BiscuitXOXO Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I came across this in class today (yes, I have awesome classes ) and thought it was also applicable to dating. So I'd like to share this with you all. To be successful, you have to learn to get over CRAP. And CRAP stands for: C-Criticism R-Rejection A-***holes P-Pressure I thought it was applicable.

I totally agree with that. I think if I had got over CRAP many years ago, I would have got a lot further in life than I have now, and would be in a much better place. How do you get over CRAP anyway?
runner Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 How do you get over CRAP anyway? IME, re: criticism: know the difference between 'constructive criticism' and bitterness; take the former and possibly learn something, and ignore the latter. rejection: keep to a strong sense of self and remind yourself of your qualities and what you bring to the table. this works best if you actually have something you bring to the table. arseholes: learn to fight. practise some sort of martial art or combat sport- and that includes debating. pressure: consistently apply the three previous principles, as well as knowing how to keep yourself 'chill' (eg., meditation).

Author BiscuitXOXO Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Hmmm, so I need to become a meditating matrial artist? Sounds kinda cool I guess. :lmao: Yea my professor didn't say how. But here, his favorite phrases are: "Use your intuition!" "When in doubt, press Esc Esc Esc." "You make my life painful while grading, I make your grade painful." "You ride the tiger and you think I'm going so fast! But when you fall off it will eat you." I'm sure they are somehow applicable to dating too. I'm gonna miss this class.

Disillusioned Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 It doesn't work for everyone. I cut the CRAP out of my life years ago and am still waiting to see results.
jerbear Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Sort of like K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid So many people overcomplicate things, custom this, redo that, blah blah.
