30 “Cheat Codes” That Are Overlooked In Real Life Because Of How Few People Use Them

Be careful about eating to make yourself feel better, because you can end up hating yourself for it later. I used to be like this. I feel bad, I eat, I feel better, then I feel bad later because I eat too much. Getting some sleep is solid advice though. Even taking a 15-minute nap can make you feel a lot better.

If you hate yourself, everyone, and the world, check your tampon supply, and get out the hotwater bottle. (This might just be me.)

A friend once told me 'never get too hungry, too lonely, too tired, or too horny' I think that is really good advice.

Thanks, I'm SOOOO cured. /s

So basically, I need to have a picnic, then fall asleep in the forest while it rains??

‘No’ is a complete sentence. You are the Captain of your ship and you don’t have to justify the choices you make regarding its course. If you need to stop a something or you need to take control of a situation that you find yourself in then ‘no’ is your go to word.

Regard saying "No" as giving useful and relevant information to the other person, information they are in fact entitled to.

But, how?

free time

I said no multiple times when asked to feed a huge feral colony near my home. The lady dumped these cats on the local tnr group, and our leader agreed to feed them. Well she asked me a bunch of times and after much arm twisting, I agreed to do it. I wish I hadn't the weather was horrible, and the younger cats started dying of pnuemonia. I found two most days in shelters and finally couldn't take any more death and said I wasn't going to do it anymore. I was yelled at and kicked out of the group. Oh well, one less person to help.

Absolutely true! But only works a number of times. There is a limit to the number of fukc upps you can be forgiven

Unless you're Donald Trump, in which case, you get to demonstrate this behavior ad nauseum.

Never start an apology with "I'm sorry if you" That's not an apology, that's blame.

Apologizing makes you look stronger not weaker

Makes you look like ah bc you are being an ah

This is why we nearly have no friends anymore. And thinking of all business relations, it is just tiresome.

Listening and not just only waiting for a pause so there is a chance for speaking is a skill many people don't have. I tried. For many people, three sentences are the maximum. Then they need to talk again.

There is a vast difference between Listening and Hearing. One can be you're only waiting for your turn to talk, the other is actually understanding what the other person is going through. Hearing them... I admit that I've been bad for not Hearing the other person in the past when I was young. I still catch myself doing it, not often but occasionally, and then check myself as in stern words to myself, "It's not about YOU right now so shut up and let them talk. If you've been through it? Advice after but right now? It's about them."

I worked in the corporate world for many years. The main thing I noticed about the TOP executives - Division Heads with 7-figure salaries - is the INTENSITY with which they listened to everybody.

I someone says some fed up s**t. No.

I'm trying to get on this path, it's so hard

too many people use this "philosophy" as an excuse to be an arshole

And when ypu weight 400 lbs and need a breathing machine maybe you could start giving an F again.

I hardly ever wear make-up now, takes too long and I usually end up with it sliding off my face in certain temperatures! 😄 My body is my body... Squidgy and a bit wonky! But it's mine 🙂 So long as, as others have said? You're not being an a**hole? Be you...

There are 8 billion people thinking 8 billion thing. How are you going to care about a few random strangers' thoughts?

Libraries will always be my Mecca

The public library here has a local seed sharing program for any gardener.

Not to mention research. I was looking for a book that was seemingly the only thing to discuss one local businessman from the 1800s. The library system had it, and it's currently in transit to my branch of it. This book is so obscure that a major university library system didn't have it (although oddly enough a smaller nearby university did). Not to mention all the free online resources it gets me access to. Libraries are amazing.

My small city library won international library of the year which is pretty cool. In addition to the usual stuff it has a kids science center that changes out the interactive learning stations frequently, a local public radio station, a 3D printer, and video equipment for making and editing movies or animation shorts. My kid goes to the stop motion workshop most Saturdays during the fall and spring along with checking out a bunch of books on the regular.

I haven't been to my library in years but they did have computers that you could book time on, I'm sure they still do. Incredibly handy if you've to fill out forms online for things like DWP Benefits etc and other official things but don't have a computer/laptop at home with Internet access.

My problem is I do too much of that

This is almost impossible for most bored pandas.

Just a reminder that 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, according to the U.N. If you feel the life-giving power of water in your own life, please take action to help others to feel the same.

Most people don't realize that taking a nice hot shower is a luxury. After a long and stressful day its like Game Shark level cheat codes lol

There are many people who would rather never be near a body of water and that's ok.

You don't have our town water, yuk.
