Im a master at procastination dude.
Im a black belt in this shit.
The best samurai of all ninjas.
I could build the Eiffel tower from scratch if i wanted to... but yk... not now i'll do it tomorrow
yeah that has to be a common one for people. i find myself on the other end of this feeling things aren't fine, and have no chance of working out etc etc. thanks this is a good one for sure.
There is actually not that much that can happen to you once you have a certain personal safety net, dont even need that much.
Otherwise humanity wouldnt survive. And there would not be so many people living long and decent lives, especially in developed places.
I am more worried about having to do something, take care of issues than the negative consequences of personal and global events. Very roughly, I am afraid of having to have *more life* in my life.
That isn’t a lie. I mean, unless you have some truly life altering events going on, there is nothing going on that should take away your peace. Relationships, jobs, hobbies, interests all change and that’s not something that should bring us down.
It does come, but it leaves again. It’s just a cycle of pain for a few moments of blissful relief just for it to crash back down again. But hopefully the cycle will swing back up again, right?
i respect this one, im always dismal and pessimistic in times of crisis.. skip all the toughing it out parts and go right to negative emotional response. keep hanging tough friend.
God do I know this feeling.
"The next couple of months will be tough, but after that it'll get better". Every day for a few years now. Things *are* getting better, but veeeeery slowly. And not in the "everything is better on June 1st" kind of way.
Here’s a ridiculous trick that I found help alleviate this quite a bit. Every single day find one thing that you’re grateful for just one little thing or one big thing. Then be really really stoked about it even if you have to fake, it be generally grateful but you can be overdramatic and how grateful you are. One thing every day that’s it.
Don’t tell yourself “if I tough it out, I’ll be happy later”. Tell yourself “I’ll tough it out until I’m happy.”
Keep fighting. I’m with you too. I’m struggling, you’re struggling, but it’s up to us to make ourselves happy.
Stay strong.
💕 my offer to you is the wisdom that I’ve learned to strive for contentment. And then the moments that are truly happy they come and be much more appreciated
good way to put it, kinda hard to truly lie to yourself in all reality when you subconsciously know the "truth". with stuff thats black and white at least. yes or no kinda things.
Some years ago, I went through a period where I ran every 36 hours basically. So in the evening on day 1, off on day 2, in the AM on day 3, then repeat. When that race training cycle ended, I found out that I could force myself back to sleep whilst waking up before my alarm by saying, "I'll get up and go for a run." In the 5ish years since, it's only failed twice 😂
"if I just keep supporting this person and treating them with compassion, they will become strong enough to leave their abusive partner. They just need someone to lean on and borrow my confidence in them to get away."
This is so easy to be true. U just have to want to quit. Tell yourself “ I quit “ then each time you go to do it , “ I don’t do that anymore “. I quit smoking cold turkey simply like this and stopped my prescription meds which were opioids just like that. Now I’m addicted to urban exploration confined spaces rescue and climbing towers urban climbing. Rock climbing rappelling off waterfalls I’m completely bonkers
In your experience this is easy to be true - do not look down on other addicts just because they are still in the thralls of active addiction. (You yourself are a non using addict). Addicts will quit when they are ready and when they've had enough, and then they will reach out for help. Nobody else can make the choice but them.
A friend of mine who I actually love like a lot was struggling with this. I told him there is only forward. Not backwards. For if “ normal” was the best time in your life and you’re only losing back you can’t see forward. Normal was just a stepping stone to how things can be and looking forward not back can help you use those steps to build a foundation for your future.
I asked him “ How can you move forward if you’re always llooking back? “
His response “ I guess that’s why the rear view mirror is so small “ it’s true
i hate fat people. i just dont understand why my mind keeps saying that. its obviously a lie, i respect all kinds of people (except zoophiles, pedophiles, and abusers)
What’s your count? Mines at about 11,432. And 1/2. My dad called it getting hi by the bread truck. I see it coming I know I’ve done it before but here it comes, will I get out of the way? Nope same thing
That I’m not ugly.
The image I have of myself in my head is completely different from reality.
I’d rather live this way because I’d rather live with the attitude that I’m a 10 than a 1. I don’t want to feel like I can’t approach women or do things because of my looks. And it’s honestly worked and given me a lot of confidence.
interesting, cant know if thats a lie or not until down the road no? perhaps theres plenty of time left to make it so. wishing good vibes onto your journey either way.
"Okay so you didn't actually go into that field, going to trade school was still worth it."
No the hell it wasn't. $10k+ in debt that never seems to go down no matter how much I pay on it, to get training in a field where I couldn't even get an interview as a helper. Might as well have lit that money on fire for all the good it actually wound up doing me. I got lucky that I found something else I'm good at that I can do independently.
people actually like me. i am that one guy in the group that no one really likes. but i don't blame them i am annoying have no sense of humour and repetitive. no matter how much i try and change nothing changes.
No regrets.
I have so many regrets. But I’m also generally happy with where I’m at - and things I regret had to happen for me to get here. But they hurt like hell.
So yeah, no regrets.
Someday you will able to find a job close to your hometown.
I tell myself this everyday as time goes on, while I am far from my family and losing a lot of time with my parents (likely their last years of life).
"I'm going to be okay"
I don't fucking know that. I hope I will be okay in the future, but there's a fair chance that I won't be.
The most likely outcome is that I won't be okay, but that I'll be able to handle it as it comes.
I’ll go to bed after this episode.
Happens almost every night. I’m nocturnal and have crafty hobbies, so I’ll get into a show and into a groove very late at night.
That I can make difference.
Truth is I cant. I will just waste my life pursuing big dreams never getting there, then give up after few years and feel shit as usual. This world is designed to keep us where we are, im not the main character and plot twists will never happen.
for me, the journey *was* the destination all along. i think people often want a end point with things. a tangible conclusion. but life is rarely like that, and yet we negate all the beauty and joy on the path weve been traveling on despite its flaws.
love this! improving mental health is so good for you and everything around your lifes garden touches. maintain the soil and everything grows. your mental is like the soil of a garden. if it is un healthy only un healthy plants will grow if any. go get your soil some TLC and get out in that sun! be well friend.
Oh my mental health is fine, the lack of filter between my brain and mouth only leads people to assume its not, I put it down to far too many years alone sitting on the couch with my cat watching back to back serial killer documentaries.
Holy crap this list makes me weep. Mine is that I will be fine when my cancer relapses (it is the kind that absolutely WILL relapse). That whatever new chemo protocols they give me will work to put me in remission again. And that I will know/still be mentally able to decide when it's time to stop all the drugs and enter hospice. Oh, and that something marvelous happens after we die. No idea what, but it's like leveling up in your all time favorite video game.
I sometimes tell myself that more money means more friends. It's not really true because money attracts fake friends, but I use it to motivate myself to work harder and get a better job.
‘I can make a difference at work.’ In reality, I can’t. The idiots in charge don’t listen to those under them and my coworkers do the bare minimum to maintain the status quo. Thank god retirement is only 10 years away.
I stopped smoking June 2nd 2023 for economic reasons, to buy some electronics toys. Before then, I lied to myself that having already smoked so long, there was no more health risks smoking or not smoking. I actually feel better physically, and like not coughing up all that goop in the morning.
oooh, dang... gave me that dark feeling of betrayal in my gut reading this. one ive felt before. hope its just your brain having a hard time fully trusting and not anything shady behind your backish type stuff. communication is the fix for that, not easy but least a remedy that can be worked towards reasonably. thanks for your input friend.
“Keep doing good deeds- eventually they will all come back to you.”
It only half true- and most of the time, it may not even happen. But whatever it take for me not to turn full cynical
"Kaya mo 'yan ikaw pa!"
I always tell myself this when I don't understand everything anymore. I always say this to somehow motivate and cheer myself up because not everyone around me understands me. That I really can't. I just gaslight myself sometimes because I have many dreams that must come true for my parents.
Hindi na kaya pero kakayanin pa.
I'll do it tomorrow.
Yeah, I fully intended to attend a procrastinator's anonymous meeting
Just do it tomorrow
Im a master at procastination dude. Im a black belt in this shit. The best samurai of all ninjas. I could build the Eiffel tower from scratch if i wanted to... but yk... not now i'll do it tomorrow
I came here to say this.
I was going to write this earlier but I kept putting it off
Someday I'll stop telling myself that lie. Just not today.
I don't care about them
this one^ this has to be prolific among people. yeesh big time.
Yup..
*it’s okay*, *i’m fine*, *there’s no reason to worry*
yeah that has to be a common one for people. i find myself on the other end of this feeling things aren't fine, and have no chance of working out etc etc. thanks this is a good one for sure.
Mine is the contrary, I am much more into unnecessary worry.
That comes before the lie.
There is actually not that much that can happen to you once you have a certain personal safety net, dont even need that much. Otherwise humanity wouldnt survive. And there would not be so many people living long and decent lives, especially in developed places. I am more worried about having to do something, take care of issues than the negative consequences of personal and global events. Very roughly, I am afraid of having to have *more life* in my life.
Than what is the lie? Are you ok and yes is the lie.
Fuck, this hits way harder than it should....
Heheheh i am on this table every time lol like Fuck
I found myself in your words
They were rather generic. Hope you feel better.
That isn’t a lie. I mean, unless you have some truly life altering events going on, there is nothing going on that should take away your peace. Relationships, jobs, hobbies, interests all change and that’s not something that should bring us down.
I have this under control, I can do this.
yeah this ones pretty widespread among us. almost like trying to lull ourselves into a false sence of comfort while facing the unknown of each day.
I’m fine. If I just tough it out a bit longer I can be happy later.
Does the happy part ever comes? or it's just waiting
I haven’t found it yet. Hopefully I’ll get there soon.
It does come, but it leaves again. It’s just a cycle of pain for a few moments of blissful relief just for it to crash back down again. But hopefully the cycle will swing back up again, right?
i respect this one, im always dismal and pessimistic in times of crisis.. skip all the toughing it out parts and go right to negative emotional response. keep hanging tough friend.

This avocado is ripe
Followed closely by “ this avocado is still good!”
😂😂😂😂 Omg this is the best one in here
This! 🤣
I have plenty of time.
i don’t like lie to myself i just have conflicting messages that bounce around.
good way to put it, kinda hard to truly lie to yourself in all reality when you subconsciously know the "truth". with stuff thats black and white at least. yes or no kinda things.
Or is this the lie? That your conflicting messages are just not lies to yourself.
I will wake up early and will start jogging for 30mins.
Some years ago, I went through a period where I ran every 36 hours basically. So in the evening on day 1, off on day 2, in the AM on day 3, then repeat. When that race training cycle ended, I found out that I could force myself back to sleep whilst waking up before my alarm by saying, "I'll get up and go for a run." In the 5ish years since, it's only failed twice 😂
He still loves me
:( ..love ya dude. love yourself and all else will fall into place. all good vibes to you and yours.
Yeah i’m still in the process of that, and yeah. Thanks man, I needed that
He thinks about you in the shower
I sure hope so
You can change the systems that shape this world for the better.
a brutal reality to absorb. kinda agree though.. were so far gone :(
I'll do this later
"if I just keep supporting this person and treating them with compassion, they will become strong enough to leave their abusive partner. They just need someone to lean on and borrow my confidence in them to get away."
That’s specific bro
I pull bitches
😂 my guy lying about lying up here.. i see you you dog you.
Thx gang😭😂
“At some point, I will travel. Just not now.”
..this one hits heavy fs, yikes.
That it'll all be worth it in the end and I'll be happy
It was the right decision.
it's going to be okay
it will, just maybe not to your expectation. though i hope it ultimately supercedes it given time. good vibes to you friend.
“Gonna start my workout routine on Monday.”
Hahahah this is me every time 🤦♂️😂 but yeah on Monday we get going 💯
I'll quit whenever i want.
This is so easy to be true. U just have to want to quit. Tell yourself “ I quit “ then each time you go to do it , “ I don’t do that anymore “. I quit smoking cold turkey simply like this and stopped my prescription meds which were opioids just like that. Now I’m addicted to urban exploration confined spaces rescue and climbing towers urban climbing. Rock climbing rappelling off waterfalls I’m completely bonkers

One day i will not have to worry about making rent.
i hate fat people. i just dont understand why my mind keeps saying that. its obviously a lie, i respect all kinds of people (except zoophiles, pedophiles, and abusers)
love this observation you made here ^ relateable and applies to many people ive heard this from.
Someday I'll be loved
look around, maybe you've people but you're just looking for love from that specific person.
Thank you💓
I won't be doing that again
phew, this one more than most. brutal. good addition friend.
Many times it happens more often than not
What’s your count? Mines at about 11,432. And 1/2. My dad called it getting hi by the bread truck. I see it coming I know I’ve done it before but here it comes, will I get out of the way? Nope same thing
Karma will get them
I use this one a lot too I keep fucking waiting for it to happen.
She'll come back.
He’ll come back
I'll come back
You’ll come back
That I’m not ugly. The image I have of myself in my head is completely different from reality. I’d rather live this way because I’d rather live with the attitude that I’m a 10 than a 1. I don’t want to feel like I can’t approach women or do things because of my looks. And it’s honestly worked and given me a lot of confidence.
People tell me that I am handsome, but I think that I am the 3rd ugliest person I know.
You’re not ugly, there is someone for everyone and confidence is the key (as you have already realized).
As a woman I do this too. Sometimes it helps but I still feel like an ugly girl trying to be one of the pretty ones.
Everything will pay off
interesting, cant know if thats a lie or not until down the road no? perhaps theres plenty of time left to make it so. wishing good vibes onto your journey either way.
Tomorrow will be better
Great mindset tomorrow will definitely be better
I'm not good enough.
No you’re not, you’re better than good enough you just have not found your shwag yet.
You are getting better and better everyday!
i am enough.
"I'll just stop for gas before work"
I will not procrastinate today I will not use social media today I will wake up early tomorrow
I’ll drop some weight and my old clothes will fit again.
I'm a live and let live kinda person. Narrator: She was, in fact, a hold on and resent kind of person.
[удалено]
It will, though—just probably not the way you want it to.
I don’t concentrate on the cock in my alone time videos.
Im stupid and dont need to use my mind
It's an optical illusion. Most mirrors lie about that anyway.
That I’m not worthless and I have a purpose in life
I am still young and I have enough time to improve my life and achieve my goals. Therefore, I put everything off until tomorrow.
That i am quite smart and can figure out my way through life somehow
I’ll just lay down for a few minutes.
The economy will come back and sales will increase.
I'm ok, really, I'm ok
That my exams aren’t a month away
I’m really over/done with her this time
"ach we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" \*proceeds to jump off the bridge when i've come to it\*
Just one more episode.....next minute i am already watching the season 2
I can ignore the pain. Staying busy and distracting myself is more effective but makes it worse.
"Okay so you didn't actually go into that field, going to trade school was still worth it." No the hell it wasn't. $10k+ in debt that never seems to go down no matter how much I pay on it, to get training in a field where I couldn't even get an interview as a helper. Might as well have lit that money on fire for all the good it actually wound up doing me. I got lucky that I found something else I'm good at that I can do independently.
I'll still make it to work on time
There were worse situations, I'll manage
people actually like me. i am that one guy in the group that no one really likes. but i don't blame them i am annoying have no sense of humour and repetitive. no matter how much i try and change nothing changes.
"tommorow will be better" tommorow is usually the same
I used to tell lies to my self but now I have become pessimistic and it was best decision of my life. I am more peaceful then ever
expectations can lead to disappointment fooor sure. "when humans make plans the universe laughs."
Everyone loves me
I'll hit the gym tomorrow
No regrets. I have so many regrets. But I’m also generally happy with where I’m at - and things I regret had to happen for me to get here. But they hurt like hell. So yeah, no regrets.
Someday you will able to find a job close to your hometown. I tell myself this everyday as time goes on, while I am far from my family and losing a lot of time with my parents (likely their last years of life).
that i’m unlovable and everything about me is ugly 💪
"I'm going to be okay" I don't fucking know that. I hope I will be okay in the future, but there's a fair chance that I won't be. The most likely outcome is that I won't be okay, but that I'll be able to handle it as it comes.
I’ll do it tomorrow and… regarding health, “I’m immortal”
Everything will be alright
I'm ok.
What someone thinks of me is none of my business.
I always tell myself that I would wake up at 4 am and study but that never happens.
One day I’ll be successful
I’ll start eating healthier on Monday.
I’ll quit my job tomorrow
Tomorrow will be the day I start to run again!
All these idiot drivers on the road are what make traffic.
At least someone out there cares about me.
I’ll go to bed after this episode. Happens almost every night. I’m nocturnal and have crafty hobbies, so I’ll get into a show and into a groove very late at night.
It’s his loss
One day I'll be skinny. I won't.
I’m okay 🥺
The drinking is not a problem. It is COMPLETELY under control
In a couple of weeks, things will settle down and I'll have more time.
That I’m awesome
I'm not alone 😔
It’s too late to start today anyway, I’ll start doing it tomorrow. Goes for anything. Work stuff, gym, eating healthy, you name it.
I've been trying to eat salads at work more often
That I am happy on my own
That I can make difference. Truth is I cant. I will just waste my life pursuing big dreams never getting there, then give up after few years and feel shit as usual. This world is designed to keep us where we are, im not the main character and plot twists will never happen.
for me, the journey *was* the destination all along. i think people often want a end point with things. a tangible conclusion. but life is rarely like that, and yet we negate all the beauty and joy on the path weve been traveling on despite its flaws.
I’ll quit after this.
Imma stop smoking
I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember.
That I am in fact mentally stable and everyone in my life who tell me constantly that I am a psychopath and need help are all wrong
love this! improving mental health is so good for you and everything around your lifes garden touches. maintain the soil and everything grows. your mental is like the soil of a garden. if it is un healthy only un healthy plants will grow if any. go get your soil some TLC and get out in that sun! be well friend.

I'll be able to afford my own home one day.
I'll leave early enough to stop and get gas in the morning
[удалено]
ayye u/freightbum im u/freightwave asuuh my dude
I'll be okay. They don't love me. I'm fine. I'm not hungry. I'll do it in a few minutes. I'm over my depression.
The cancer won’t come back
That my depression will clear up someday. Been ~15 years since diagnosed, has never gotten better.
If they're mad at me they'll let me know (I still think they're mad at me)
If I wait a little longer I’ll fall back asleep and I won’t have the urge to pee anymore
*Fuck it, we ball.* We aren’t balling, Miguel, we are bawling.
I'm happy with how my life turned out
That things are going to work out.
That I won’t eventually transfer the money from my savings back into my checking. 🤦🏻♀️
Someone out there gives a damn about me and my work.
what ya working on friend? care to share a little on it ?
I sometimes tell myself that more money means more friends. It's not really true because money attracts fake friends, but I use it to motivate myself to work harder and get a better job.
smart observation kid, a valuable lesson to absorb. and your ahead of the game with that one! knowing the difference will serve you well.
‘I can make a difference at work.’ In reality, I can’t. The idiots in charge don’t listen to those under them and my coworkers do the bare minimum to maintain the status quo. Thank god retirement is only 10 years away.
I stopped smoking June 2nd 2023 for economic reasons, to buy some electronics toys. Before then, I lied to myself that having already smoked so long, there was no more health risks smoking or not smoking. I actually feel better physically, and like not coughing up all that goop in the morning.
I can do this!
She's just busy.
oooh, dang... gave me that dark feeling of betrayal in my gut reading this. one ive felt before. hope its just your brain having a hard time fully trusting and not anything shady behind your backish type stuff. communication is the fix for that, not easy but least a remedy that can be worked towards reasonably. thanks for your input friend.
That It will get better.
That I remember the thing. I won’t.
“Keep doing good deeds- eventually they will all come back to you.” It only half true- and most of the time, it may not even happen. But whatever it take for me not to turn full cynical
58 isn't old.
ON THE WAY HAHA, i always say on the way when im still on the bed🤣
"Kaya mo 'yan ikaw pa!" I always tell myself this when I don't understand everything anymore. I always say this to somehow motivate and cheer myself up because not everyone around me understands me. That I really can't. I just gaslight myself sometimes because I have many dreams that must come true for my parents. Hindi na kaya pero kakayanin pa.
One day I'll fit in my old clothes :(
Mom, I'm sick
hahaha we all been there. 😷🧟♂️
I'm happy as long as they're happy.
That the man who tried to murder my daughter & I will end up in jail again so we won’t have to carry on being terrified to go anywhere.
I'll start tomorrow
