    It’s a good point, but in the real world where you have to go on living, you’re gonna have to deal with some of those horrible people every day, in order to achieve the things you want in the trajectory of your life. They only don’t matter if you’re abandoning all that. Should you take it less to heart? Probably. But you do need to figure out how to work through them.

      You should start doing this today

      Hey, I absolutely hear you: I’m an ‘old fart’ with nary a regret; I’ve told many to go fuck themselves, but I was also far too patient with far too many who should have been told.

      I’m no longer as patient is all.

        I don’t know half of you as well as I should like, and I like half of you as well as you deserve

          I love that quote. It sounds nice, then like an insult, but is actually still nice, in a blunt old man way lol

        I definitely would have done this. If some asshole yelled at me that I have 30 minutes left, I would have flipped him the bird and walked away.

      Yeah, what are you going to do when you go into work tomorrow and your boss starts demanding you to do something that doesn’t make sense? Just pretend you’re dead?

      So deal with those people when you have to deal with them and forget about them afterwards. Make a plan to get them out of your life.

      Unless you’re in prison or trapped in North Korea (or something similar to that), there’s always some way out. It may take a long time but you’ll feel better if you’re working toward a goal.
