"You haven't really seemed yourself lately."

why aren't you trolling IRL with this?

just pretend you have no idea what they are talking about

say you've recently become a feminist

you should hear the answers i give to "do you workout?"

Adopting or abandoning a new philosophy is always stressful.

You're establishing your new frame, and the people around you are testing you to see if its permanent. Stay strong, hold frame, and before you know it, they'll all be used to the new you.

"I'm not myself. I'm better!"

Don't worry about it. Happens all the time - it is insecurity. These guys/girls are not bad people, they are fundamentally just sensing the changing dynamic, and realizing that perhaps you will change your perception of THEM because you are now trying to be a fitness god / womanizer / wealthy / drug n alcohol free / whatever your goal is.

They are not necessarily being crabs in the bucket - although if they are, you should know it and know to avoid them. Let's assume they aren't though, they are just subsconsciously expecting YOU to be different towards them, and they aren't sure how to deal with it. They don't like change, they liked knowing how everyone in their social group stood on the totem pole.

So I find it best to not talk a big game, just put their mind at ease and then go lift. I just say something like "I'm bored at work. I have all this energy, might as well go hard in the gym, otherwise I can't focus."

Or if they are good friends, just say you realized you weren't that happy, and now you're trying to be a happier person. Which is true. And most people who aren't bitter deep down can't help but notice and feel happy when in the presence of happy people.

My roommate's girlfriend told me "I've noticed you don't really take shit from anyone these days" as we were sitting around the other night. "I don't have the time for it" I replied.

This was about a month after I started reading TRP.

I just act like nothings changed, i'm just a better me that's all. Keep on keepin' on

You knew these people before and so now that you changed into a new man they sense the adjustment and wonder if they like the new you or not. Just keep it positive with them. Tell them you are awesome and the day is great or whatever shit you have to say to keep it light.

I would not recommend explaining yourself. I hope you are not coming across as negative to some of your critics. TRP is indeed a bitter pill to swallow and there is no shame in wallowing in that for a while. I had a manic attack and was almost hospitalized so no harm- just be aware of the RP stages which are the same as the stages of grief.

I just think one would hope the comments would be more along the lines of, 'wow, you have changed. Did you find Jesus or something?' rather than 'is everything OK.'

The reply should be obvious after you take TRP and (in most cases) make efforts to become more Alpha in this Beta culture:

"Everything is fucking GREAT! How about you?"

"Im doing quite well" and move on.

Sturmgeist781 · 2014-04-03T19:10:57+00:00

"what's happened to you, you don't seem yourself, is everything ok?"

Me: I haven't been myself lately, I'm even more awesome now than ever!

"Thank you for caring. It means a lot that my improvements make a difference."
