2. Nobody really cares about your dreams. That is why you do it for yourself.

I would add 2 things: 1. Not everybody is going to like you, and that’s fine. Even the most likable, honest person will have at least one person who dislikes them. Nobody has 100% approval rating, so don’t get upset by that.
2. You will meet some people that you don’t like, for whatever reason. And that’s fine. Disliking them doesn’t mean you can’t get along with them, or at least act cordially. If their behavior is truly out of line, let them know, privately if possible, don’t be afraid to set boundaries.
3. It’s harder to make close friends as an adult. When young, you have plenty of time and opportunity to hang out, so it generally happens naturally. As adults, you have less free time and so many things competing for your attention: family, work, exercise, hobbies, etc. You have to make an effort to maintain friendships or cultivate new ones, or else you’ll drift apart. And 4: while you are ultimately responsible for your self and your happiness, it always helps to have people in your corner.

17 - you are a reflection of the 5 people you spend the most time with: That person can also be the collective "person" on a social media platform. If you spend all your time on reddit or facebook for example, that will shape your world view, personality, sense of humour... Be mindful of it and don't forget to step back and think critically.

Tapping into a local artists community brought deep friendships, playfulness and creativity into my life. 15/10, highly, highly recommend.

I take this. 👍

This is beautiful! I am 60 and agree with all of it. I'm living my dream life because I've gone against the masses and fought hard for what I wanted to do. It was hurtful, but also okay to see friends slip away as I grew. New friends come into my life. And you still hear from old ones from time to time. I hope to live to at least 90 to continue on this beautiful path of love, creativity, and success. 💖

Okay let's put a pin in this one right now. Everyone who doubts you will NOT always come back around. That bully might stay a bully for his (their) entire life, regardless of what you do with yourself. That girl (or boy?)who didn't want to date you will NOT always come back around, and they shouldn't. People choose you for their own reasons. You do not earn them like tokens for your progress in life. Your accomplishments don't entitle you to be chosen by someone. That choice belongs to the person for their own reasons.

I'm commenting on this because I see this opinion as the seed to having a really bad attitude when you do accomplish things in life and people DO NOT CHANGE like you hope they would. You can spend a lifetime trying to make things work with certain people. It's not supposed to be that hard. Find new people.

The hardest one to bite is 17:you are a reflection of the 5 people you spend the most time with...it kinda makes you doubt your marriage, family, friends...

Good advice, but I have to disagree with 16. People who don’t like you *do not* come back just because your life changes for the better, and they shouldn’t have to because they have their own lives to live. The world and other people’s lives don’t revolve around you whether you stay the same or change. There are literally billions of people on this planet, just forget the ones that aren’t for you and move on.
