Every journey starts with a single step

I had an experience that proves this to be true. I met a girl at work. It was my last week, and we decided to exchange numbers. Something about this girl gave me a bad vibe, but I went for it and talked to her for a week. After a couple of days of talking, she tells me that she has bipolar disorder, and I immediately felt my heart sink. We soon stop talking after we couldn't find a day to hang out, but I knew that something about this was bad. Weeks went by without contact, and I later came across a story on Reddit about a nightmare relationship this redditor had with his bipolar girlfriend. Towards the end, this guy recommended people to NOT date bipolar women or else be prepared for hot and cold emotions and overall suffering. Moral of the story: follow your gut, gents. You never know when it will save you suffering down the road.

A comment I read on reddit that changed my life:

"You will reach a point in your life when you won't hesitate for a second to do what's best for you."

I think it was an /r/asktrp post where OP didn't know how to dump his gf because it would hurt her feelings.

Cut out what expenses are dragging you down. Fight taxes for all things that don't benefit you and yours!

Knowing when to walk away is a gift. Use it as often as you can.

When I was growing up I used to take the things that people said very literally and this caused me a great amount of embarrassment and confusion.

One thing I did learn very early in life was how to read peoples faces. I could do this from my earliest memories. What I once would have called bad vibes or sometimes intuition I now realise resulted not from what people said but by watching them as they speak.

I can now spot a fuckwit from 100 metres away.

True, you do not need to know the background behind bad vibes but you can certainly use that feeling to your advantage.

I hate the advice "do what makes you happy." Depending, that could mean cheat on your spouse, abandon your kids, or be a jerk to people.

Sometimes you can't do what you want to be a responsible human being. Yes, do things that bring you fulfillment but be a decent person along the way.

I don't agree with this, at all. This is anti-MGTOW, it's even like something a feminist would say.

The ultimate form of freedom is to be able to overcome fears, "bad vibes", feelings and any other form of non-scientific based prejudice. To follow "vibes" is the equivalent of putting your feelings over logic, making you act like a regular woman. Also, there's always need to make sense of it, if you can't logically justify your chess move, then that move shouldn't have been made at all.

It's your life, do what makes you happy

That's the only MGTOW thing about this message.

Its a good rule in every area of life from any family, friends, girlfriend relationships, workplaces and addictive/destructive activities. Always cut off toxic limb.

I walked away from an entire state, because winter. Much happier now.

Amen.

Can't recommend this enough. Your life won't be the same once you've truly adopted this strategy.

Think of yourself as a bird. If a tree smells bad, simply move to a better one.

Preach!

I don't agree with this. Regardless of the hell of the current situation, you can't run away you have to deal with it. You dig yourself out, live to fight another day that type of cliche.

You don't run away from adversity or hard times, women do that.
