I used to live by that rule, but it turns not everyone likes to be treated the way I like to be treated. So now I just ask how they want to be treated.

Just a trick I picked up from the BDSM subs ;)

Exactly. I had to learn this too. I am unusual in a number of ways. When I treat people how I want to be treated I am often mistreating them and damaging the relationship. People are different and need different things. You have to communicate rather than unilaterally apply your self-empathy.

Yeah, there's a lot of things IDGAF about myself (like my birthdays, etc.) that make it easy to forget that for other people it means a lot. So even if I'm a cool acquaintance I'll be a shitty friend :(. I'm working on that

second rule of figh club is you don’t talk about the golden rule

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the golden rule

In case you didn't grow up with it, the golden rule comes from Jesus' saying that no matter what it is, there exists pornography of it on the internet.

[–] onestop@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

i thought that was rule 34 from fight club

[–] Iapar@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope, because what you want might differ from what they want. So the rule is: treat people how they want to be treated.

This has been my number 1 rule since I learned I was being an arse.

You know what you must do

I will guess everyone is a masochist from now on

[–] clark@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

You wouldn’t be wrong about me!

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What if I want other people to fight me?

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

I’m your huckleberry.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If you're hearing those rules in a basement, from him, good news

[–] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

In Tyler we trust.

But this meme breaks the first rule of Fight Club!

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah sorry I'm late. Was too busy sharing with people how awesome this fight club concept is. What's the first rule of fight club?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

The first rule is don't talk about the first club. The second rule is DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE FIGHT CLUB!

I always forget most others but the 8th (which is the last one) is if you're new, you have to fight.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If you're hearing Tyler durden describe the rules, in a basement, no, you are not.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If I treated people how I want to be treated I would get arrested

[–] Arthur_Leywin@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That rule sounds nice, but people can have very different expectations. This is a rule that shouldn't be followed strictly.

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

The third rule of fight club is don’t yuck others yum.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What if I have self destructive tendencies?

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then you are a menace to Society Inc. Begone foul creature

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Are you treating me how you want to be treated?
