Taking unnecessary risks. Negligence. Laziness. Tardiness. Unfulfilled promises, criteria not met. Excessive lenience and sympathy towards infractions and mistkaes, both own and others': hodling oneself and others to lower standards.

Irresponsible behavior, both academic and outside. How do you avoid it without becoming a stressed-out, tense stick-in-the-mud and alienating people around you? How do you "chill" without slipping into it?

A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

By working on said responsibilities at a steady pace, taking a break every once in a while to clear your head and rest, and then going right back to it. And also realizing when you don't have time for a break and when later to work that break in.

The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.

"Realizing when you don't have time for a break": that's one of the toughest things ever.

the combination of

a) Cultivating discipline

b) Learning to distinguish between what is and isn't your responsibility

and

c) Rejecting responsibilities that do not belong to you.

Also, be more responsible with your thread titling wink.

@How are other people's infractions any of your business?

Not being a snitch is part of being a honorable, responsible guy.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

For one thing, that would invalidate the whole point of the Holler System.

For another, if you don't want those infractions to be committed, because you don't expect to need to commit them (or do everything necessary to have "not-committing-them" in your plan) and because you care about your environment and think those infractions are detrimental to it overall (especially when it comes to "trust" and "sense of security"), then the responsible thing to do is indeed to snitch, regardless of the consequences to yourself. The remaining question is: Can you trust the "authorities" with the information? Can you trust them to do what's right, rather than what's convenient?

But the answer to these questions specifically is a discussion for another thread, if you want to open it. What fits in this thread, however, are the questions.*
