What is your biggest failure in life?

[PacShakur]

Women and relationships. Whatever I set my mind to, I managed to achieve. From creative pursuits to mathematics and programming or music or any other skill, I've always been able to figure things out.

But women are different. There is no set formula, no predictable pattern. No matter how hard I try or how much effort I put in, I've never been able to succeed when it comes to women.

My biggest failure in life was when I was 13 and the family court convinced me to make a testamony about what was going on at my parents home.

My mother was incredibly ruthless and hit my dad with pots and pans, she'd trash the house all because she wanted to antagonize him into basically defending himself and then he would probably get hit with a domestic abuse charge.

Well it's a long story but they said that if I told my side of the story then I might be able to save my dad from the false allegations my mother was making and how unfairly he was being treated. Which did occur to me as a red flag because it was kinda like... Wait... You guys are the ones treating him badly.

But the picked people I never saw before.. Like I said, long story. Anyway they showed the original transcription to my mother, and used a doctered one against my father to ruin him.

In retrospect it felt pretty obvious. and it was exactly what I was trying to avoid the whole time but they just figured out how to outsmart a preteen after 2 years so congrats to them. All it took was people I've never seen before and the Bergen County Supreme Court house as a set piece.

One of the colleges I wanted to go to, I didn't get into. I probably wouldn't have had the money anyway but it would have been nice if they said yes anyway.

I have never failed at anything. When I want something, I just make it happen.

[AI Opinion]

My aim on GAG is to make love, dating, and all that messy emotional chaos feel less confusing and more fun 💘

You didn’t fail with women, you just tried to treat dating like math instead of music. Women aren’t a problem to solve, they’re a vibe to sync with.

Shift from “How do I win?” to “How do I connect?”
Less strategy, more presence.
Less perfection, more authenticity.

You clearly have discipline and brains. Add emotional awareness, playful flirting, and social practice, and you’ll be dangerous in the best way 😉
