I don't get it. Why would I not take criticism from anyone? I always find it helpful to get feedback from people around me, also from those I wouldn't directly ask for advice.

It is soooooo much easier to admit you made a mistake than spend your life trying to hide it from people.

So so true.. I nearly had kids with my guy but something made me reticent. He cheated on me, got the mistress pregnant, married her, had 3 kids, then left her for the new mistress. Marry the mistress, create a new job opening.

Can relate, but couldn’t do it. Still can’t. But luckily I love my wife and love sharing my life with her. Also I hate myself alot less since we work on ourselves, our relationship and help eachother.

Great advice. It makes you think before maybe saying something hurtful in the heat of the moment

No, it isn't. It's a complete answer though.

I cringe at my current self...

Omg - I cringe at times in my past so strongly,'I groan out loud. Now, I feel so much better about the cringe! I'm evolving. That's so refreshing. I like myself more already!

Unless you’re a mature adult and the past you’re cringeing at is last night…

I don't know why, everytime one of my cringy times memories starts to build up I try to wave it off singing the choir of Werewolves In London. Works.

I must’ve grown a lot in the past 2 years…

but today you get fired if people find out what you did when you were young and stupid. shitty time to live

Agreed.. It is good change. What is not good is talking to someone you knew a while ago and mentioning about the stupid things he or she did. People change and for better at times. Talking about something stupid they did in the past is cheap and honestly shows how little you about that person

Did that. Worked well so far. First the told me there’s not much more I could do, also everything would take time. I got some offers in for new jobs, told boss. Getting a mini promotion and a raise with it and my work will be responsibilities.

Change it to poor fitting shoes!

Let's add Mr. Rogers.

Friendship is a gift we give to ourselves and each other...cherish it❣️

Who ya gonna call...Ghostbusters.

...and your skin.

Indeed, yes!

This is true for every kind of human relationship, but especially romantic ones. No, he or she won't change into what you want them to be, and you can't make them.

Never invade Russia in winter

Also remember to put your brain back into your head in the morning. It's not going to help you if you leave it under your pillow!

I was never awful to retail workers, but the pandemic has made m genuinely grateful for the work they do, and I make much more of an effort to be nice. I can't tip most of them, but I can express genuine gratitude for their help and hard work.

Yes- KINDNESS FIRST!

Children who are read to become readers themselves. I grew up in a family where there were bookcases all over the place, and the one on the second-floor landing had a big overstuffed chair right there. I never saw my parents reading because they both had full time jobs and five children to care for, but I can remember being snuggled in the crook of my grandfather’s arm as he read to me as a wee child.

Same for gambling.

I have a separate plunger for the kitchen sink, because you can get plungers at the dollar store. Splurge on a 2nd plunger!

This little guy looks pretty honest though. I'd maybe trust him. Yeah. I could trust that little fellow. Everybody else: no. This guy: defo

This sounds so wonderful, but clearly this person didn’t grow up with someone who never handed out praise and made a full-time practice of criticizing everything you ever did wrong and then punishing you for it...standing in the corner for an hour was getting off light!

True. And at the end, alone, feeling like you lost a decade or more on being miserable in relationship with wrong person.

And the funny thing is the longer you are married the more you are "in sync" with the other person. Gawd in heaven I still love that man, even more than when we got married.

And even if they do, no one really cares. And if they do, they’re not really friends.

Drunk isn't listed sooooo I guess that's a green light, yeah?
