About this video

He argues that people often prioritize what they want over the reality in front of them, which leads to self-inflicted heartbreak. Shelton shares his personal framework for decision-making—projecting a year into the future to assess consequences—and lists numerous red flags he watches for in relationships and friendships, including lack of accountability, jealousy disguised as support, gossip, and inability to handle boundaries.
