I keep wanting more and better versions of everything and im not talking strictly material items but opportunities, life experiences etc... ? Friends and family say i shouldn't because it will lead to disappointment

Have you tried getting better versions of your family and friends?

i dont hang out with a few friends anymore because i simply out grew them nothing in common anymore really

i strive for mediocre **** posts

Expect less, give more.

Or

Fck bishes, get money.

Whichever leads to more personal satisfaction and growth.

I have similar thoughts. I am and have always been pretty athletic. I know a time will come when my body says it is time to stop and resign to being old. I want to get as much physical activity as I can until that point.

sounds like option two is the way to go.

Continue to master your domain. In the end it's all about maximum pleasures before your impending death.

You pretty much described my husband's personality. It's a good quality in that his desire for "better everything" gives him more drive than anyone I've ever known. He works harder and is more innovative than anyone else in his industry, which has led to phenomenal success. The downside is that he isn't ever really satisfied with the status quo and it can be exhausting for the people close to him.

Just like any other extreme personality trait, if you're self aware enough to manage it in a healthy way, then it can be a really good thing. If you let it manage you, then it sucks.

I bet yall gots some kinky stuff going on in the bedroom. Amirite?

As long as it doesn't lead to resentment toward others and jealousy toward people who have more.

As long as it doesn't lead to an inability to enjoy the hints you DO have.

As long as it doesn't lead to an inability to live in the present and enjoy it.

There is nothing wrong with striving for continuous improvement. It sure as hell beats stagnation, but where it becomes dangerous is when the striving leads to any of the above. It's a fine line.

You're not wrong. Gotta constantly raise the bar with someone like him.

Ah trapeze bars. To be young again.

You need some humility and selflessness. Then the other things will happen.

I would say I'm a pretty humble and down to earth guy. I've never been the braggadocious type and tend to keep my accomplishments to myself

You live in vision or you live in circumstance.

I wish you had been selfish enough to make a better version of this thread.
