What are your "rules" for life you've made up? Here's a few of mine take em or leave em;
"Never fully trust anyone"
What this boils down to is keeping an illusion of trusting people, when really having a plan set up should they decide to stab you in the back. Doesn't matter how honest, good, or pure someone seems to be, everyone is capable of lying.
"Don't get emo, get used to it"
Something I came up with recently. Life is cruel, and there's a hell of lot of things to be depressed about. Lonelieness in particular. Fact is, we, the "good" majority of this site are the last of our kind, moral beacons in the slowly devolving darkness of modern society. Now, I and I think many people around here, thnk they will be alone forever because they are ugly, and the equally ugly truth is, one good look around is enough to tell you that is the truth. So, are you gonna sit around moaning about it, or are you going to just get used to the fact, until it becomes as accepted as the fact that the tomb raider series will never be as good as it was on the playstation?
"Avoid weak emotions"
I'm all for emotional openness, but another sad fact of the world is that people like to destroy what appears weak. "What can be broken, must be broken". Don't think for a second if you one day start crying for whatever reason at college/work or something that people will help you, most likely, they will start trying to beat you up, because hell, to a mostly psychopathic world, that's funny right? So don't allow yourself to feel such emotions as sadness, loneliness, and fear, because probability is, if the majority of the people surrounding you never seem to feel it, they will see you as weak, pathetic, and an easy target.
"enjoy the little things"
A cold beer, owning people who are three times your level, your favourite film, drawing, the company of a humourous person, whatever. These things are what makes such a seemingly depressing life actually rather good.
Sure, harsh rules, but if there's one thing years of bullying and of observing the world's slow decline into chaos, it's self preservation.
