Go outside, walk around. Pick the first thing that looks interesting and walk over to it. Maybe its a statue, you read a plaque, you learn something. Maybe its a cool new restaraunt, you become a regular and start taking dates there. Maybe you learn how to enjoy yourself moving about the world on your own. Being free. Then you realize socializing is an option. you can choose to add people into your world or not. you can choose to bring them into your frame

Same here, enjoy the time being alone brother.

I've cut out my social life as well.

More time at the gym (a ton of my friends go there so that kinda counts)

More focus on work, reading a ton more.

Avoid social media if you can, (shit eats at you if you're in monk mode)

I'd love to know as well

Okay I guess I can help. Been in monk mode for 4-5 months now. For monk mode I refer to: dropped my old beta friends, stopped going out on saturday drinking like I used to, stopped wasting time on cheap dopamine habits.

Once you get to this point, you’ll find yourself with lot of free time, and the desire to get laid could become overwhelming at some point.

If you have a mission (if you don’t know if you have it, you probably don’t have it) you naturally ease into monk mode.

If monk mode is hard for you, it means you lack vision for long term success, plus big goals to pursue.

Also be careful not to confuse monk mode with days spent reading TRP. It might be okay in the beginning, but once you’ve read 3-5 books about game you are okay to go. Trust me. Reading more isn’t the solution. There’s no shortcut for that.

Volunteer, join clubs, take a cooking class or whatever peaks your interest to learn, etc.

You’ll be forced to interact with others doing these things.

The point of monk mode is to cut out distractions. Socialising is a distraction unless it’s networking.

I’ve been in monk mode since the start of Jan. I went hard for 4 weeks, signed new clients hit new goals in the gym, took a week off to party and now it’s another 4 solid weeks of monk mode.

How old are you and what are your goals for monk mode? But yes, just deal with it is probably going to be the answer.

meetup.com will have some decent things you can do.

for me, i went to social events but just didn't drink when i had cut alcohol.

Also plenty of other ones to meet new friends.

Enjoy you time alone, and schedule hours for reading books

I have been in monk mode for the past three months. I have been happier than ever before, because of my focus on training my body and mind I see the results and it is boosting my confidence. It makes me feel like somewhat of a narcissist, I feel so much better than people trapped in lower paradigms. I have been working on learning to delegate my time better and to shed negative energies of other people that were in my life. I have moved around a lot so I don’t have a close friend group in my area. I want to join a gymnastics club or a dance club, I have become obsessed with the gym. It frequently feels very lonely, but you get used to it, the gains made in body and mind are so so so sweet

A monk who socializes lol

Have a BBQ. Invite some Bros over. Eat and talk shit.

Meditate, Pray, Read a book, Go for a run/walk, take a sauna, take a cold shower. Just distress yourself. And don't spend time on social media ( Except Reddit ). Be outside and find something to do.

Pot, video games, reading, lifting, motorcycles, fixing up my house and cars. There's literally so much I'd RATHER be doing than socializing. But if you don't socialize most women will regard you as an oddball loser that lacks intelligence.
