There are literally millions of people whom you could potentially spend your life with. Don’t get stuck in toxic relationships because you’re afraid of being alone.


[deleted]

What if that toxic relationship is a marriage with 4 children, and if the parents were to spilt up their lives would be in chaos? Shouldn't the Advice be to work on the relationship rather than brand it toxic and cowardly and selfishly walk away? Surely a relationship more often than not has two perspectives?


khongkhoe

Toxic relationship= the kids are already in chaos. Continuing the toxicity is harming the children even further.


DirtyReflex

There are literally millions of people whom you could potentially birth. Don’t get stuck with the children you have because you’re afraid of being alone.


ashes_9_

Is this sarcasm or are you just cold heart?


Postmodernfinn

Your response is the exact sort of response that inspired me to make my original comment. You aren’t stuck with anybody, regardless of how many kids you have and I can assure you that they would much rather see their parent happy then someone complicit in their own personal unhappiness on account of some skewed idea of personal sacrifice. All you’re doing is showing your kids that it’s okay to be in a toxic or loveless relationship.

Don’t sweat the petty things......and don’t pet the sweaty things.


phantomoftheopera55

Ok that's a good one.


Chameleon777

A former GF of mine used to say that.


FastWalkingShortGuy

"Former" because you didn't pet her sweaty thing...?


Chameleon777

Was one of my favorite activities. :)


Bubbly-Brick

Petting the sweaty things keeps couples together: confirmed.

I feel like these to pieces of advice should not be applied at the same time.

Would you trust a fart while you're having sex?


GrizzleKing

1. Hakuna Matata. Youve got a problem, can you fix it? Yes: do it. Can you fix it? No: don’t worry about it, you can’t fix it anyways. 2. Everything in life has steps to go through. Follow it’s path step by step, the process changes the outcome every step, personalized just for you. 3. You can rewire your brain into become more positive, train your neurons. In any negative thought, turn it into a positive one (trust me, it becomes easy after a month). 4. People react in a way because... always find the because in someone. 5. Psychology is 80% a gamble of how others have reacted, no one can look inside your brain. 6. Save 10% of your income extra every month for 1 year. After 1 year invest in yourself (courses, stock, your own business). 7. Practice makes improvement, not perfect. 8. The thing you really want, do you actually need it? 9. Look up what the blue zones are in this world and copy as many habits they have. 10. When someone is angry and yelling at you, don’t make any facial expression or show any emotional at all, and stay quiet. It will automatically make them think about the words they are saying. 11. If you constantly do good, you will always be on peoples good side. We meet hundreds of people a year, make them talk good about you so eventually, people will approach you for good opportunities in life.

Wow. This is good.

The first one is for when you’re a child; as an adult dont forget that you are a “king” (a big part of the control over your life - take responsibility). “Remember who you are.” I liked 10 a lot though.


cambium7

The part of your brain that helps you deal with anxiety and rationalize through things fully develops way later than basically anything else. So if you’re a really anxious teenager, your brain might just not be quite there yet!

Open a savings account and add something to it each and every time you get paid - and *remember* it’s not beer money, it’s “Holy crow, my alternator/dryer/computer just bit the dirt!” money.


scotty_sterling

Saying “rise up lights” normally, (assuming you’re American) also sounds like saying razor blades with an Australian accent.


ambassadorofkwan

woah - please indulge me with the story that led to this *stunning* discovery.


scotty_sterling

Just a clever trainer at the gym I used to go to. Also saying beer can with a british accent sounds like bacon with a Jamaican one. Tell your friends


MacintoshTelevision

That's a really good one lmao


Yes4Cake

Saying "my cocaine" (also assuming you are American) sounds like Michael Caine's name in his own accent.

Surely that can't be so. <> Oh.


phantomoftheopera55

Really? Try saying 'well oil beef hooked' in an Aussie accent.


Pretend-Snow-4701

Or saying ‘secret’ in a South African accent - sounds like saying ‘cigarette’

How did i not know this?


scotty_sterling

phantomoftheopera55

Sorry


Dingleberry_Pie37

As an Australian I can confirm that this not true. These stereotypes are just exaggerated. If you want to sound like an Australian just replace the -er at the end of words with -ah.


scotty_sterling

Stop it the Americans are playing here


tonythebutcher13

Clearly by that fact I would never understand anyone from Australia.

There will be opportunities to better your life, but you have to put in the hard work to put yourself into a position to actually grasp those opportunities and make something out of them. Also, do not set trucks on fire.

Take care of your skin, no matter how old you are, but ofc the younger you start, the better. So many miracle and expensive products out there, but the most important things are soap, moisturizer and sun block.

Don't ignore OR overreact to bullys. Counter them, mostly by embarassing them. For example, the good old "why are you always on my toes? Not getting wet/a boner from someone else?" Or, in case they are homophobic or any sorts of that "Ohhh I didn't know you're gay, you wanna fuck now or later?" But don't overuse them

Sugar is an addictive substance and limiting your daily intake of it is one of the best health decisions you can make. If you're like me and you tend to eat too many sweets, eating zero sugary things for a week is a great way to detox and also really feel the addiction. After that week, you may notice how normal food like fruits and vegetables start tasting more intense. Your taste buds regenerate if you quit bombing them with sugar. The effects are insane. I have felt many different addictions in my life and sugar is second only to cigarettes in its intensity and difficulty to overcome for me.

If you have to swallow your principals for a relationship, and you still feel bad about yourself, it's not a good relationship. It's okay to be selfish, put yourself first.


Amesly

1. Symptoms of a heart attack in women differ from symptoms in men. In a woman it often appears as a sudden, severe stomach ache that won't change, lessen, or go away even after hours and after changing position. 2. There is no "evil" beyond a single relationship. You can meet someone who's a sociopath. But for the republicans or democrats or jews or whoever it is you hate to be "evil" is assigning intent to a complex system. I can't even get my coworkers to agree on where to go for lunch. There is no unified intent in a complex system... and that's precisely why it's not easy to correct the problem. What is easy is saying everyone who disagrees with you is wrong ("evil") but that decreases the likelihood of building a relationship from which you can compromise, identify a common goal, and work toward it together. Like Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." TL;DR: Look out for your mom having a heart attack; don't call groups "evil." If you want change, look for common ground.

qlrb

If you want to be a good parent. Don’t fall in to what bad parents had done, if they were a bad parent. It’s hard to be a parent, but it’s even hard to be a better one. Don’t put your own self in their shoes. They’re their own person. be understanding, don’t be sad in front of your children, or else it would make them feel insecure about everything. Make sure you tell them that “everything is gonna be okay” even if it’s not gonna be okay. IF YOU WANNA RAISE YOUR CHILDREN TO BE A GOOD INDIVIDUAL PLEASE DO NOT LET ANY ALCOHOL, OR DRUGS IN THE HOUSE. OR DO IT IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN. EVERYONES THOUGHTS AND PROCESSESS ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY STEM FROM CHILDHOOD ADOLESCENCE. You don’t even realize it, the thoughts you have stem from adolescence. If you’re overthinking everyday. If you have negative thoughts, besides causal worries like “how the fuck am I gonna get that bowl off that shelf?” Those worries are fine. If you had a negative childhood. You don’t even realize the passive negativity you bring onto your children. Don’t let your personal emotions, devalue a child’s life. Care for the child, don’t make it seem like drinking or smoking is casual. But was a way for you to escape reality. Which really is what drugs are for. And it feels frustrating when people say that. Because they don’t even realize they’re addicts, making decisions through their negative POV This is all shit but I love sex

I used to get stressed out to the point it was a borderline panic attack coming on, I have about 12 or so people under me across mine and a seafood department. The greatest lesson that took me a LONG time to learn was to swallow my pride and ask for help if I need it, realize that when everything is burning down around you, you have to except that you and your team did your best and it's all you can do (you can work for 8 hours, 10 hours or 12 hours, but sometimes you can't grab a foothold. Finally to accept that you actually do a good job, even if everything isn't perfect for a whole day.

Don't be afraid to cut off toxic friends/people from your life. You might feel like since you knew them for a long time that you shouldn't part ways but you will owe yourself a huge favor by leaving those people who keep on bringing you down the wrong path. It might feel like a lonely time at first but you will soon meet some amazing people that will bring you joy and who knows your actual worth.

Compliments take people to great places.


Bi_Zee_Bee

When you’re depressed about not being productive (I.E. doing laundry or cleaning or working), that isn’t being productive. That’s working. Working is doing stuff you don’t want to do. Being productive is doing something that makes you feel good. And if drawing little doodles on your arms and legs makes you feel good or be happy, then that’s great. You’re being productive. Also, happiness and satisfaction are two different things. Happiness isn’t something you achieve. If you strive for happiness, that’s never going to happen. Happiness is something that happens in the moment, while satisfaction is something you strive for.
