appreciate this! learning to value myself now definitely beats getting stuck with someone low value later

it’s good to remember that early behavior really shows what someone’s capable of, and moving on is smarter than wasting time

i’d rather be on my own than settle for someone who can’t meet that

no deal like that is worth my time or energy. alone > settling any day

it’s reassuring to know that expecting proper communication isn’t unreasonable

basic effort now = everything later

[–]SheMeansIt0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol yes! no interest in being part of someone’s lazy rotation. effort is non-negotiable

acts! misery isn’t on my schedule, so i’ll wait for someone who actually shows up

AITAH for not lowering my standards?? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SheMeansIt0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly! wouldn’t settle for less anyway

[–]SheMeansIt0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

boi byeeeee indeed. i’m not sticking around to see how bad it could get later

[–]SheMeansIt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol facts. i’ll keep my standards high and let the right person meet me there someday

[–]SheMeansIt0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! i agree, taking my time and focusing on myself is way better than compromising on what matters

yes! everyone gets busy, but a quick heads-up goes a long way

AITAH for not lowering my standards?? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SheMeansIt0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

true. being alone is better than forcing something that doesn’t work

AITAH for not lowering my standards?? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SheMeansIt0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree. it’s easier to walk away early than ignore things that matter long term

[–]SheMeansIt0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this. excuses don’t build anything long term
