What's really holding you back

Go tell the people you resent that you love em and try to make things right. Part of being a man is about doing shit you don't wanna do,

Fuck that shit. Act in oppsite to what you actually feel? What could ever go wrong with that? I fully agree that you should try to let go of being stuck in your ways with hate and anger, but you should never repress em. Let em out, let em rage and when you are done let them go. That is the important point. You neither repress nor do you hold on to things. Your suggestion reads more like those emotions are bad. They are not. They have a purpose. There are no bad sensations in your body. They all tell you something. Let em, but don't get stuck on any of them. Live and accept all your emotions, but don't become attached to any of them

And go lift.

Yes, lifting is fucking great. However... TRP is no "info-dump" of all you can come up with on the spot. What has it to do with your main point? Focus on something, develop it fully, then post it.

The Red Pill is simply understood as:

Reals before Feelz

All this means is you place as a higher priority what is objectively "Real" over what are your "Feelz" about things.

The Anger Phase leads you to correcting your objective behavior and once you correct your objective (Real) behavior then there is no longer a need for anger.

Anger is the mechanism for correcting things.

You must get angry in order to break the magic spell of the Blue Pill mythology.

Anger is good and necessary to "Kill the Beta".

Once the beta is truly dead you can stop beating up on it.

(it takes some time to fully get that flushed out of the system)

/u/shitswiththedooropen has posted a similar sentiment before in which he recommends forgiving YOURSELF for the shit that has happened and moving on. Not forgiving others who have caused you harm.

Indeed, this hatred and resentment over my Father and Older sibling is holding me back, not a single day since the last 3 months I'm burning with revenge fantasies over them. What makes matter worse, other brother and uncle are pressuring me to "apologize" even though it wasn't my mistake.

Lifting is a good, yet temporary therapy for me nowadays from that, I'm unemployed and trying to land a job in Sales and will work in the evening as Barista just to keep my mind busy from overthinking and not go back to father home until late.

TL;DR - Read Marcus Aurelius and the rest of the sidebar materials.

What's really holding us back? Civilization and its laws.
