Walking Away even after being dumped?

[Serenity]

Some guys like to break things down, pull them apart, and see how it all works. A bit like an engineer. Nothing wrong with that.

Fair point, I have done that as long as I can remember with all kinds of things. I have a burning curiosity about how the world works, but I'm also extremely rigorous what anything takes to be true.

Has led to me to some less desirable paths in life, none of which I regret, but I know for sure what I know.

It's kind of like learning while doing. You can try to understand a certain type of math all you want, and it may even be somewhat necessary to know the "why" in order to master that particular math, but often we just need to get the formula first that others provide us with, and then experiment through repetition and repetition and eventually both the why and how will come to us.

Math is one of my strengths that school was never able to pull out of me. I learned much of that by my own motivation to achieve things in video games, strange as it may be. I learned a lot of it by trial and error, just by practicing it. Until that point I failed to see why I needed it, because school failed to give me a reason that I cared about. Having good reason is a strong motivation. If we can give that to the less knowledgeable of our members then we have succeeded.

If I didn't make sense it's because I've been drinking but it sounded good in my head so have a great night boys.

Either I understand it because I'm drunk too or you actually made sense. I'm leaning towards the latter. I can relate, It's a good point.

I’ll also add too that even when I’m in a relationship, I always have an ejection plan. Even if things are going smoothly. My antennas are always up for any negative signs in the relationship. So when I even get a sniff that it’s going downhill I’ll either just do the slow pull away or just wait for them to dump me ( I understand doing the dumping is the way to go is the consensus) but at that point I simply don’t care. When I’m still invested in the relationship, and a dumping comes out of the blue, I’m still ready for it and usually just go along with it, because I know there’s nothing I can say or do to change their mind, and if that’s how they feel, I do not want to change their mind, I’ll respect thier decision regardless. It sometimes feels like a gift and curse mindset. It’s always good to be prepared for the worst ESPECIALLY with relationships, but at the same time my antennas are always kinda up so I can be on edge at times.
