This is roughly 90% of the Game. I'll leave this here.

Only partly true in my opinion, and that's what makes it hard: sometimes other people are correct, and you are not. If you do not accept that, you'll either turn depressed (like people here mention) or an insufferable douche. The latter is arguably better than the former, though. Anyway, the key is to learn whose opinion to value. People value opinions way too highly.

I think this is referring specifically to enlightenment, most people walk around in a state of "unconsciousness" where they are unaware of the present moment. When someone is using negativity and judgement they are usually focused on the past or the future and not the present moment, they are not conscious, and since they are not conscious of their mind and their ego they have a very weak relationship with their true self.

Their outer reaction is always a reflection of their inner relationship with themselves, just like your outer reaction is always a reflection of your inner relationship with yourself. The more conscious you are of your own mind and your own ego, the more you will be able to control your reaction to other people because you will understand that their reaction is not a reflection of your inner relationship with yourself, it is a reflection of their inner relationship with themselves (ie. their consciousness).

Yeah, this is what drew me away from seduction. A lot of people in this game follow this mentality and it always gets upvoted like hell. But then people end up turning into douches completely socially oblivious to their behavior with little to no self awareness.

Sure, you can say "oh well, i'll know what the extreme point is." but you dont. A bit like putting gauges in your ears. When you dont have any, a lot of them look too big. When you have them, you start to think theyre not big enough because youve become so accustomed to them.

TL;DR not caring too much what people think is good, but most times if youre coming off as annoying or irritating, a little introspection is healthy.

Very true, and very profound.

Most of the women you approach (most human beings in general) are basically like WOUNDED ANIMALS.

They have all kinds of scars and trauma and negative programming from pain that you have no idea about.

When you approach someone, it can unintentionally spark some of that pain and they can become very vicious, very nasty.

The key is to be PATIENT with people, keep talking to them normally without reacting, and eventually they will submit to your love and become passive and compliant like a little kitten eventually giving in to being held and petted.

Love those who hate you. It's the esoteric key to success in pickup.

moyno85 · 2016-07-20T14:05:10+00:00

So if I act like a complete fucking knob and they think I'm a complete fucking knob it's their problem?

the-charm-city-son · 2016-07-20T16:13:45+00:00

Marcus Aurelius talks about this in his meditations.

"Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother (not in the physical sense, but as a fellow creature similarly endowed with reason and a share of the divine); therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in what is degrading. Neither can I be angry with my brother or fall foul of him; for he and I were born to work together, like a man’s two hands, feet or eyelids, or the upper and lower rows of his teeth. To obstruct each other is against Nature’s law – and what is irritation or aversion but a form of obstruction."

This might be the most powerful thing I've read. Thanks for sharing.

2016-07-25T08:07:09+00:00

In only 4 days, you took 1st place in "Top all-time posts" for r/seduction; you effectively beat posts that have been there for 2-4 years.

Have my upvote, stay in first.

dead_king3 · 2016-09-11T10:51:30+00:00

I don't get it, can someone please explain it to me?

upandup123 · 2016-07-20T21:20:54+00:00

This can be true or a ton of bull shit.

If you know what a decent person is and act like a decent person, then this statment is true.

If you act like an outlandish douche, then no, fuck you, thats your problem and no pseudo intellectual philosophical quotes are going to help you.

2016-07-20T17:42:33+00:00

Or maybe you just fucked up and made a mistake, pull your head out of your ass and do shit right.

alphabetagamma111 · 2016-07-20T17:19:33+00:00

This is absolutely true. So is its opposite. The paradox. Welcome to it.

McColanis · 2016-07-20T17:20:32+00:00

If you're interested in more of this kind of philosophy/way of life, read 'The 4 Agreements'.

woodrowwilsonlong · 2016-07-20T19:33:20+00:00

Can't this be used in the reverse though? Too many times I've passed up on people taking a pass at me because I thought their feelings had more to do with how they felt that day than any real interest in me.

When someone is interested in you you should be very excited, you shouldn't brush it off because they just feel happy today.

2016-07-20T20:35:06+00:00

Soooo, if i am willing to look at my behaviour towards other people as a reflection of my relationship with myself rather than a statement of their value as a person, then....what?

bonerOn4thJuly · 2016-07-20T23:07:34+00:00

amen

bonerOn4thJuly · 2016-07-20T23:08:00+00:00

Drop mic

Jheron · 2016-07-20T23:40:49+00:00

This isn't true at all. I treat everyone well but I constantly beat myself up for the slightest mistakes

NotNormal2 · 2016-07-21T01:02:28+00:00

how can i use this to pickup girls tho? i need some pickup lines that will blow her out of the water!!

putsandcalls · 2016-07-21T01:09:55+00:00

Deep shit

Orange_Peel_Hammock · 2016-07-21T01:46:40+00:00

Man I needed to read that.

Ragin_Grizzly · 2016-07-21T01:48:02+00:00

It's some basic psychology knowledge reiterated with a dumb font and a picture. Not the key to seduction or whatever

locotx · 2016-07-21T03:01:58+00:00

tldr; To thy self be true, fuck everyone else

Bayarea_guy · 2016-07-21T04:39:54+00:00

Sikh quote!

TheDoctorCoach · 2016-07-21T11:04:55+00:00

I hope you're joking with that 90% number, leaving less than 10% for action and approaching.

I'd put approaching, grooming, fitness, and fashion at 75%.

Gatz21 · 2016-07-21T11:28:03+00:00

The quote in the picture is liberating. However, the world is our mirror and we can learn a lot about ourselves from the reactions of others. While keeping this in mind as well, to me, this is a balanced approached.

Whereyoursisterwent · 2016-07-21T11:29:28+00:00

Heather and I used to go together, but she said I was boring. I realize now I wasn't really boring. She was just dissatisfied with her life

jimmycone · 2016-07-22T00:41:01+00:00

Damn how does it feel to own the #1 post of all time in this sub in just one day?

Toker95 · 2016-07-22T02:17:08+00:00

This may be just another strong coping mechanism from turban brah

2016-07-22T02:51:47+00:00

this is like 50% of the game, the other 50% being calibrating your actions with understanding of what the other person is experiencing.

AdvantFTW · 2016-07-22T02:56:37+00:00

I don't know what that means, can someone explain?

2016-07-25T08:05:01+00:00

Oh my goodness. It's crazy how it's only been four days, and this is already the top post of all time in r/seduction

jimmycone · 2016-10-09T17:47:13+00:00

Couldnt understand, explanation please

msmiitz · 2016-11-05T17:17:29+00:00

too fucking wordy

Overnight_Delivery · 2016-12-23T22:56:44+00:00

damn I remember when this was first posted. still number 1 seddit of all time.

zetsui · 2016-07-20T17:25:10+00:00

One of the best quotes I've seen on here

Glad I clicked

LegateMax · 2016-07-20T17:12:20+00:00

Reminds me of a lesson I learned from tame impala "The only one who's really judging you is yourself. Nobody else"

blitzbomb4 · 2016-07-20T17:00:43+00:00

I've been saying a form of this for years. You allow people to affect your emotions and personal confidence. But if you have faults or limits, you should be honest about them and fix them. He left that part out.

This is roughly 90% of the Game. I'll leave this here.

Comments

TL;DR:

The TL;DR of the original post shouldn't be "Fuck everyone else's criticism, they're just projecting";

It should be "If they're lashing out, maybe they're the ones that are in pain."
