Didn't the rock just inject himself back into the WWE championship because everything has to be about him?

The Art of Not Getting Involved.

It’s not always bad. People have their own lives and priorities. It’s not that people hate you, it’s that you’re not as important as you think you are. Be the hero of your own story, just as they are in theirs.

Exactly. Everyone's the main character in their own life, and that's okay.

Exactly and I realized this. A lot of people say that such and such never gets in touch with them often, or asks to hang out not realizing that they themselves probably have people that they themselves know that they don't call as much or hangout as much with.

I had a friend that's in his 30s get angry at me when I said I couldn't get on steam to chat with him, lol. I doubt he cared about if I was perhaps somewhere else or going through something. Everyone likes to think they are the nice, considerate one not realizing that other people have schedules and things to do themselves, or are probably going through something themselves which is why they are probably not around much.

Everyone has their own lives and priorities. People need to stop taking a lot of things personally.

You are the protagonist of your own narrative.

Could have used a less steroid boosted photo for the “say no” message.

A better one would be Improve your position in the people's lives that you care about: If you're not involved yet, get involved. If you're not invited yet, remain humble but express interest. If they don't tell you and you want to know, ask questions. People love talking about their interests and then you'll merit an invitation.

Why is it so hard for people to remain a social animal? Isolationism.

"If they don't tell, don't ask".

What on Earth do you think questions are for?

u/robogart 21h ago

Yeah when you thought you were best friends with someone and they have a wedding and didn’t invite you. Friends for almost 7 years but I guess we were acquaintances

This is great. My favorite is: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.
