    Just woke up, my parents, brother, and half of the country still hates me.

    So, which of my family members do I eat first so I can stop hating them?

    (Or maybe do I try eating the rich first 🤔)

    Or you have a gout flare up, then you hate everyone and snap at your 90 year old grandmother for no reason.

    Two important lessons I learned in my forties:

    • If you think everyone hates you, everyone probably hates you.
    • If you think you hate everyone, you probably hate everyone.

    an important lesson from my forties, the only people worth the energy of hating are estranged family, politicians, and insurance executives. just about everything else you gotta let go.

    Another one that helped me:

    If you’re anxious about stepping out your comfort zone, you need more sleep. I had to do something unusual at work last week, but last week was also the week where I moved my sleep time back to 7 hours (instead of 6). I had no issues going anywhere and was full of confidence actually. Not sure if more sleep helped but I think it did the biggest lifting

      The great thing about this is when it’s your anxiety that prevents you from sleeping well. But if I can sleep (which normally means I can afford to “finish” my sleep and get enough hours after the 2.5 hours no-sleep interruption in the middle of the night), things are indeed better.

      When you are exhausted you function/perform less well making you harder to work with to others.

      When you are hungry your ape scarcity mentality will make you assertively fight for food. Your pets do this, its a natural mechanic.

      They missed the other big one:

      If you think you’re hungry, drink a glass of water first. You’re probably just thirsty.
