"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Do you enjoy the day? Are you living life truly happy?

I had conditioned myself to believe I didn't deserve to be happy and I was always looking for ways to bring myself down. If I was in a good mood something just didn't feel "right" and I would always try to find ways to put myself in a bad mood because that is where I was comfortbale.

Do any of you think like this?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Overall yes, no question about it. I do have peaks and valleys throughout any given day/week/month, though. But compared to most people, I think I'm quite stable, in that my peaks and valleys are comparatively less in magnitude. I am obliged to say that overall I am quite happy and positive about my life and my perceived future, because if I weren't I'd have no qualms about suicide.

I am considered by others to be negative and cynical when approaching any given issue, but it seems like you have more of a Depressive tendency, which I do not.

I'm sick of your positive attitude, you need to stand in the corner and pout.

Satan came to me and said "its good to smile. It gives you a warm feeling, like the fire. Where you will be spending the rest of eternity, when you'll die." Then I woke up and smiled happily, because I don't belief in fairy tales ;)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
