Be careful of who you show your weaknesses to.

People will use that shit against you.

I'm serious. Just go around acting like everything's perfect. Deal with your problems yourself.

Yeah that's true unfortunately

Rule #1--You have to live in this world the way it is, then you can try to change it. Never show weakness. A lesson I wish I had learned long ago when I still had a chance....

That's what I have been doing since my early teenage. Now, I don't even need to show it. I solve my own problems. I don't believe in anyone recusing me. I fight my own battles.

I can give you names of people having nervous breakdowns who took that philosophy. They found that they couldn't deal with problems all by themselves. Such as grief of a dead child.

@HerKing of course there are extenuating circumstances

Yep. It's true. I want to share to be authentic, but then I think that no good deed goes unpunished many times.

@PoizonApple This is perhaps why we truly never know even those close to us. Everybody hides something and then our own perceptions cloud seeing the other person properly. We filter it through our expectations, dreams, society, etc. This in a nutshell is mostly why relationships are a messy clusterfuck.

People are so variable anyway.

@PoizonApple I'm so jaded at 51. Never married. Was afraid mine would turn out like friends. I know few remotely happy married people. Few. Eventually one or both cheat, the resentment builds over crap and well you just change and don't share much stuff in common anymore. Married people are great though in minimizing how miserable they are.

Well yeah, that's like 'be a hard ass' 101.

@Elegy I'm getting harder-assed the older I get.

@PoizonApple Luckily for you, some people just need a hard ass in their life.

In this way, life is like one big game of Survivor, getting the drop on someone.
