.....and until you realize this, you will never pull women, let alone live a successful life.

Stoics advocate a process in which they closely examine an "absolute failure," or the worst possible outcome that could happen if a certain outcome were to fail. Or simply life in general. When you kiss a loved one, Stoics advocate considering the fact that they will die one day, and that day could possibly be tomorrow. This is a very real possibility, along with a plethora of other negative things that can happen to you, including your own death. I actually almost died today. My dumbass flipped my car today, and I hit my head twice. Sustained no injuries thankfully.

But if I were to die, it would have all been over. I'm an atheist. I would have merely ceased to exist, and suddenly a ONEitis didn't matter anymore. Suddenly, whether my friends "liked me" or not wouldn't have mattered. There would have just been a black void. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

Although I still care about getting laid, a world in which I don't get laid isn't that big of a deal, because it is nowhere near the worst possible outcome that could have happened to me. Dying w/o the amt of sex i wanted to have isn't that sad of a fate compared to being paralyzed from the neck down. Even if I were paralyzed from the neck down, it wouldn't be the worst possible thing to occur; I could be paralyzed completely, or be a vegetable. Which still isn't the worst possibility because I could have ended someone else's life.

Therefore, negative visualization is the key to abundance and IDGAF. If a specific girl rejects you, so what? You don't feel validated properly? If your entire circle rejects you, it isn't the end of the world. There are plenty of people in your city you can hang out with. Literally the worst thing that can happen in either situation is you don't feel "likable." Boohoo. Go back to your warm house with internet and moan.

While not being laid is certainly undesirable, it is not nearly as undesirable as filtering yourself and living a life you didn't want to.
