How to control emotions

Liberal_NPC_0025 · 2020-12-18T22:27:33+00:00

Just work hard enough until one day you’re your own boss and can’t get canceled for thoughtcrime. At the end of the day, men still rule the world. The richest people in the world are all straight white men (Vladimir Putin, Jeff bezos, Bill Gates). The richest person who ever lived was Augustus Caesar.

No matter how hard Progressives try to establish some sort of matriarchy, civilization requires patriarchy. We men will always face hardships and cruelty and are rarely rewarded for our accomplishments the same way that women and/or children are. Men are always expendable in wars and conflicts.

Im 25 and i also work in IT and let me tell you something, all the best programmers are male. Our brains are biologically wired to be more analytical than that or a female. The vast majority of people with IQs over 130 are male. The strongest people in the world are male. The best chefs in the world are male. The best doctors in the world are male. Even in “female” industries men are better than women.

Cheer up lad, you’ll make it. You’ll be successful if you set your mind to it. Have the willpower to do it. Don’t be discouraged by idiots in power who shame you for who you are.

racism & disadvantages against white males being normalised

This right here indicates that you need to fully internalise Seneca. Where are you getting this stuff in the first place? From Twitter feeds of trans academics? From conservative media sites? Look arounds you and notice the millions of people who don’t perceive themselves to be persecuted as white males. Why is this? Most likely because they not consume the same media as you yet they are happily living their lives. You’re being used by conservative media to create a movement based on manufactured anger. Has it improved your life? Clearly not if you’re posting here. Then it’s of no value to you so dump it. Only let things into your life that add value.

If Trump somehow made it back in it would make no difference to your life and you’d still be a low wage slave working the same job. If you focused on what you could do in terms of a career path and certifications you could achieve in the next two years then this would give you a short term goal you could realistically work towards.

Being part of a political movement makes you feel part of something bigger, a tribe but that won’t help you. Stop seeing yourself as a conservative or liberal and as a self interested agent and all this political shit just drops away.

I constantly thing about these things and obsess over them and it's making me very angry constantly.

You need a IDGAF attitude. Freaking out about covid, elections, or the like isn't going to help you at all.

You can only control the things you can control. Things you can't control, need not bother you.

Getting arrested?

Method 1: Just do nothing, be polite, be handcuffed, go to jail, let lawyers sort it out. It is what it is.

Method 2: Punch the cop and try running away believing you can outrun a bullet traveling at 1200 ft/sec.

Method 1 actually works and is low stress. Method 2 tends not to work.

You just need to stop stressing about bullshit you can't change. Outsourcing? Automation? You do know 90% of what you know about that is from political ideology shills trying to get you to support economic policies that will fuck you over right?

Let's say you can magically automate construction tomorrow. You can't, but let's play pretend. So now you got a job at a tech company where automating construction has zero effect on you.

You are in control of that. You aren't in control of other things. You need to stop caring about things you have zero control over.

Being paranoid, fearful, angry, etc. is intentionally being stoked in you so you'll believe in ideologies someone else came up with, not you. Stop falling into someone else's propaganda and frame.

BlackStonedValentine · 2020-12-18T23:49:16+00:00

Your spending way to much time keeping up with current affairs.

Get off Twitter, get off Reddit and stop reading the news and shit like that.

“I’m unproductive cause the world makes me mad”

Then stop worrying about it. What are YOU going to do about it? Nothing.

Your so busy worrying about bullshit you can’t control that your going to lose the little bit of control and discipline you have right now to better yourself.

Change up your habits. Read a book instead of the news. Go for a jog instead of reading shit posts on here and Twitter.

You know what your problem is, quit being a pussy and stop looking for someone to hold your hand on how to do things. Your mad? So what? Wtf are you going to accomplish being “mad”?

Nothing.

Focus on yourself, fuck everything and everyone else.

Now quit your whining pussy and go get some shit done.

Hi i’m new here! Well... just don’t care. Just topple them. Learn to topple down. Someone yelling stuff at you? Just shut them off with a sentence. Someone threatening you? Castle law... election fraud? Don’t worry, we are fucked anyway. I simply learnt to take all bad influxes, and just shut them up. It’s better letting emotuons out then keeping them in.

ConfederateGuy · 2020-12-19T14:38:41+00:00

Ok little bro listen and listen to me very fucking closely right now.

I am a 50 year old man and as an internet stranger who you dont know from Adam I want to give you some solid advice to help you avoid a common mistake.

Your a Young/White/sucessful( whether you think you are or not/Male and therefore YOU are a prime target for hate groups. I'm not talking the out right idiots that run around in hoods and robes I'm talking the subtle ones, the classy high tech charismatic ones. They look for guys like you.

You said yourself you're full of hate and rage right now well buddy CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!

Don't let that hate of yours give those fools power over you.

I'm in tech too. I've been in the IT industy for over 15 years and love it. I have dealt with some idiot diversity hires and some lazy do nothings but thats every job not just tech.

Heres why you hate, here is where your rgae comes from. You feel attacked because what you see as being normal is being challenged and is changing. Well kid that's life. I despise when they take down statues that are over 100 years old because NOW they're racist but before they were history. I hate it but me hating it serves no purpose. What does your hate do? it only fuels the guys that want to go out and commit crimes against others. There are tons of Young White men in prison right now because they felt hate too and they were easly groomed by these fucking race vultures into commiting crimes that ruined their lives. Dont be the next one.

If you want to stop hating then find something to love, find a hobby, find some bros, find a massive sex toy if thats what it takes but do soemthing to calm this hate down or else it will lead to a ruined life, if your lucky it'll be just yours; if not you could wreck someone elses and then know true pain and regret the rest of your life.

I was like you. I tried to join the KKK realy early on when I was 18 and they rejected me because I wasn't born in the US AND I wasn't a Christian, best thing they ever did for me.

Dont let this hate eat you up. Focus on the next cert you need in order to advance your career. Are you a triple threat yet? Do you have your A+/Net+/Sec+ and your CCNA? what about CASP? <-- none of this matters if your in programming or coding.

Your only 22 so listen to an internet stranger when I say the hate groups will try and recruit you and IF you are filled with hate due do feeling attacked because of your race/gender or whatever then they'll have an easy time doing it and leading you where they want you to go not where you want to go.

Good luck, PM me if you have any questions or if you just want to BS.

Solo_and_Simple · 2020-12-19T17:02:07+00:00

I'd suggest the following.

Unplug from whatever sources are feeding you info about these topics (the ones you list in parentheses). Take a long break from whatever media sources are feeding you that stuff. I'm not saying there isn't validity to it, just that being reminded of it constantly is just stoking your anger and resentment.
Feed your mind more positive material to replace the stuff that you've cut out. Nature abhors a vacuum, so when you excise the negative, replace it with something positive.
Read some books on anger management. The Anger Fallacy isn't bad. That's one place to begin.
I'm sure others have suggested this already, but physical exercise helps.

Good luck. Anger sucks, and being angry is not a good way to live. Do what you can to work on it daily, and it'll get better eventually. Just keep at it.

GlobalAsshat · 2020-12-19T06:46:47+00:00

For me the best way is to set healthy habits. I replace idle computer time with doing yoga, practicing guitar, and mindful meditation. I disconnect from stimulation and spend more time just being or listening to the radio. I have a room dedicated for this stuff. This mindful sort of behavior trains the mind to be more at peace. Throw in some visualization exercises also.

Of course for this to work you need the right mindset. You need to learn that your thoughts and emotional reactions are very impersonal aspects of your being, and basically programmed into you via repetition. Learn to observe your emotions without reacting to them.... It takes time ... Perhaps years .. it's hard to explain in a couple of paragraphs and might be harder to apply at age 22 with raging hormones.

Try to not get upset at things you can't change. Disconnect from forums and media outlets if you find yourself getting angry about politics...it's pointless to get angry at this stuff. Don't even consume this content. Don't visit the original subreddit or other black pilled related subreddits if you take them too seriously. The best way to change is not to fight who you are or fight society it's choosing to focus on something else and doing it long enough to make it a habit...replace bad habits with better ones ... Strive to improve 1% each day and not all at once. Remember .. garbage inputs will give you garbage output... Consume the right sort of information.

Most important ...don't take yourself too seriously....learn to relax and accept others....be more playful if you can. Good luck!

Uncle_T_123 · 2020-12-18T23:25:43+00:00

I was in your exact position 25 years ago. The thing that worked believe it or not was eating. I never ate breakfast, and if I worked late, never ate dinner. It took me 5 years of arguments and damage to my reputation before I figured out I was just hangry most of the time.

Now I eat breakfast no matter what, protien is what your brain needs not sugar or carbs in the morning. If I know I'm working late, I make sure to eat at 5 pm then continue. Not 6 or 7, at 5. Life changing, wiped out 95% of the anger in my life.

silver_zepher · 2020-12-28T04:46:11+00:00

Seneca is great, id suggest meditations first instead. Its practical and useful, and for your line of work the art of War.

"You might fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will" basically society is going to hold you back, but you're part of a community about going your own way, you make your path

hentai-police · 2020-12-25T03:54:10+00:00

Of course my number one advice would be to seek a therapist, that can help you deal with these emotions. I understand that for whatever reasons you may not want to get a therapist, which is fine, totally understandable. Some other things that might help are maybe expressing your frustration through art, or doing other calming activities such as exercise or meditation. Maybe pick up a nice hobby that you enjoy and focus on that in your free time

throwawayname6996 · 2020-12-19T06:15:54+00:00

I’m seeing all of this advice, but nobody is saying what you truly need to know: embrace it. You have to embrace this rage that you have in a healthy way. Stuff like boxing, working out, listening to angry music, etc. Will help you accept reality. Is part of the five stages of grief. Everybody goes through it, and you can’t avoid it bro.

And there are plenty other ways of blowing off steam as well. If you got any hobbies, I suggest focusing on those more. If you like playing video games, try playing something where you get to kill people. Or if you’re a recreational drug user, smoke some weed. You could even find someone close to you that you care about to vent about these problems (of course you have to make sure that they actually are on the same page as you when it comes to red pill, otherwise they won’t understand).

But the more that you embrace it, the easier it will be to deal with on a day-to-day basis. It won’t be easy bro, I’ll tell you that. And they may even last up to a year, but I recommend embracing it for the future.

And also, try your best not to focus so much on the whole race thing. Just because someone may be more desirable in the dating market, does it mean that you can be valuable as well. I’m not saying that some people don’t have race as preference, some people are shallow like that. But if you are a man of value, women will want you regardless of race, or whatever is cool to lust over. Your market value can also increase or decrease based on where you stay as well, because it could simply be a Geographical preference in that state or country. But nonetheless, understand that Women outnumber us from 7 to 1. So it doesn’t matter what some people may like, there will always be people with different choices.

A famous saying goes: if you chase women, you will run out of money. If you chase money, you will never run out of women. So just focus on yourself, and focus on getting your mind right, your body right, and your bread right, And you won’t even have to worry about all of this stuff. Wish you the best of luck bro

NotherThrowaway284 · 2020-12-19T00:40:35+00:00

Focus much more attention on things that you do like and consciously work toward maximizing your enjoyment/appreciation of them. An indirect result of that will be an increase in your happiness and a decrease in anger.

Fighting it directly won't work: it's a lot like forcibly trying to stop thinking of elephants, you know? Similarly, telling yourself to stop feeling anger is a great way to become more angry. Directing more and more of your attention and energy to things you find genuinely rewarding, on the other hand, really does work.

Of course, staying angry takes a lot less effort. I've never seen it lead to happiness, though.

a_quiet_accountant · 2020-12-19T01:18:46+00:00

it's called red pill rage and alot of men go through it... it's kinda like losing a loved one, u never really get over it but u kinda do get over it in a way. It takes time. For most guys I bet it takes alot longer than a few months.

LaserMcKenzie · 2020-12-19T02:21:01+00:00

Buddy, I can 100% relate. I was the exact same way. And there's only one truth you need to understand and constantly recognize in your every day life...

It is impossible to change someone's mind. No one in history has ever changed someone's mind. That's a fact.

Everyone sees things differently and approaches problems differently. People don't get their minds changed, they change their own minds when presented with different ideas and if they can rationalize them into their worldview. This is easier for some because they will base their worldview on what they observe, and other will base their worldview off of the decisions they make and try to conform things to their mindset.

When you truly recognize you can't change someone's mind, that's when you'll find peace. You won't waste effort, just share your thoughts and move on if the discussion can't be civil.

If you see everything turning into an idiocracy, and you feel it's ruining your vision for how your life should go, change your perception. You can't change or control the world around you. The red pill is about living your best life under the circumstances, and adapting to changes.

I'd recommend you read some of Aaron Clarey's books, especially Enjoy the Decline. They will help you find some solace and tangible advice on how to adapt.

Best ot luck bro.

PHUCK_THE_HIVE · 2020-12-19T03:05:35+00:00

I'm an independent voter. I like trump, but this election fraud is stupid. Learn to truly be INDEPENDENT. TRULY.

George Washington was against the two party system. You should've too and don't let that shit brainwash you.

I'm almost an anarchist for that reason. Tear it all down and build the government up right.

zedbrutal · 2020-12-19T03:12:03+00:00

Twitter/Facebook ....... Fox News/MSNBC are outrage machines which constantly feed off of anger and rage. Try taking a break for one week and see if you feel better.
