Hello gents, I've been here for a few months now and this place has changed my life for the better. With that out the way, I wanted to give back to the community with a post.

I was in a "friends with benefits" with this girl I met online for a few months before TRP and she kept trying to get me to commit to her as a boyfriend. I naturally resisted because she wasn't what I wanted in a LTR (no license, no job, didn't want to work,victim mentality about everything, on disability for depression) but I had trouble leaving her alone because I had a scarcity mentality with BP crap mixed in.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, TRP on my mind, I'm going to an automotive school , I'm working out 4-5 times a week, got rid of my oneitis with another girl (another story), new job, life is good. I can't remember who texted who, but I ended up in a Skype call with her. We exchanged "How are yous", I told her what I had been up to, self improvement and what not.

Well the next ten minutes was her deconstructing why me improving myself was not only a waste of time but futile because we all end up dying in the end all alone. So why bother making an effort?

No one will love you, no one cares, your legacy will mean nothing.

We ended up getting into a fight about respect I.E. I need to respect her and apologize for saying she was not only completely wrong but a fool and a hypocrite for calling me judgmental, doing nothing with her life and being a sensitive bitch when told the truth(She knew how to get me angry). She then gave mean ultimatum. Apologize and learn to respect her or "We can make this very simple". I told her she wasn't worth it, signed off and went to bed. (Ok, I signed back on, told her to fuck off in different ways then went to bed) Haven't heard from her since, deleted her number and said the hell with her craziness. I had a test that Monday and got an 100%.

My point is that attacks on your will to improve can come from anywhere or anyone.

I told my mom about going to an automotive school (on my dime). She laughed at me and asked how could I when I could barely keep a job. It has been a month and I haven't missed a day. All A's.

They want to chisel at your resolve and keep you where they are because anything else is incomprehensible. Watching you become something more just confuses and angers them. You were the little beta that could and now you are showing that unlike them, you are willing to grab a hold of your dick and say fuck the world for 72 hours or a lifetime.

Understand where they are coming from then ignore the negativity. You don't need it in your life that you're now trying to build up or repair. Read the sidebar, expand your mind, and let NO living being stop you from your goals and dreams. Something something lift
