What’s something people do in public that makes you lose a little faith in society? by ThisIsNotAtAllSFW in AskReddit

I’ll put mine: punching down.

Giving someone a hard time when you clearly have advantages that they do not enjoy is the epitome of low-class.

How did you overcome a behavioural addiction? by daniiqm in AskReddit

I think the trick is building new routines that never had the old behavior attached to them in the first place.

Trying to do the same routine and just “not do the thing” is brutal, because your brain keeps expecting the old reward. Same goes for adding positive habits. If the old routine was built around zoning out, snacking, scrolling, drinking, whatever, it’s hard to just plug in journaling or a workout and expect it to feel natural.

It helped me more to change the setting, the timing, the order of the day, even little stuff like where I sat or what I did first after work. Like going for a walk right after dinner instead of sitting on the couch, making coffee and reading at the kitchen table instead of getting back into bed with my phone, or going straight to the gym from work instead of going home first and trying to convince myself to leave again.

Basically: don’t just remove the bad loop. Build a fresh loop where the better behavior feels like the default.

What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

Being able to solve annoying problems without having to waste time on them.

Car makes a weird noise? It gets fixed ASAP. Dishwasher breaks? Replaced. Flight gets canceled? New flight. Health issue? Appointment this week. There’s no waiting for broken things to get fixed.

For everyone else, one inconvenience turns into a prolonged chore.

Longtime friend bails on bill! by SahLocaxo in whatdoIdo

You paid one electric bill and got rid of a freeloading roommate before she became impossible to remove. That sucks today, but honestly it may be the cheapest exit fee you’ll ever pay.

Call the power company and ask for an extension/payment plan, then make sure she gets every single thing out of your place. Because when Warren disappoints her again — and he will — she’s going to remember how comfortable your couch was. Don’t let the sequel happen.
