      I’m working on this, though i usually say - I’d rather get bitched at for doing it wrong than for not doing it. At my job it’s to emphasize the stupidity of the task and the lack of training on a shitty system.

    Don’t Write Lemmy Posts In Title Case

    Actually, I like capitalizing random nouns, so sometimes I might do that accidentally.

    “Don’t overthink it” & “worrying won’t solve the problem when you have to wait anyway”.

    I always give that advice. However, I, personally, always overthink and keep worrying.

      I would agree, but I’m still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

      True that haha

      In practice, I live by “never write any code that’s important enough for anyone to insist on testing it” 😎

    It’s not a problem if it takes you 12 tries and you still haven’t gotten it, do it a 13th. If I don’t do something perfect on the 1st or 2nd try I’ll most likely never do it again.

    “Your life is worth it, don’t give up!”

    Right as I think about my own suicide plans.

    I feel like a hypocrite.

      Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.

      Other times, there’s a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.

      I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.

      Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that’s an option.

      Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.

      I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.

      Oof that his home.

      All I can say is that things can turn it better, it has for me personally.

      It’s great of you that you inspire others, though, not hypocritical, it’s what we all need sometimes. Doesn’t matter if you don’t see it personally, you are helping another human being get along.

    If you just do the thing, people will stop asking you when are you going to do the thing.

    Try to hit the gym at least 3 times a day week. Daily if you can, even if it just means a light “spa” day.

        I overheard someone saying that rest days can be even more important than gym days because that’s when the body recovers.

        My body does a lot of recovering!

      Three times a day, or, if you can muster it, once a day!
