13111524, How long does it take you to forgive yourself from a personal fuck up? Posted by kevlar skully, Wed Jan-04-17 08:02 PM
Say it was something you really wanted and it was basically in your lap and you pissed it away?
How long does it take stop being angry with yourself?

13111531, I'm way harder on myself than I should be. Posted by KiloMcG, Wed Jan-04-17 08:11 PM
Nothing pisses me off more than fucking up and having only my self to blame. I hate that shit.

13111534, Dude. I'm beating myself up over something from early October Posted by kevlar skully, Wed Jan-04-17 08:15 PM
>Nothing pisses me off more than fucking up and having only my >self to blame. I hate that shit.
I'm having a real hard time letting it go
|
13111536, Damn, since October? Musta been major. Posted by KiloMcG, Wed Jan-04-17 08:32 PM
I usually get over shit kinda quickly, but at first I'm generally in an internal rage.

13111556, I talked myself out of a relationship with a great woman Posted by kevlar skully, Wed Jan-04-17 10:48 PM
I don't get chances with smart & beautiful women often so yeah. I fucked it all up
|
13111569, Press on, my dude. Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Jan-05-17 01:32 AM
|
13111572, But how? I wake up thinking about this major fuck up that's my fault Posted by kevlar skully, Thu Jan-05-17 01:40 AM
I ruined it for both of us & I'm struggling to get over that fact, that it's all on me
|
13111573, Hell if I know, man. Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Jan-05-17 01:45 AM
Either try to get that shit back, or just learn from your fuck up and adjust accordingly moving forward. She's not the only chick out there. I know right now it feels like she is, I get it. But ya gotta move on if it's truly done.
|
13111591, I'm this close to convincing myself to hit her up but it'd be for me, I think Posted by kevlar skully, Thu Jan-05-17 07:48 AM
I'm talking to someone out of state and she's telling me I have nothing to lose by reaching out. It's not like I don't or didn't have other options, this woman was just the most exciting. I need an equally exciting woman to be interested in me to forget this one
|
13111607, you talked yourself out of it for a reason Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jan-05-17 09:18 AM
I think sometimes we beat ourselves up over shit without realizing the other decision would prolly have us doing the same thing.
I beat myself up over a financial decision I made years ago. It's not healthy.

I agree I talked myself out for a reason but I've never crashed and burned that spectacularly. I'm not saying it woulda been a perfect relationship but all I really had to do was land the plane safely instead I crashed and killed everyone on board
For real, I think I'm just not a healthy person

13111716, if it ain't a life-changer, maybe a month Posted by infin8, Thu Jan-05-17 11:01 AM
but I'm one a them 'brooding nxggas' so there's that.
|
13111791, If brooding types get over stuff in a month, I'm fucked emotionally Posted by kevlar skully, Thu Jan-05-17 12:30 PM
I mean, good things have obviously happened in my life but I'm still stuck on this one fuck up
|
13111926, well... Posted by infin8, Thu Jan-05-17 03:03 PM
I really believe that I would have had a different life had I stayed at this event with Madlib and shafiq from SRCP.
Like..I felt like my dreams of some kinda music career were gonna happen.
then my wife called and said she was going into labor. It turned out to be false...but I felt like that was my 'moment' and I resented my wife for a looooong time. Then I resent myself for resenting basically 'doing the right thing'
so....how you wanna live, god?
you might think that was THE ONE...but maybe the universe got something else waiting for you. I don't think there is a 'one'..I think YOU are the 'one' and the one you really want will match up like a puzzle piece.
but thass me.

13112016, RE: how you wanna live, God? Posted by kevlar skully, Thu Jan-05-17 05:53 PM
That's a though situation. You did do the "right thing" bruh, I didn't lol
But the feeling of missing out is still there so I definitely feel you. I for sho don't want to beat myself up every few minutes thinking about my screw up. It's sucks cause I was all ready for everything to be coming up Milhouse but I guess this is what I get for identifying with Milhouse in the first place lol
I don't believe in the one either, I just know I don't get too many seemingly perfect prospects that are feeling me back but I guess I can only focus on making more chances for myself.

13111891, Never Posted by shamus, Thu Jan-05-17 02:27 PM

13112022, same Posted by bearfield, Thu Jan-05-17 06:20 PM
working on it though. it's hard. trying to have a bad long-term memory about that stuff but it keeps popping in without my consent
|
13112490, RE: same Posted by shamus, Fri Jan-06-17 06:11 PM
I think a key difference between ppl who are able to forgive themselves and people who can't, is that the first group just naturally has shitty memory and the second group has elephant memory.
