. Love at first sight is not a reasonable way to make a long-term choice.

It's exciting and exhilarating, but not rational. You need to be objective about the pros and cons of a person, just as they need to be about you.

Just try to be better than the last mistake you made. Realize it was a lesson needed to be learned and try to move on from it but don't forget what you did. Always remember so it won't happen again.

Still-alive · Answer

Mine is that failure is a vital component to really learning things. i used to be afraid to fail and i know lots of people share this same fear but i think we really ought to rethink how we see it. we do things and we may fail but instead of feeling ashamed or sinking into a depressive state over it we should instead just examine it closely. why did you fail at the thing? what could you have done better? ask these questions and take it in and the next time a similar opportunity arises (and in my experience it almost always does) you'll know what to do.

So yeah learn from failures don't be ashamed.

That women never forget anything you do or say. I've taught myself to think long and hard before doing or saying something that may come back to haunt me! If my wife and I are having an in-depth conversation, it takes about 2 minutes for my brain to process what she said and what my response is gonna be before it actually comes out of my mouth.

4. Understamd compounding
5. Life is not spontaneous combustion, you have to set yourself on fire.

Trust those that are close to you and care about you when they give you advice. Whether it's family or friends. They're looking out for you and in my case, would have kept you from making really bad decisions 🤦 Luckily they all never held it against me lol A friend of mine has the best lesson! "Never trust a scale! Trust how much better your clothes are starting to fit"!

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

I need to watch my mouth, as much as honesty is something society values it’s not to the point that I can just say whatever I feel in totality. If I do, people’s feelings get hurt and I’m told I can’t be like that anymore, so we lie and change the words around so I’m not as honest. I don’t understand why neurotypical society has these extra rules outside of what they claim to value.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Relationships are the single most important part of life.

As a result: Never take them for granted. Readily express your appreciation for others. Be extremely hesitant to criticize, and when you do so, find ways to build the person up to the extent you are able. Be receptive to, bids for connection from others.
