Best things you can do for yourself:

1. Do not make being a "nice person" a defining part of your personality

2. Do not make being a "rude person" a defining part of your personality

3. Home cook as a group with friends as often as possible. Pool your groceries and have a dinner party

4. Do not make being a "good person" a defining part of your personality
