How you shit test yourself and how to pass them

TheFamilyAlpha · 2017-06-14T18:27:27+00:00

Tell me I can't and I'll show you I can

Irrational self-confidence, a trait shared by all masculine men.

The voice in your head is the greatest enemy you'll ever face. He knows everything about you; your weaknesses, your fears, your desires, he can rationalize you into and out of everything.

The only way to overpower the voice inside is through action, it's through finding comfort in the discomfort.

Soon, you'll develop a sense of self which silences the critic in the stands, leaving you there to perform in the arena of life.

This is actually a profound insight for me. Thanks for this.

"Shit tests" are just another word for mind games.

Which women hate ironically.

I brought myself back into my frame and continued teasing, flirting and remaining one of the most alpha at this party.

This is why people make fun of this subreddit.

You say lsd doesn't mesh well with your self image? I believe that with all substances, especially psychedelics, they simply Peel back layers of the mind to reveal your true self, to yourself, if that makes sense. They are amoral and only take on the meaning we give to them through our experience. If you lack confidence when you look at your reflection, it is because your expectations for yourself are currently set higher than what you've achieved at this point. The doubt you mention is your subconscious motivating you to do what you know you have to do. Or, at least what you've convinced yourself subconsciously you have to do on a foundational level to survive in this world. Defeating these self shit tests takes action. Self motivating them away is only masking the symptom of suffering generated by your unconcious. Action followed by achievement put them to rest entirely allowing you to live in peace. Or, until you load up another expectation/goal/value etc.

You know how they say "set and setting" are the two most important things for tripping on lsd?

Your frame is basically your set,

Or mindset, if you will.

I like your message, but worrying about the dynamics of a group of people while you're on lsd night not be the most productive thing to do to learn more about yourself.

This is where "setting" comes in. Tripping around other people isn't exactly what being around them is like when you're not on acid.

I believe lsd exposes your mind to every shit test buried within it but judging yourself by your ability to snap out of a shit test or loss of confidence purely by reaction prevents you from gaining a lot of information about yourself. It confirms what you already know. To understand these self inflicted shit tests it helps to reflect on what insecurities you had when they manifested and then ponder what the source of them was. Were they grounded in realistic facts you didn't like about yourself, or merely illusions? Understanding the root of this gives you the opportunity to truly solidify your frame by conquering your weaknesses

Amendment: What happens when you fail a shit test and downward spiral into a bad trip? It's always important to be responsible about your set and setting. Not only will you reduce the risks of mishaps but you will experience more deeply spiritual experiences

Great post. Overcoming doubt and fear is one of the most important things, it'll benefit you in every way. For example, when i thought lowly of my self i didnt want to run or workout because i was afraid what other people would think of me when i do that, if they are gonna criticize my technique what they think of me and all those terrible thoughts, that meant i avoided going to gym and running because of this - which ironically enough makes the situation even worse. So its an evil spiral. Stare the fear into the motherfucking eyes. Keep ur eyes in this static position when you're looking into fear. Pretend you're this huge majestic alpha lion not giving a fuck about anyone or anything. Dont put the female lions on a piedestal. Dont give a fuck about all the hyenas. Dont give the jackals a single thought of yours. A lion doesnt lose sleep over the opinion of sheep. And by that i'll leave with this:

"You got this lion, he’s the king of the jungle. Huge mane out to here. He’s laying down under a tree, in the middle of Africa, he’s so big, he’s so hot! He doesn’t wanna move. Now, the little lion cubs they start messin’ with him, bitin’ his tail, bitin’ his ears, he doesn’t do anything. The lioness, she starts messing with him, coming over making trouble, still nothing. Now the other animals, they notice this, and they start to move in. The jackals, hyenas, they’re barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes and eat the food that’s in his domain. They do this and they get closer and closer and bolder and bolder, till one day…that lion gets up and tears the shit outta everybody, runs like the wind, eats everything in his path, ’cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals who he is."

Be that lion now. Now.

I dont know why, but when i hear someone say i was "tripping lsd" or "tripping mushrooms" is irks me beyond comprehension. Which is a problem because i and most of my friends love to trip so i hear it all the time lol.

You were tripping ON or FROM insert substance

letsdocrack · 2017-06-15T21:52:39+00:00

I do this. Not all the time, but every once in a while I catch myself out at a bar or a party and I'm just kinda feeling "meh". I'll be not talking to people, or if I am talking, just to fill the silence.

I take myself out of the situation and challenge myself, "I bet you can't talk to x person" or "You probably don't have the confidence to dance" ect. That usually is enough to get the ball rolling, once I get over the initial slump I'm back in the groove.

Might not work for everyone, I know myself and that I'm competitive to a pretty extreme degree, so this is how I motivate myself.

omgwot · 2017-06-15T03:13:44+00:00

Recently I started at a new job and a girl who had been there for a few months was eyeing me. One day out of nowhere she tells my name while I was walking by and asks me what I was doing. I was so taken aback I dropped the spaghetti hard AF. I wasn't ready at all. Was that a shit test?

Also, just as an FYI she's firey. She has a bombastic personality.

moistarmpit · 2017-06-14T20:22:35+00:00

Don't you think lsd waa helping out breaking and regaining your frame?

babyfister6969 · 2017-06-15T00:50:07+00:00

You have to pass the shit test randers.

redrummilf · 2017-06-15T01:36:48+00:00

There is nothing to fear but fear itself

AnonymousAndLovinIt · 2017-06-15T01:52:50+00:00

Can you explain how you shit tested yourself?

BodyofAdonis · 2017-06-15T04:39:52+00:00

I think your post could have spent more time discussing Why shit testing yourself is so beneficial. Definitely worth expanding on. Also, you could have delved deeper on ways to do it rather than plugging in a vague and all-too-common Field Report about how you pushed through some discomfort to bang some girl. (and the lsd. unless you don't fear LE, keep that shit to yourself random internet stranger.) But other than that, I honestly thought it was a good article.

madmattmen · 2017-06-16T22:21:05+00:00

A recent break up brought me to TRP. Self shit tests may be the biggest revelation for me. People shit test you, ignore, or 1up. I shit test myself with doubt, I give in. What's the difference between me saying I'm not good enough and others saying the same? NOTHING. Either way someone is in the way of me doing what I want. Great post. Thank you

HeyN0ngMan · 2017-06-14T23:20:03+00:00

Tldr - stop being such a pussy

red-sfpplus · 2017-06-14T17:10:02+00:00

I don't understand the point of this post at all and have nothing of real value to add other than, considering you were on LSD your 8/10 girl was probably a 3/10 that you thought was an 8/10 girl.

8/10 girls are not generally at the party doing LSD. They are in the bathroom doing lines of coke.

Questionnaire7 · 2017-06-15T00:01:27+00:00

I ended the night with a girl that blew my mind

You pulled a girl while on LSD?

Cunt_Robber · 2017-06-15T02:23:47+00:00

OP, your frame is going to dissolve when you take LSD. That's just about a given. You don't want to have to "fix your frame" during a trip. That defeats its purpose - ego death (depending on the dose) makes it near impossible to voluntarily control this.

This post is an example of the blind leading the blind. LSD is not a party drug. I have a huge issue with this. Very poor example. Like TRP, psychedelics are tools to help us see and understand the world differently. How you describe your use of the tools is like using a wrench to operate a screwdriver. ONE SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER.

There are no "self shit tests," there is doubt, insecurity, and lack of confidence. Cultivating the positives isn't something you just switch on. Giving others this idea will lead them down the wrong path. You should discuss how others can cultivate confidence, a strong frame, etc. but this is known (aka, the usual TRP advice).

Ninokun · 2017-06-14T20:21:46+00:00

What is this ??, why do u state u took lsd, do u want to show off or what you rat, this shits weak man.

bunny_throwaway · 2017-06-14T16:54:14+00:00

Mental masturbation. You don't need to shit test yourself wtf?

Go to the gym and lift heavy weights. Thats it. There is your frame being hardened.

Tokestra420 · 2017-06-14T21:04:17+00:00

So how many dudes in here actually have girlfriends?

nitegod · 2017-06-15T01:51:47+00:00

Jesus you have to be weak as fuck to care that much. Being outgoing and interesting is all you need to pass a 'shit test.' Quit making excuses, be a man, and just do your thing.

And stop thinking in terms of alpha and beta. Women don't think that way. Only guys that get rejected think that way.
