I stumbled upon this video about interpersonal relationships, and although some of the things it says are a bit painful, they’re actually pretty reasonable. 😂

For example: “Never, ever try to be a good person—be a person with real strength.” And “Don’t make excuses for yourself.” Justifying yourself is lowering your status.
The core, really, is about value exchange and setting boundaries.
It feels like I used to be too much of an overly nice person—I need to learn how to be “not someone to mess with.” 🤣
