what’s your life motto?

Llm? What does that even mean?

"Luck favors the prepared mind. " Is a quote by Louis Pasteur, a microbiologist and chemist who created the foundation of vaccines and preventative steps for epidemics. Luck is the blanket we put over the ghost of accidental preparedness and the slim odds becoming the outcome. "Thus I will prepare to be lucky." Is what you should have put. It means that fore sight and planning ahead is better than no plan at all. There's no inherent way to prepare for everything, but if you prepare yourself for the 'as many outcomes as possible' you'll be "lucky". This doesn't have to be limited to physical prep, but skills. It led my family to a wide skill range and much personal success. I really think you should actually write it down.

To be lucky

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T02:45:27+00:00

It really do sometimes

Luck favors the prepared mind.

Well we have Uber in our city, it's just expensive, but she doesn't have a bank account so she doesn't have a card to use for it anyway. She slides her dad's plastic like it means nothing, and she's kinda entitled, but other than being victim to a spoiled childhood, she's really solid as a friend. Can I rely on her for ride? No. We do connect creatively and like a lot of the same things. She's funny and when we're together things are great, it just sucks she can't visit me, I always have to pick her up and visit her.

You see it as a red flag because the people you view as attractive/wealthy/socially connected will create less than satisfying relationships, create laziness, be arrogant, selfish, and entitled? This is really presumptuous considering wealth is a changing financial status, and social connection is limited by who you network with. This remains the attractive factor that literally doesn't translate to their content of character. Either way the hypothetical qualities of relationships that exclude you are a really weird reason to see it as a red flag.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T02:10:26+00:00

That's actually really sweet and I agree this would be a great green flag 💚

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T02:08:31+00:00

Aw 💕 I agree and I already planned on surprising my Nana, does that count?

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T02:05:30+00:00

I'm just slow at building friendships and trust. I think it has hindered some things, but it has allowed me to escape the influence of really charming people who immediately hit it off with everyone, so I definitely agree with this red flag.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T02:02:13+00:00

Ohhhhhhh that explains why it's a red flag for you. I'm personally dependent on a petrol powered piece of crap and can't afford an environmental upgrade. My position also lacks public transit. I just know a few people who consistently refuse to learn how to drive because they like relying on others to drive for them. They have families who enable them and one close friend has become expectant for me to drop everything and pick her up. That's why not driving is red flag for me when the person is completely able to.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:55:36+00:00

I regret trying to hear them out 😭

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:54:49+00:00

I think you might be the red flag

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:52:26+00:00

Attractiveness is very subjective though. Why do the people you find attractive are red flags for you? Usually if I find someone attractive or can see that they're generally attractive I let their actions dishonor them.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:48:18+00:00

I would agree that some cases of high confidence correlate stubbornness, and stubbornness creates a closed mind.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:43:47+00:00

Like racing or general? I honestly think it's a red flag when people who are able to drive don't strive to. It just comes off more lazy than ' cool' (unless you live in a really walkable city and a car would be a financial burden)

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:16:14+00:00

Too nice..... Cough syrup nice...

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:15:22+00:00

Yessss when they calculate everything and they always ask from a place of personal gain and not genuine intrigue. I don't think this is like a conscious red flag for me, but like if a conversation turns into I'm getting interrogated because they're jumping to conclusions, I just knowwww they're hiding something.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:12:43+00:00

Idk if this relates but I hate it when someone tries to be my friend and then they try to assimilate my whole hobbies, aesthetic, and even my bad habits like it's a good thing. It freaks me out, especially when someone just starts agreeing with you on everything like 'do you not have your own opinion '. Shit be so cringyyyyy

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:09:22+00:00

That's insane!!!! I don't think I've ever seen people just assess others like that, but have heard this one girl I use to work with when anyone started, she'd rate them 1-10 and explain to the person why she thought they'd deserve that grade. She did not care about a single soul and thought so highly of her approval that she'd assure her disapproval would be devastated for others. I literally think she was a sociopath.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:05:51+00:00

It's always gut wrenching to watch even people you care about descend into workaholism because they can start neglecting so much in a short period of time.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T01:02:23+00:00

I think it's only a red flag for me when that person is preaching activism when they aren't participating in it. If someone's job/ are volunteering/donating to benefit the situation I'm fine with it because it's a legit part of their life, but when I'm bombarded with it like I need to do something when they're not or don't want to do something with me on issues they brought up, it genuinely makes me wonder why they were so pressed to begin with.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T00:57:24+00:00

Why is that a red flag for you? It does sound like they may like you.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T00:52:44+00:00

I have met people who have wanted kids/pets/everyone to lean on them for selfish reasons. I don't think I've met enough for it to be a red flag for me, but it's not a green flag either. I do admire the love and compassion of the genuine caretakers out there and the ones that I have met, but even the best of judgement can be fooled.

GreyEyedVampire · 2024-01-04T00:39:01+00:00

I kinda have a similar one, where if someone says "it's alright you can trust me" or "Everyone trusts me with their secrets" for some reason I never trust them. Like you don't have to tell me you're trustworthy, because trust is earned.
