1 year ago I was still going out regularly with my beta friends. Smoking, drinking and wasting time was part of the routine then.

I wasn't following my real desires at all. I didn't control life. I was controlled by it and its external sources.

Deep inside I wanted to start gaming women, but my friends always kept me back on that. I was completely attached to them and my success was completely dependent on them.

I then found out TRP and after reading stuff every day I was actually ditching all my "friends". Do I regret it? Honestly, no. I never knew myself this much before. Spending time alone made me get to know so much stuff about myself I would never realize in the presence of other people in my life.

I've always been an introvert (INTJ-A) and most things that entertain average people, don't entertain me. This made it hard for me to form social connections with other people (And no, I'm not a social autist by saying I'm an introvert. I can easily start conversations with random people).

Of course, there are some people who are successfull and ambitious, but it's hard to find them here in the small city I live in.

I've been lifting for 4-5 years, learned many skills etc. and people both admire and hate me. Now that I'm ditching my friends, they hate me rather than admire me.. I guess that's normal though.

When I found TRP I got used with the concept of "Be selfish. You are the only one who matters". After a few months I realised there was another concept (or lifestyle) being advertised on TRP, and that was the machiavellian one, thus, fake your behavior and try to influence/get as many "friends" as possible.

I've never ever been so excited about being machiavellian with people 24/7, cause that just didn't seem to match with my introversion (I know personality can change, and I definitely changed it in the last years, but the core itself takes years to change). I sometimes manage to switch from introvert to completely social and it happens exclusively when I'm traveling abroad.

So I ended up being a lone wolf. Literally. I have almost no friends nowadays. I'm still in High School and plan on moving next year, and will definitely try to employ the machiavellian lifestlye in a bigger city.

To be honest, being alone has been crucial for me. I realised that when I had one-itis or felt depression due to women, it was because I didn't know what it meant to be alone, neither did I knew myself. I didn't know what I wanted out of life. As I said in the beginning, I was reacting at life. I wasn't really mindful about where I was going. But once I started being alone and more alone, I got more in contact with my inner self. It's really hard to explain how it feels.

I guess that's also why "Being on a mission" is another important aspect of the TRP man. To me, it means having goals and moving towards them daily. It means having vision and being the center of your life.

Prior to TRP, I was joining in people's/women's life. Now, it's becoming the opposite. If they want to join my life, great, otherwise I still have my mission. It took me a year to have this shift.

Now, I'm wondering, how many of you here became lone wolves? Is it normal to end up lonely when employing TRP's theories or did something go wrong in the process of my transformation?
