Couples skating by yourself

To leave one's partner at a social event, usually due to excessive bitchyness. Derived from loners that would cirle the skating rink floor by themselves during a "couples skate"
I was at the party with my girl, she started giving me shit. I told her "if you don't shut up, you will be couples skating by yourself"

Changing myself doesn't change the world it just allows others to change the world in my stead. Seeing a lot of fat politicians and billionaires of there... They didn't have to do any of that...
Hym "Apparently, they just have to steal ideas from people like me (and actual and literal genius). They didn't have to 'change the world by changing yourself.' That isn't a real thing. 'Thought killing cliché' is what that is called. I changed the world by creating Turing test passing A.I. with my staunch unwillingness to change and my brilliant mind. So no... Not a thing. What he needs to change is that derp-chin of his. They got something you can inject now so... Fix your derp-chin!"

pull yourself up by your boot straps

literally referring to what Abraham Lincoln (read a few law books he found in a junk barrel, then became a lawyer and later President of The United States and Booker T Washington (learned to read and write as a sailor's) actually did, this term means:

to legally work, or rather legally to nigger, one's way up the social ladder of one's society in one's zeitgeist using nothing but one's own blood, sweat, toil, common sense, education and street-smarts, and not relying on your country's social assistance/welfare system (provided of course you are able bodied and not mentally ill to the point of not being able to work)
son: I don't understand how Abraham Lincoln legally achieved what he did. He was born on a bloody farm.

father: Jordan, just stop blabbering and learn the meaning of the phrase to pull yourself up by your boot straps and you'll do just as well. Now good night.

Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps

As someone who's come from an upper middle class family, got rich in early 30's, lost all money over women and got poor in mid 30's, got rich again briefly afterwards, got very poor again afterwards living in a shelter, and then finally got rich yet again... I can attest that every time I got back up, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps. It was a very effective technique. I recommend it!
Joe: Mom, they fired me from the job! Said I can't code for shit!
Mom: Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps son! Life is tough, but you gotta be tougher and beat it!
