I used to live by that rule, but it turns not everyone likes to be treated the way I like to be treated. So now I just ask how they want to be treated.

Just a trick I picked up from the BDSM subs ;)

Exactly. I had to learn this too. I am unusual in a number of ways. When I treat people how I want to be treated I am often mistreating them and damaging the relationship. People are different and need different things. You have to communicate rather than unilaterally apply your self-empathy.

Yeah, there's a lot of things IDGAF about myself (like my birthdays, etc.) that make it easy to forget that for other people it means a lot. So even if I'm a cool acquaintance I'll be a shitty friend :(. I'm working on that

the golden rule

In case you didn't grow up with it, the golden rule comes from Jesus' saying that no matter what it is, there exists pornography of it on the internet.

Nope, because what you want might differ from what they want. So the rule is: treat people how they want to be treated.

This has been my number 1 rule since I learned I was being an arse.

If I treated people how I want to be treated I would get arrested

What if I want other people to fight me?

I'd kinda say the opposite. Like hey man. Light taps. Hold me if you got a story you wanna play. I got fake blood in my shorts and can really sell it. Let's give them a good show and I'll see you at my bbq tomorrow.

If you're hearing those rules in a basement, from him, good news

Ah sorry I'm late. Was too busy sharing with people how awesome this fight club concept is. What's the first rule of fight club?

4

The first rule is don't talk about the first club. The second rule is DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE FIGHT CLUB!

I always forget most others but the 8th (which is the last one) is if you're new, you have to fight.

If you're hearing Tyler durden describe the rules, in a basement, no, you are not.

That rule sounds nice, but people can have very different expectations. This is a rule that shouldn't be followed strictly.

"What is the first rule of Hero's Duty?"

"Uhhh... no cuts, no buts, no coconuts?"

bonk "NEVER mess with the first person shooter!"
