Exactly. That’s why they’re always caught off guard when things fall apart—they look around and realize there’s nobody left standing by them. Like, "Wait, what just happened?" 😁

You’ve got this whole crowd of people who basically lose their entire identity the second they get into a relationship. It’s sad, really—like that partner is the only thing they have going for them in the world.

Then, once the breakup hits, they finally look around and realize they’ve got absolutely nobody else in their corner.

Bravo.

Hypocrisy. Classic.

Just a total lack of social life, honestly. I’ve got acquaintances, sure, but everything is just polite small talk—nothing more, nothing less.

Some people just can't get their act together.

Look, you’ve got people who aren't actually avoiding relationships—they just can't manage their damn schedules. They fill their lives with chaos, whether it's self-inflicted or just bad luck, until they're stuck in this constant cycle of complaining and rushing. Somewhere along the line, they neglect the people who actually matter, and then everything falls apart.

For every relationship someone cuts off on purpose, there's another one that just withered away because of pure negligence or the sheer grind of daily life. We don't all handle things the same way.

I don't get the logic behind it, but it's a reality nonetheless.

You’re talking about wasted time. And yeah, you're right—plenty of people feel that way about their relationships.

But honestly, it feels like we're actually talking about the folks who just don't have any time for anyone. Period. No matter how they try to frame "hanging out."

That’s just how it plays out. I’m talking about the actual breaking point. And yeah... feelings don't just have an off-switch. Certain behaviors might speed things up, but nothing changes overnight.

I mean, I get it. You have to play the game at work sometimes just to carve out your own space. You didn't exactly pick your coworkers, right? Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to survive the office grind.

But choosing people for your inner circle on purpose and then being a total hypocrite? That’s just being an idiot.

velvetstag5 said:It’s not just about how other people act, either. I’ll try to explain my way of looking at it. Sometimes, I’ll see someone do something and feel like it’s absolutely unacceptable, but then a little while later, I’ll see that exact same thing and just laugh it off, thinking, "Wow, look at that..."

Honestly, it all comes down to those chemicals in your brain.

Or maybe it's just emotions? It hits way harder when it's someone we actually care about doing it.

What you’re talking about isn't "trashy" behavior—it's just basic survival. Real trash is someone who uses every dirty trick in the book just to screw someone else over and feel good about themselves. They have zero shame and zero regrets.

@Jeffrey Ramos4, I don't think we're out here analyzing legal definitions of criminal profiles. We're talking about people who consciously and coldly target others. It ranges from intentional emotional abuse to those extreme moments where they'll take a life for any reason at all. It varies.

How the other side reacts is a whole different conversation, but bad actors who move with malicious intent definitely exist. That's not just an opinion; it's a fact.

What’s your take on this? Why do you think that is?

Forget about work. You don't get to pick who you deal with on the clock.

We’re talking about personal life here. Isn't sucking up—and basically lying to people in your private time—the literal definition of hypocrisy? When you're being a sycophant, you aren't telling the truth.

Sweet. Just keep that same energy for yourself. Go all in on this, because you reap what you sow...

Jeffrey Ramos4 said:What does it actually mean to be a "corrupt" person?
What kind of criteria are we even using here to define corruption?
If everyone is just defining "badness" based on their own personal baggage and how they felt during a specific interaction, then there’s zero objectivity to it all...
It isn't all black and white. You can't just sort people into neat little boxes like that. Everyone carries a whole lifetime of history underneath the surface.

Oh, really? Think about that again, because there definitely are lines in the sand. Some people have way more respect for others than others do. It goes as far as someone thinking they have the right to take a life.

I'm not saying everything is black and white, but let's be real—there is definitely some bad news out there.

You think guilty people actually feel a conscience? To have one, you’d need to possess one in the first place. They just don't.

So, what you're saying is being a hypocrite is actually the move? Wow.

Man, what kind of crowd are you hanging out with then?

Murphy wrote a classic on this topic. The power of the subconscious mind.

It’s closely tied to the Law of Attraction, though not exactly the same thing.

People have been talking about the Law of Attraction forever, but it only recently became a massive commercialized trend.

silverhawk9 said:I think I phrased myself a bit poorly there—that’s not what I’m expecting either.😁 But let’s be real: if someone can't find the time to reach out for an entire year, and we only manage to grab coffee once or twice a year despite living in the same city, then clearly I'm just not a priority to them anymore. At that point, I simply move on. What I don't understand is why people act so shocked later when you start treating them differently. Honestly, it's such a frustrating cycle, isn't it?

Why would they be surprised? You know how it goes—people never use the same yardstick for themselves as they do for everyone else.

They can do whatever they want, but the second you do the exact same thing, suddenly you're the bad guy. People just lack self-awareness.
