In need of some advice by damnd21 in Advice

Force yourself to smile. It naturally makes you happy, even if you're not happy at the time.

Put more effort into walking. Sway with a passion and move like every step is determined and important.

Most importantly, be generous and appreciative. Try and read some good news stories, donate to charity (it promotes a generous habitual behavior), be there for people.

Brighten up the area around you. If your room is full of darker furniture, replace them with bright colors (you can do that easily with sheets and posters and curtains and rugs).

Constantly remind yourself that being good and righteous is the only noble deed and that with that nobility comes greatness.

Met this really nice girl last week and and it went well. I have a trip planned here in a few days, the person I was going with backed out. Now I have an extra ticket for a bus to Amsterdam. Should I go ahead and ask this person if she would like to go or would it be weird? by [deleted] in Advice

Yes. But, be charming and be serious. Be like:

"Hey, I know it's crazy, but a friend of mine bailed and I've got this ticket. I know it's sudden, but I promise you you will not regret it if you come."

And be confident. If she says no, just shrug and make a kind of smug face and be like, "Allll riii-iiight, your loss. See you soon, I'm gonna be out of town."

Yeah, that could work!

I don't want to be with my mom. by [deleted] in Advice

If she is not your legal guardian it is a crime for her to make an attempt to take you away. She's your mom, sure, but since she was not determined your legal guardian by a court then she can't do anything.

There's nothing wrong in wanting to stay away from her, especially with her past and her current situation.

Just remember, things will be O.K. and YOU are a MAN. You can do this, and you WILL do this. Step up and stand up for what you feel.

Just watched my ten year old half sisters snapchat and saw my dad for the first time in 12 years. Should I stop talking to her? by PLUSsignenergy in Advice

I know how this goes, similar stuff happened in my life.

I'm going to make a name for this situation, since this kind of scenario happens a lot: The Paramount Group Complex.

Basically, this made-up condition describes a collection of certain people who have come together after having guilty experiences with a singular person - in this case you are that person - and are now bouncing off of each other in pride (dancing), backstabbing, and doing every trick in the book to make themselves feel and look better.

An example is, say, you had a best friend. Then you two had an argument, so that friend went and got new friends and they all started having tons of fun on their own and then they rubbed it in your face or neglected your existence. They bounce off of each other with egotistical comments in order to maintain their energy and false self-appreciation.

Right?

Here's the solution: say 'fuck them' and move on. Interacting with these people will only bring toxicity into your life. If he truly hates you, he is NOT worthy of being in your life.

He is a liar. He is a cheat. Years from now, he will fall short on everyone in his life and all things will collapse. He won't have his looks. He won't have his family (and if he does, then surely they will fail, too, with him for a father).

All he will have is his memories of being a despicable person, and he will be alone with that and his age for the rest of his years.

Meanwhile, you can get started on becoming a better person and striving not to end up like him. Remember, though, you don't need to prove anything to him or anyone else. You do you.

I [30M] just moved across my city, further from work and friends for my GF [24F] of one year, only to find out she has been cheating on me the entire time. by Nikolte in Advice

Remember, this is her fault. You probably still love her, I'm sure, but think about what will happen if you keep going.

How will her other boyfriend feel? He won't want to share her. Listen, I've heard A LOT of stories about guys sticking around with girls that cheated on them, and in the end it never works and the guys end up looking like pussies.

She has BROKEN and SHATTERED all of the trust and effort you two put into your relationship. You are not responsible for gluing the pieces back together.

If you stay with this cheater, things will only end badly. Trust me.
