1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Eliminate all the shit that drags you down. This is what I did
- Cut my shitty toxic family out of my life.
- Cut all shitty toxic people out of my personal life, doing that for your professional life is much harder.
- Stopped smoking pot and taking other intoxicants daily.
- Stopped eating bad food and sStarted exercising regularly; this really helped my sleep schedule.
- Quit smoking cigarettes… holy fuck that habit drags you down.
I take notes and have discussions with my partners; often we try to diagnose what may have happened, and try to make them lessons-learned from future endeavors.
I don't. I embrace it, learn from it, beat myself up for it and try to do better.
How do you embrace something that hurts you?
