    • Any work or study done during an all-nighter is a waste.

    • If you meet someone and all they do is talk about themselves, they won't be a good friend.

    • Nobody really cares how you look or what you wear. And anyone who does has bigger issues they would rather not deal with.

      Depends. I did some of my best work at this time (private project. not for my actual workplace).

    You can just ask people out. You can just ask to kiss someone. I was in my mid 20s when someone told me the first one, and late 20s when someone told me the second one. Dating got a lot easier after each revelation.

    I was never going to "find myself" and so I should have just gone to college with my friends for computer science and made the good money when jobs were easier to get even though I had no interest at all in it. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that jazz. Now I'm a worthless schmuck in a factory living in someone's garage paying their mortgage in rent prices.

    All my interests are hobbies, some of them even too expensive for me to do lol they're nothing you can monetize.

      Work is for making money, hobbies are for spending money. I think a lot of people mix that up and lose their enjoyment; money changes your perspective on why you're doing something.

    I'm a perfectionist and I realized I've been making life too hard for myself. Choosing a low bar for success but keeping the ceiling high has felt like a much healthier approach.

    The sunk cost fallacy is a very easy way to get stuck being miserable.

    Sometimes a drastic change might be painful at the time but will be much better for you overall.

    The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

    When we learn that it doesn't matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

      There’s always someone who will look at your life telling you you’re doing everything wrong. And you know what? That’s fine. It really doesn’t matter.

    I was today years old (20) when I realized to not rely on anyone for anything. You're on your own in this small little world.

    Take it sleazy. Not for everyone, but for some people the most productive way of getting stuff done is doing it with less effort. Don't go too fast and burn out
