I've gotten pretty confident now and practicing the essentials of tRP bit by bit (working on myself first and foremost, keeping busy towards career and social goals, gym diet and NoFap, abundance mentality, amused mastery (love that one) and dealing with shit tests etc.). I've noticed an immense amount of changes already, ones that happen naturally to your personality and changes in people's attitudes towards me. Can't thank you guys enough for keeping the knowledge in this sub alive. It's literally our only haven right now in a dark dark world.

However, the crack that still slips some of my old Nice Guy self is my voice delivery. I'd say I'm fairly over-analytical, tried controlling it over the years as it's a pretty counterproductive and feminine trait. I don't want to sound cocky but I typically consider every piece of art (stand-up comedy, text, music) "brilliant" or "genius" and exaggerate because I can sometimes see details others usually miss. My newfound confidence over the past month or so has diminished it considerably in terms of trying not to explain myself too often (still need to work on that).

But whenever there's a debate of a mental/philosophical kind, I start getting very excited about my thoughts, talk too fast, and have less control in general. That fascinated by art part comes out and it's emasculating to an extent. I can see it in their eyes how it's weird seeing the cold controlled buff guy turn into an excited talkative teenager when explaining something serious like politics or art.

TL;DR Can you recommend mental exercises or techniques that helped you keep a calm controlled attitude in heated conversations?
