Monkmode?

The problem with Monkmode is that it is a cope.

Shutting yourself off the world in the name of masturbatory improvement is just an excuse, it's the "all theory but no practice" approach, a comfortable lie basically. What people need to understand is that you can actually work on yourself AND enjoy social interactions, banging chicks, meeting new friends.

The real approach to self improvement is to read something, close to book, and then go out and apply it in the real world. If you're asking for "just 1 more information source to research", you're not doing it right.

Nah, I feel like it cuts you off too much and you don’t really take action too much while doing it. Self improvement can be done just as well without it

Its good, don't do it for too long you also need to make memories as well

Only go monk mode if you have a specific objective and timeframe for it.

Anything else is just climbing back inside the womb 😂

Go monk mode till you feel like the world is your playground. Till you want to kill people that such. Till girls see you coming from 100 feet away and give you the fuck now eyes. Till you truly don’t give a single flying fuck. Till your friends don’t know what happened to you. Till you find a young hot woman that wants you to get her pregnant. Then never stop getting her pregnant and raise the children to kick the worlds ass and die a happy satisfied life and have your family throw a sack of bones in the hole with tears in their eyes

Tried it. As an extravert I almost lost myself. Never again but I can see why it benefits some people

Some people, like me, are naturally like monks. I'm an INFP, that's how I roll. Some people aren't.

I think there is something to be said for disconnecting for awhile and focusing solely on yourself, especially if you really, really need to. I view it like a hospital visit.

It would probably drain out extroverts, though. They need to socialize to recharge.

Cheers
