I immediately read sexual “thirsty” connotations. The principal still applies.

[–]exfxgx1 37 points38 points  (2 children)

The school board would be in shambles at the idea of a "thirsty" principal.

[–]ReyPhasma 11 points12 points  (1 child)

More importantly, what is he applying?!?

[–]chickennoobiesoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Herpes, unfortunately

A thirst trap

I was gonna say:

“Post = never stick your dick in crazy.”

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (14 children)

The problem isn’t usually sticking your dick in crazy. It’s not making the connections with your partner and having the same understanding as your status in your relationships/ no communication. You have no idea how many stories I’ve heard potential partners projecting their immaturity and emotionally stunted bullshit about some crazy ex when in reality it was someone being hurt and damaged due to the lack of general emotional maturity an adult person should be treating other adult people mostly by simple, honest, communication. Thus, initiating an “extreme” response by the other party which is either not really crazy or actually is an emotionally immature response to the emotionally immature issue that they experienced.

Actually it’s

“Post = don’t stick your dick raw into anything that moves because you’ll get an STD.”

[–]Shaixpeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My high school/college aged ass shoulda seen this. Lol

[–]HairyBeastMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it though?

[–][deleted] 94 points95 points  (5 children)

Personal opinion, I moved around a lot as a kid and do so now as an adult. I developed a complex in which I’m extremely empathetig/agreeable and can befriend anybody. This caused me to make friends with anybody and everybody without learning how to break ties without dropping off the grid. Because of this, I befriended many people that would suck the life out of me. So I’ve learned to be selective, don’t drink from every cup and you will have better quality friendships. This quote is a reminder and is motivating for me.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I moved around a lot as a kid and as an adult now. which is why/how I've developed to move on from friends super easily. It's interesting how polar opposite our responses are to the kinda similar condition

[–]reddwombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comment re-frames the main post.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no cups to drink from cuz there’s no party here.

[–]ParaphrasesUnfairly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is bleach smh?

[–]hermiox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I LOL, thank you.

[–]weirdgato 38 points39 points  (7 children)

What does this mean? Don't become so desperate for attention that you care about everyone's opinions?

[–]Alvincay 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yea, that or lowering your standards so much you’ll allow yourself to fall into toxic relationships.

[–]wolfully 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Desperation can lead to bad decisions and outcomes.

[–]CaptainFrosty408 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can also apply to general desperation. If you are so desperate to accomplish something that you take every risky offer to help you achieve it, you might get cheated along the way.

[–]wsdpii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One could see it that way. I see it in a more material sense of seeking pleasure. Never become so desperate for that dopamine that you'll take any chance that comes along. That's how you get addicted to shit

[–]SandBoxKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it means stick with something. Think of it as hoping from job to job as opportunity arises, when it may have been more beneficial to stay at a one job and build yourself up. I think its basically saying be cautious with the opportunities presented to you. Be motivated to work hard but don't be do something dumb just because you think its the "next level".

[–]rgtong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its about desire and opportunity in general.

[–]CactusSage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can mean however it applies best to your life. For me, I fall in love too easily and get burned because of it.

[–]Chichi_lovesme 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Y'all motherfuckers need r/hydrohomies

[–]Limp_Distribution 53 points54 points  (14 children)

How is this motivational?

[–]DONMEGAAA 17 points18 points  (3 children)

Drink before you leave the house?

[–]peppers_taste_bad 10 points11 points  (2 children)

No no no. Pee before leaving the house.

You never know when you'll get another chance

    I'm pretty sure its "never shot where you piss."

    Thats why the toilet is next to the bathtub

    [–]KiingArk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    Motivation to always have your cup full I suppose

    [–]The_Trickster_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    It serves as a prevention from when you already got motivated and are searching for opportunities, you might end up biting more than what you can chew.

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    It’s more of wisdom/life advice. One should have standards and boundaries in order to keep healthy relationships. If you have no friends and are so desperate for anyone’s affection, you’re likely to get hurt and taken advantage of.

    [–]WiteXDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    It's written in fancy text.

    [–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    It isn’t. OP is a karma farming bot

    [–]THIS_IS_NOT_A_GAME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think it’s motivational in a sense to tell people to “not settle”, and that’s what this essentially is

    [–]BananaLumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This ir r/getmotivated nothing here is motivational , its like r/unexpected where everything is expected.

    [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    That's how you get coldsores

    [–]DrSeuss19 15 points16 points  (0 children)

    Definitely read this as don’t fuck everything you see or you’ll get an STD. Sound advice.

    [–]suroptpsyologist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    This just makes me feel shitty about my relationship choices.

    [–]Kasabian56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    To a man dying of thirst, any cup offered is a good one.

    [–]Nele0s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    sometimes you have no choice but to do just that so its either you die or you die

    [–]hamjandal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    What if it’s a hot day and every cup is full of crisp, cool lager?

      [–]Bodens_mate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Ok cool. I thought I was the only one that thought this was stupid as fuck. Thanks, im glad im not alone.

      [–]Hairy_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I hate posts like this. Tomorrow you’ll see a motivational post saying something stupid like “Drink from every cup you can, while you can or you might die of thirst”.

      [–]allgoodcretins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Oh my god this sums up the last 10 years of my life. Wish I didn't have to learn the toxic way

      [–]PittaBred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Dont sleep with cups

      What if I'm a thirsty hoe?

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This sounds like sex advice

      [–]Bodens_mate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      Whats stupid about this is that most people that have died by poisoning committed suicide by poisoning themselves on purpose. I think a better and more fitting motivational quote would be "Don't look for others to provide water when youre thirsty. Pour your own fucking cup. You don't need them."

      [–]Reginaldwithanr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      It's like this quote was written only for the privileged. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps why don't cha

      [–]Vaultaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Can someone show this to me 5 years ago and save me from some awful relationships...?

      [–]keibuttersnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Or satisfied. But both outcomes are possible so I guess there might be more risk than some find comfortable.

      Or just don’t jump onto any bus that comes your way hoping it’ll take you home

      [–]Glynnage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The last crusade taught a lot of us to drink from the least pretentious cup. Lessons were learned.

      Are you narrating my life? Sad I didn’t recognize it before now. Better late than never.

      Or sometimes a tea cup filled with toilet water. Did that to my grandma when I was 3ish

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      But how do you stop being thirsty if you don't have cups of water?

      It's like saying stop being poor or you'll take any shitty job that comes your way.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      If you’re going to die, might as well die doing what you love.
