What is the most bitter lesson life has taught you?

What are some of the dark lessons that life taught you?

Some dark lessons from the area of love:

The person who cares less has the most power in a relationship.

No one will ever be able to make you feel loved unless you love yourself.
You can't change others.

No matter how hot you find someone, you'll get used to their appearance faster than you like.

The cute little quirks of today can be the soul-crushing flaws of tomorrow.

We will all eventually become old and unattractive in the eyes of society.

Often, the less you care about a particular woman, the easier it is to end up with her.

Both sexes are easy to manipulate with the same principles that marketers use to sell us crap – scarcity, commitment, reciprocity, authority, social proof, and liking.

Men will never know how it feels to be a woman and vice versa.

You can love your partner till death and still want to sleep with others.

No matter how dark some lessons are, it's still worth it.

You can't always get what (who) you want.

Love, dating, and relationship can't be "figured out" logically. They require empathy, vulnerability, and honesty.

Emotions change all the time. It's possible to think you love someone with all your heart, but then one day you sober up and find out you truly don't.

When in love, everyone becomes an *****.

"Show me a beautiful woman, and I’ll show you a man who’s tired of sleeping with her."

The higher you set the expectations from the beginning, the harder it will be to maintain the relationship. E.g., Send your girlfriend flowers every day and it will be cute for the first three days, cheesy after that, then awkward, and finally unbearable.

The opposite of well is well-meaning.
