Reply to TIL that due to "Subjective Age" most children and adolescents feel older than they really are. But this switches at around 25. By age 30, around 70% of people feel younger than they really are, with the discrepancy between actual age and subjective age growing over time. by AspireAgain

This is why older people seem so desperate for your attention, they think it's friendship, not persistent lecturing. They think it's mutual when they tell you how to live your life. How tragic.

Reply to comment by Sauerteig in LPT Request - how to respond to people who constantly try to one-up you and diminish your accomplishments? by idkifik

Maybe I misunderstood, this is not a workplace issue where you have no control over the proximity to people that constantly require validation? People you choose to be around will have their own liberties, by all means, share your life in a way that isn't toxic, with people who aren't toxic. Duh? Are you 12 and still enslaved to family culture? Small Town mentality types blocking you into a defensive corner about your value to a small portion of the world population? Sorry if I misunderstood.

> we are forced to accept it.

and if it's a bad deal, people get paid to decide if lawyers get paid to argue about it. failure is a job's program, the fact that this is a school is a double slap in the face: how can any kid trust adults that are so blatantly corrupt and wasteful for the sake of casting blame and creating more jobs.

And not one of you overpaid big wigs can bare to imagine a learning opportunity about electrical installations? not a single adult knows how to work a screw driver to install a breaker box? this is bureaocratic horse shit. who is paying these fucking morons? There's gotta be ten homeless guys that can fix that for a fucking burger. household electricity is fifth grade science.

Reply to LPT Request: how to deal with an emotionally draining friend I have to see on a daily basis by mercurysnowman

Are you buying food for each other? Are you dependent in any way that is not a friendship courtesy? If all the words and conversations dissipated, is there any benefit that you will miss? Are you learning from this person because they are "bringing something to the table" or are you learning to have a smaller table?
