Not Giving a Fuck vs. Guarding Your Rep w/Your Life

There are two sides to this coin.

The redpill teaches, and I wholeheartedly agree, that you are the center of your own universe and you should only let your own convictions lead you in your life. If people don't agree with them, fuck 'em.

On the other hand, as the Laws of Power state, Reputation is EXTREMELY important in your social and professional life. Being seen as someone who a bit of an asshole is not bad, but if you're perceived as a scumbag and/or unthrustworthy this will have a very real negative impact on your life and on any potetal opportunities.

In my opinion, I do not give a shit about 99% of the people I encounter and for the remaining 1% I'm still iffy. But I will make sure that everyone who knows me will say that deep down I'm actually a really good guy who's just acts like an asshole.

Guard your real emotions and wear the appropriate mask in order to succeed in life.

Not giving a fuck is Stoicism, guarding your reputation is Prudence.

Giving a fuck is Insecurity, not guarding your reputation is Stupidity.

Four sides of the same coin, if you will - alas how they mix should be of utmost interest to you.

If you can react and recover, i.e. if it's just her playing with you, then you don't care and you can play along, flip the script A&A, etc. If she's not playing with you and is actually flirting in front of you (and you don't have the opportunity to do some flirting yourself), then you express dominance.

If you cannot react, i.e. multiple women of that opinion are not present, then it's damage control and you can only game the women present. But you still follow the three rules.

rep is what people think about me, and if i don't really care about it, i have nothing to guard.. trp is borderline sociopath where one is aware of what others think or feel, but don't give a shit.

As a non-native English speaker I'll assume that by rep you mean your reputation.

What reputation do you mean? Not giving a fuck will not harm your reputation in any way unless you refrain from being righteous about everything you do.

If your actions are consistent with your words, you will be percieved as an honest and trustworthy man.

There will always be people who do not like what you say or what you do because of manifold reasons and some might percieve you as being an asshole because you do not give a shit about them. Others will try to discredit you with others as being an asshole because you are not open to their passive-aggressive attempts of manipulation since your not-giving-a-fuck will shield you.

That's just life. You should only be interested in your reputation with one or two people max. Yourself and, if you are religous, God.
