Life is like a 1v6 where youre equipped with a spoon and the other team has AK 47s

Our teacher covered this in elementary school decades ago, providing detailed explanations in subsequent classes. It wasn't part of the curriculum; she took the initiative to teach it herself.

1.Get clearer objectives to achieve your goals (and write them down)

2. Reduce difficulty as much as you can (set smaller goals to accomplish the bigger goals)

3.Gameify resistance/discomfort (by consistently doing difficult tasks and gaining experience, things don't get easier; you get stronger.)

4. Reflect on the rewards that real life has to offer and understand that taking risks are required for real life rewards.

In Spain, Europe, in the 90s, my school had a subject called "ethics and moral" where we discussed any conflicts going on between the students in class or with a particular teacher and ways to address those conflicts.

Not trying to solve the conflict itself like the teacher telling the guys "say I'm sorry to him", but more like using them as an example:
"when one is struggling with this -even as an adult-, these are the tools we have:
-ask yourself why this happened, why I feel this way, why I reacted...
-saying sorry if we thing we messed up,
-understanding the reasoning of the other person (not agreeing but understanding, so we can negotiate a solution better), improve empathy
-looking for solutions we both can agree, negotiate,
-provide information to the other person so they can understand you,
- talk in an assertive and smooth tone,
-check on how to protect yourself emotionally from the harm they are projecting on you,
-check on ways to protect yourself physically if you are threatened, etc.

Problems dont become easier. We just get better dealing with them.

should be known for all humans living here

Especially when your parents teach you nothing about life. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve done too many healing modalities, but those experiences have definitely been useful “classroom” time. Traveling has been one of my greatest teachers.

Makes me think of my mom. Autistic with neglectful parents, she had to “study” people to figure out how to interact and socialize. She would observe and study people and then practice what she learned like an intellectual pursuit. Now she works with businesses selling them insurance and benefits packages, going out of town to meet with clients and give presentations and such.

perfect example of “big words = listen to me “

I relate to "getting bodied by life".

The problem is learning how to deal with people who can't be bothered learning about life... I am sick of trying to learn just to fail again 😢

[Blitz_Beast]

I've literally learned more from this channel of how to live life then from my own parents, school, or the society and climate i was born into.... that's pathetic, but I'm very grateful for this channel

[andreubs]

I would recommend learning more from your grandparents. Intergenerational conversations had always been a way to teach these things. And with the perspective of a long life, they can put your life in context. Old people are wise! Pay attention while they are around.

I only want to know now, where I can learn to live life

[ChannelOfJoris]

I've been intentionally learning to live life for the past decade and I've gone from being a complete shut-in living off my parents to living self-sufficient with a partner and amazing friends. I can't say life has become easier since there is always something new I have to learn, but I am definitely living happier and with purpose.

Been saying the education needs to be overhauled with this in mind since schooling completely failed to make a functional adult out of me.

[xedaph]

Im so lucky to have an instructor who teaches us this, he often inserts in some life scenarios into the lessons and stuff, and hes one of our majors too

[Blackcrowcaw]

I have a lot of friends in PhD programs and this problem seems to be magnified x10 for people in demanding careers or in the upper echelons of academia

[vyronfuentes]

Yeah true life is very hard 😭 I don't always feel peace many overthinking, stress, problems, mental issues
