A true friend will risk your anger to help your future self. - Mark Manson

But the problem with entitlement is that it makes people need to feel good about themselves all the time, even at the expense of those around them. And because entitled people always need to feel good about themselves, they end up spending most of their time thinking about themselves. After all, it takes a lot of energy and work to convince yourself that your shit doesn’t stink, especially when you’ve actually been living in a toilet.

People tend to overestimate their romantic relationships and underestimate their friendships, i think the most stark example of this is that if you look at mental health data and happiness data of people who are single, they're generally happy and healthy, as a cohort. If you look at people who don't have any friends, they're horribly unhealthy. In fact there's a statistic that gets passed around a lot, that says "Social isolation is just as adverse to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day". Which is shocking, you wouldn't assume that.

The best moments of your life won’t look like the best moments of your life while they’re happening.
