Relationships today feel like navigating a minefield. Open your phone, and it’s hot takes everywhere—love bombing, gaslighting, narcissists… It’s like everyone has an opinion. Even something as simple as texting back has become a mental game: “Should I wait 2 minutes? Will I seem needy?”

In this video, I’m cutting through the noise with 10 brutally honest pieces of relationship advice that no one ever told you. We're talking about real, no-fluff insights like:

Stop looking for the right person—start becoming the right person.
The myth of 'the one' is ruining your love life.
Your ex doesn’t exist (seriously, delete them).

The internet is keeping you single (watch whose rules you’re following). Relationships aren’t 50/50—they’re 100/100.

Plus, we’ll dive into why love addiction is a real thing, how 'therapy-speak' might be sabotaging your relationships, and why outside opinions can mess with your connection more than you think.

If you’re ready for some straight-up, no-nonsense advice that’ll actually help you build better relationships, this one’s for you.

WHO AM I Hey, I'm Clark. Creator, entrepreneur, YouTuber, and the dude helping you create a life that’s less ‘meh’ and more ‘hell yes.’ My job is to help you reinvent yourself… but not in the way you might think. Most advice treats you like a self-improvement project that needs fixing—you’re not broken, and you never were. Real change has nothing to do with complicated productivity hacks or perfect 5AM routines. It’s not about becoming someone else… it’s about unlocking the 2.0 version of you that’s already inside, waiting to be set free. Because when you shift who you are, everything else—your confidence, relationships, and career—falls into place. Ready to step into your 2.0 self? Let’s make it happen for you 👊
