"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.

I just want to apologize here cause I just created a nonsense post yesterday while I was drunk and I didn't even know why I did that. Hopefully, it was deleted by the mods.

But I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for that. Heard that my mom is having some psychological problems and I already knew she has been depressed for a long time, so this break my heart completely and on those days I end up drinking or eating too much, and yesterday was a day that I drunk way more than I should.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You are anonymous so whatever right?
Basically yes, I just like to clarify and recognize when I make a mistake. Its not like a big deal, but I just think its better to explain than creating missundertoods.

It's all good. Alcohol helped me get through a few recent family deaths. My work wouldn't assist me in getting home to them but I found plenty of bartenders in Central & Eastern Europe that did assist me in getting fvcked up for little money. It has its helpful uses but don't make it a sustained habit.

Yep, Im holding way more withou drinking alcohol nowadays, but when something triggers some trauma or related to my cptsd I usually tend to use it. Slowly Im stopping but still have some relapses.

Sometimes when Im happy I drink only one or two cups and enjoy... Drinking feeling sad is more dangerous.

Wish you the best!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
