TL;DR: Do I just start 'Monk Mode' for a few weeks (University starts back up in October so seems like a good time) and start living in the mindset of the principles here?

Been reading TRP for about a month now. Slowly coming to terms with both the validity of a lot of it (some still difficult, though if it's true then I guess it'll come soon enough) and my low SMV but today was a catalyst and I am fucking pissed off.

Won't waste your time. Was hanging out with a girl I like and some guy comes over and basically shit tests me to death. I'm defensive, he calls me out on it. "Fuck that guy," I thought, as she said she had to go, because her tone changed after my value got destroyed in front of her.

So, yeah. Clearly I have no game and have a long way to go.
