RE: #22 Charisma
Five hundred years ago, when nice was first used in English, it meant "foolish or stupid." This is not as surprising as it may seem, since it came through early French from the Latin nescius, meaning "ignorant."
I didn't get credit in life for being nice. I didn't get credit for playing it safe. God was cold, merciless.
Flash forward 500 years to the present, this moment. Today, "nice!" means "way to go!" or "great job!" or "i like your post!"
Outside motivation and emotional support was a societal illusion. A consistently correct positive opinion from other people was like a drop of water in a sea of shit. I decided to only drink from my own sources.
