if alphas in the omegaverse knew that we referred to it as the "omegaverse" and not the "alphaverse," they'd throw a fit

Learn the Art of Being Unbothered

We've all been there, a person dislikes us and decides to try to make our life hell by constantly provoking us looking for a response and a scalation to make us lower ourselves to their level.

Choosing to ignore these kinds of people and being selective in how we utilize our energy and focus is a crucial skill to develop as one becomes more successful, popular, and elevated. The truth is that this world is filled with miserable people who want nothing more than to bring others who are doing better down so they can feel better about themselves. It's up to us to not give them that satisfaction.

When someone attacks you, you must assess the situation and realize if retaliation is something the attacker is worthy of. If the attacker is of lower status, intelligence, or success, and is lashing out at you with unfounded accusations, the best course of action is to ignore their entire existence. This will help to starve them of the attention they crave, minimize exposure to them and their lies, and make them go over the edge.

Retaliation is something that needs to be carefully planned and assessed. It should be saved for people who have the means to do active harm to you. It's not something to take lightly. Nobodies trying to get a reaction out of you do not deserve the time of day, more often than not, they will end up making a fool out of themselves without you having to lift up a finger. Remember that and stay classy.

[ID copied from alt text: A digital comic showing Ladybug standing with her elbows on a railing, her hands up in the air in exasperation as she says, "so i found out that my boyfriend's father - gabriel agreste - was actually my arch-nemesis hawkmoth, who has been terrorising the city constantly. and he actually got both of our miraculous and reshaped reality and then he disappeared. so i told everyone that he - gabriel agreste - helped me defeat hawkmoth and now everyone thinks hes a hero. plus he apparently created my boyfriend from the peacock miraculous. so now ive been lying to my boyfriend about being a superhero, about his father, and about how he's a sentimonster."

"so that's what's been up with me lately," Ladybug finishes, looking over to the side.

It cuts to show Zuko staring at Ladybug, sweating nervously. "um…"

Zuko shrugs his shoulders and says, "that's… rough, buddy?"

While Zuko says that, Chat Noir lands on the roof they're both standing on. He's looking down to put his baton on his back while saying, "hey, my lady, sorry i'm late. you wouldn't believe what -"

Chat Noir looks up and cuts himself off to ask, " - is that zuko avatar?" End ID]

prince zuko, i am hawkmoth. i have given you the ability to regain your honor. nobody will be able to evade your capture, especially the avatar. all i want from you in exchange are ladybug and chat noir's miracu--

"Don't indiscriminately brutalize your labor force" seems common sense, but turns out governments have been fucking that up since Greece.
