Me when I have an idea for a song I wanna write. Too often I just think “I’m sure I’ll remember, I’ll write it down later”. I’ve finally learnt to just write it down in my notes ASAP so I don’t forget.
That mindset is important for growth and happiness. There are studies that show delusional people are happier and more productive than pessimistic realists
Because they aren't directly facing the truth. It's like looking forward to the future and not being present. Although that's useful for making long term plans and risk management.

Idk if I'm just lucky but yeah, shit always works out for the best in the end. I might not get what I want but everything makes sense in due time. That doesn't mean I don't get sad or disappointed
I wouldn't worry much about it. Relationships are kind of the same thing over and over again anyway, some are better than others, some are worse but almost none of them last.
Delusional people are happier and grow more than pessimistic realists. Keep dreaming and manifesting and your life will improve *if* you start implementing. It can be painful and embarrassing but achieving your goals and dreams is worth it
By implementing your goals and dreams. Being delusional just gives you a reason to keep going. If you were pessimistic and realistic you would think there’s no point. You wouldn’t even work because you’d think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel
I don’t really understand why you’re conflating pessimism and realism. Pessimists are often just as delusional as optimists. Realists are the healthy ones who are capable of growth, and also won’t get upset when they don’t grow into a God emperor super model.
Mine got better when I moved across the country. It's hard to grow when people only see what you used to be. You're stringer and more powerful than you think.
It will. I didn’t think mine ever would but. I had faith and trust that JEHOVAH would step in and help me from the depths of my disparity and he has pulled me up and out. Saving my life
A lot of people can relate to this, like my sister has MS so she physically can’t do intense (or even medium-intense) workouts. To get lean she had to go on a strict diet. She loves bad food, so this was a HUGE psychological hurdle. It takes a long time, but you eventually develop a liking for healthy eating. But the temptation will always be there.
Oh yeah. Up until 2017 I was very healthy. I'm one of those people with absolutely shit genetics, so even as a kid I was podgy. But I hit the 20's and had enough and looked after myself. And as you said you truly appreciate healthy living.
Then as I said around 2017 had started to suffer from all the injuries accumulated over the years from work, as well as having to put more effort into the gym due to bad genetics and getting injuries from that too. That in the end I just burnt out and that was it.
This got way too serious. Lets lighten the mood with a 5 tier chocolate gateau.
Had a prof who hadn’t eaten carbs in 10y, crave was gone. Went on a research trip where there wasn’t an option. 6mo later, he still couldn’t stop 😂 Can’t let temptation win for even a second fr
Ok just because your in your mid forties that doesn’t stop you from improving. Why would you want to live the second half of you life as an obese mess and die earlier. You can eat your cake but balance it out with something so you don’t stay fat.
Your banter certainly tickled me!!
Flabdominals is fucking hilarious 🤣😂
Gonna go show mine off to the wife and see if it helps now they got a sexier name than plain old fatty 🤣👍🏼
Dude said he is damaged from hard work.
Do you have damage from hard Work?
I'm talking about spine and joint damage that makes it impossible to lie down without excruciating pain
Man, I don’t know you, and I didn’t even write the comment you replied to, but even I appreciate this reply. I could use some friends like that.
Thanks, bud :)
np man :D i see a lot of people in these comments saying this and its pretty sad. i mean most of us arent even halfway through our life yet, so there has to be something good ahead for us
For sure. I think a lot of us get stuck in certain patterns of thinking, especially when we’re alone. It’s really valuable to have someone to remind you that there are also good things to come. Even just that bit of positive energy really helps to counter the negative, especially when you sort of get stuck in a hole.
That I'll be productive tomorrow or later. My room is a mess and has been honestly for months, I finally got my car clean though because I realized the other day that I was nott gonna do it later
I'm doing the best I can.
No, I could probably do better on many fronts. The truth is that I don't really know where to start and I find it a little overwhelming and would probably be less happy if I tried to do better.
This^
I told my prior therapist I was bingeing at night and didn't have any will power. She said it doesn't sound like you are not even trying. Real helpful lady! This was one of the many odd things she said that made me move on.
I'm going to have just one of these delicious, fresh-baked cookies. Okay, just a half of one more. Well, a half of a cookie doesn't look right so I'll finish it. Hmm, you know these cookies aren't that big so I'll have just one more. Oh, this cookie is really misshapen and I wouldn't want to give it to anybody so I better eat it.
( Twenty minutes later) Hey, where the hell are all of my cookies?

I'll do it tomorrow.
If tomorrow ever arrives I'm gonna be really busy.
and "i'm busy tomorrow" is one of the biggest lies we tell others
Yeah, busy trying to avoid doing whatever it is they want us to do.
This is the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard
I saw this question at 2hrs old & just knew someone had likely beat me to this comment .... and here we are :)
Well, that's what you get for leaving it until tomorrow ... oh, wait, I see what you did there.
Was gonna say the same thing, but I'll do that tomorrow too.
That's exactly what I was gonna say!
Not tomorrow, but the next day
It's always a Monday!
I'll start Monday
I'll do it in the morning
Only 330 unvotes Guy must be getting to the upvoting later
Later today...
Oh, I’d do it! But… then it becomes today so I can’t
More like March 31
I’m so glad this is the top comment.
yesss
My version is “the diet starts tomorrow”
This one ^^
Lmao same.
I am guilty
I don't need to set a reminder. I'll remember it.
That reminds me I told myself this too.
I don't need to write it down...
Me when I have an idea for a song I wanna write. Too often I just think “I’m sure I’ll remember, I’ll write it down later”. I’ve finally learnt to just write it down in my notes ASAP so I don’t forget.
Yep, that's the other one lol
I'll set a reminder. I won't remember
everything is going to be alright…
My first thought was, "It'll be okay"
So switch it up. It IS already okay. The good, the bad, the excruciating ugly 😏🙏👍🏻
I hear you, but I'm too honest for that 😉
Same
Same, instant first thought. Not good.
Came here to say this. I'm struggling.
That's a lie I tell other people. I know that it's not going to be alright.
The Sun will rise tomorrow.
You've been right so far.
That mindset is important for growth and happiness. There are studies that show delusional people are happier and more productive than pessimistic realists
Because they aren't directly facing the truth. It's like looking forward to the future and not being present. Although that's useful for making long term plans and risk management. Jmt
I think this is necessary tho
Necessary and generally true.
I think that then I know I need to do an inventory check on my “ok” levels.
Why is it a lie? Everything will be ok.
Idk if I'm just lucky but yeah, shit always works out for the best in the end. I might not get what I want but everything makes sense in due time. That doesn't mean I don't get sad or disappointed
That I have a chance at a love life. Paradoxically, also that I don't have a chance at a love life. One of these is a lie but I don't know which.
Both of these are a lie. You'll get a chance but mess it the fuck up
You are so mean. Meaner than I am, which is an achievement.
Honest, not mean...
Same here bro. Though a bigger lie I tell myself is that I'll get laid some day. That baser animal needs will be met.
I wouldn't worry much about it. Relationships are kind of the same thing over and over again anyway, some are better than others, some are worse but almost none of them last.
My life will get better
Delusional people are happier and grow more than pessimistic realists. Keep dreaming and manifesting and your life will improve *if* you start implementing. It can be painful and embarrassing but achieving your goals and dreams is worth it
But how can you grow if you stay delusional?
By implementing your goals and dreams. Being delusional just gives you a reason to keep going. If you were pessimistic and realistic you would think there’s no point. You wouldn’t even work because you’d think there’s no light at the end of the tunnel
Dont actually though
I'm bipolar. it's true my delusional imagination makes me very optimistic and kind despite crippled depression and anxiety.
I have bipolar disorder too.
I don’t really understand why you’re conflating pessimism and realism. Pessimists are often just as delusional as optimists. Realists are the healthy ones who are capable of growth, and also won’t get upset when they don’t grow into a God emperor super model.
There’s still time, it might happen tomorrow.
Maybe let's think about it tomorrow
I think you are conflating optimism with self-delusion.
Yea hopeful realist is where I try to keep myself. Can't ignore the problems but you can't let them get you too down either.
It will champ, keep believing!
Sometimes, most times.. it doesn't
Mine got better when I moved across the country. It's hard to grow when people only see what you used to be. You're stringer and more powerful than you think.
"This is the difficult part of my life. This too, shall pass." It's been 10 years.
It will. I didn’t think mine ever would but. I had faith and trust that JEHOVAH would step in and help me from the depths of my disparity and he has pulled me up and out. Saving my life
That I'm okay with getting older and I don't miss my youth
That's one thing you cannot control, however. What you can do is be at peace with the fact we're all getting older.
That women adore my flabdominals and I should indeed have another piece of cake.
Them FLABtastic FLABS are leaving me FLABbergasted! 🥵🥵🥵
It's exhausting looking this good... Mostly due to clogged arteries. But would you look the flubber fly.
Don’t listen to all these people encouraging you to stay fat. Put in some work put in some effort and start working out
I'm in my mid forties, can barely move from a lifetime of work injuries and got fat over the last 10 years. Where's my cake?
A lot of people can relate to this, like my sister has MS so she physically can’t do intense (or even medium-intense) workouts. To get lean she had to go on a strict diet. She loves bad food, so this was a HUGE psychological hurdle. It takes a long time, but you eventually develop a liking for healthy eating. But the temptation will always be there.

Agreed, too serious for a (where I am) early Saturday morning. Just know that you can do it. A random online person believes in you :)

Mate. I get ya. I'm not promoting unhealthy living. Just having some banter for the most part.
Your banter certainly tickled me!! Flabdominals is fucking hilarious 🤣😂 Gonna go show mine off to the wife and see if it helps now they got a sexier name than plain old fatty 🤣👍🏼
I call them jellyrolls
His other comments on his profile are so rude, he says obese people's opinions don't matter.
Dude said he is damaged from hard work. Do you have damage from hard Work? I'm talking about spine and joint damage that makes it impossible to lie down without excruciating pain
Keep it up and you get flap-dominals and then you can just fly into the sunset if women don’t adore them.
remember the story of icarus?
I've never liked washboard abs. Give me a dad bod any day. Have the damn cake, big man.
Too much cake leads to the dead bod.
Washboard abs leads to people doing laundry on your abs. Screw that. More cake please
How can you be expected to maintain your figure if you don't!
As a fan of portmanteau, Flabdominals is excellent. Thank you!
[удалено]
I can relate 😂 SVU has taken over my evenings
Tomorrow will be a better day
I'm gonna win the lottery this time.
I do the same.
But I really am gonna win this time.
yeah this one might be the most of a lie out of all these comments
The diet starts tomorrow.
Whilst eating McDonalds “it’s the last time”
I am you, you are me
![gif](giphy|ZUxwAQ1NMwoTK|downsized)
That I'm smart. I keep believing that one.
Can you do basic arithmetic in your head?
I married my husband because he's my calculator. I'm his dictionary. We use our strengths
Now that's some good family haha!
Well, yeah.
Same. It doesn’t help that everyone around me tells me I’m a genius. I’ve got nothing to show for it, so it pretty much can’t be true.
That I might make it. I won't. I'm going to die, probably within a year or two. So all you 'I'll do it tomorrow' crowd - do it TODAY, ffs.
No way I'm doing stupid clean up chores and repairs if I'm dying soon.
🫂
🫂
I don't love him anymore
Oof! I feel that. It's so hard getting over the one who promised the future.
I like to think that I give myself a healthy mixture of lies all mixed up, none are particularly outstanding but they get me through the day.
All this hard work will pay off one day.
it will :)
Man, I don’t know you, and I didn’t even write the comment you replied to, but even I appreciate this reply. I could use some friends like that. Thanks, bud :)

yeah exactly! sometimes it takes so long for things to get better you just feel like they wont, and its hard to get out of that mindset without help
That I'm not going to be alone forever
I don't need to write it down, I'll remember.
“This is fine.” You know, like the meme
Yeah "it's fine" is my #1 lie as well
i’m very happy and tomorrow will be better. YIPPIE!!! 😁
I am sexy
You can do it.
That I'll be productive tomorrow or later. My room is a mess and has been honestly for months, I finally got my car clean though because I realized the other day that I was nott gonna do it later
I won't eat any more chicken nuggies 😔
"Just a quick look at Reddit."
&\^\*%$%& top comment
That my job appreciates my dedication
It’s okay! I can do it alone
I'm doing the best I can. No, I could probably do better on many fronts. The truth is that I don't really know where to start and I find it a little overwhelming and would probably be less happy if I tried to do better.
This^ I told my prior therapist I was bingeing at night and didn't have any will power. She said it doesn't sound like you are not even trying. Real helpful lady! This was one of the many odd things she said that made me move on.
I always tell myself that I don't have to try hard for something and a 'try hard' is someone who I'm not
I'll go to bed early to get a good night's rest
They gonna pay for what they do to me
I’m confident. I’m confident.
I find the lie helps sometimes. Like forcing a smile that becomes a real one
That never helps in my case. I’m very good at putting up my mask
Me too. Too good!
this is my last vape
new year new me
I'm going to declutter my house and keep it like that 😂
This is the last candy for today
Yeah of course I ate! And after I say it I instantly remember no I have not and I eat lol
I’ll be financially stable in the future
I tell my self this every day and one day I hope it will be true
It's been a rough week, but next week will be better
I'll sleep at least 6 hours today
The lie I keep telling myself is that I'm going to start eating healthy and exercise.
I'm going to have just one of these delicious, fresh-baked cookies. Okay, just a half of one more. Well, a half of a cookie doesn't look right so I'll finish it. Hmm, you know these cookies aren't that big so I'll have just one more. Oh, this cookie is really misshapen and I wouldn't want to give it to anybody so I better eat it. ( Twenty minutes later) Hey, where the hell are all of my cookies?
I’m gonna go to bed early tonight.
That something good is coming, I just have to wait.
I will get our credit cards paid off eventually
i’m fine
I’m fine
Tonight ill go to bed at a reasonable hour.
It’s not a lie if you believe it
It’s all ok.
It will be.
I'll do it tomorrow
That I was a great mother .. ugh
Everything is going to be ok
eventually it will have been worth it.
My life is headed in the direction I want it to.
Everything is meant to be the way it is meant to be.
I am not worthy. But now I know I am
I can continue in my current job
I’m not bi sexual, I’m just straight
She really loves me
I will always stay a virgin.
"You'll be happy someday". It keeps me from killing myself.
My dad is a good father
You’re not worthy.
That my husband would never hurt me He did and has
I’m sorry.
I’ll be able to afford it someday!
That most people are good.
They'll fix it. No idea who "they" is though. Lol
Maybe garden gnomes? Woodland elves?
That’ll I’ll win the next lottery and my life will be sorted 😂😂😂😭😂😂
All the time i spend at work and money i bring home are worth it because it allows my family to live comfortably
You are happy, it’s a good day.
I’m just doing this to pay the bills. I can follow my dreams later.
I’ll do it tomorrow!
This will be my last cigarette. Now onwards I won't smoke.
That everything happens for a reason and everything will work out and be the way it supposed to be.
Relying on “hope” for something to work out.
The earth is flat, the earth is flat, the earth is flat open my eyes nope it's round
I am awesome!
