What has the last two and a half years taught you?

Whether it’s positive/negative/mixed or all of the above, what are your life lessons?

That I actually do need a little bit of social contact.

This was discovered when I chatted the hind legs off the Farm Foods blokey during the Pandemic when doing my weekly shop.

Since covid, I've learnt what's important on my life and what I want to prioritise, namely my physical and mental well-being.

That people I know are full of virtue signalling bullshit. All that ‘oh if you ever need anything’ shite they spout on bookface.

When I needed them…..silence.

A positive. The fun we had as a family while all in covid jail. Learning how to entertain ourselves on the cheap has been a load of fun.

To get out and live my life. It's been a blessing tbh. Before lockdowns I just spent my free time in the house, watching Netflix with a takeaway, I hadn't even had sex in 3 years. Now I'm out drinking every other week, meet up with my friends almost daily, made loads of new friends and got back in touch with people I'd lost contact with and I really love and enjoy my life.

I'm sticking to fab lessons Tea.

I learnt that I do need to socialise at parties with accompanying adventures. That sifting through instant gratification seekers is hard bloody work. I found my social travel boundaries and have met some amazing people.

Kink exploration has grown and matured and I found some labels I feel secure with

Narrowing it down to the last 8 months, I've been really unwell with my mental health to the extent its mainly luck I'm still here. Abd I realised some people are vile some people ate insincere, but most of all i realised many people are fucking amazing, are kind empathetic, supportive and full of love. And that however bleak it feels life really is worth persevering with.

And that's probably the best thing I've ever learned

Don’t get married.

Choose your bubble wisely.

If it looks like shit, smells like shit and feels like shit, it’s shit.

There are many recipes for sangria, ignore them all.

When moving to a new area and a rented house, get one with a drive to park on.

Trust your instinct.

An enforced job change due to covid redundancy has taught me to find a better work/life balance. Earning much less but virtually stress free.

Sex wise it hasn't taught me anything as it was just a blip.

Fab wise it has taught me that idiots really do grow on trees.

Confirmed to me that I have some good friends and possibly would not be here without them

Need to continue to work on finding a life purpose and give myself more credit for small progress

And not take this place so seriously

Nothing to do with covid but I’ve learnt this. If you need to know something just ask. You will get a yes or no answer. Simple really.

The other thing is, if I’ve something important to talk about, I will have a proper conversation not a text chat.

To actually say yes to things more. As much as I enjoy my own company I do need to socialise with other people.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Fab lessons: I am even more intolerant of half-arsed messages sent with (possibly by) a penis.

I'd like to go to a club again, but not on my own.

Life lessons: It's ok for me to turn down work I know I won't enjoy doing. Stressing about the money isn't a strong enough motivation for to risk my health. Something will turn up.

I'd like a relationship and I need to get over my nerves about putting myself out there.

Life is brutal and can change your situation in an instant.

Love with all you are, hold people tightly , do what makes you happiest and don't take a second of time with people for granted as everything can change in an instant and they will then be gone forever.

I’m an avid history fan and used to wonder how the nazis were able to dismantle a democratic German state in 9 months. Covid showed me how they did it, how fragile it actually is here in the UK.

It also showed me how people with everything will still whine and play victim.

There is not enough space in this box to tell you all my life lessons of the last two and a half years. I’d break the forum if I tried like Jim did once with his really long thread title that time

To summarise though, be it a positive or negative experience there’s always something to learn from it and make yourself a better person than you were yesterday. People come into your life, some stay a long time, some leave just as quickly as they’ve arrived, but that’s perfectly ok they’ve gone. All it means is you learnt/taught each other whatever you were meant to learn/teach and now they are off onto the next lesson with someone new.
