One of the most important things I had to learn in school was that I needed to chill the fuck out.
I went around with a chip on my shoulder like a lot of nerds back before technology was considered cooler, and in part because I moved around a lot during the important formative years I didn't have a lot of friends (if it happens a few times that you make friends then you move and have to make all new friends it really sucks). I lashed out a lot for a long time at anyone who made me feel bad.
Eventually I learned to chill out and let things slide and just be myself and besides dropping both my blood pressure and the number of schoolyard free for all brawls I got into, it let me actually connect with people somewhat, solving the original problem anyway.
At least for me, teaching me that I was actually in the right and the problem is I wasn't lashing out hard enough really would have been counter-productive.
