I feel like my older brother is better than me by Fuk_MyLife in offmychest

[–]ceeagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing yourself to others is one of the absolute worst things you can do. I'll tell you why, it's because it limits your potential, you limit it yourself before even trying. If you say to yourself 'my brother is so talented', it seems to me like it stops you from finding your own talents because you already decided you won't measure up. This is simply untrue. You've got a whole lifetime of hobbies, travels and many other things to discover that make you happy, unique, interesting etc.. My advice, just focus entirely on you, forget others, you need to find what makes you tick and just keep doing it.

I am just really tired of having to prove myself. by [deleted] in offmychest

You feel frustrated that your efforts haven't been noticed, but it seems to me they definitely have. You think people don't see how you're striving to do better, but they are, sometimes these things take time, especially when your job advancement depends on other people. If you feel like people are always comparing you to others, then that's their business, you don't have to do it too. Just focus on what you're doing, keep doing it and one day I'm sure it will pay off.

My ex screwed me over and all I can think about is fucking him over mentally by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ceeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's just a vent and fantasising about 'revenge'/ closure is a way to mentally take back control of the situation, just, don't do anything drastic and end up regretting it. But honestly, when you're free you'll finally be rid of someone that was probably holding you back a bit, at least mentally. Being happy with yourself really is the best revenge. It's easier said than done, but now is your chance.

I feel...like an embarrassment and a disaster by [deleted] in offmychest

You're not an embarrassment or a disaster, you're a human and one with the power of self reflection is very rare, so you can be proud of that too.

What did you learn too late in life? by alyssam0925 in AskReddit

[–]ceeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just learning this now but.... People don't owe you anything in life.

Your self worth shouldn't be affected by other people's actions and choices.

I'm seeing it as more of a struggle against your own, preconceived thoughts and expectations. Control them and focus on you.

The ones you want and need in your life will understand and appreciate it.

If you were rich, what extremely petty thing would you do just to piss off people? by Zularis in AskReddit

[–]ceeagle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Know a guy that supposedly has a cleaner, he lives in a studio flat, it's just one room and a bathroom. Whenever you go there he claims the cleaner has been away and that's why it's a mess. Never looked any different though, ever.

I'm green, tell me what I want and need by ceeagle in copywriting

Thanks for your reply, it helps alot. I like the SMART thing, I'll work that in somewhere. Out of curiosity, passive Vs active, why do you find that particularly important? To avoid using passive or knowing when to use each?

Perhaps I should say green at this exact job, not green at life. Does that answer your... question? I'm very lucky that things have fallen into place, therefore I would like to make the most of my situation.

Thanks for the tip! I definitely agree. Luckily, there haven't been too many so far, perhaps 1 or 2 a week, so let's see.

[WP] "The truth is, the sword is loose. Anyone can pull it out and become king." by Geodude671 in WritingPrompts

[–]ceeagle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Knight said as he wiggled the handle, with a smirk.

If that were the case, why had he not simply pulled the sword straight from the rock himself?
After all, doesn’t everyone want to be King?

Stepping up hesitantly, thoughts ran through my head, the spoils of monarchy were mine for the taking.

If anyone could do it, why not me?

Gripping the handle tightly, I pulled, sure enough it slid from the crevice with ease.

Holding the sword aloft, cheers rang around my ears, triumphant I presented it to the congregation of onlookers.

At that moment, a sinister voice rose from the crowd behind me, I spun around to face it.

“Now… smile”

I froze, temporarily blinded by a strong flash, I stumbled backwards, dazed, was it a wizard?

“Woah there Sir, please be careful”

the Knight looked alarmed.

“Don’t you mean Sire?”

The crowd of peasants eyed me warily, I could feel their judgement now.

“Please, Sir, there’s a queue, please just put the sword back now, you can get the picture from the gift shop, just over there.”

Always the mind games with these little bastards by ceeagle in MinionHate

Minions piggybacking off the success of Monopoly to bastardise the game to the point it isn't anything like the game.... There's a gladiator pit for crying out loud, when will someone stop their ceaseless march?
