I have given up on getting angry at every little thing, normally am this hot tempered type and i just like things being done in a particular way.

Though there may be no complain, i just know that it wasn't the best and i needed to step down a bit.

Am glad i was able to give up on that!

It's a nice thing you work on that. Nothing good comes out of being a "red headed" fellow

Well done! It's great to see yourself doing better :)

Yeah! @cherylsonty You would only realize you have lost a whole lot if you did not work on that. And i bet you, it might have just been a bit too late. Nice one.

🙆

Different condition in life with different approach. Some condition do cause discouragement just like when I start my studies in University I was with the hope of getting a first class until I got my first result. I felt so bad but now I have loss hope in getting it. No more chasing a fist class.

I have given up on giving up.
I thought the world seemed to turn against me when I laid my hands on something worthwhile but then I realised the storms that arose were signs that the universe was supportive of my dreams. I was fatalistic. I had stopped having dreams .I thrived at mediocrity. I m way above that now.
My focus is my reality!

Makeup.

Just keeping it lighthearted ;) I already didn't wear it much anyway, but it was always there in my bathroom drawer, staring at me and reminding me daily that my appearance could be better. One day last year while I was having a minimalist phase, I threw it all away. A symbolic goodbye to meeting societal expectations of a woman's appearance. It was liberating.

I've never been happier with my natural appearance!

You really don't need it! And normally, men will prefer a natural face over a extremely makeup one! ;)

Aww, thank you! My husband definitely does, so I'm lucky that way 😉

I gave up on the Online Teaching which i was applying to. I already got accepted and ready to teach but, I gave up because our house is just too noisy and they won't tolerate that.

Facebook. And, unfortunately those whom are stuck on it. I prefered twitter for my news anyway. And now steemit has given me what i missed from FB. So goodbye, you data thieves

It was fun while it lasted ;)

I have given up on trying to be something I am not.
For years I tried to fit myself into the mold that others expected for me, and as a result had no idea who I was. And as time went on I found myself surrounded by people that also had no idea who I was and our relationships were superficial at best.
Authenticity however has served me well. I never have to defend my actions or hope this person or that person likes me. I can just focus on being me and doing what I like to do.
The right ones stay and the wrong ones flee.

Hi @thepassenger , personally I have given up on buying new items i want twice a month.. I realized to spend money wisely and buy only things needed and not those things that i only want.

And i am glad that now i started it right.:)

People ...

We are self centered and mostly only act in our own best interest.

I've given up on taking things too seriously! Some seriousness is necessary, but a light heartedness is also necessary to keep the creativity going! All things in balance!

Life is very hard.i am a Bangladeshi and here our life is very hard.we need to work very hard for success.I stay separate from my parents for my better life

I have given-up playing Clash Of Clans. It was one of my biggest addiction till date. I spent near about 4 hours every day playing Clash of Clans. It is one of the most addictive and amazing game I have played on mobile.
I have played various games on mobile but nothing beats Clash Of Clans. And that statement stands true even today. Mobile games get boring or monotonous eventually but this one continues to amaze me with the interesting updates and changes.
Ever since I joined Steemit I had 2 addictions on mobile. I had tough time managing both and Steemit had an upper hand due to its monetary benefit. It was a hard choice to make. I still miss Coc when I am lonely and saturated reading posts here on Steemit. But I believe everything happens for a good cause. Waiting for the good cause.

Well, in near very near future you might find games that you can earn tokens with ;)

Absolutely. Would love to play such a game. The first movers advantage will make the game huge. I hope Supercell takes this seriously.

Soda!

I was addicted. I finally chosen to give on it. The withdrawal was brutal I felt a change immediately.

well done, those sodas and sugar are REALLY bad for your body!

Pretty tough to think of something, usually when I begin anything I see it through to the end.

One thing I did give up on was the TV series 24. I loved the first season but then it steadily dipped and by around series 4 I stopped watching. Kind of wish I had done the same with Homeland and a couple of other shows.

Hi @thepassenger,

I think you missed my reply to one of the previous question posts. Here is a new version for the banner. I've added some more whitespace to the sides. Please try if this one works better and let me know if it doesn't so I can add a bit more until the miniature looks good too! ;)

Thanks mate! Yes probably I missed it, as soooo many replies in the contest sometimes it's hard to track, sorry about that and thanks!!

It’s sad when you realize you aren’t as important to someone as you thought you were.
I’m sorry.
I constantly want to talk to you.
I’m sorry,
when you take long to reply, I get sad.
I’m sorry ,
if I say things that might piss you off.
I’m sorry,
if I come off as annoying.
I’m sorry,
if you don’t wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you.
I’m sorry if I tell you i love you and please you shouldn't ignore me because it hurts like hell especially from some one who’s attention is the only thing you want
It’s so funny how ‘friends’forget when they dont need favours from you anymore.

And this was the last message i sent to my supposed girlfriend that was ignoring me, only for her to read the message and ended up blocking me....
Thats how i gave up on love 😢

wow, that looks like a bad experience but u never should give up on love or you'll become a awful person ;) hope u get love soon!

I have given up playing this contest :) heheh coz i dont have so many friends here who can give me upvotes and comments on my answers :D only those can win :D

That's not right, there's also a random chosen winner that could be you ;)

And sometimes, it's not about the contest, or winning, or all that; it's about sharing something of yourself so others can get to know you better. I didn't join this contest to win anything, but to share some of my ideas in a place where maybe more people will read them. 😊 AND... answering a question makes you really think about what you really think about the topic! 😄

I have given up on Mainstream Cable TV News Networks. It is all such a joke these days regarding lies, fake news, click baits, etc. All the networks are worried about are ratings and clickers, it has come so far as to actually putting out "Real News" is non existent.

For example...We don't want to talk about the numerous Austin Bombings that were consistently injuring and harming people (and killing) putting many in danger but we will talk about how big the president's hands are in relation to his genitalia size, give me a @#$%&?+ break!

I gave up to continue waiting for things to change. I dared to enter Steemit for the same reason, for not wanting to keep waiting for things to change from nothing and come to me as nothing. I want to work for my money to make an effort every day, even when it costs, when it would seem that I was condemned. I will continue working, I resigned and I surrendered to living closed not to walk anymore.

I've given up on a girl who doesn't know my worth and efforts... : )

I have given up my fears and my anchored thoughts of the past in order to be more open minded and hearted than I have ever been before.

A few years ago I made a decision that helped me go further in my life and every single endeavour I am making make me feel a different person. I am more grateful for positive things and when something takes a different turn I just stand up an try anew with in a different way.

I also made up my mind being more communicative and writing in a diary (since January this year) on a regular basis, it is astonishing how much time can be spent writing in a day. I love it!

Blogging will also be part of my life in the next years as we all have intereting thoughts, ideas, projects and inspiration we want to share with people surrounding us.

I also gave up another fear of talking with a group of person in a room, I was quite impressed as even in my former job I did not took the initiative to talk in order to provide feedbacks or inputs.

I'm besieged ...youtube! He turned around and left.

I have given up on vices and bad habits, that was a long time ago, Now I rarely drink, do not smoke, hardly ever curse nor fight back...

I have given up on doing online ghost writing jobs for other people. I realized that the employer is getting all the credit and earning from my own work and there's a risk that they can just disappear anytime without bothering to pay me of what we've agreed upon.

Many years ago, I gave up on making New Years Resolutions. This is a major form of lying which people think is OK to do. Every year we make a resolution, or a vow, that we will do something, quit something, etc.; and every year these vows are not kept. I realized that the Lord Jesus Christ was not happy - actually hates -- this behaviour, so I gave it up.

I have given up on flying model planes, since this is complex and an expensive (you could pay up to € 10,000 if you buy every component on its own for years) spare time activity.
I just flew my model plane once a few meters. It directly crashed into the ground and I wasn't able to fix it. So, in conclusion: I have given it up, sadly.
