Anyone else feeling like they're the "odd ones" making wrong choices even though you're right and everyone else is stupid, but that stupid is so normalized that it makes you seem stupid?

GeneralStoic · 2021-06-19T20:14:16+00:00

Honestly, don't even waste your energy in thinking or understanding why people like your sister and mother do what they do. Right now, what you do, and the path you want to take is the only thing that matters.

Head down, bum up, and go your own way.

Read up on female social matrix. Women have to feel included and to feel that, they've to do what others are doing. They don't do lone wolf strategy. You do you and keep carving out a path in life, that's what MGTOW is all about. You try to make your own informed choices whilst trying to make decisions based on calculated risks

Don't buy the mainstream propaganda of "having fun" because the only way to get something in life is to build it yourself from the ground.

It's not easy and it's always a lonely path but i assure you that it pays off. Now i am 30yo and i work for Microsoft with a PhD in my hands while all the other guys that "had it easy" are all stuck in their "easy job" with no chance to grow.

See, you have to improve not because of finding a job but to have the skills that will allow you to always improve your life. A dead end job will always be found, just look at all the women ending up as a cashier, clerk, waitress or bartender.

See, nowadays most people prefer to ignore their lives and are addicted to the distraction provided by social networks. Just as fat people prefer looking at funny videos instead of looking at themselves for 5 seconds and try to go for a walk.

"People will always follow what feels good and looks beautiful" Women want to be looked at to feel good, men look because are attracted to hot girls they will never have.

When you start making your money - don't give it to them. They will 100% be asking.

GYOWAndy · 2021-06-19T21:11:02+00:00

Look at the MGTOW logo for a minute and realize it's about going in your own direction. You do not answer to anyone except yourself so don't even bother trying to explain it to others that are on the "common" route.

Pro-tip, don't tell your family your plans or lofty goals, because they might very well try to stop you.

Third_Gray_Monkey · 2021-06-19T20:49:50+00:00

Acceptance is something I have internalized very much, I know I am not enough cool, not enough handsome, not enough smart, not enough whatever they want so my best way to overcome is just accepting me as I am.

Whatever you do, there's always something that is wrong with you in the words of other's so don't worry about them coz actually in first place they don't worry about you.

Bliatmobilis · 2021-06-19T21:28:30+00:00

You are smart and strong man. You are doing just fine. Hard times don’t last forever.

Sometimes I find myself in similar situations and it can fuck with my head, but it goes away when I remember why I’m doing what I’m doing.

My mom and step-dad are alcohol dependant, so living with them was hard. Whenever I rejected their offers to have a drink, they would say that “I’m too good to drink together with them”.

Now I moved to different country and whenever they call me, they are drunk. I repeatedly asked them to call me only when they are sober, but they seem to ignore it. So I stoped answering their calls for good 2 months now..

Anyway. Stay strong and don’t look what others do, or look but do the exact opposite. Build your purpose around yourself and not your sis or mum. When the time comes they will thank you for that.

Extra-Strike2276 · 2021-06-19T21:56:42+00:00

I feel for ya there. I could go on and on about my sister's and my mom's reaction. While I basically went ignored for being independent from the bs they put out. My advice is focus on you, and stay away from their bs.

ActualSteveRogers · 2021-06-19T22:17:29+00:00

Only a very small percentage of people can make a full living on social media alone, and your family is probably not one of them.

Tiktok can be fun, but isn’t something that would pay the bills.

You’re on the right track. Exercising, and going to school for something good.

Upset_Schedule_6019 · 2021-06-19T23:34:47+00:00

Because while these two idiots are practicing TikTok dances or starting facebook drama or whatever,

These are the ones who empower and enrich the owners of those two platforms. Tiktok ceo resigns with $44 then gets shoved to us with the dumbass so what's you're excuse? quotes.

Like those who buy their celeb's signature product which cost peanuts to make 8n developing countries.

ChocChat · 2021-06-20T01:43:27+00:00

if you follow your heart and passions, you will never fail.
stay on your path which open doors and lead to exciting opportunities. It will pay off for you, just be patient.

Unforsaken_Dick · 2021-06-20T02:11:28+00:00

All the time man. When you stop following the herd mentality and start going your own path, you will feel a lot of resistance from society and everyone else around you. It's only natural. But at the end of the day, never let anyone tell you how to feel and how to think, just keep doing you man 👍

Story of my life, saying I told you so is also the story of my life

StratOmaticFanatic · 2021-06-20T05:46:31+00:00

Look son, if you want to be mainstream and follow what makes other people happy just because it looks easy then you can. That's not the way to happiness though. You need to do what you want, that's what's going to make you happy. Most importantly don't let anyone get in the way of you doing what you want, especially family. Those women will try and run your life and take everything they can from you. For your happiness don't let them. That is unless it's your goal to support and take care of these women in your life. If that's the case I pity you as you'll always feel these feelings your feeling now. The only way to change the way you feel is to stop caring what those women do, they're not your responsibility. Do what makes you happy and to hell with everyone else. What makes you happy? Answer that question and do that.

Nothing worthwhile in life is easy, nor should it be. Hard work is a virtue. Moral behavior has a tendency to be rewarded in a karmic/natural law kind of way. Women have no morals, it's all feelings with them. Look at your mother and sister, they have no original thoughts or desires. Everything they do is because they've seen or heard of someone else doing it, they're followers, no mind of their own. Mindlessly following others can lead to some very bad long term consequences.

Know thy self.

get a trade or a high earning job, get some money and cut them out of your life when you can move out

aad7990 · 2021-06-20T11:33:43+00:00

All of your hard work will pay off. Just remember that when they come to you for money later.

Paladin2903 · 2021-06-20T12:56:15+00:00

Every single day of my life, man. This world is ass backwards and upside down clown world. Left is right, up is down, wrong is right, and stone cold psychopathic criminals are cheered on. It’s a complete Idiocracy. I don’t even think most of these people know they exist.

The only people who succeed are those who think and act out of the box, when Bill gates founded Microsoft, no other company invested in software as a main product, most invested in computer hardware and now software is more valuable than hardware, when Jeff benzos started Amazon people didn't believe in e-commerce, when Elon musk started tesla, electric cars where fiction, same as space x, neuralink, starlink, Facebook, Google etc. Successful people chose and pave there own way to success, average people follow what's trending in the crowd, you on the right path, soon you will be successful and your sister will be coming to you for help, your success will speak for itself and you won't need any validation from anyone

It’s the IQ bell curve, retards out number smart people in the world, you will have a easier life then them when your older, they will continue making retarded decisions

Administrative_Tax26 · 2021-06-23T01:18:58+00:00

You ask yourself "Why should I?". You have answered your own question - you are NOT stupid, you are envisioning a better life for yourself and working. to achieve it. You are planning your path. If you became a useless "social media dweller" you would drown in self-hatred. F#$k the mainstream, you're better than that.

I assure you, you are not alone, nor are you the first generation to experience this. I graduated from high school in 1976 - I remember watching the "mainstream" kids smoking dope under the football field bleachers. I had no interest in that lifestyle. I got good grades, competed for and received a 4 year NROTC scholarship, was accepted by multiple universities and chose Northwestern, graduated with a BS in engineering and served a career in nuclear submarines.

I'm GLAD I got left out all the time. Tune out the bullshit, and keep working to make yourself better. You can do it.
