After swallowing trp does anyone else feel like most people are fake as fuck and don't benefit you at all?

Yes. You'll get over it though.

Try to focus on making your life fun, while still being productive. Even I go out for my grocery trips I talk top damn near everyone and we all have a good laugh.

I'm working on getting back into my hobbies and its great. What they do or say isn't important. what is important is how you choose to respond to it.

Sounds like you've taken the "rose colored glasses" off. I think I'm in the same boat, and it's been a bitch of a pill to swallow. Isn't it fucking hilarious how after you swallow the red pill, all the people who you thought were you're friends are all a bunch of fucking fakes? When you stop putting in the effort, you realize how much of a one-sided friendship it was all along. Would agree with some other commenters that it's the anger phase for sure lol.

Seriously, how the fuck does anyone on TRP have "true friendships" though?!? I feel like after swallowing the red pill, I am never able to let my guard down ever again. It's quite the shitty feeling. Even with a potential LTR you can't let your guard down, otherwise hypergamy will get the best of you.

Btw OP, I think it's in your best interest to keep around those that want to please and take care of you, but also keep your guard up with those. I've found the ones that consistently compliment you, are the very ones that are most envious of you, and will at a seconds notice drag you down (crabs in a barrel). Reward those that put time and effort into you, and neglect those that do not. You will find that more people will feed off of your approval and validation. This power has a double-edged sword, because you can never truly let your guard down.

I swear, all these people give Drake shit for the stuff he raps about, but that shit resonates with me 1000%. "Fuck a fake friend, where my real friends at"

What the fuck do you expect. unless you got LUCKY in life, like you did (rich dad?)
The only way to climb is by being a fake piece of shit.
No one gives a fuck about honesty & integrity anymore.
All the honest people who didn't get lucky are flipping burgers and are miserable as fuck to be friends with.

All the sexually successful people who didn't get lucky (having a good role model, to teach you to not overrate women, and to just FUCK them and forget the other bullshit people tell you about finding "the one") are stuck living fake lives just to get something.

The whole world is fake because that's the only way to survive for many many people. You can't even get a job anymore without being fake on some level. You're fake during the interview, you're fake when you're exaggerating your skills, you're fake when you're trying to befriend your boss & co-workers just to get promotions.

You are blessed with getting lucky, get the fuck over it.
You are putting yourself in a position to where there are people who are "ass kissing" you. Get the fuck over it.
No one is telling you that you have to like everyone, those people don't even have to be in your life, just stop meeting up with them it's that simple.

Part of cognitive behavioral therapies aimed at people in the autistic spectrum is designed to teach patients to confront the reality that manipulation (fakeness) is a basic fact of life.

I think being mad about this fact borders on being mad at the sky for being blue.

As is the case with all things TRP, no one here is offering you happiness or the answer to life, the universe and everything. You're simply being told to face the ground truth of your life.

TRP doesn't really cure anything. It just stops bleeding that'll drain the life right out of you if you don't deal with it.

You're going through an anger phase. It's a phase on the way to full actualization and adoption of the Red Pill.

The Red Pill isn't about "anger"...it's about acceptance.

Yah, I realized some "friends" were complete fucking douche bags...yah I had a go at one of them...but what did that get me?

A smarter way is to just cut them off. Let them wonder what's up while I go about my own projects and girls and work.

The problem with being a "people pleaser" is that you can never rest until you get some sort validation or closure.

But the Red Pill is about YOU accepting the outcomes, learning and moving on.

The Red Pill is about seeing actions and behaviours and then understanding motivations better.

If you understand your friends' motivations....you don't have to like it...but you'll then realize "oh...douchebags looking for something from me....hmmmm how do I play this to my own personal advantage?"

does anyone else feel like ~~most people are~~ my old beta self was fake as fuck and don't benefit you at all?

FTFY

You're starting to spot self-defeating beta behaviors in other people, and it's reminding you of your own cringey, unsavory choices in the past, which you've recently become aware of. This produces an immediate reaction of disgust. Note this more about the qualities that you like least about yourself, and less about anybody else's behavior. I was fake in the past, never honest about what I really wanted or felt, and I was constantly doing things which didn't benefit me at all.

Almost everybody has their social persona they wear just like you wear different clothes for different occasions. That's normal human behavior. It becomes disingenuous when there's no depth or nuance underneath it.

SpinPlates · 2017-03-21T01:02:48+00:00

Don't benefit you at all

Literally every girl I'm not fucking.

abdada · 2017-03-20T15:00:22+00:00

People see in others what they fear most in themselves.

I don't feel fake at all, TRP for 30+ years.

TheRedStoic · 2017-03-20T15:17:19+00:00

Yes plenty do.

Why, do you want to change that or are you fine with it?

Iguessthisismynameno · 2017-03-21T01:22:04+00:00

Yes. That's life, sadly.

re-enters anger phase Goddamnit

trpthroway123 · 2017-03-21T01:31:10+00:00

People either take advantage of others, are taken advantage of, or land in a situation where neither happens (because they won't let themselves be taken advantage of, and others won't let them take advantage).

Real friends are the ones that don't fit in those categories, and most people only have 1-3, 5 tops.

Don't be afraid to graciously take what others offer you. If people want to be your friend, want to do nice things, you gain nothing by telling them to fuck off. Avail yourself, make the connections, return the favor (even if it's not "fair" or "even"), and keep going.

Karacmore · 2017-03-21T01:53:55+00:00

Yupppppp

Tommy_407 · 2017-03-20T15:32:47+00:00

You just need time right now. You're on the way dude, to fully dissolving the pill, but it needs time.

Sort of like getting clean from heroin. The person's motivation and discipline are primary, but, certain things just need pure elapsed time to balance properly. No way around it.

Gettingaware · 2017-03-20T23:50:20+00:00

From here on out leave these people in the dust and not be so willing to give up the self esteem youre still working towards.

theres so much i could say but you should read this instead.

THE ULTIMATE SECRETS OF TOTAL SELF- CONFIDENCE

wont_tell_i_refuse · 2017-03-21T02:45:14+00:00

No.

But then again, I work at an all-male company, which is a decision I made after taking TRP.

Most of my face time with other people is in a male environment, where no one feels the need to adopt a fake persona to be attractive to women or considered politically correct.

It's 0% bullshit, when it's crunch time we work our asses off and when we're fucking around the banter is real.

Life's only as fake as you want it to be.

W_O_M_B_A_T · 2017-03-21T06:57:13+00:00

Even my dad who is very rich, told me at a young age friends are horrible.

If you're rich, then, yes they do tend to be. Mind you, some wealthy people are entitled without quite meaning to be, and so have somewhat unreasonable expectations of people's time, attention, and agreeableness. Then they blame the fact on the money card. No, other people are just busy and have their own lives.

Also, being wealthy lowers the social penalty of being an abrasive fucker. You can still get shit done and be successful in your life if you have some extra cash laying around. Doesn't mean people will like you personally. Again, some people blame that on their wealth.

Don't ever make the mistake of advertising your wealth. Women will treat you even worse than your so-called friends will.

Herdsengineers · 2017-03-21T15:10:27+00:00

There are people out there that are real and authentic. They are very few and far between, though. I currently have 2 in my life (it's a married couple).

You just have to keep your boundaries and let people's actions speak for them. Don't listen to their words.

How did you get to position where you're now?
