Have you ever received advice that you chose not to follow, and did it make you reflect on how things might have been if you had followed it?
The best advice I got is never to share my problems with those who dislike me. Instead, put on a happy front, so they don’t get the satisfaction of seeing what they want.
Lately, I’ve started doing that, and it actually works. If they see you happy, it can make them angrier.
I wish I had done that years ago.
