Compromise. Accepting a harsh blow and moving on.

That you are in charge but not ness in control

Things can and do get worse

CooCooCachoo · 16/07/2020 20:55

How few people are really genuine and sincere.

Catawaul · 16/07/2020 20:57

That you're really on your own.

That I was very naive and used terribly but someone who I thought was a friend. After reading many CF threads on here, I started to put up some boundaries and things got nasty, it was terrible in the moment but a very good lesson for the future.

Don’t eat bread

Once a liar always a liar

That you have to weigh people up carefully and trust no-one. Be mindful of what leaves the mouth and the ears the message may fall upon.

That I don't take criticism well.
I'm not great with authority.
I'm useless with money.
It would have helped to have learnt two of those much earlier in life.

This sounds daft, but my Dad is such a lovely bloke, kind, patient and caring. I was very naive and sheltered, thought all men were like this.

So I settled young, for the wrong man. Because I thought he's end up kind like my Dad. I sound so stupid.

grafittiartist · 16/07/2020 21:03

He he- and that I am not great with technology it would appear!

PicpoulPixie · 16/07/2020 21:05

That people can actually be that stupid. Never ascribe malice where a lack of attention is more likely.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 16/07/2020 21:30

Bluebell I genuinely think that's a beautiful thing to say and it's not naive at all.

It tells me you come from a loving family.

Justanothernametoday · 16/07/2020 21:49

@GisAFag snap!

Rowenberryjelly · 16/07/2020 23:27

To keep my mouth shut.

BoomShacks · 16/07/2020 23:55

That you can only really rely on yourself.

Tedsmum2017 · 01/08/2020 20:05

Never lend money you can't afford to lose.

How a lot of people aren't really your friend they're just users.

There's givers and there's takers in this world a lot more takers unfortunately.

How two faced people can be but they're lower than a snakes belly.

To breathe, count to ten before reacting.

Wish I'd known all of these earlier in life.
