How to interact with other people

o I didn't have an awesome time in High School but now I can actually look back at it totally pragmatically without feeling any pain

Now I can be vindictive and hostile back to the people who were vindictive and hostile towards me in the first place, there's no confusion or hurt anymore

There's no semblance of the thought that I'm Friends with those people, that notion was my weakness

They're not my Friends and they never were, they were just a group of people who were hostile towards me for no reason

They're extending Olive Branches now but obviously; I do not care

Surprisingly that wasn't the biggest lesson I learned I learned from all of this

So not having an awesome time in High School actually taught me the ideal way to treat other people, like I said, I can look back at it pragmatically now

Step 1) Step out of your comfort zone, this is impossible for normal people but back in High School I didn't have a choice, I was chronically out of my comfort zone, normal people not only don't know how to step out of their comfort zone but they also don't know how to interact with people who aren't mentally exactly like them, they simply think there's something wrong with them and act hostile

Step 2) Get a good read of how that person perceives themselves and what their comfort zone is

Step 3) Interact with that person on their terms and be genuine with your approach

Ironically; it's because I was ostracized by people who actually had no social skills whatsoever despite what they tell themselves that I was able to develop immaculate social skills myself later on in life

I can do all those things instantly and effortlessly now, it's not going to seem like a multi step process the way I do it
