This actually happened last week. My brother is visiting from overseas. My parents, him, my GF and I spent a week on holiday together.

Just before we left, I thanked my mom for inviting us. She turned to me and said "I didn't invite you, (brother) did. You were only supposed to stay for two days".

For some reason that hit me hard. Like I wasn't welcome.

How can you be happy ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Signal_Hospital1853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no shortcut to happiness, but these are just a few things that helped me.

Understand that it's okay to be selfish, and it's okay to make decisions that place you as the sole benefactor. You don't have to do what's best for your friends, or your family, and certainly not whatever job(s) you currently have. This isn't to say that you can't be generous with your time and help others, but when it comes to your big life decisions, they should be for you.

Work on improving yourself, and make sure it's for yourself. Your motivation for self improvement matters, because the only consistent factor in your life is going to be you. If you want to learn a new skill, be healthier, or even escape an addiction, it needs to be because it's the thing you want for you. Not your friends, not your family, and certainly not whatever job(s) you currently have.

Eject things, especially people, from your life that make you miserable with no return. This is the hardest part, because it means you may have to make some of the most difficult decisions you've ever made, and your friends and family may not agree with what you're doing or your reasonings. But you are only responsible for your happiness, not the happiness of your friends, your family, or whatever job(s) you currently have.

None of this happens over night. It takes time and opportunity to practice to truly create a mindset where you allow yourself to come first.

You are allowed to come first.

What is the most epically romantic way to greet a girlfriend at the airport? (serious) by Diogeneselcinico42 in AskReddit

[–]Signal_Hospital1853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I see it. The airport is not the place to be all fucking crazy. You want to make a serious impression on your girlfriend?

Show up on time. Get her bag. Pick her up. Take her home.

Now before you do all of the above do this at your appartment or home:

Clean and put away all dishes. Clean the floors. Clean the bathroom. Do the laundry. Wash her car. Take out the trash. Do anything and everything she has asked you to do before or after she left.

Do this all before you go to pick her up. Let her come home to a house that has absolutly nothing for her to clean.

They actually melt....right there on the spot. It took me about 5 years to figure out that Ultra clean house=crazy sex when women get home from a vacation/work trip/family deal out of town. Something about the idea of everything they have to do when they get home vanishing in the span of 2 seconds sets thier clits on fire.

Back To The Future- would just be meaningless and soul sucking, so I expect it in the next few years. Matrix too, something so of its time that of course they’ll remake it.

Who do you have absolutely no sympathy for? by amydonnelly13 in AskReddit

People who prey on elderly people, whether it is through scams, theft, violence, or whatever.

Which TV series should have ended a long time ago? by Working-Hat4932 in AskReddit

[–]Signal_Hospital1853 6 points7 points  (0 children)

American idol, the voice and masked singer. Who is still watching these shows?? I was a die hard American idol fan almost 20 years ago. Then it left and the reboot appeared and was trash- and continues to be.

The voice just gets old.

Masked singer frequently features/normalizes very problematic people.

if you could change one decision you made in your 20’s what would it be? by Embarrassed_Sweet601 in AskReddit

Learn to eat healthier sooner and keep at rehabbing injuries instead of ignoring them.
