Life is hard for all of us.
You are not special.
No one is coming to save you.
Stop being a snowflake

Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz on what is required to learn:
"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all."

"As long as we continue to think we will be happy in the future, we will never be happy in the moment, and that is the same as saying that we will never be happy. If we think that our lives will be better when we get that better job or retire, stay or go, gain or lose weight, or when our children grow and leave or come back, we are putting off the happiness that there is in today."

The Rude Customer
A cashier smiled and greeted a customer, but the man snapped back, impatient and rude.
The next customer apologized for him, but the cashier simply shrugged. “If someone hands me poison, I don’t have to drink it.”
The kind customer nodded, realizing—someone else’s anger is their burden, not yours.
"You don’t have to accept every negativity given to you."
