3 thoughts that would have made my life easier if they had come to me sooner:
1. Don't trust people who break the chain of command and allow themselves too much in communication.
2. If a certain person evokes unpleasant emotions, you need to eliminate communication with them. 
3. Either you take from a person what you need and what was agreed upon.  Or, by giving weakness, you agree to little. In the end, this weakness of yours can cost you dearly. https://canhrau.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/nhung-hinh-anh-phong-canh-dep-nhat-hinh-19.png
