Could I benefit from monk mode?

You will benefit from not giving a shit.

You want to act like someone, want to act like you don't need validation but in the end it's just playing pretend. Wanna benefit? Understand that you are extremely high value, understand that women are really not that important at all and what they think of you really doesn't matter.

Focus on yourself, study, work, workout, whatever man and understand that you are the MOST important person in YOUR WORLD, in YOUR LIFE. Disconnect from socializing as much because it might be that you depend on it so much which is never good.

IMO I'm always in monk mode. I'm always improving, reflecting, adapting..

I assume that most people see "monk mode" and see it as a form of isolation. Another definition of MGTOW.

I feel like RP theories, teachings, and discussions should all be ingested and adapted to in your own pace, but action should always be taken place.

Internalize, apply, adapt. That's how I've gone about in TRP.

I think a lot of people feel monk mode should include abstinence. I guess it depends on what you feels your needs are but definitely start in a place where women are not the focus of your personal growth. Find something else, like being a fucking badass.

When you are out in public, at work, or just in general just be cool, don't give a fuck, and don't seek their approval. That's a winning strategy right there.

There are also two other books you should read/listen to:

12 Rules for life
When I Say No I Feel Guilty

Man, it depends on you. I went monk mode for about two weeks. I had a couple plates at the time, but only saw them once a week, and in the meantime was no contact and didn't game anyone new.

As the book says, it's wise to cut out all approval seeking behaviour for a month if you can.

I had to internalize the message that I am totally ok doing whatever by myself. Nothing geared toward approval.

Was actually a nice experience.

Your validation needs stem from being competitive. You should try to put your validation needs on a flowchart and build towards your goals. That's a better way and you can game your life on it.

I used to do that.
