This quarantine has given me a good amount of time to read many of the asktrp posts and offer my advice. I have been in the community for a fair amount of time now and there has been a negative trend within the last few months or so on the asktrp questions.

Heres the trend: Most of the posts have a very simple answer. If only they had read the sidebar. They don't understand the idea of not being a pussy.

What do I mean by that?

When I read most of the posts I immediately think, "Why are you being such a pussy." I feel like almost every post could be answered by, "Just stop being a pussy, problem solved." Here are some examples.

  1. "What do I do during this quarantine omg Im getting so depressed?"- Simple. You stop being a pussy and realize that you still need to get your ass up out of bed every morning and go attack the day. You still should be working relentlessly toward your goals, working out (even if its at home), cultivating current hobbies or new ones, just generally still being that motivated goal-driven guy you were before this virus. Your getting depressed because you are giving in to your comfort-seeking mind, aka the inner pussy.
  2. "Anyones daily routine becoming completely shit because they haven't been to the gym?"(One of the top posts for the month).- Quite simple. Its happening because your being a pussy. Your mind is desperately looking for an excuse to just say "fuck it" and go back to watching porn, playing video games, and not pursing your goals. But guess what, you choose to be a pussy and jump back into those shitty beta habits.
  3. Last but not least, the INSANE amount of posts that go something like, "I haven't had sex in weeks because of this virus, how do I find girls to fuck during quarantine?"- Guess what, you don't need pussy. You are being a pussy by needing sex as opposed to wanting sex. Pussies lack discipline, and crave external validation to prove to themselves they are not a pussy. You'll be fine, you won't melt because you haven't fucked in weeks, do society a favor and refrain from approaching or hooking up with any new girls. Would you rather fuck a nasty tinder slut once for a little validation or potentially get the virus and die or spread it to people that could die. Jerk off without porn if you really need to.

Now how do I stop being a pussy during this quarantine period? Here are a few things that have helped me stay on track:

  1. Your mindset- Everybody right now is at least somewhat fearful and that can easily cause a downward spiral into seeking maximum comfort. The laws of human nature by Robert Greene, law number 6, "The Law of Shortsightedness," says that humans think about present circumstances much more often than thinking long-term. Our minds will automatically be fixated on this virus, unless we train ourselves to think long-term. My mindset about this situation is basically that while all these other dudes are spending their days playing video games, eating like shit, not working out, and watching porn constantly, I will be in monk mode increasing my SMV. So while most guy's SMV will be generally declining during this time, mine and the rest of my red-pilled brothers will be constantly increasing and we'll come out with a big edge over the competition.
  2. Realize this is the perfect time to discover how to derive your happiness and contentment from yourself, not external factors- There will probably be no better time within our lifetime to work on this because we have no choice other than find ways to make ourselves happy. Im a natural introvert so I was always good at this, but this virus has taken me to a new level. Firstly, you have to realize that people will come and go in your life, sometimes without warning, so there's no reason to rely on others to make you feel whole. Im not saying that you shouldn't enjoy other peoples company, just that you shouldn't NEED their company, only WANT to have them around. The second aspect of this is hobbies, specifically hobbies done alone. Social hobbies are great to, but we're focusing on solo hobbies to have something were you don't need anybody else, and you have a passion for it. Passion + achieving goals within that hobby have been a significant aspect of my happiness. Solo hobbies are a much better way to fill the free time we have instead of video games and other pointless shit. Along with relieving loneliness/depression, cultivating this internal happiness will help with your game also. If you truly don't need anybody but yourself to be happy, the ultimate outcome independence is created.
  3. Journal a detailed plan for this quarantine period- I usually do this by first writing my long term overarching goals, such as I want to be able to run a marathon by the time this virus is gone. Then I make weekly goals, such as I want to be able to run 2 more miles than I could last week. Then I write down each day exactly what I am going to do that day to help me reach that goal, such as, today I will go for a 7.5 mile run with a goal pace of 8:30 per mile. Do this for every goal you have to make sure you don't turn into a pussy and slack off, never doing anything to reach your long-term goal. I did this for my last race and it worked wonders for my training. Also, the most important reason to do this is because when you have a goal and you're excited to get out and start working toward it, then you lose that initial drive to reach that goal, most people give up. But not you, because you don't need motivation, only discipline. Even with the things you enjoy doing, there will be days or weeks where you don't have the motivation to attack that goal, this is the main reason a journal will help, it creates discipline and accountability.

The lesson here is losing track of your goals and ultimately not reaching them is by far one of the most depressing and confidence killing things you could do to yourself. Im encouraging you guys, my fellow red-pill brothers, to not be a pussy and attack each day as if this virus didn't exist.

ps. This is my first post here, if its complete shit just tell me because I want feedback.
