What's some advice you wish you received much earlier

“When people come to you to establish a boundary or a need or to express hurt feelings, that’s a compliment, not an attack. That is them wanting to develop the relationship and trusting you to listen and care to do better. And no matter how sad you are about accidentally hurting them, it’s a GOOD thing that they cared to have a hard conversation with you”

i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.
