Your spouse does not exist to provide you with free therapy, laundry, food, cleaning, and sex. You have to respect someone's boundaries even if you don't benefit from them. You have to be able to look after yourself and pull your own weight. You should be able to help them and pull extra weight if they're struggling. If you are looking for someone to serve you or complete you, you are not ready for a relationship and you should not be in one.

The OP told Bored Panda that some things are best heard from someone you don’t even know. “I asked this question because I needed to hear something that I did not want to hear. Having a complete stranger say something you’ve been thinking or feeling emphasizes and confirms to you if you’re justified or not in how you feel. That’s because they have no bias, they aren’t even directing something specifically at you, which makes the advice or anecdote all the better.”

I like a physicist's explanation. The universe does not create more nor lose any of the energy it contains. All energy changes into a different type of energy - either chemical, electrical, radiant, mechanical, thermal or nuclear. So if we are our bodies - the energy of our cells and our organs - then we never really leave the universe when we die. We merely change into another type of energy. We are born of the energy of the universe, and at the end, we return to that energy in a different form.

NIV Ecclesiastes 3:18-21: I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” All of Ecclesiastes has this vibe. The teacher who talks in this book is said to be Solomon, because the teacher is David’s son, or at least someone who has taken on Solomon’s persona. Solomon was the wisest king, because he asked God for wisdom, yet he still found life meaningless. Hevel. A man can toil under the sun, but what does he get? He becomes old, and must pass his work and gainings to a son who might not even appreciate the hard work his father went through for it

According to them, sharing stories can benefit people in numerous ways. “For example, people may experience something they feel is normal, but without the anecdotes of others and the added opinions of commenters, they would not discover 'x' is actually bad, or traumatic, etc.,” they said.

It's still better to have wasted two years on something that didn't work out than wasting ten years on it because you figure you've invested too much to quit.

That, at the end of the day, I'm responsible for what happens in my life. Sometimes people do s****y things, that are unwarranted and out of my control, but I get to choose how I react to it and how it impacts my mental health. If I want to be free, its on me and no one else. Someone f***s me over, I shouldn't have trusted them. I got fired from my job, I should have been a better employee. Oh, that boss was a d**k? Well,he didn't show up with a gun and force me to work for him.

Basically, the world exists. Businesses, governments and the people that make them up exist regardless of me. I am responsible for navigating that to the best of my ability.

Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, but this is just moral cowardice.

Pain, sadness, anger, fear, sickness, loneliness are all necessary for you to appreciate happiness, togetherness, serenity, healthiness and life in general.

There is nobody in the world who can save you, it’s all on you. Be it your mental health or your happiness, nobody can help you truly except yourself.

Perhaps I don't give a damn. The opinion of others is not going to make my life one bit easier, so allowing that to rent space in my head is insanity.

My success is more a product of the circumstances I was born into than a product of hard work.

You can't force people to reason, if they don't want to. Also if they want to do something with you, they would do something about you. And finally - for some people actions and words go in completely opposite directions. Always look at the actions. In a sense I knew all these things theoretically, but it's different when you get the experience to validate it

Egocentric Bias.

We tend to remember things how they pertain to ourselves, not other people. Often our memories of our experiences put ourselves in the best possible light to maintain our ego.

Somebody can do something that's really embarrasing. They'll typically recall that it was no big deal and people laughed.

We'll yell at people who drive poorly and complain about it later. When we do the exact same thing later on we chuckle and laugh it off to maintain ego.

When we complain about people being stupid, we've usually done the same thing before. We forget quickly due to our egocentric bias so our ego can be maintained. We s**t on others for doing the same thing because we don't remember we do the same s**t and it boosts our own egos to do so.

We're all dumb sometimes. That's okay.
