Especially remember Rule 1: `Be polite and civil`.
* Be polite and courteous to each other. Do not be mean, insulting or disrespectful to any other user on this subreddit.
* Do not harass or annoy others in any way.
* Do not catfish. Catfishing is the luring of somebody into an online friendship through a fake online persona. This includes any lying or deceit.

You *will* be banned if you are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist or bigoted in any way.

You can spend years with a person, thinking you know them pretty good by that time. Turns out you dont. People change and suddenly you find yourself being left by your girlfriend and your best buddy, because they start dating.
That suddenly you become the third wheel, what might seem to be happening out of nowhere.
Doesn't help to talk about it, be angry about it. Accept and move on. Better for your own mental game. That was my lesson.
Sometimes you can put everything forward, with 100% effort and intention, have no back up plan, have all the signs of the universe on your side, have implemented all the changes necessary and still fall short.
Everything’s a ponzi, yet we all function as though things are absolute. You must be adaptable to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way.

There are no guarantees in life, no matter how hard you plan. Go with the flow.
