A minor parking issue with my neighbour used to stress me out every single day.

​I tried talking to him once, but nothing changed.

​Fast forward 6 months: An elderly family member passed away at his home.

​I put our disagreement aside, paid my condolences, and offered him my extra parking space for his visiting family and guests.

​That single gesture changed everything.

​From that day on, he voluntarily adjusted his parking style to make space for me. It’s been 6 years now, and he still does it.

​In corporate life and personal relationships, we often try to solve friction with arguments or authority. But pure empathy solves problems that logic simply can't.

​What you give out always comes back.

Just a reminder :)

I have an issue with my gf being on social media. Specifically here, on Reddit. I get jealous when she states that she's posted on here or has asked for advice. I don't want to hear about it, and I'd rather she felt fine after talking to me instead but she doesn't. She's always had a thing for needing validation for others, which in turn makes me feel worthless compared to those she seeks this validation from. I'm insanely jealous, and have looked through her socials more than once. I feel embarrassed and regretful about it every time, and I know that Im insecure. Yes this is very much hypocritical of me as I'm also posting on here (albeit for the first time ever), and I'd rather her have absolute freedom in whatever she does -- without being jealous.

How to not give a fuck?
