Suceeding in life but still empty inside?

You lack passion, a strong sense of purpose and drive. The way you word your background it seems you allow external things to make you happy. It’s internal validation I think that you need. To many people you are rich. Especially for your age.

You have reaped the awards of being strongly focused and committed to your goals, but now you seem stagnant and don’t have much to pursuit. Men unlike women don’t make happiness the goal. That does not work for man. He finds happiness in the pursuit of happiness, and it seems you lack that as of now.

On the surface it seems as if you are living the life, but inside I think you still have some subtle red pill rage. I come to this conclusion because you mention your ex, who basically played mommy for you when you needed comfort and “love.” The Red Pill lifestyle does not seem to give you any happiness, as you know it’s hard work. The past life you had when you were “plugged” was more comfortable.

I suggest you read Mastery by Robert Greene. It may help you discover a strong sense of purpose and drive. You need a mission and you need ambition which I feel as if you lack as you’ve become stagnant in a way.

TL;DR. You probably lack a strong sense of purpose. Happiness for a man is in the PURSUIT of happiness. Cleanse any undercover red pill rage. Read Mastery by Robert Greene to help you discover parts about yourself and your mission. Reach Self-Actualisation.

Hope this helps!

Most of the guys here will tell you that lifting and pumping chicks is the key.

It actually is not.

Downvote now or go on, this piece can actually help you or someone else.

Caring for yourself is key, caring for your body is important, but just part of a bigger mechanism.

You need to embrace something that gives you satisfaction, not necessarily a woman.

You may not know it yet, what i suggest to you is getting out as much as possible, know people, meet new social circles, say yes to new activities.

As of me for example, i am 35. At 20 i would never even think about the chance of growing passionate about cooking.

Started doing it for fun at around 25 and now is a cool side job that i like and something that i really enjoy doing, money involved or not.

This is one of the things that can full up your day with satisfaction. Works for me, something else may work for you.

Having a girl, going on a vacation together, seeing new places with someone close, is something really cool in a decent relationship, but believe me, you can find the same feeling with someone else, a friend, a stranger, or even with just you and only yourself.

Don't find happiness in others, look inside, find your true self, accept yourself and breath new experiences with arms wide open.

There's no time to feel blue and empty, go get that life.

Remember, you are not an empty shell, you just need to open yourself up and see what treasure really is inside.

I promise you there is one.

Prince has a great answer but i would like to also attack a different angle of your problem. You’re 20. Literally at the height of emotional turmoil for a man/boy. Your brain is developing still and you and all your friends change at will. It’s an exciting time in your life, but you also hit hard emotional points that you almost can’t explain. You’re just emotionally unstable. And i don’t mean YOU are. I mean 20 year olds are, i was a high octane train wreck at 20. One minute regretting breaking up with my sweet high school sweet heart while the next banging the hot president of a sorority. Puberty is almost in a way still happening. Just not in the way you think of high school puberty. Sounds like you have already made some serious strides in life and are on the right path, not being happy every once in a while or doubting your life choices is a normal part of growing up. Your highs are high and your lows will be low. My only real advise to you is don’t ever use drugs to escape your very temporary mood/attitude shift (i don’t mean smoking a bowl once in a while or drinking on a Saturday night but the dark stuff) and keep improving yourself. You’ll grow out of the funk, and probably quicker than you’d ever think. I hit your moment really hard at 19 between first and second semester in college, living the life over the summer staying at college for a Bull shit class so i could party after dumping my nice little high school girlfriend (who was going to follow me to college that year but ended up going somewhere else) and when sophmore year started i literally snapped out of it and i was fine again minus a few more small 20 year old moments. Basically it’s normal, keep trucking on brother. You’ll be okay.

I have access to unlimited booze and weed

Wtf, how can that be true?

Happiness doesn't come from achieving goals or your life situation. They make you happy for a short period only. You can achieve your wildest dreams but you will still only be happy for a little bit until you adjust to your new life. If you have the mindset, I will be happy if I achcieve x, y and z. You are just training yourself to put happiness off until certain requirements are met. So when you achieve x,y and z you will start looking for the next set of requirements to make you happy. Sure you will achieve alot, but happiness is not included.

Listen to 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. He clarified things that I have always know deep inside but could never articulate.

YouTube has the full audiobook. It might just be the answer you seek. I know it has made me a lot happier and joyful. I am nowhere near the success you have. I was near bankruptcy just a while back in fact. But I feel lighter, happier, more present and more in power.

When I was beta and with my last ex I would go to sleep with her in my arms and just feel content with life

Happy in your delusion. Many men enjoy this, I certainly did. "Yay, got a girl, life is complete". I'm glad I snapped out of it before life bitchslapped me with a harsh divorceraping.

ed. Any insight other RP fellas can give me to get me back on track would be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah... this is about reevaluating your life goals and objectives. And it takes time before you work out what you want again.

Unrelated but what is your occupation?

pridebrah · 2018-04-12T17:06:15+00:00

Some good replies already in this thread, but I'd also suggest using some of that money to take some time off and travel. Go to some places around the world and you'll be surprised at how your mind expands and inspiration can hit. Meet new people, see new things, experience different environments.

Well guess what - trp is primarily about sexual selection yes, because that's why most people get into it - but there is more to it than "loool fuck chicks yee" - that's only completing the first chapter

So like everyone said - goals complete, acquire new ones that satisfy you, be a human terminator, do whatever you want, not only what people on the internet tell you to - another idea that is taught here is that you should always do things independently - if you blindly follow every single thing posted here, you'd certainly fail, not only because there is sometimes contradictory opinions (important: OPINIONS), but because there is no rule that applies to everyone (1st lesson in sociology, but i believe there is, but the equations and numbers are probably retarded)

tl:dr unironically bee urself - since you have completed trp part 1, you can actually do that, unlike some bluepiller, because you have achieved self-actualization

That emptiness is a longing for your Creator. Worship Him alone (not Jesus, he’s not God) and not your career, women, money, etc. Man was made to worship something, just direct it towards Him who created you.

You guys are a bunch of beta pussies pretending that women are some problem that needs to be dissected and eradicated.

Sure a woman likes an aloof, fit mate. But how can you pretend women are only here to procreate. I’d like to actually debate this issue! So feel free to reply
