I love posts about the dilemma between “if it sucks hit da bricks” and “do it scared,” and how difficult it is to know which type of situation you’re in
And I love how every few days someone posts an “answer” to that dilemma
And how it always boils down to “well, option 1 is for when the consequences of backing out are better than the consequences of sticking with it! And option 2 is for the other way around!”
as if the whole idea of being in that dilemma wasn’t ALL ABOUT how you cannot see the future and know the consequences of what you’re about to do
If you are in a position to know for sure which choice would have a better outcome, then you are not the person asking the question “hey which one should i do”
I mean i know we go on this website to waste time but c'mon this is hilarious
this too
all advice is pretty ass.
like, old people will always express regrets like “oh i wish i had been more assertive and direct. i wish i had taken more time for myself”, but these are opinions that you can only have when you’re not in the midst of the system. it’s always a trade-off, and most people value having a roof over their head more than they value getting to tell their boss what they really think.
but in life, it’s always “heads i win, tails you lose”.
practice avoidance and hit da brix if you want, grit your teeth and do it scared if you want, you’re gonna get fucked over and over and over again either way so it doesn’t really matter.
