CMV: The redpill suffers from Alexithymia.

reepbot · 2017-05-15T12:19:50+00:00

Are we seriously diagnosing movements now?

Alth12 · 2017-05-15T13:35:44+00:00

Really difficult to diagnose thousands of people without actually meeting them. Bit like me claiming you suffer mental retardation based solely on this post without ever actually meeting you.

Eastuss · 2017-05-15T12:43:26+00:00

The redpill itself or some of the users? So here are all the assumptions of your post:

His goal is to get success with women
He has no success with women
He has no success because of his social skills
His bad social skills originate from mental problem

You're ignoring all the terpies that have different goals, different range of success, different range of SMV problem, and different range of mental problem (or absence of mental problem).

The main problem of the average guy who comes to TRP is oneitis, falling in love deeply for little reasons. That's a real problem and sounds pretty incompatible with alexithymia.

ProbablyBelievesIt · 2017-05-15T13:34:11+00:00

Mainstream society and people like you suffer from special snowflakeism.

Difficulty identifying different types of feelings Limited understanding of what causes feelings Difficulty expressing feelings Difficulty recognizing facial cues in others

I have identified what I am feeling and am expressing disdain

YetAnotherCommenter · 2017-05-15T12:45:07+00:00

TRP generally attracts nerdy people, whom are disproportionately Aspergers or at least have Aspergers traits at subclinical thresholds.

So? Why is this a disease? Why is this bad? Its atypical, sure, but it hardly makes it impossible for them to live happily. Not to mention all the competencies and advantages found more often in nerdy/aspie type people than in normies.

Even IF (and thats a big IF just for this arguement) all, most, some, or just a few people that agree with red pill theories, none of the diagnoses you listed makes the theories any less accurate.

If trp says 'women are attracted to an alpha during ovulation and a more stable man other times', is that wrong just because the person that says it has trouble with emotions? What about saying that women rapidly change dating preferences as they age past 30? Or not to give women a free pass on shitty behavior just because you want to fuck her? Of course not. Let the arguements stand or fall on their own.

Dont attack the person because you dont like what they claim. Trp is a set of observations that can be used to make your sexual life better. It has nothing to do with the emotions of the followers.

Another lazy attempt by a BPiller to try and categorize and hate RPillers while hiding their judgment behind psychology. The reality is many women who think all RP guys are autistic, misogynistic, <random negative thing> have probably slept with someone with a Red Pill mindset at some point in their lives.

TheGreatDivision · 2017-05-15T12:58:10+00:00

Red Pill Theory as a whole feels very autistic to me. It tries to attribute a clear cause to everything, even if there isn't, and tries to understand the entire world in simple "do X -> get Y" models. They hate uncertainty. They love patterns. Learning to read emotions is instead replaced with learning to talk your routine, to the point that "if she does X, you do Y". So yeah, fits right in with what you describe.

theiamsamurai · 2017-05-15T16:15:10+00:00

You're trying to make one size fit all. I thought BP was all like "people are unique, and don't follow patterns, you can't just group people into stereotypes, because they're too complex"

[deleted] · 2017-05-15T16:24:19+00:00

you are seriously claiming anyone that has RP next to their flair has an issue identifying emotions in themselves??

sunkindonut149 · 2017-05-15T13:52:22+00:00

I actually have alexithymia as part of autism and most of us are scared af because we can't read emotional cues.

Tbh this doesn't make much sense to me. Some of the users have problems bless but they don't have EVERY one of those problems. Every one is at a different stage in recognizing and resolving their problems. Some you prob never hear from and of the ones that you do some are just venting. You make it sound like it's a giant clock all going in one direction and that doesn't even make sense. I know they like to say "you aren't special" "we are all the same conpost heap" but everyon is an individual and approaching ppl that way works pretty well.

People learning something new don't already know thing they are learning.

Thanks coach, keepemcoming

DSM is hogwash. It's literally designed so that everyone has something. Psychiatry wants to push expensive meds and treatments on people.

gasparddelanuit · 2017-05-15T16:00:32+00:00

The redpill suffers from Alexithymia.

No, that's just you projecting and finding it difficult to reconcile people having a starkly different perspective to yourself, with them not having a pathological condition.

If anything, it says more about you and a solipsistic faith in your own position more commonly seen in women.

Clearly, having all sorts of different emotional feelings and being aware of the human rationalizations behind them, is not incompatible with wanting to and succeeding in deconstructing the underlying motivations behind them. In acquiring knowledge to maximize one’s decisions and actions in the sexual market place, the process of the RP is not to stop at emotional feelings and human rationalizations, as occurs in the BP world, but to go beyond that and look at underlying causes that better predict human behaviour.

It’s about having more knowledge, not about having stunted feelings.

Hypersensitive to physical sensations

I have that one. I'm just hypersensitive in general. It's pretty cool when I can see in the dark and hear a pin drop in my neighbors house, but it sucks when my own wife can't even touch my stomach.

Detached or tentative connection to others

I'm like that as well. Even my closest of friendships only lasted a few years. I'm still describable as kind and considerate, I just don't relate to people.

That's just sensitivity and idiosyncrasy though. The rest of your diagnosis doesn't apply to me and even if it did, the rest of TRP isn't like me.

disposable_pants · 2017-05-15T19:50:48+00:00

You're not a doctor. Doctors don't diagnose people without examining them in person. This is a shitpost.

despisedlove2 · 2017-05-15T20:13:55+00:00

Given that RP men are largely formerly successful BP men, and your listed conditions are inherent to the personality, if not genetics, you are unfortunately also saying the same thing about BP men.

brewmastermonk · 2017-05-15T21:14:10+00:00

Feelings are for fags.

breakfasttopiates · 2017-05-15T22:00:20+00:00

This is baseless and sounds more like autism. As much as the left might hate it autism is not specific to the right or redpill at all.

badnews4u · 2017-05-16T13:48:29+00:00

counter their points or stfu and fall in line

shiplightsshine · 2017-05-16T14:55:12+00:00

Like others in this thread, I don't think you should diagnose them with a mental condition. Red Pillers deny the legitimacy of women's emotions, while trying to suppress their own. It's an ideology. They have some kind of 'Survival of the Stoics' thing going on. Because it's not like emotions evolved to help us survive or anything.

when people tell me BPers aren't the most toxic community on this subreddit.
