Competence breeds confidence. You want the smallest shred of the latter? Put in the effort to get good at something. That's why we advise lifting. Yes, it makes a body look good, but also doing the hard work to accomplish it builds confidence.

Humans are like a rpg character based on Maslow's chart.

At the bottom you have your base. Things that affect this is your race, The plastic you drink from your water and the processed foods you digest. When you go to sleep, if you use steroids etc.

Then we have things like are you suffering from a disease, are getting beat with a broomstick every day, read CNN. No? Ok lets continue upwards.

Every human is going to hang on to something and depending on how solid the foundation is also depends the outcome. On block 3 we have your ideology. What you identify yourself with.

Religion --> Family --> Nationalism --> Consumerism

You will hold on to anything you have and if the first three options are missing it might be something like thinking youre a future rapper, eSports gaymer, incel or simply buy a dog who you use as a emotional tampon.

Now we are on the field of experience. What have you done? What have you achieved? Watched that 60 minute bukkake video and are ostracised in school or are you a semi-successful real estate investor?

Which brings us to self actualization. Here we add up the sums and hence predict the future. Should we jump off a bridge or walk in the bank of america and tell a random employee to suck your dick in exchange for a promotion?

Here are two characters.

Name: Vladimir Kozlov

Traits: -97 points

Sleeps all day long +10

Is average height +0

Looks poor -5

Eats processed food only -20

Has construction job +8

Feels proud to be Russian +10

Status: The world would not notice if he disappeared away.

Plans: No plans. Mr Vladimir will be another statistic in a world where men are disposable.

Name: Raymond Gustaf

Traits: +10

Little sleep -10

Ostracised in school -50

Porn addiction -20

Goes to church every Sunday +10

Eats good food +10

Has saved money for the future and understands basic economics +50

Status: The future seems bright for Raymond despite his current situation.

Plans: Raymond wants to own a small business and have kids.

You have to mold yourself to be who you want to be. Make sure your diet dosent consist of ramen noodles and soy milk and get extraordinarily good at a craft. That can be whatever you enjoy. Business, sports, blacksmithing. Just make sure its legitimate and not pussy out. If it was easy everyone would do it. Or hit yourself in the head with a hammer for a confidence boost.

lift brah. looking better than 80% of other males will make you confident, i promise.

be talented at your hobbies. stop playing vidya, pick up an instrument, pick up a sport (BJJ, volleyball, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, it doesn't fucking matter)

dress & groom well.

have a decent job that you don't hate.

you could call these things "external confidence/validation" but it doesn't matter. do you think an olympic athlete goes up to perform unconfident or unsure of themselves? fuck no, they've done what they're competing in tens of thousands of times, they know everything like the back of their hand. they can channel their nerves into positive energy.

if you tick all these marks you will at the minimum be a 7/10 unless you are physically deformed or retarded.

the fact that you're on this sub should give you an ego boost knowing you're already ahead of the curve by recognizing what you need to fix.
