Not necessarily anything in particular, just generally in life.
Can you recognise when it's time to stop, when you're flogging a dead horse, when something is no longer worth investing time, effort or momey in, or when a personal or business relationship has run it's course?
Do you reach a point where you'll admit defeat, give yourself a pat on the back for trying and look for a new hobby/career/relationship?
Or are you too stubborn to realise that carrying on is doing you no good and will continue as before hoping for a different result or that some miracle will happen and eventually you'll figure out how to succeed?

Yes I have learnt when to quit be it a relationship,a friendship or anything else really. Sometimes I have tried for longer than I should have but now once I start to realise it's more toxic than good I can walk away and not look back.There is no point in wasting time on people like that..Bo. |

I know when to quit.
However I do recognise that it takes time.
We doubt. We shake it off. We doubt. We question. We doubt............. then we realise and no longer want to waste time and effort.
There should be NO going back ever. |

Mostly. But I’m also an emotional masochist and have stuck things out longer than I should have just to see if things can really get worse or even better.
I am my own drama triangle, persecutor, victim and rescuer all in one.  |

I can be very stubborn at the best of times, usually giving people that I thought highly of far more latitude than is reasonable in the hope of improvement.
Inevitably, there is always that certain point that's reached, when the pragmatic side is boxing clever with the stubborn sunk time/cost fallacy.
It's weird though, sometimes I'll be ruthless and cut ties with very little worry or remorse either, moving on without thinking back.
So yeah, typical six of one, half a dozen of the other  |

I have given up actively looking for meets on here after several no shows, however, I am too stubborn to quit the site all together, besides I enjoy the banter of the forums, and the organised social side |

I am terrible for not being able to stop!
When Rachael and I go out she is always saying “let’s head back to the room”
But not me. I am terrified I miss anything.
I hang around and hang around in the useless hope that a group of five or six guys are going to walk into that bar and invite me back to their hotel room!
And me… the only princess at the party! (Or at least in my dreams!! )  |

Its ok to look back - not go back xxx the only exception is reverse cowgirl where you can do both!! |

When something becomes too much effort and causes more pain, stress and anxiety that far outweighs any benefits that's when I quit.
It can be anything from something benign like a game to something life-changing like a relationship or a job. |

Friendships, romances , family.
We all need to surround ourselves with positive energy people.. I recently blocked a 'friend' who loved drama, I had to say goodbye! |

I know when to quit but the hard part is the quitting

Yes, but the combination of eternal optimism that things can improve combined with a fear of change mean I drag things out well passed that realisation.
Usually it takes a further incident, potentially trivial to make me walk away completely |

Sometimes I know when to quit and sometimes I don't. The key is to just be humble and when I'm wrong and I know I'm wrong I'll admit it, try to fix it and not dwell on it. |
