Life is complex and nobody has all the answers. However, sometimes even the things that we think should be common knowledge turn out to be not that common.

A couple of days ago, Reddit user Lowertier4848 made a post on the platform, asking everyone to share "cheat codes" in real life that are overlooked because of how few people use them.

From admitting your own mistakes to listening instead of talking during conversations, here are the ones that have climbed to the top of the discussion.

    You're not responsible for other people's needs, problems, unhappiness. You may try to help, if asked. But if their demands cross your boundaries, NO is the correct answer.

    We got in touch with the author of the post, who is actually quite new to Reddit, and they agreed to chat with us about it.

    "[I got the idea to ask this question when] I was ... reflecting on how life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but there are always those little things you pick up that can make it easier, like tricks that save you time or stress," Lowertier4848 told Bored Panda.

    "As a new Reddit user, I thought it would be fun to see what kinds of 'cheat codes' others have discovered. The question came to me when I realized how powerful some of these simple insights can be, and I wanted to see what the broader Reddit community thought."

    So true, I talked a lot with a woman I liked, I know her daughters name, dogs name, she has 2 sisters and is estranged with her parents. Help her with some English translation for her job. She can't even remember my niece died of cancer or the name of my dog who is with me most of the times we talk. So I lost interest in her and she keeps texting me to meet up. But she just talks about herself.

    Lowertier4848 also said that as their post went viral, they recognized a few common topics.

    "I've noticed a lot of answers centered around communication," the Redditor noted. "Another recurring theme is self-discipline, with people mentioning how small habits and consistent efforts can lead to big changes over time."

    "It's interesting to see how many of these 'cheat codes' are things that we might overlook in daily life but can have a huge impact when applied."

    It makes sense that a lot of the answers center around emotional intelligence. Research by psychologist Dr. Travis Bradberry revealed that only 36 percent of people can be considered good at self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and social skills.

    According to Bradberry, those who are, among other things, have more curiosity, embrace change, can accurately judge character, are difficult to offend, and appreciate what they have. Surely they know more "cheat codes" than the average folk.

I can’t count the number of times I felt like a new person after washing my face or showering immediately after a long day, or calmed down just by the sounds of rain or flowing water, felt rejuvenated after drinking it… honestly i’m surprised everyday by the healing effects of water. Can’t be overstated imo.

    "I think a big part of [people struggling with applying these seemingly simple real-life 'cheat codes'] is that, even though these principles seem obvious once you realize them, they're not always easy to spot," Lowertier4848 told us.

    "Life moves fast, and people might not have the time to reflect and see these solutions. Plus, some 'cheat codes' take practice or a mindset shift to implement, and that's not always easy to do consistently. It's easy to overlook simple solutions when we're caught up in the complexity of our daily lives."

    One of the hardest things to do is get up. A shower can be a struggle. Once you've push yourself that far you might feel good enough to keep going. Once, I went back to bed with wet hair and wrapped in a towel.

    30 "Cheat Codes" That Are Overlooked In Real Life Because Of How Few People Use Them Being kind to people, even when you don’t have to be. Seriously, it’s like a life hack with hidden bonuses.

    People tend to remember those who made them feel good, whether it’s a compliment, a simple “How’s your day?” or just listening when they’re having a rough one. It opens doors, creates opportunities, and builds connections in ways that are more powerful than people think.

    Also, being kind doesn’t just help others; it makes *you* feel better too. It’s like a cheat code for leveling up in life, and it’s free!

    Being super polite whilst driving is another good way to relieve your own stress caused by the a-hole drivers. I've always been very thoughtful about things like letting people cross who are waiting at a side road etc, but it's even more rewarding when you know you've held up the impatient weapon whose been tailgating you all the way up the road :D

    This suggests that older people are 'better' at life—they've had more time to collect the 'cheat codes' to it, including arguably the most valuable one, acceptance of the inevitable. One study found that people in their 40s and 50s expressed a greater fear of death than those in their 60s and 70s. A later meta-analysis of 49 papers confirmed this and said that fear of death grows in the first half of life, but by the time we hit the 61-to-87 age group, it recedes to a stable, manageable level.

    "We definitely learn some of these cheat codes through personal experience," Lowertier4848 said. "But I also think mindset and attitude are very crucial. Some people are quicker to adjust their mindset and spot opportunities for improvement, while others may need more time or a change in perspective to see these 'cheat codes.' It's about learning, but also being open to new ways of thinking."

    True, as long as you're willing to accept the consequences. If you've signed a contract, there will be some kind of penalty for pulling out. If you've made a verbal promise and now go back on it, people may lose trust in you. Be prepared to make amends.

    Ironically this is now beneath the post: "Show up on time and show up to events you've committed to. People love to know you're trustworthy and pleasant to be around. You will be invited if you are the type of person who shows up when and where you say you will." So no, you are not allowed to change your mind all the time. If you have committed to something, make sure you follow through. So think before you commit. Both of these posts are right in the right context, but without, it's clashing. The commitment part: yes if you agree to go to a party. If you said you're coming, the only reason not to come is reasons outside your control (sick, cartrouble etc). The changing mind: depends. It sounds a bit selfish.

    #truth. Earlier this year, my wife and I moved halfway across the country for her post-graduate job. We only knew one couple in the region. After a couple months of looking and interviewing, I accepted a good job offer at a small firm (15 people) in one town, and later had an offer on a home accepted. Within the week, another larger (closer to 50) and more appealing firm reached back out for an interview. I went and it was just what I was looking for, but they were in a city over an hour's drive away. I accepted the second offer and painfully went back to the other guys and tell them "no". We backed out of the home offer and lost $10k. Big ouch. 4 months later, I've gotten to know a couple dozen people at the bigger firm, I think the work life balance is better than it would've been at the other place, and we landed in a dream home. I suspect I'd be struggling at the other place

    I think I get what the op is saying. Like how my sister felt pressured into getting married before they moved across the country bc of a job offer her partner got. They planned the wedding in six weeks, I learned much later that she wanted out right up until the last minute but even our mother pushed her to go through with it. Many years later, after two kids, a d**g addiction (him), an affair (her) and a whole lot of debt (him) they divorced. Another example - I felt pressured to continue on the corporate path that was bringing in way more money than I ever thought I'd make. I was wholly miserable. Eventually, with a push from my spouse and a bunch of support, I was able to quit and go back to school. Now I work as a pediatric SLP - and I love it. So much time wasted because we didn't have the nerve to step away from things that we knew were wrong for us. So much gained by finally moving in a new direction.

    Always thanking and acknowledging service workers. Tell the person bagging your groceries “Thanks for the help!”. Tell the person cleaning the restroom you are in “Thanks for keeping the restroom clean!” When you are paying your bill at the car dealership/local garage for service tell the person/cashier they were nice to work with. Tell the people that are fixing your plumbing you understand that although they couldn’t come out to your location yesterday you appreciated that that got the work done today.

    Not only is this something you should just do. But these small acts of kindness come back in spades. All of the people at these places talk to each other and they all know who the a******s are and who the nice people are.

    The next time you need something extra or have to make a call for a plumbing repair, etc. there is a good chance you are first on the list , or they will give you break. Possibly jump your car in the parking lot if your battery is dead. If you do it consistently and genuinely it will help you out someday.

    I was at the doctor's last week and the nurse is a bit ... well, she can be very harsh. She set up my MRI cd for the doctor while I was waiting and then left. I thanked her. She turned back at me with a surprised look. So, yeah, this nurse might seem harsh but I'm pretty damn sure that people don't thank her and the other nurses enough there.

    This is kind of manipulative. Sometimes "sorry" is warranted. Changing it to "thank you" means you're subtly manufacturing consent for your behavior.

    Currently, directly above this is a "life cheat" about just saying "No". Well, if we all say no, who is going to be the one to offer help? I think we all need to be a bit kinder and say yes when possible.

    Can someone please tell this to my husband? - although I am very grateful that he cooks so often, and he's so good at it too, so I let it slide.

    Spending less than you make.
    Seriously. It sounds stupid but a lot of people don’t really track their expenses. A lot of people fall prey to “I have it in the bank, so I can afford it.” Savings look small at first, but after a few years can add up to substantial amounts.
    And I don’t mean people who have nothing left after rent, food and necessities. I mean people who get in the habit of treating themselves to things they can *technically* afford.

    I decided that I really did not need anything. I have everything I need; my wants are few. I have my artistic endeavors and my books. So I quit spending money on more stuff. A few weeks go by and I see something I want. I check my wallet to see if I have the cash - I have a little over $600 in my wallet! It was then I realized that I quit going out to eat, buying snacks, buying books and buying art supplies. When you don't spend the money, that money adds up real quick.

    This is fine for single vision lenses, but not multifocals.

    Smiling at people - it seems to catch people off-guard often but they'll usually return the smile back. I've seen strangers' moods completely transform after a smile.
    Also, a (non-creepy) genuine compliment or acknowledgement.

    Show up on time and show up to events you've committed to. People love to know you're trustworthy and pleasant to be around. You will be invited if you are the type of person who shows up when and where you say you will.

    I would try, but I work from home and the corridor to my office is a challenge.

    I don’t think I have abdominal muscles anymore, it’s all just pudding cups.
