The acclaimed psychologist Abraham Maslow

Get your dopamine from production, not consumption.

The most dangerous part of someone going hot and cold isn’t actually their behavior. It’s what their behavior starts making you do. When they’re warm, you’re fine. You can relax. When they pull away, you start analyzing:1/4

So number one, you can’t teach him empathy. You can’t make someone genuinely care about how their words and actions affect you. Number two, you can’t teach him emotional maturity. If he avoids accountability or shuts down or blames everyone else, that’s something that he has to choose to work on. Number three, you can’t teach him integrity. Doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, that’s a character trait, not a relationship skill.

Do you want to know why I keep choosing you and finding my way back to you, no matter how hard life gets? It was never because you were perfect nobody is. I chose you because I saw the parts of yourself you try so hard to hide: your quiet fears, past hurts, and the self-doubt that makes you question your worth. Seeing all of that didn't drive me away. Instead, it made me see how strong, kind, and brave you truly are. You don't need judgment or criticism; you deserve warmth, patience, and gentle understanding. Your soul deserves to be cherished, and I want to be the one who gives you a steady, unchanging love every single day.

babe what’s wrong? you’ve barely touched your moment of introspection

you are a product of your thoughts. if you have small goals, you will have small results. if you don't believe you're capable, you won't be capable. if you have delusional confidence in your abilities and back it up with extreme action, you will ultimately see your dream results.

Shamelessly promote yourself. The world is full of incompetent people who aren't ashamed to promote themselves. So if you're competent, it's your obligation to promote yourself.

The difference between improbable and inevitable is often just attitude.

A strong predictor of who does extraordinary work is being terrible with everyday life; they get people’s names wrong, forget meetings, constantly lose things or don’t remember to eat because all their mental bandwidth is going elsewhere. We met a researcher with 87000+ unread emails and a passport that expired the day before an AI conference he was speaking at, and a founder who had worn pretty much the same outfit every day for 10yrs because choosing took up way too much mental effort. Maintaining a well run life is a part-time job hours-wise. For someone who is juggling a hard problem in their head 24-7, there is no spare capacity to run these background processes. Society treats this as a flaw to coach out (the command is “be more present”), but this level of absorption is necessary to solve a problem nobody else has.

Mans counting accounts receivable in his personal net worth, what a time to be alive

A loser does not become a loser in one decision. He becomes one by protecting the emotional rewards of losing. Sympathy, excuses, lowered expectations, avoidance of pressure, moral superiority over people who try harder. Failure becomes comfortable when it starts paying you in psychological benefits.
