The pain of attempting discipline, failing AND regret.

There is another, the pain of discipline AND regret. Sometimes you discipline in a dumb thing, sometimes you get unlucky, and then you regret wasting your life being discipleship, when your asshole friends who always just had a good time, keep having a good time, a don't even know how to do that... It's important to choose battles wisely!

Pain everywhere

How most of us wish this is actually how things works

For me it’s hard to start and keep going… but I love my mom for helping out, even if I tell her I can handle it… Yes, I’m a grown up, live alone, and my mom does the cleaning every once in a while, unless I have done it (that’s yet to happen).

I used to do cleaning as a job, somehow never did at home…

Apparently I chose pain in my knee, my back, my neck, my elbow joints....

And if you're a guy and 99.99% of women find you attractive (Realistic number for a guy who's slightly below "average" in terms of what most people see as attractive) then 390,000 women find you attractive.

Of those women 22,347 will be unmarried.

Of those maybe 2,347 are not dating some

Of those maybe 100 would be willing to date you rather than wait for some one that they find even more attractive, charismatic, rich, etc.

Of those maybe 1 or 2 if you're lucky might be people you also find even a little attractive. Because if they were even somewhat attractive they likely would have found some one more conventionally attractive.

Likely that person is living in some random country around the globe. So better get rich and start looking.

Good one

I was never at best friend status, but 'not gonna tell em I got married' seems like the red line you draw between long-term friends you value and 'friendly acquaintances'.

My coach said this to me last night, this exact thing

I have a maid.

There is another.

Take credit for the work of others. Classic “great men of history” tactic.

It seems like this should be BMO from adventure time

Past me smoked, drank in excess, was in a dysfunctional long-term relationship, and dropped out of grad school. Fortunately, past me also quit smoking, cut the alcohol waaay back, left the relationship, met the perfect person, and went back to grad school and got a PhD. Now, future me will have much better health, will grow old with the love of my life, and will be set up to retire reasonably comfortably. There’s always time for change.

Have done this and just stopped. No energy is no energy, sometimes it's just not up for bargain.

But. You might also think about making systematic changes to make things easier for "future you". For eg, switch to paper plates and throw it out when done, no washing. It feels so dumb, but if it gets things done without stressing you out, then it works, right? (And anyway, you don't have to commit to them. Just put a stack of paper plates in the house to use or not use whenever you feel like it).

Apply this to the rest of housework (ie- anything menial that you can simplify/throw out). Save your limited energy for the important difficult things you really can't avoid (family, bosses, studies, etc).

Or both

The balls don't get smaller, you get bigger

Thanks I'm cured. . . yay. . .

Don't forget back pain

Somebody tell OP reddit dont like tomas edition

Then you've achieved what you aimed for and you can be proud of yourself! Be patient, you can improve over time, one dish at a time. No beating yourself up, you got up and did SOMETHING and that means later you can do it again!

I believe in you :)

It isn't America- centric. Westinghouse vs Edison was a dispute between businesses, in a laissez-faire economy, in the US. I'm not saying Tesla wasn't used to it, I'm saying he was against it. As many were. People weren't docile to this, nor were they internationally.
