"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.

"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.

As a prescriber of the same med, he should had known better.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You post the dumbest chit imo.
Facepalm!
Do you guys not read the article before labeling someone an addict? He tried weaning himself off the meds he was taking due his wife finally doing better. There are prescription drugs that require rehab so safely come off them. People can die if they do not come off certain meds without medical supervision and or weaning properly Even if you know the protocol of coming off said meds, everyone's withdraw symptoms and experiences are different. He weaned himself off and realized "his" side effects needed supervision.

Dude, I'm an EMT. I am well aware of the withdrawl symptoms of anti-anxiety meds. Thus, he should had known better. There are better options than said meds.

I can't deal with stupid people today!
The man has hinted on several occasions that he is weak
Or to use his terminology "agreeable"
But this should in no way reduce his work or his character
If anything it adds to his credibility
Get well soon Professor

Then take a break from looking into the mirror dude.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't think addiction is about logic.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for the dude. However, as a prescriber of klonopin is highly addictive.. Benzos are like that. The prescriber really needs to keep their patient in check on this. So, I guess the issue is more with his doctor than himself.

He's a clinical psychologist, not a psychiatrist; the latter is a MD, and prescribes Rx.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

In some States and Provinces, clinical psychologists can and do prescribe Rx med's for clients; especially for trials. Usually, there is also a MD or psychiatrist over-seeing said clinical psychologists and/or their studies/trials.
