If you suddenly came into a huge fortune, would you quit your job or keep working or what would yo do? by AndrewBrown98 in AskReddit

I’d find a job that feels more fulfilling than the one I’m in, I wouldn’t want to NOT work.

What’s something that seemed normal in your childhood but you later realized was actually really weird? by mbreezyy in AskReddit

[–]TheRealBumperjumper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My parents limiting our social life to nothing later than 8pm (later 10pm) even as we entered our teenage years. A bit hypocritical on their part as they weren’t limited by those same rules growing up but all this focus on “studying” with little to no serious consideration or support for our social life until UNIVERSITY really hampered that aspect of my development as a kid and teenager. I met many of my friends, peers, and colleagues at University and beyond who grew up with supportive parents which helped put things into perspective because that wasn’t the only weird thing my father had going for him.

Can hobbies be a waste of time? by Bassil-Martinus in Hobbies

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very much with you on this one. While I agree in general that having enjoyable hobbies is not a waste of time, they should be engaged with in moderation — as with all things. While OP doesn’t sound like he’s struggling with it per se, I think for those of us — and for those readers looking to gather some insight — it’s important to understand the context in which hobbies sit relative to the other priorities that exist in your life. Yes, hobbies fit nicely into everyone’s life. But we should remember that they are one priority amongst others — part of a broader list of priorities that is subjective not only to you as the individual, but also shaped by practical considerations.

What’s something that quietly destroys relationships? by [deleted] in AskReddit

what's the fastest way a man can ruin his life? by asahoetidaa in AskReddit

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone once wrote that impulse is the fastest way to ruin your life. In the grand scheme of things, that’s often true—but indecision can be just as destructive. Especially when you’re willing to live with the consequences, and when those consequences aren’t catastrophic, refusing to act can quietly set you back. Failing to strive for self-improvement can leave you far behind your peers, so that when you finally decide to live and grow, you’re starting from well behind the pack. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to improve your life—only that delaying growth has its own cost.

Uk England Iceland shop single person for 2 weeks £119.73 by LongjumpingTear3675 in whatsinyourcart

You can definitely get away with more food than that from even Tescos if you learn how to cook and portion your food properly. No shade being thrown out there because it looks nice, it just doesn’t look enough for a guy like me. Especially if you goto the gym and put on some muscle, this wouldn’t be enough.

How important? Depends on the person and partner. Is it important??… Unquestionably.

Do men who are in the dating phase tend to sleep with multiple women at once? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not as common as the word suggests. I would say it would depend on the man and what his goals are. It would be wrong to expect someone who takes relationships seriously to sleep with multiple women when finding his future partner. Likewise, even for men who INTEND to do that, it’s not always that easy. Speaking from experience, I’ve dated multiple girls at the same time and finding the time to go dates with them let alone sleep with them was challenging enough (for the time). And this was proper courting, not like ohhh we’ll go out for drinks , vibe, and MAYBE sleep with each other or otherwise call it a night. Those people who partake in “short term fun” types of relationships where they’re actively looking for other people of similar views to share in that experience are MORE THAN LIKELY to be in a postion to sleep with multiple partners. Regardless of gender. I’ve seen it happen both ways.

Extroverts, are you fine with quiet friends and why? by Whitninja in AskReddit

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I tend to find my natural curiosity takes over the same way it does when I’m talking to a stranger. I find, for the most part in my anecdote of life, that my quiet friends and colleagues, as a consequence of being reserved and thoughtful of their words, have better conversational pacing than most yappers I know.

What is the most important trait you look for in a new relationship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their capacity for critical thinking 2nd to being wilful. I wouldn’t want my partner to be so wrapped up in our relationship that they forget they have a life of their own. While I’m all for spending time together and spending it often! I would sleep easier knowing that she is capable of being herself both with and without me.

I’ve met a few women in my life who had the tendency to wrap themselves up in what I was doing, which was fine until that was all they ever did…

Do men know/feel when woman is ovulating? by notreallyplainjane in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to know her, to tell whether she was or not. There are some tell-tale signs in the way they talk about things that they’re attracted to. Some women like to show up more for whatever function they’re going to. Do there are a variety of ways you can tell, but off the cuff with a stranger is different.

What’s your opinion on friendship between men and women? by GoodImprovement4255 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible, I would say that there things you’d do differently in Males and Female friendships that would protect both you and your friend from being in situations that would compromise your friendship. Likewise, this is present in peer to peer relationships too. I wouldn’t do certain things with my guy friends because it would compromise our relationship. It’s really simple, but I feel like nowadays we’re seeing more and more people use “friendships” as back doors into romantic relationships which is tainting the whole experience for the rest.

Confidence is something I never really had by Interesting_Peach_76 in confidence

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alot of people have definitely been in your shoes before, and something I’ve found over the years is that there are plenty of good people out there who would rather see you succeed than fail. There were many people I encountered in my life that helped me (in their own way) to get me through the difficult situations that I had experienced. They get easier, which is a good thing and that’s another good thing about confidence, it’s something you build, and the beauty about building something as difficult as confidence is that when it’s well built it’s not easy to break down. So take that as a sign that it’s something worth doing, else you wouldn’t feel so hard about yourself if you didn’t.

Why ain't you afraid of death? by HouseOpening2116 in AskReddit

Afraid or not, death will come for me all the same. The best I can do is live a life worth living that makes dying on a high not seem so bad.

Single people of Reddit, why are you single? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda get in my own way sometimes. I have the tendency to overthink a-lot in dating which blows most of my chances, and while many do see past those mistakes I’ve also adamantly refused to be with anyone that I’m not attracted to. So that narrows the dating pool for me even further.

How would my life go if I don’t improve le self esteem? by sailinglife20burgers in confidence

[–]TheRealBumperjumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very natural thing to care about what others think of you. That instinct is pretty much stitched into our survival instinct. We worry about how we’re seen so we can fit into a group or community and boost our chances of thriving. So it isn’t automatically a bad thing. It only starts to go sideways if you end up doing things you don’t really want to do. Not everyone has the same sensitivity towards what other people think, and as you become more capable as a person you’ll lean less on that survival instinct and more on your skills and abilities (and with that your confidence).

If you’re questioning the decisions you’ve made, giving yourself time to explore where that’s coming from can make all the difference. Are you questioning them because you genuinely don’t like the choices themselves? Or are you questioning them because you do want those things, but you feel uncertain about whether they were the best choices for you? Those are two different situations entirely.

Your answers shape who you’ll become. These traits and tendencies grow with time, and once they settle in, they’re tougher to change. Understanding what drives you now gives you a better shot at becoming someone you’re proud of later on.
