What's the harshest life lesson you've learned?

[Shawn Elestren]

For me:

1. You are immediately replaceable.
2. No one really loves you apart from your parents, and sometimes not even that.

Our deepest regrets never go away. We have to live with them, and learn from them.

Which requires admission of error, something that not a lot of people have the humility/intelligence to do, thus their entire lives are f*cked-up.

1) Never trust anyone.

2) Nice guys finish last.

Once I realized the above two things (many years ago), I became a better & happier person 👍

How to deal with so many deaths in my family at so young of an age... for me I never have really got over it and time has not completely healed me.

Your co-workers will throw you under the bus for no reason.
Life is completely unfair in every situation.

Be careful who you jump into bed with.

Literally and figuratively!

One harsh lesson I hope NOT to learn the hard way is thinking I'm not replaceable at work. No matter how loyal you've been to your boss, even if he likes you, that's never a guarantee he'll want to keep you on. It's amazing how much power employers have over employees.

Nonsense... You’re afraid to act, which is why your dick remains unused as a middle aged man.

for real, many guys lose their V card after HS in college, sometimes they just need the new scene to have a fresh slate. Granted I lost my V card in high school, I didnt get really active sexually until college. Broke out of the awkward sexual stage quickly down here

MJ is the same person that who drools and lusts over every young starlet in Hollywood, sits in front of a computer whenever not working... and wonders why they can't find a girlfriend. It is always some sort of excuse, but like anything in life, you have to work to make things happen, even if you are awkward socially. Stop relying on crutches and excuses, and if you are resigned to not better yourself and remain a virgin, just do so and stop complaining about it.

I am super secure in the fact I have a great relationship with my wife, the type I ALWAYS wanted, but am I going to sit on my laurels and let things play out.... no I am always going to put work into it. We do a great job splitting responsibilities and helping one another with housework, and our 1 year old daughter.
