I started reading Red Pill material when I was 18 but didn't swallow the red pill completely up until 6 months ago. Anger ensued for a couple of days but I realized anger would not fix anything, only my adaptability.

I've read a lot about confidence on all of the Red Pill subreddits and while I'm not on the level of most of the contributors here (it's my first post), I still wanted to share my thoughts and if it is not welcomed, then so be it.

I've noticed a trend on AskTRP, people asking about how to be confident and there's always someone in the comments saying "just be careful, you don't want to be arrogant" or "you don't want to become a narcissist".

Arrogance is good.

Would you fuck a bum? No? You're arrogant.

Do you think you can do better than your classmate/colleague? Yes? You're arrogant.

If you believe you can achieve something that has never been done before in your family, you are arrogant.

If you think you can put something in the world that has not existed before you, you are arrogant.

Yes, arrogance means thinking you're better than the people around you. According to the English Dictionary arrogance means "having an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance, merit, ability, etc."

I think here would be a good place to quote Illimitable Man:

...your typical narcissist does not deify themselves as infallible, indubitable or indissoluble, but rather, they see themselves as above average, superior. And if they earn more than most people, are smarter than most people, and are in better health than most people, is this not true?

Arrogance is good. Arrogance keeps your standards high. Arrogance keeps your goals and ambition high. Arrogance makes you NGAF.

Why I think uncofident men should try being arrogant

When I first started out self improving, one of the first things I wanted to "learn" was confidence. For someone who has never had confidence to begin with, it would be hard to even imagine what it's like to have one, so they could at least fake it.

It's easier to imagine being arrogant. It's just a really, really exaggerated opinion of oneself.

If we think of confidence as a spectrum, on the left side we have an omega man, in the middle we have confidence (the best place to be) and finally on the right side we have arrogance.

The middle way is always harder to find and to develop. It's easier to just go from one extreme to another, but that's exactly what I think unconfident people should do. Why?

Simply said, it's better to be an arrogant asshole than being a fucking omega. Yes some people will hate you, but you're gonna have that extreme self-confidence that will make you not give a fuck.

What I would suggest is to practice being arrogant and after you've felt what extreme confidence is you can tone it down. It's easier to tone down your confidence (spectrum analogy) than trying to find the middle way from the very beginning, when you don't even know what confidence is.

Most uncofident men's version of "arrogance" is still beta behavior compared to the confidence of most of the men here anyway.

Again, I'm just sharing my thoughts because I thought at least someone here would find them useful. If anyone has any critiques or would like to have a discussion, I welcome them wholeheartedly.

English is not my native language by the way, so if you find any mistakes or typos, just let me know and I'll have it fixed.
