Bulletpoint TLDR:

People with a scarcity mentality tend to exhibit:

  • An exudence of desperation resulting in the pursuit of social dead-ends. Chase women.

  • They cannot hold frame.

  • Spend a lot of their time living mentally in the past. Going over and over things they cannot change.

  • Have profound regrets which shake their confidence.

  • Are averse to taking risks, they hold themselves back. Low T.

  • Do not believe in their ability to succeed which presents itself as reticence, procrastination and a lack of confidence.

  • Fear rejection from people.

  • Require external validation from the group to feel content, they’re insecure and lean on others.

  • Ultimately perceive themselves and the world around them as lacking where it matters, happiness and opportunity.

People with an abundance mentality tend to exhibit:

  • Nonchalance and indifference, sometimes they’re arrogant, typically uncaring of small matters. Replace women.

  • They hold frame well under pressure.

  • Spend a lot of their time living mentally in the future, only coming into the present for breaks.

  • Have profound ambitions which fan the flames of confidence and acts as motivation for action.

  • Tend to be adrenaline junkies who get off on high risk, dangerous behaviour. High T. Are obsessively bold about succeeding.

  • Expect rejection from people.

  • Validate themselves through their self-improvement, as long as they keep momentum they’re secure with themselves. Self-reliant.

  • Ultimately perceive the world around them as rigorous, but conquerable.
