People need to stop competing with one another and stop striving and buying things they don't need. Just try to be helpful and nice to others who need help and we need to tell some to fuck off a bit more often also.

What I'd neglected was building the self worth, and confidence to be able to tell the 'idiots' to 'sod off’ when it was needed.
