My only truly "alpha" friend is a psychopath, where the fuck do I find neurotypical versions of this mad genius that won't get me arrested? (self.asktrp)

submitted by MountainFact9

I've never met someone with such an absolute lack of insecuity and ability to effortlessly game anytime/anywhere, it absolutely blew my mind at first. He is shredded/always exercising, well read, and loyal; I fucking love the guy. He could be freestyling with some gangbangers in the hood and then discussing the nuances of Dostoevsky with a Russian priest within an hour (seen it with my own eyes). But god dam, he is a compulsive criminal that can get violent in the blink of an eye. It just ain't healthy to be around.

Most of my seemingly alpha mates from the gym/college are all caught up in other peoples' opinions and the rat race. Great guys, but tied down by their ego.

Do mentally stable versions of my comrade even exist? I've yet to come across anyone anywhere near his frequency and it really bums me out :/

mentally stable versions of my comrade

Your friend is an outlier. In a society of averages he’s the exception. I have friends similar. Smart as but decided guns, drugs and gangs would be a better life choice. You could find others similar but to what extent? To what benefit?

The trick is to stay close enough to maintain your relationship; yet have enough distance to protect your reputation. This friendship is beneficial because of the knowledge/traits you acquire due to propinquity. Once this relationship ceases to be beneficial; reassess.

Godspeed and good luck!

Two great tastes that go great together

Had a friend .maybe not as intelligent but very witty. He usually talked of trading, got laid a lot, lifted, sniffed white powders and lead lot of people to drugs and alcohol. Sorta like myself now after hanging with him for a while. Point is your friends are your other half.

I know and work with a fair number of psychopaths, and it is common enough in high achieving men. It takes a lot for a normal person to fire 30 people in a day or fuck someone over in the courtroom, but with impaired empathy, it's an easy task... It's an interesting disorder, that about 20% 500 CEO's have, vs only 15% of the prison population, and 1% of the general population.

With that being said, the violence thing is a problem something that you need to distance yourself from.

Do mentally stable versions exist?

It depends on how you define mentally stable, but in the VC world they are common, also law school will let you meet a number of them, and if you have friends that are specialist surgeons, you will get to know more than you ever wanted to. The sad thing is that they are not far off from some of the kids you find in alternative schools or the inmates at a real jail.

Are you sure he's a legit psychopath (can't empathize with others) or just a dude that's accepted he's going to die?

[–]MountainFact9[S] 5 points6 points  (11 children) | Copy Link

he's emotionally complex, but defintely feels no remorse and is an animal when in the zone (only seen a few times).

[–]BlondeHornyElf12 points13 points  (10 children) | Copy Link

I had a friend like this years ago. Found out he was boning my girlfriend behind my back. A year later I hear that some thugs from the neighborhood broke into his house and stabbed him to death in the shower. Pretty sure he fucked with wrong guy at some point.

I like colorful characters like this tbh, but ya they can be way too chaotic to deal with up close.

[–]huey7648 points9 points  (4 children) | Copy Link

Damn thats crazy. The shower is the worst place to get caught lacking.

[–]PandaLitter14 points15 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Always stay strapped even in the shower

What's nature's pocket?

Dude post it in the the redpill sub. I think there would be important lessons from this story

[–]saucy_pilot-3 points-2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Who stabs dudes in the shower? Killing a guy with his dick hanging out. Idk why those thugs didnt make a clean pop in the back in a corner of street. Seems kind odd they would do it that way

[–]i-am-the-prize-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Who stabs dudes in the showe

it's possible he fucked one of the dudes chicks in the shower, so poetic justice.

I've never met someone with such an absolute lack of insecuity

Their insecurities are typically a lot simpler than those of adults. They fear a loss of attention and fear boredom, like say, two year olds do. They fear others thinking critically about them and fear a percieved loss of control. They just don't express those fears in ways you'd recognize or identify with as an adult. Guilt, remorse, shame, honesty, consequences, what're those? You think he's not insecure because he doesn't have guilt and remorse.

well read,

No he isn't. Don't believe the mindfuck.

You don't need to be too sophisticated to memorize a bunch of book titles and authors whom you haven't read. Then read the cliffnotes.

This is all part of the con.

Charles Ponzi was a college dropout, poorly literate, never worked at any job or occupation for more than about a year. His only particular talents were dressing well and figuring out what people desired to hear, and telling that to them. Then doubling down on it. Of course he claimed to be all sorts of educated and qualified in any given subject depending on who be was talking to. Fooled a lot of people into thinking he was a professor of economics, for example.

Turn out if you use certain jargon terms, name drop and talk confidently, most people just kind of assume you know WTF you're talking about.

and loyal;

No he isn't. You'll learn this later. And even if he is loyal in his twisted way, it won't stop him from fucking you with a steel pipe if he thinks he can gain something exciting that he wants.

I fucking love the guy.

Of course you do.

He's made sure that you do by pretending to be the type of guy you have a desire to idolize. This wishful- thinking stops you from thinking critically about him, and realizing he's not what he pretends to be. In reality he's just an emotional black hole.

But god dam, he is a compulsive criminal that can get violent in the blink of an eye.

When he gets insecure about something.

When babies get agressive and violent people think it's charming or annoying at most. It's less amusing when adults act that way.

Do mentally stable versions of my comrade even exist?

The guy's not crazy. He just doesn't care about a bunch of the basic social values that you take for granted.

[–]nandemonaidattebayo1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

this is the answer to your question OP

[–]whatnololyea5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

YOU'RE going to be that guy you're trying to find.

[–]Dimenzije904 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Exactly, you obviously want to be the guy youre looking for OP, your search is over now you just need to work on becoming that man.

[–]Snowboard184 points5 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Just look for dudes that act like your friend(apart from the violence) but when you look into his eyes you don’t see a void

[–]Frenchie10013 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

Alphas are outside the rat race ace and don't care or need other people's opinions.

[–]xxx69harambe69xxx0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

venture capital, and unicorn tech companies

[–]ubchad0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes I exist

[–]majani0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

Actually a pure, dyed in red alpha is antisocial with very little room to maneuver in a civilized society. This is the guy who a woman sees nothing but sex and excitement in, with zero beta provider traits. That means he's usually the vagabond/hippie/gangster etc.

​

What a lot of red pillers refer to now as "alpha" is actually a "high beta" in my view. Basically a good provider with a sprinkling of alpha traits. Such men are found in boardrooms and business conventions, not in the hood, sorry.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
