Try to understand yourself better. Notice when you have strong emotions and question why. Revisit the same situation from different angles and try to understand what happened. Why did this make you angry, why did that make you feel ashamed.

Also don’t spend your life arguing online. It’s easy to get caught up in winning an argument. But it’s a waste of your time.

If it’s not a yes, it’s a no. If you ask someone on a date and they um and ah, that’s effectively a no. Some people are just bad of saying no.

To try to understand someone is not the same as respecting them. One can try to understand one’s enemy to better fight them.
