On Killing An Acquaintance
When you have values and you feel like they're violated, you need to speak up about that.

When your values are violated, that person is no longer someone you can have as an acquaintance. It is unfair to yourself and to other people to leave worms around that argue for the fun of it and spread negativity about nothing.

Good riddance to you Ian. I never want to speak to you again.

I'm saying this out loud so it feels more powerful, and starting today I would like to stand up for myself more.
I see things all the time that make me very mad and then I bottle them up and end up shaking and having an anxiety attack, and I feel like some of that could be solved or at least used more wisely if I just talked to people when I had issues.

It is okay when people do not like you. Not everyone is ever going to like you, and the pursuit of having everybody like you or think you're reasonable is a fruitless effort. It will kill you.
