- stop dwelling on people who are fuckers to you and don't like you for whatever reason. even though it's in your nature, sometimes it's not possible to get along with everybody.
- learn to ignore the bullies or stand up to them. stop avoiding them and escaping (and know that you will always, always be better than them).
- stop dwelling over things that didn't go as planned or go your way.
- stop giving up and saying 'i can't do this -- i should back away -- i'm not as clever as them' with every failure.
- push yourself and stop going for the easiest solution that doesn't require much brain usage.
- stop being scared of authority figures.
- stop taking every minuscule comment, word, look, thought that disagrees with you personally. everything is not about you.
- constructive criticism is called constructive for a reason, don't get so affected by it.
- other people have most likely never even thought about the small things you take into consideration.
- other peoples' behavior and/or emotions necessarily don't have much to do with you.
- sooner or later you're just going to have to accept that you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try, so learn to do what you do and like what you like without caring about others' opinions all the time.
- stop becoming attracted to people because they act comfortable/friendly towards you.
- learn to go with your instincts. trust that gut feeling, because more often than not, it is right.
- get out of that si/ti loop. it's not particularly comforting to know you're a critical perfectionist who is socially inadequate.
- don't be lazy.
- don't be so afraid; grab the opportunity when it presents itself. don't be so laid back because your friends are. instead, do what you want to do.
- learn to accept yourself and your flaws. you do not need praise all the time to feel confident.
- learn to have a "whatever" attitude.
