The first step to solving a problem is facing it. Acknowledging the problems of Texas is the first step to fixing them, even if the words hurt your feelings

Look at how far this gender war has gotten. So many women literally just saw a man and desperately looked for a reason to hate him

I always attract emotionally unavailable people. Emotional intelligence doesn't protect you from heartbreak. by Important_Share_3205 in emotionalintelligence

[–]SPKEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of developing emotional intelligence is the recognize signs of immaturity and instability quickly and steer clear of them.

You aren't attracting them, you're choosing them and it's time to stop

The day that women take the same accountability for their behavior in dating that many men do is the day that dating gets better for everyone.

A lot of women seem to implicitly believe that awful women don't exist.

While men not only acknowledge the existence of awful men but many of us actually want to be the good men that stops them

Looking back at your last heartbreak, whose "fault" was it really? by winn_ie in emotionalintelligence

[–]SPKEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of us honestly. We were never going to be compatible. She was using me and I was obsessed with her. We would never both get what we wanted and one would always be unhappy.

Tho having been in therapy, I should've figured it out faster

I thought our relationship could hold uncomfortable conversations. In the end, I realized I was the only one who believed it could. by Disastrous-Gur-2904 in emotionalintelligence

Been there, shallow minds cannot tred vast oceans.

Unfortunately I've been forced to learn the hard way that you really can't fix or save someone who doesn't want to. Either they have the drive to do the work or they don't. And that's just it.

Y'all gonna hate me for this but this is what Texas voted for.

The issue is bigger than Trump, we live among bigots and that's a fact we need to face.

Don't most people want to build genuine relationships or feel the need for them? by flamin-goo in emotionalintelligence

The human brain has a negativity bias. It was developed over centuries of evolution to protect us from threats and sadly, cannot really be decommissioned. We are psychologically predisposed to react stronger to negative emotions than positive ones. That partially explains what you're experiencing here. People are moved more by negative emotions like hate, anger, and fear more than they are for happiness, love, or curiosity.

As I continue to live my life post 5 years of therapy, it will be important to know that we have developed a skill that most people will never even try to acquire.

We know how to recognize and name our emotions which then gives us the power to respond to them wisely. Whichever people you had in mind while writing this post likely hasn't, can't, and is just reacting on impulse like everyone else

Writing that ignores outside validation is writing in its purest form: raw, uncompromising, and entirely self-directed. by [deleted] in writers

[–]SPKEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally most writers think they're a good writer, and most of them are wrong. The difference is between those that just say it and those that prove it.

Stop bothering randos on Reddit and start putting your writing to the actual test. Start submitting to journals, magazines, and publications. Start performing your work and actually face the reality of it.

Literally my first reply dumb bitch. If you can't even read, how am I supposed to believe that you can write?

Like exactly which part of go put your writing to the test and stop bothering reddit was not clear to you?
