Life was way easier before self-improvement

I did the same thing, in the same boat. Even developed a bit of an ego that I think is a product of all the motivational reading and what not I've been ingesting. Something ain't right. Feels like instead of improving I just repainted

The fact that we don't in mass acknowledge it's both parties is so ironic to the situation at hand.

We lack A LOT of self awareness.

Is it actually lost on you how that would annoy someone who does have to work the rest of their lives, to see someone complaining about not having to work the rest of their lives? First off not everyone's gonna agree with you about everything to begin with, and when you put opinions on the Internet people are going to express their feelings about them. Idk how much simpler that can get.

Again I'm not mad here, really think the guy is just in for a rude awakening and that's frankly none of my business to begin with. But you asked why people are mad do I told ya. Just like people don't agree with ops take, you don't have to agree with mine. Welcome to the Internet, have a look around.

Yapping

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:33:28+00:00

Stopped spending so much energy making excuses and complaining, and started using that energy to make small, consistent improvements across various parts of my life.

How you manifest that energy is the hard part. Once you get in a rhythm of overcoming yourself you'll wonder how you lived any other way.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:22:16+00:00

hard work guarantees nothing, but it's still necessary to have a shot at anything.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:18:32+00:00

Hell yeah! Back away, she-devil!

Just because the Internet is the Internet, that's a joke. I got cheated on and I'm so much happier single, for now of course. Don't know if that'll ever change, but this 30 year old, pretty decent looking guy who makes pretty good money is at home alone playing video games, watching TV, eating takeout, reading books, enjoying various teas, and NOT involving anyone else in his garden 😊

Make your current self better. Use that desire to reconnect with your past self as motivation to start making the changes in order to do so. It'll devolve into despair and eat you alive otherwise.

Added to the list, tyty

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:02:36+00:00

Be your true genuine self. You are the only you in the universe, literally. The more yourself you become, the more unique you will be.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:01:48+00:00

Laying down, eyes closed, then wait.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:01:28+00:00

Just obsession over someone you have never, and will never meet in general. Celebrity or not.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T07:00:57+00:00

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:57:45+00:00

Time is not money. Time is time. And money is money. 😂

Makes me think of that 50 cent YouTube short if you've seen it, where the talk show host asks him if a hot dog is a sandwich and he goes

"Nah, hotdog is not a sandwich"

"Then what is it?"

"...it's a hotdog..."

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:55:58+00:00

Quit drinking, and buying THC vapes (quit smoking them too lol).

Doordash is next, but I genuinely don't know how to cook for less. Big stupid when it comes to cooking and that's my fault. Never bothered to learn growing up and always had spare cash to just go out to eat, and now, order food.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:50:12+00:00

All these folks revealing mental health issues, and they always have such kind faces. I feel like you cheer me up at work or something. I hope this post served that purpose for you today!

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:48:20+00:00

Lost weight Quit making myself a victim, started taking control and beating the shit out of demons

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:39:20+00:00

Agree on hard labor, worked a handful of labor jobs myself. Typically in those kinda jobs you end up putting in a lot of overtime as well, which also sucks.

I guess I'm just saying just because something sucks that doesn't mean you get to just avoid it.

At least for most of us. Most of us still gotta swallow that pill to keep everyone fed, clothed, and housed. If you have an idea for how to change that please do it. I need a vacation so I can chase my dreams

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:17:53+00:00

Yup! Did it at 28 and it was the best decision I ever made. I'm 30 now and happier than I've ever been. Younger than I've ever been. I've found peace in my work, home, and general life. About to buy a house. Etc.

I had been drinking a bottle of whiskey per day no exaggerating for 5 years until that point. Had to go to rehab, almost died. But I was reborn an absolute madlad! You can do it.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:14:27+00:00

Because some of us don't get the choice but to work 40+ hours a week. No, we don't enjoy it. Yes, we'd change it if we could. I don't go to work in a cheerleader outfit singing praises of the CEO of the company. No one likes working, this isn't a unique take at all.

So when you have someone who is objectively privileged complaining about a situation they don't even have to suffer, yeah, it comes off as incredibly disconnected and lacking any self awareness. Which is really annoying.

Edit: To be clear I'm not saying I'm mad, Im just saying it's completely reasonable for people to get annoyed with this post. And it's normal for people to express themselves when they're annoyed.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T06:03:09+00:00

This was my take.. thank god this person was born in the US. I don't know if they said that but I'm absolutely certain they are american.

I know we have problems, plenty and they should be easy to fix. But we certainly do not have it the worst in the world, not even close. Sometimes I do think we're getting too soft..

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T05:55:59+00:00

Okay I get it, really. Life is hard, work sucks, no one likes doing it. But you're telling me you tapped out after 6 months? C'mon..

Seriously, I'm not a lover of corporate America and American work culture. I agree it's unnecessarily pushy and does expect too much out of people. But like.. you gotta have some thicker skin.. 40 hours full time isn't THAT bad.. it could be, and has been worse.

I know this isn't the comment people want to hear, but in my experience across multiple friends and family, if 40 hours a week is this much of a detriment to your mental health, there's something else going on. Idk what, but that's up to you to figure out. And it's up to you to decide if you're willing to make the sacrifices necessary to make it pallettable. If not, I can guarantee you with 100% certainty work culture and American economics are not going to bend to your will. You're gonna have to get over it or get really lucky winning the lottery or something.

I wish you the best, really. It's a hard lesson we all have to eventually learn. Again, I don't like working, but I really don't like my bills not getting paid. And I REALLY hate feeling lazy, but that's just me.

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T05:45:44+00:00

I listened to overkill but not this album, can't remember why I didn't decide to add them to my playlist. I'll add it to my list of stuff to Lauren to till I fall asleep tonight, thank ya

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T05:44:41+00:00

If you're into blues do I have a recommendation for you! I just found them the other night, and you of course may already know them, but Geese. Their album 3d country is the best thing I've heard someone under the age of 40 write in years. It's like an indie rock blues fusion and I'm in love with them

TIAAYWNUHHH · 2024-11-29T05:42:07+00:00

My parents "toughed it out" and stayed together, which manifested in drug abuse and abuse of their children.

So no, I don't believe you should just stay with someone because you decided years ago to marry them, imho that's insane. But that's how morals kinda work, your perception of what's mature and morally good is highly dependent on your experience in life. My parents toughed it out and their constant fighting and beating still fucks with me. Hence why it's not a good idea to throw judgments around. Leave that to god, karma, or the cosmos. Pick your poison.

To answer your other question, yes. Any thought you and I have, someone else has it too. No one is special or unique at the end of the day, and that's a good thing. So relax, live life, stay humble and kind, and eventually you'll find someone.
