Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it's within your control, go do something about it. If it's not, you're just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.
I saw a woman on TikTok say she was a "good girl" her whole life. Did everything the "right" way. Followed the rules. Kept the peace. Put everyone else first. Now she's in her 40s , said all she feels like she has to show for it is grief and a lot of built-up anger...and honestly, as a woman, i felt that story deeply. bc nobody really talks about how being the "good girl" often benefits everyone around you except the actual good girl always..
Everyone else gets the patience, the understanding, the sacrifice. And she's the one left realizing she spent years shrinking herself just to keep everyone else comfortable…
Autistic and ADHD people will be like, "hmm, I'm not certain, but I think..." after they've done 10+ hours of research on the subject and know more about it than most experts.
HR: We lost the employee today.
Manager: What happened?
HR: He resigned immediately.
Manager: Over a desktop background?
HR: Yes.
Manager: That makes no sense. It was a simple policy issue.
HR: It was not simple to him.
Manager: He changed the company wallpaper to a family photo at the beach.
HR: Yes, and when I asked him why, he said it motivated him during long hours.
Manager: Personal images dilute brand immersion.
HR: It was a desktop background, not a public campaign.
Manager: Rules are rules. Company devices should reflect company identity.
HR: He told us it was not hurting anyone.
Manager: That is why I reset it remotely and restored the company logo.
HR: And then you updated his file with “potential loyalty drift.”
Manager: I was documenting a concern.
HR: He understood it differently. He felt the company had a problem with basic humanity.
Manager: It was just a background.
HR: Exactly. And if even that much personal space is treated like disloyalty, employees start to see what kind of culture they are in.
Manager: How did he resign without a back up job? That's a red flag.
HR: When employees leave without even having a backup job, it is usually a red flag about the company, not the employee.

aggressive reminder that it's totally fine if you go to a concert and don't know the words to all the songs. it's fine if you found a band through tik tok. it's fine if you only know the popular songs. this weird elitism is preventing people from getting into music.
