Some Friendly Advice in anticlimatic

Assume everyone likes you, but don’t count on it.

Never try to leverage someone’s feelings for you into doing or giving you things.

If you need something from someone that you don’t have, offer more than what it is worth in whatever currency YOU can afford- crafts, labor, etc.

If you dislike anxiety, you can trade it for stress by taking on more responsibilities. The amount of responsibilities one has tends to pair with how much of an adult one feels- to the effect than you cease feeling ‘beneath’ anyone (or their judgement), and instead get to worry about checking to-do items off of a list.

The more fake your social ‘front’ persona is, the more extreme and unhinged your ‘real’ persona might seem to you, or those you let see it. This is compensatory, and you will likely surprise yourself with how normal you actually are if you merge the two.

Will power is the currency of change. Intellect is static- what you’re born with is what you have. The education system tries to enhance it anyway, but typically succeeds only in obedience training (not necessarily bad, in a united society). However- the single most important and self-beneficial thing you can ‘work on,’ is not the intellect- but will power.

The greater your will power, the greater your ability to change yourself, your environment, and the world entire. Will power should be priority 1.
