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
Nope, because what you want might differ from what they want. So the rule is: treat people how they want to be treated.
second rule of figh club is you don’t talk about the golden rule
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.
i thought that was rule 34 from fight club
I want to be pegged.
You know what you must do
What if I want other people to fight me?
If you're hearing those rules in a basement, from him, good news
I’m your huckleberry.
I will guess everyone is a masochist from now on
You wouldn’t be wrong about me!
That rule sounds nice, but people can have very different expectations. This is a rule that shouldn't be followed strictly.
The third rule of fight club is don’t yuck others yum.
But this meme breaks the first rule of Fight Club!
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?
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.
If you're hearing Tyler durden describe the rules, in a basement, no, you are not.
In Tyler we trust.
If I treated people how I want to be treated I would get arrested
What if I have self destructive tendencies?
Then you are a menace to Society Inc. Begone foul creature
Are you treating me how you want to be treated?
