"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.

Is it possible to file a defamation lawsuit? She is ruining my reputation among our relatives. How about institutionalization?


A few days ago I told her I'm moving out as at this age I need my own space. The next night she told my aunt "he is moving out and renting his own place, I'm not sure if he has something to hide otherwise he wouldn't need a private house"
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Sometimes it happens, but the family members who listen and don't care about your actual character? They are just following a charade.

Maybe momma is forcing you to man up, and get out of their influence, sometimes it's done in negative ways my friend.

Some of our moms if we are suave with the ladies they will shoot our game down, they don't want us having power and control over the minds of women.

A bit of respect for your mom wouldn't be bad. Going so far because she said a couple of words it's stupid. Man up, make your life outside your parents house and hold typical relations with them.
 

"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.

Just do what you plan to do. She is feeling sad that you finally grew a pair and don't need her help. It's a natural reaction ....now you can be a little bitcchh and stay or move out and pay her visits.

Make sure you are set though , nothing worse than moving out just to move back in.

It might be wise not to have your parents too deep in any of your personal or business dealings, but that not withstanding move out and see them on holidays and special occasions. That's it. Be happy you about to take care of yourself.

MOVING OUT TOMORROW. I know she will start talking about how much of a coward I am for "leaving his family for selfish reasons". I don't care anymore. She has ruined my reputation beyond recovery, so what other people and our relatives think about me should be irrelevant by tomorrow. One less toxic person in my life. Hell, I might even gtfo to another town as I'm extremely traumatized by her abusive behaviors and language.


Out of the womb, feeling like a real grown up man.

My dad bad mouths me to all of the relatives. Its a control issue. I won't do what he wants so he tells all of the relatives what an ******* I am. I can't do anything about it. So I just keep my boundaries and move on.

How? Also do you care about your fvcked up rep? It doesn't feel great when everyone who knows your parents thinks of you as an incompetent loser with no integrity. I am already insecure about my job and expertise situation.

What can you do about it? Nothing! Who cares what your relatives think? Live your life the best you can and don't give it another thought. Make friends outside of the family. Family bickering and back biting for control is very common. Don't be controlled. Do your own thing..
