Anyone else enjoy being "ghost mode"?

Schopenhauer walks beside you:

what somebody is in himself, what accompanies him in solitude, and what nobody can give him or take away from him, is obviously more essential to him than anything that he possesses or that he may be in the eyes of others. A witty person, all alone, has excellent entertainment in his own thoughts and fantasies, whereas in a dullard the continuous diversion of parties, plays, excursions, and amusements cannot fend off the torments of boredom. Indeed, for the person who continuously enjoys an extraordinary, intellectually eminent personality, most of the generally desired pleasures are entirely superfluous, even just troublesome and annoying.

In solitude the wretched person feels his whole wretchedness and the great mind the full extent of its greatness; in short, everyone becomes aware of himself as what he is.

This is i.a. why all females hate solitude and need constant deflection.

I’m living exactly like you described, the only difference is I have zero - 0 red pilled friends. I’m in this completely all by myself, and I’m ok with it. I occasionally meet with 2-3 friends, and they try everytime to make me go back to plantation.. I’m surprised they’re still trying after all those times I said I’m not even remotely interested to go back.. Monk mode for life :)

We have absolutely no excuse as intellectual beings to subject ourselves to trivial bullshit. That includes women..unless sex is involved. But now sex is being weaponized. MGTOW

Yes they are shocked when you show indifference, both blue pill guys and women.It is like you are from another planet.This is Matrix.

cafeorange · 2018-11-08T08:09:01+00:00

It blows women's minds when you show zero interest or inclination in pleasing them.

This, seriously a slightly 5 would think shes an 9 when you just glimpse at them, in fact youre just acknowledgment that theres an obstacle called human. A friendly greeting would worsen the situation. Now i just look straight and see no reason to greet them.

TommyNicotine · 2018-11-08T11:23:55+00:00

I think that women are so accustomed to validation and attention from random nobody-dudes--many of whom are giving up the validation and attention because they think 'that's what I'm supposed to do, I'm a guy and I should be subservient'--that they are indeed shocked at a guy who shows no interest whatsoever in catering to her. They will actively try to get closer to this man, perhaps he just didn't see her. She will get louder suddenly, if you're on the bus or subway train she may spritz a little fragrance just to catch your attention. And that's all it is, 'why is he not sweating me'. They are THAT used to it, and the sight of an indifferent man is both an insult and a challenge to her.

It makes life fun.

It's the fucking best man, I love the fact nobody knows what I am up too. I pretty much ghosted all my simp mates the only awkward thing is if I see them in person hahaha

I got a private IG that nobody knows about, it's only for my photography though

A private life is the way forward in my opinion.

ShogunRonin1 · 2018-11-08T14:55:59+00:00

The god of the universe ghosts - so it has to be the best way.

unpluggedoasis · 2018-11-08T15:19:44+00:00

I had a low point in my life earlier this summer. Decided the alcohol/bars/chasing women etc. werent worth it anymore. I would just try to do well at work, fitness, pick up some hobbies.

I get lonely sometimes but I am enjoying this quiet life a lot more, also saving up more money and the idea of retiring early doesnt seem so far fetched. For the longest time all I wanted was a loving wife and kids, now the thought of marrying a used up modern woman makes me sick to my stomach.

2018-11-08T10:33:27+00:00

Comes naturally.

deadBeefCafe2014 · 2018-11-08T12:46:22+00:00

It has been an adjustment to be in ghost mode. All of it worthwhile. Being free from the snare of false approval feels great!

What it revealed to me was that what appeared to be a safety net was actually an illusion woven from scotch tape. This was initially difficult for me to reconcile between my cognitive brain and my monkey brain. At one point in my time before FakeBook became toxic, I had over 600 “friends”. In reality, I can count all of my closest friends on one hand.

But then again, dopamine is a hell of a drug.

It took long enough, but I ditched LinkedIn last week, which was the longest running vestige of social media tied to my IRL identity.

red_dread_redemption · 2018-11-08T13:09:06+00:00

Ghost mode has given me an incredible amount of structure and balance to my life, but I find myself struggling with times of leisure. It's as if it's hard to "enjoy" myself, because I know that's an elusive concept. Partying no longer has a thrill. Vacations of hedonistic pleasures lost their appeal.
Struggling with this now, my friend wants to go on a vacation, but I'd rather really just enjoy some peace and quite on a hike with my dog.

rebuildingMyself · 2018-11-08T13:51:31+00:00

Just got certified in a cloud architecture role. Blew everyone's minds that I "had the time to study". Yeah, sorry I value gainful employment over rolling the dice with thots all night

robowriter · 2018-11-08T14:13:17+00:00

Mgtow's dangerous. For many the first step to unwind the faux narrative and will eventually reveal the principials engaged in the suberfuge and undermining of culture, society and everything that you hold dear; such as your future finances, career and ability to face danger and overcome adversity. It has happened countless times throughout history. Who is funding and enabling the social engineering that would want nothing more than to remove your testes permanently?

The killer of dreams; those who make life unliveable, difficult or impossible even when you do everything right.

It's not the women. They don't know any better.

Having zero interest or inclination in pleasing them a good start.

CerebralAbrasion · 2018-11-08T12:21:22+00:00

Mostly the same here, I have FB for business groups, and I care about politics because I want the economy to be strong. Basically if it doesn't make me money I don't care. I play dumb to anyone who wants to talk, pretend I'm just another npc drone and slip under the radar. It's pretty sweet to be left alone, not deal with BS and do the things I want.

Daniel3Lancer · 2018-11-08T14:23:22+00:00

TBF I still hoard money. Although I dunno what to do with it.

o0perfect0o · 2018-11-08T07:46:40+00:00

It’s convenient,

Gordon-G · 2018-11-08T10:27:46+00:00

Indifference is the difference!!

anonylaw2 · 2018-11-08T15:35:09+00:00

Pretty much how I was before MGTOW women want nothing to do with me anyways besides my work ethic. Only now I'm not wasting anything trying to chase them. Because I'm not. Took me awhile to adopt the mindset took me awhile to finally embrace loneliness. It's a bitch when as a child you didn't receive enough from your parents so you have abandonedment issues and that you desperately tried filling that with women. Oh well hurts but something that I've had to learn to get over and bottle down.

itstreasonthen1986 · 2018-11-08T15:59:48+00:00

It's been a little rough in the sense that I've discovered how much of my fucking life I've wasted on women, but other than that, I'm happier, more energy, more time working shit out and becoming a better person. Absolutely worth it and won't look back.

mgtowben · 2018-11-08T10:35:34+00:00

High five

TryDoingSomethingNew · 2018-11-08T16:49:01+00:00

"No social media, no simping and texting random thots, no hanging out at degenerate bars trying to pick up a one night stand. No contact with women. I only speak to them when it's necessary at work. Zero contact with anyone that's not family or my 2-3 red-pilled friends."

Yeah, I've got to say that my life has gotten just better and better. I avoid social media anyway (except for a few private groups related to my side gig with online income, as they're a different [better] sort of people) as it's a petty waste of time and a huge distraction.

I quit watching TV years ago and just find what I want online etc., reading stuff, etc. My quality of life has dramatically improved and I'm not subject to mass media propaganda that the average American doofus is.

It's remarkably refreshing, and my low is very low-stress. I'm very fortunate. Not having bullshit text and messaging with silly women also avoids burning up my free time which is valuable as it's limited.

Still planning to bail and move abroad as unfortunately the war on men and America's continual slide into the drain is just really bringing me down.

TommyNicotine · 2018-11-08T15:30:46+00:00

Likewise. I'm just tall, that's it. Tall and not paying any attention to the attention seeker popping gum. The stories I could tell of the encounters I've had with random thirsty women. And they don't even know what they want--they're only drawn in because you're not feeding their egos. You stand out to them with your indifference.

badaboomxx · 2018-11-08T15:39:57+00:00

I am doing that since a couple of years ago, feels amazing.

2018-11-08T17:06:47+00:00

You are my social media :)

Been ghost mode for years, my friends and family are jealous that I've accumulated enough wealth to do whatever I want, I wake up, pour myself a cup of some rare imported green tea, eat some amazing food for breakfast and just chill out and do whatever my mind wants.

I love it.

throwaway_ftb · 2018-11-08T19:13:47+00:00

yup, ghost mode is the best mode. avoid all those traps blue pill men walk right into gentlemen.

HeyDontDoxMe · 2018-11-09T01:29:42+00:00

I have a lot of hobbies that require to meet and greet men and women. Apart from this, i get invited out often to hangouts, which I implore all of you to do.

What is odd is that women want attention, and as soon as I give it to them, they are satisfied and put on the, "Yeah, don't talk to me.." attitude. It's stupid.

I'm not even trying to hit on women nowadays. I'm just trying to be professional and network.

Yootoobactname · 2018-11-09T08:02:13+00:00

I've basically stopped shopping in stores. I get everything off amazon. They're leading in automation, so that means fewer no skill part time jobs for women. I live in a corrupt shithole, so it brings me joy to make sure it doesn't get any tax revenue from me. I buy my vehicles in different counties. The gas too. So yes, i am enjoying being in ghost mode.

SeawardLips · 2018-11-08T20:31:02+00:00

It really does allow the stress to melt away

norokuno · 2018-11-09T06:18:45+00:00

Dude, you and me could swap places and I don't think anyone would notice.
