I've been on the red pill for a couple months now, have read all the sidebars as well as casually reading posts on the front pages and what not. However, the part where I start changing myself has proven to be harder than I anticipated, due to the fact that not only am I going through that lonely dissolving period but I'm also seeing less success in talking to women and even friends.

I feel like my feelings towards women have just made me feel more cynical and my feelings about my interactions with others have become a lot more uncertain because I'm trying new things and those things seem to just put me back. 2 steps forward 3 steps back type of feeling.

My question is, is this something a lot of you have experienced before truly reaping the benefits of the red pill ideology? I know the red pill is just guidelines and not rules to follow to the core but I still think most people go through a period of perceived "changing" before becoming changed, was that period hard for anyone that has experienced it? Really hungry and dehydrated so I hope I got this question across clearly to you all.
