TRP showed me the light but robbed me of my happiness. I can't help but feel disgusted by the world.

wawakaka · 2018-04-10T12:45:19+00:00

If you were happy you would not have needed or found the Red Pill

Obviously something was off and you sensed it

Happiness isn't infinite to me it sounds like you have become a master at this game and you are now bored

You also have the advantage of being good looking which makes things easy for you unlike an average dude who needs to rely on game to succeed your looks are like a cobra hypnotizing it's prey

Time for a new game in life become a master at something else

W_O_M_B_A_T · 2018-04-10T12:42:46+00:00

Why are you upset at barely enlightened apes for being barely enlightened apes?

You need to embrace your inner ape.

Morphs_ · 2018-04-10T13:05:06+00:00

You're not in the acceptance stage yet, but you're getting close: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/1x0gln/the_five_stages_of_red_pill_and_how_to_read_rtrp/

You're in the depression stage, right before things will clear up once again. I think you're still a bit hung up over your gf. Also, if TRP is the cause of your 'depression' that means your false sense of happiness was based on being in a relationship with a woman. That should NEVER be the prerequisite of happiness. You should be happy by yourself, and whatever woman you're in contact with, gets to share your happiness. This can be as plate, FwB, LTR, whatever.

It's all been reduced to science. This is something you do yourself. Pour some passion in it. Live, enjoy the process. When I have sex I try to do it with the most passion possible, as if it's my last fuck on this planet.

Last year was pretty tough with a BPD gf, I was living in redflag-land, going shit paranoid. Now that LTR is over and I'm living the life.

Also, it's good to take a step back from TRP from time to time. The stuff here is pretty harsh and exposing yourself to it 24/7 can be a mindfuck. I've had this too last year. I took some time off, but still digested a lot of the material. Now I'm back and I'm reading stuff in a much more peaceful manner. That said, right now I'm immune to stuff like being cheated on, simply because I'm not in a relationship. It's awesome.

And like the rest said, build your life. See your friends, exercise a lot, read a lot, get some cool hobbies, start a business. There's too much cool stuff in the world waiting for you.

Shakedaddy4x · 2018-04-10T12:51:26+00:00

Sounds like you need some hobbies, bro. Find things that you love and give life meaning. Start reading some badass novels. There's a ton of great recommendations on r/books, shit that's changed my life. Also are you still lifting? Just making sure. Lifting and exercise in general helps a shit-ton with mood and a general sense of well being

McVaghunter · 2018-04-10T15:37:23+00:00

Your ignorance-based happiness wouldn't have lasted; a shitload of happy monogamous men are getting fucked over by their lovers everyday, just like that, slapped back to reality. At least you slapped your ow, self back to it instead of learning the truth years from now when your wife suddenly decides she wants to find herself (AKA going in a dick sucking spree) and strips you away of you money and takes your children away from you.

You need a real mission. Life is not about women and pussy. Pussy is nothing, a warm lubricated hole you stick your dick in to release your sexual desires and get back to whatever important shit you were doing first.

TRP goal is simple: It teaches you how to get more pussy using less time, money and effort, in order to invest these three elements perusing your real mission. You do that by looking your very best (High SMV) and by approaching women efficiently (Game).

TheStumblingWolf · 2018-04-10T13:13:33+00:00

The wind blows, gravity pulls things, and human nature is human nature. It just is. It's neither positive or negative. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. Choose to use this knowledge to reach your goals.

htbf · 2018-04-10T16:09:17+00:00

You deny it and that's a very cliché symptom, but you are depressed. You are not at "I want to end it" depressed (even though you clearly have those thoughts) but you are at "wha'ts the fucking point" depressed.

You will learn to appreciate what women have to offer and you will learn to appreciate that not all women offer it the same way and not all women have something to offer to to start with this. You will understand that just because you thought things were one way and they are another doesn't need to have be so difficult for you.

Also, you are focused, like way too many of us and me included way too much on women. We keep repeating that women have to be a side-thing to an otherwise full life but we struggle to internalize that in a world where we don't have to fight for anything and most of our needs are cared for. But still, you need to build a journey, one that shakes you and it's your duty to yourself to do that.

Don't settle for your current environment, don't be a sheep, don't accept things you find unacceptable, don't close your eyes at injustice and misery, don't ignore your deep desires, don't let anyone dictate you your own story and go write it.

The world is a beautiful canvas. Do whatever you want with it. One day at a time.

FuriousMouse · 2018-04-10T18:52:57+00:00

I get the feeling that you consider your "worth" based on external validation you get from girls. And since you can control the validation you get from girls you feel like your life is pointless.

It's like someone who entered a cheat-code into a computer game and is now playing as an immortal all-powerful god. After a while you understand that the joke is on you still playing that pointless game.

The next RP thing to realise is that life is not about fucking girls or even about girls at all. Your life is about you.

I know this may sound weird but "prepare to die". One day, hopefully in the distant future you will die. What do you want to have achieved in life then?

Read the Greek philosophers, get a good degree and a good work. Keep your mind sharp and deepen your life by doing voluntary charitable work. You may have mastered girls but you still haven't mastered the workplace social dynamics. That's another interesting animal.

You're 22, you have your life ahead of you and you already have a good start. You have already mastered what most men struggle with most of their lives. Now move on to the next challenge and be happy.

FlyingSexistPig · 2018-04-10T13:32:00+00:00

In the 5 stages of grief, you're in stage 4, depression. Next is acceptance, the final stage.

bob13bob · 2018-04-10T21:07:41+00:00

You don't need to plate girls, find a good girl and commit. Many young me in here foolishly try to score girls, spend that energy and ambition towards building your life instead.

Committing to one girl of course makes you open to heartbreak, but HTFU. sometimes it'll take a few tries to find the right one.

wkndatbernardus · 2018-04-10T16:41:07+00:00

I'd say your definition of happiness needs a little tweaking. Aristotle insists that happiness isn't a state of being, emotional or psychological, but rather habitual virtuous acts. In other words, moods come and go (especially with women;-) but what endures is the consistent practice of noble activity. We are, to a great extent, our actions so, becoming excellent in a field of human endeavor is the key to unlocking your well being/happiness/flourishing.

daveofmars · 2018-04-10T13:14:50+00:00

You need a purpose greater than girls.

resnine · 2018-04-10T14:29:45+00:00

Find new challenges, life is full of them. Challenges, although difficult, actually give one a sense of true accomplishment. Maybe you feel that the thrill is gone because you can game. But this is only one facet of human existence. You're 22 and the world is vast, male/female interactions is only one aspect of the world. Once you face one problem, accomplish it, a new door opens a library of other facets of life. It's like a video game or movie, you got to learn how it all works to master it/understand it (be controls, or the plot), and you got to see how it all ends, you have only just begun.

Soderbergh · 2018-04-10T12:41:56+00:00

This new knowledge isn't something you extract happiness from. Plus happiness isn't that great of a goal - its fleeting. You will achieve a joyfulness in life as you realize this great game we play is full of great times far surprising your boyish insecure notions of love.

Fm661 · 2018-04-10T12:50:58+00:00

Find your mission and work on it, keep achieving and moving forward. As with Mersault in the stranger you realise the absurdity of it all... what are you going to do about it? Life is absurd and it’s a fundamental thing we need to get to terms with.

Deep_freeze202 · 2018-04-10T12:58:43+00:00

So what is your mission? What purpose do you have outside of women? Sounds to me you're bitching about not finding fullfilment in relationships now that you understand how things work.

For fucks sake you're free if you want to leave then leave, do what you want to do, live the life you want to live that's the whole fucking point isn't it.

[deleted] · 2018-04-10T13:42:04+00:00

When I really analyse it, I know things can never return to the boyish infatuation I once had. Coming home and collapsing on my bed in what I thought was love.

Those feelings used to be healthy and encouraged. With unchecked female hypergamy, however, it's no longer wise to follow such feelings for every girl you're interested in.

iqbal002 · 2018-04-10T13:44:23+00:00

just post again when you pass this stage and feel happy swallowing the pill , you will be a good "field report" for the new TRPers

InformalCriticism · 2018-04-10T13:50:53+00:00

I can't imagine taking the red pill before I did, so add salt when needed:

It always sucks lifting the veil from your eyes.

Knowledge is saddening sometimes. This is one of those times. It can also lead to anger (it did for me).

Apathy is a tool, but like most tools it can be used to benefit or harm.

Apathy came easily for me at your age. It is actually a pretty useful tool in spinning plates, but it doesn't sound like that's your goal.

Value, self actualization, meaning, all come with time and experience; neither is sufficient without the other, and both are necessary.

You need to meditate and reflect on your core. The more you understand what you value, the more easily you can dismiss and pity those HBs who have nothing to offer you. What you'll find is once you progress in life and all the shallow females around you understand their time is running out, and they need to bring something to the table, they will start to separate themselves from the pack in desperate attempt to salvage their future. That is, some do, some don't.

What I found is that no matter your age, the most intelligent, the most capable, and most "lovable" females know early that relationships are transactional, and they look for older men, that's where time comes in. It might suck now, but you still get to have fun in your youth with the knowledge that even more comes to you with age.

Work on your social skills, your chosen profession, take care of yourself (it matters), get a good group of close friends, and the rest will fall into place.

Just don't stop putting forth your best effort, and you will summit a mountain to enjoy the view.

You might learn to enjoy females for what they are in time, but give yourself the chance to experience them before you give up entirely.

If none of that rings true, or you try it out and it works, you would be one of the finest examples of MGTOW the world will witness, and that's something to strive toward in and of itself.

GunPostal · 2018-04-10T14:48:31+00:00

You haven't reached the ACCEPTANCE part of the Stages of Grief.

Forgive the women for being women but do not forget.

What you are feeling is the withdrawal symptoms of the FUN of chasing girls, losing its effect in you. You need to have a new type of fun or a mission or goal in life that is bigger than you.

Once you get that figured out, make use of all what you learned in TRP to make it happen. You can use the women in your life as an inspiration, an ally or a personal help to achieve them.

Nonstopas · 2018-04-10T17:59:02+00:00

Every man must have a mission, something he breathes trough, something that makes him wake up in the morning.

At first perhaps that mission was TRP for you, but now, since you finished it and got good at it, you have to find another mission.

Being busy is the only way to escape the mental state of unhappiness, get rid of the word happy, you will never be happy forever, it comes and goes, just embrace it. Find your true mission, find a goal, and fight for it.

cdogg75 · 2018-04-10T19:29:34+00:00

You need to find a purpose in your life. To date it sounds (like most men at that age) you have spent too much time investing in women and relationships. Spend some time finding out what makes you happy, and explore it more, deeply. Life isn't about getting laid. Once you find what gives you meaning in your life, having a companion ( in whatever form you choose,eg: multiple plates) will compliment your life. Giving her anything more than that is a fools errand.

All the greatest men in life are not admired for their chasing of pussy. What do you want to be remembered for?

trppr · 2018-04-10T20:24:01+00:00

Soooo don't make your life about banging girls.

Pretty fucking simple concept.

You sound lazy and entitled, and are probably used to getting things easily without doing much work throughout your whole life.

Well now you have to work...at executing on the simple concept that is complex in application. Find your mission, go to the deeper levels of your psyche and pull out your existence from the depths of shit its trapped underneath. The problem with having things come easy is that when you have a real challenge you are ill prepared to deal with it. So just be prepared for things to be difficult, and change your paradigm to accept hardship. Of course you are contemplating the easy way out, work is hard!

SkorchZang · 2018-04-10T20:56:51+00:00

It takes some time, but down the road you will see clear as day how this isn't about the ugliness of the world itself, it's about the loss of something beautiful you used to mistakenly believe in. A bit like childhood ending, it's a sad thing if you saw yourself as a child and now that's forcibly gone. At least with childhood, most of us can't wait to be adults already, we look forward to it. Nobody looks forward to finding out how girls instinctively mess with your mind and how pathetic we're all trained to be in response.

When that next-stop hits for you, you can look forward to relaxing a lot. The world will turn even more beautiful to you than it ever was in fake blue pill fantasy. You will see its tear-jerking fragility and the beauty of the overall game. Even if here and there it's being mean to personally you, the overall game is charming, and it is the opposite of nihilistic in the way it affirms life itself - not an individual man or woman's ego.

dthlist · 2018-04-11T00:50:47+00:00

Be happy you ever got that, many of us are here because we got nothing at all from women...

[deleted] · 2018-04-11T00:50:58+00:00

You have discovered that finding “everlasting love” with a woman is not a mission in life and you have become sad because the “trophy” you were searching for is not really an award / fill you with all the validation you were desperately seeking.

You will find that a fulfilling romantic relationship is an excellent accessory to a fulfilling life. Pursue your curiosities, pursue your goals and interests.

If you happen to have a lovely lady by your side while doing this - tremendous. But if you’re doing it right, you won’t need a lovely lady, and that’s when they’ll turn up in droves.

MattyAnon · 2018-04-11T12:16:32+00:00

The mystery feels like it's gone and it's never coming back

Yes. No mystery, and no delusion of "happily ever after". It's painful to lose that now. You feel like you lost something.

You have just found out Santa Claus isn't real, and you've saved yourself a lifetime of stored up misery when your darling virgin turns out to be a whore who divorcerapes you.

I am truly disgusted with the way the world works

The fairy tale has ended, but reality is still pretty good. Better even. It takes time to adapt to it though.

The world has embittered me. Women cheating. The predictable AF/BB. People say TRPers get a sick pleasure of sorts but actually it's a displeasure in realising that it works so well

Build yourself for yourself, rather than a dependence on women and their approval. It's different but better.

I am not happy and I was happy before I knew what TRP was

You were happily deluded and setting yourself up to be a good little wageslave before the system chewed you up and destroyed you. This is better.

4nt43us · 2018-04-11T21:34:22+00:00

Came a bit late but hopefully you still give this a read...

First you have to understand that the purpose of life is not to pursue or feel happiness. This is a massive fallacy perpetuated by media. Happiness and the pursuit of happiness is not the purpose of life. You should not strive to accomplish things because they make you feel happy. Why? Because happiness is a fleeting emotion. Happiness will not get you through the tough times, the hard years at work, push you to do the extra set, make you challenge yourself. It will not force you to think critically. Therefore, the fact you feel unhappy is not the end of the world. Happiness is a mere fortunate byproduct when you pursue you life goal.

This brings me to the purpose of life, to pursue some type of meaningful goal attribute to improving oneself or ones society. It seems you have achieved your goals in life and not made the effort to take the finish line that step further. You cannot just cross the finish line and then go, "hmph that it's, I've won - what next?". You have to push the finish line further and never reach it throughout life.

If you are having a hard time defining your goals you need to spend some time with yourself and reflect on what is important in life. It refreshes me to realize that we all die one day. One day I am going to die and cease existing - am I really pursuing my life goal?

The world depresses you? Do something about the world then, educate, teach.

Also I warn you to be careful of subscribing to another philosophy, i.e. the red pill, without giving it critical thinking yourself. If you do it is just as bad as when you subscribed to the beta- blue pill philosophy your entire life. Not everything about the red-pill is correct, it is an evolving philosophy just like everything so don't just take everything for face value. All the best.

Forcetobereckonedwit · 2018-04-10T13:55:31+00:00

Social and sexual interaction should not be the focus of your life. Art, philosophy, altruism, skills, craft; aim for these and build a man of substance not a stud horse.

MarkJohnPaul · 2018-04-10T14:36:34+00:00

Alright man, hear me out. You seem clever - that coupled with your looks make things easy for you. The lack of challenge is leading to boredom, which makes you want to seek more difficult choices to make. Take my words with a grain of salt, but I think you should branch out and experience some new places. You're 22 and in college. There are plenty of opportunities to study abroad. After you graduate and you hop into this rat race you'll rarely ever get a chance like you have now. Don't use your time in college wisely, instead use it to go do something awesome. Hit up Fiji, Korea, Italy...idk whatever suits you. Never stop TRP grind and mindset but just take a vacation or something and enjoy yourself at 22.

zboo1h · 2018-04-10T16:08:10+00:00

tumult0us4 · 2018-04-11T01:32:15+00:00

Maybe don’t live so selfishly and try to help out others? In this community, or with any other social issues where you might have an advantage. There’s no shortage of men and women looking for a chance at a better life. I can’t describe anyone on paper with a better set up in life than you.

Interesting post. Redpills and blackpills definitely do away with the Unicorn / love / NAWALT fantasies of Bluepillland... but I still see value in women, companionship despite all that.

Schhwing · 2018-04-11T11:09:57+00:00

Don’t forget that girls are innocent in their behaviour. That their behaviour is natural selection at play. It’s not their fault they act the way they do, which is why they are fascinating. If it were calculated and spergy it would be depressing, but it’s not. It’s instinctual.

I honestly think you need to get off TRP and game and move into basing your behaviour with women from a spontaneous, intuitive, feeling position in the moment. That might bring joy/ fascination back into your pick up.
