When you tell them you are upset, 70% don't care and the other 30% are glad you are down.

If you're the kind of person who is self conscious, who often takes unsolicited criticism from other people seriously, self doubting, etc. You will do very well for yourself to think of EVERYTHING as a shit test. Subtle hints that you ought to slow down? Shit tests. Praise from someone who doesn't understand your struggle? HUGE shit test. You got to put on blinders and relentlessly pursue your interests to the detriment of giving a shit what other people have to say.

Women speak;men do. When they tell you that going to the gym is for losers,or whatever shit they might--just nod, say "okay" and pick up your gym bag and go.

Keepin it G ain't nothin, you ain't gotta like it cause the hood gon' love it.

As someone who spent the better part of a decade working 10 million shitty jobs and moving every year to find a worthwhile career this hits home.

I finally landed a good gig with sham hours and great pay. Everyone in my office is great and I sincerely love them like friends. I stand out just for doing the small things that I do anyway. It should be noted that I'm the youngest person in my office by 15 or 20 years so maybe they're thinking of marriage 1.0 or 1.5.

I started to drive a nice car a few months ago and you wouldn't believe the shit I get for it. Here are a few:

Don't work so hard

Make sure to balance your life

Don't end up rich and alone (I'm glad they think I'm going to be rich, that's a good sign)

Money isn't everything (my fucking favorite since it always comes from filthy rich people).

Stories about the one that got away because of work (not realizing the favor that was done for them)

Don't burn yourself out

There's only 2 seats in there, where's your family gonna sit?

You'll grow out of it (I'm in my 30s)

Many, MANY more. I'll share them if I remember. Of course none of that even makes it to my brain through the wads of cash stuck in my ears.

foldpak111 · 2016-02-16T05:04:56+00:00

No one is on my side...

Just the way I like it.

I became homeless on purpose while making $27/ hr to save up enough money to make shit happen. A bit extreme, I know, but there is no price too great to see what I have planned through. I only slow down to get my 8 hours and I won't let up. Godspeed.

Preach it, brother. They're only satisfied when we're miserable, overworked, broke and they're pumped full of drugs and botox on our dime.

2016-02-16T15:22:33+00:00

Life is a competition for resources. The low will desperately attempt to lower you. Mediocre loves to keep things half assed and mediocre. Then the mediocre don't have to compete so hard and can remain lazy.

Don't be lazy. Never be mediocre. Fuck em. Ride the tiger which is your life.

ChrisBenRoy · 2016-02-16T14:27:32+00:00

This thread didn't take the direction I thought it was going to take, but still great info and all true. What I was thinking was that you were going to say how no one gives a shit if you're feeling depressed or low for whatever reason. At the end of the day, even the most alpha of man is still human, so he can have times where he's feeling down. As I'm growing myself and becoming a better me, I'm finding that even w/ my closest friends, even my own brother, if I start to vent or lean on them for support if I'm going through something, they clam up, seem to not care and would rather stop talking to me. I can talk to a friend of mine for hours about ridiculous bullshit that has no bearing on anything, but start talking about anything that's bothering you and conversation comes to a screeching halt.

max_peenor · 2016-02-16T12:55:23+00:00

Women don't really want you to fail. It's in their best interest to be with a successful man who wins all the time and is getting bigger and stronger every day.

They don't want to see all the hard work that has gone into everything. They want to believe that your success in life is natural, not engineered. Of course we know better than that.

Seeing you fail so they can feel better about themselves only works in their favor if they can branch swing to a better man.

Poster_Porter · 2016-02-16T06:13:15+00:00

What in the world was my ex-girlfriend talking about when saying I should make my own company then?

Only thing I could think of is that she found me so vile and beta that she was having to tell me straight to my face what she found alpha.

harami_number1 · 2016-02-16T07:01:12+00:00

I'm assuming this refers to people in general and not just women?

Vigilo_Infinite · 2016-02-16T15:43:46+00:00

This is something I learned the hard way.

When you improve, people will hate you. When you get a prettier girlfriend or a raise at work, they will hate you. When you succeed, you give off the covert message that you are better than them.

All you can do is be consistent in being a decent human being - spending your time with people who mean something to you because they will appreciate that vulnerability and respond in kind.

That's how true friends are gathered - ones who are secure enough in themselves to not get jealous and not see a line of criticism with your actions. Those are the strong ones and the ones worth keeping.

I don't need anybody's help.

Vegeta

Honestly, I never got along with my father when I was younger. All my strength came from just one anime character.

supersonic-turtle · 2016-02-16T14:36:35+00:00

I have been working on a phrase for myself and for others who start to feel down on themselves "the world is not out to get you its just out to help itself " which is true, as a man if you want something you have to go get it, sad but sometimes people are stepping stones and shit rolls down hill so do your work the best of your ability and try like hell to make it life work for you.

swordfish1985 · 2016-02-16T15:36:19+00:00

I agree with you too, got all those comments from everyone guys and girls like

Purecorrupt · 2016-02-16T15:37:04+00:00

I don't usually get these talks, but I have observed them.

I was getting dinner with my folks last weekend after helping them move stuff. I was sitting outside chilling next to another family. There was a fat couple and I presume the male's sister along with 3 kids under 10.

The couple was extremely obese. The guy was about my height ~5'9" and if I had to guess... Near 300lbs. My dad's slightly taller than me and fat and weighs 240 or so I think my estimate holds. This guy was just fat head to toe. His wife was a similar ratio, but closer to 5'0".

At one point sitting down one of his kids ignores him hard about staying in one area / spot. He started to mumble to himself and his wife "oh look he's not listening" and acted like he was going to do something later. I sort of cringed.

Now the sister or other female was not fat. In fact it seemed like she may actually be active. She brought up going to the gym and the fat wife immediately said "You don't need to go to the gym look at you".

Holy fuck my brain melted.

The fat wife went on to passively shame her husband talking about how they (he) needs to go to the gym and some comments about his feet in whatever shoes he was wearing.

When they KNOW they have genuinely hurt you, they get tingles.

jamest0001 · 2016-02-16T14:16:09+00:00

Who is they/them you are speaking of?

PabloEscoba · 2016-02-16T16:36:42+00:00

It's called mate gaurding. It's a sign you're doing something right. Same when women start shaming you. Embrace it & dont give two shits about it.

FakeGuru · 2016-02-16T19:45:17+00:00

There is no reason to tell people what you want to do.

TheRabbitTunnel · 2016-02-16T20:06:23+00:00

Correction, 100% of them will see you as beta and lose attraction towards you.

lawrencewidman · 2016-02-16T20:35:47+00:00

like fellow mice pawing at you as you attempt to escape the cage you are all in no matter what.

Sorry for the negativity ;)

vengefully_yours · 2016-02-16T20:39:00+00:00

If you get better, she knows you can do better than her. She will have competition and have to work to keep you. She wants you to provide more, but not be stellar in any other way, because then she might lose your provisioning.

deeman010 · 2016-02-17T01:37:59+00:00

I can't agree with this though, "When they see you start making the real money... they say don't work so hard."

My great grandfather, literally, was either a president or was on the board of 20 or so companies. He died from exhaustion in his 50s and all of it came crumbling down. I'm not saying that earning a boat load of money is bad though. I'm saying that you should watch your health cause your family of spoiled rich kids won't know what to do and they'll probably lose everything you earned in a generation or two.

LeetButter6 · 2016-02-17T14:55:02+00:00

Everyone wants you to succeed, just not more than them.

Enjoyitbeforeitsover · 2016-02-17T21:46:11+00:00

Huh, what kind of bitches are you guys pairing up with? Is this a joke? Why would you even hook up with someone that doesnt respect your choices? The only time any of this shit is tolerable is if your spinning. Otherwise wtf are you expecting?

1991Kira · 2016-04-07T07:29:21+00:00

When you start seeing results at the gym... they say you are too obsessed with your appearance.

"Obsessed" is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated.

Don't give them that envious satisfaction.

The sad fact remains that there will be people in this world who will envy you no matter what you do or how little you have.

I just say fuck them and do what I want.

2016-02-16T16:43:43+00:00

Why are you telling the world your problems? No one cares, and this 'lesson' is the world telling you that.

Learn to listen

TheMGhandi · 2016-02-17T08:20:36+00:00

When you are annoyed with them, yet still are capable to speak in a calm tone...they say you're mad and dismiss everything you say.
