Absolutely.
Once the calls stop coming, your calls go unanswered, and the messages stay on “read” for weeks or months, don’t push things.
Just move on. If the person reaches out in the future you can always pick up where you left off.

Could you just admit you're wrong and move on instead of engaging in bad-faith BS that makes you look stupid? Guy was an idea stealer, that's not debatable.

This reminds me of an ex I had, I wanted him out of my life and he would NOT leave. Me. Alone. So I had to decide to stop trying to be nice and make it firm that I didn’t want him to linger in my life, so I blocked him on every social media site and did not accept his offer on staying friends (hint: it never works)

Yes but this doesn't work because I still know the total size of what I need to do regardless of how small of a step I take...
Unless I'm oblivious to the rest of the steps I don't think I can take the first

Maybe "this" becomes figuring that out?
And if you don't know how to figure it out, then "this" becomes breaking that down into steps about how to figure it out. Like maybe get a book about it, or go to therapy, etc.
I guess you could think about it like zooming in on a fractal?

In a healthy relationship lingering would never happen. This occurs because people behave like monkeys at times,they do not like to let go of one " branch" until they have a firm hold on another. So they allow people to linger, for ego, appearances loneliness, substance use, abuse , financial needs etc. In a healthy relationship proper communication, understanding, empathy would all be employed to have a more positive outcome. So if lingering occurred the relationship was unhealthy to begin with and had no real chance of success with the relationship skill levels of the couple at the time. Better question , why am I in unhealthy relationships?

Honestly, the Elephant thing always struck me as odd, considering that Edison DID invent the electric chair. One would think that killing humans with AC to scare people would be more horrifying than supposedly killing an elephant to do so.

We get it. Edison is a dirt bag. Doesn’t change that this is a great quote.

Reply to adults who look back at pictures of their younger selves and realize they had no reason to be so insecure back then, should bear in mind that they will likely be thinking the same thing in a couple decades when looking back on their current selves [discussion] by ideas_now
This LPT has resonated with me. I keep looking at my schlub self in the mirror and seeing my positive attributes now, because it’s true, it’s only getting worse. This tip has an unexpected magical effect for me.

Tesla: "I made something!" Edison: "Oooh... that's nice! Let me just take some notes." Edison to a crowd a couple of days later: "Look everyone, I made something!" Everyone else: "Oooh... That's nice! You're a genius!"

I have a motto, every mistake in life is not a mistake.... unless you decide not to learn from it. But if yoi do learn from it, its a lesson. Which of those is it, is up to you

In his case, the way that worked was often stealing someone else’s work and taking credit for it.
Edison does not motivate me
