For summer, I plan on doing something a little unique. Since high school is over, the next big thing is college. Before then, I want to improve myself. I feel that I need to cut off contacts with all my friends, and explore my surroundings. Get a job, meet new people, learn to not depend on my friends, etc. I know i can do all those while keeping in touch with my friends, but i feel like it won't be the same. I need to do this on my own with nothing holding me back. Do you guys think its justifyable?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

Why would you completely cut off your friends? Unless they are really bringing you down, like they are drug addicts or something, then that seems a little extreme. What happens if you want them back?

college is a chance for new beginnings. Do a "houdini" change your address, phone number, and email, and start fresh. Who gives a flying f*ck about your HS friends. They're history now!
thats extreme, but everyone loses contact w/ 75% of their hs friends after fall rolls around.PRMoon said:college is a chance for new beginnings. Do a "houdini" change your address, phone number, and email, and start fresh. Who gives a flying f*ck about your HS friends. They're history now!
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I cut off all contact with my high school "friends" when I graduated and started a brand new life. I started making money off websites, joined the gym (still going strong) and made new friends in college.
Haven't looked back since.

Yes, temporarly of course. To be honest, I did meet up with my old high school buddies a year after cutting off contact with them... they kept telling me how I changed, how good I look, etc.Oni said:Its not permanent, just temporary. I just need some time to myself. Know what i mean? On the other note, making money off websites?? How??
As for the matter on how to make money off websites... that's a whole different topic, one that cannot be explained on a forum or within a small time frame. You got to do a lot of reading, practicing, research, designing, etc...
Thoroughly recommend it. If you feel the need tell your GOOD friends that you're going away for a while, just so they don't feel sh*tty when you arrive back. In saying that, I've always maintained that your true friends will always welcome you back no matter how much time has gone by.
Be strong, cut ALL contact, no phone calls, nothing... The true test of a man is his composure and resilience under difficult circumstances in foreign territory. It will test your ability to relate to people. Become a man of mystery, you will eventually return (that's if you actually want to) a more interesting person. Haha everyone loves the stories the wanderer has to tell...
