Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Wow, great quote. Just two little problems with it: a) true, but that does not mean just because you keep on trying that you will ultimately succeed. b)it still does not tell us wether what one does is a good thing. Some of the worst things have been accomplished by keeping on trying. Maybe you are supposed to fail because what you do is simply weird narcissistic robot-like behavior.

Maybe change you approach?

Ueah that's what I was getting at. Not just keep on trying, but change.

For me I feel like after watching a bit of RSD stuff i feel a bit more pressure in interactions and more analytical afterwards
That's a problem a lot of guys have.
A lot of PUA coaching is a scam because it's guys who are naturally confident and good-looking teaching ugly dorks what they are doing. But confidence is a feeling - you either have it or not. And learning how to smile like a confident guy, or your hand gestures, or your lines, or any of that, isn't going to make you into a confident guy. It's going to make you into a robot. And like you said, a lot of guys get anxiety because it's way too much information for them to process, and now they feel like shit because they feel like they need to be getting laid all the time.
That's why, in my writings, I try to induce a fundamental change in WHO YOU ARE. Once you are confident, girls will come to you and you don't overthink every thing you say.
You can never leave "game" because you will always want to talk to girls. But if you feel like this stuff isn't helping you, don't use it. I think this is something every guy needs to figure out for themselves, and PUA guides and stuff are just reference materials - not a step by step guideline they should use.

thanks for the perspective, how would you use it as reference?

Go out, approach, learn your lessons on your own, and then compare it to what PUA guys wrote. You have to integrate the lessons into your own life.

I feel like 85% of RSD content is on personal growth and changing inner beliefs that lead to genuine confidence.

Even worse, PUA scams are mainly geeky ugly ass guys teaching even more socially retarded geeks stuff they already know but never use in real life. The reason PUA works is because the "students" will go from ZERO approaches in their entire life to 100 approaches, of course they will get some success even if its just 1 hit, so they think the $3000 bootcamp is worth it.

This exactly. You can walk away from the "pickup community", but you can never leave the game, because it's happening all day every day whether you like it or not.

Okay by game I meant pickup community my bad

I will just say a few things.
When you're trying to transform who you are, there's going to be a period of time where you're weird and unnatural.
It's up to you to decide whether game is adding or taking more from your life.
If you feel robotic, it's because you're not being yourself and present to the moment.
But probably the biggest piece of advice I can give you is to get off the damn computer. You sound like you're buried in theory. "Hey guys, I watched a 1000 videos from RSD and then I tried it and I don't feel so great at it yet and I feel weird. Also, this other video says PUA are weird. Just wanted to get feedback from Reddit now too."

I've had some success with girls but just not sure if I should continue doing this or not thanks for the perspective

Unpopular opinion: I have the feeling that most of the RSD material is not really designed to really help you pick up women. Yes, they throw some tips at you, but ultimately what you have is a bunch of attractive guys improvising about various topics. This is also why so much of their material is ridiculously inconsistent. Sometimes they basically tell you "be a caveman", sometimes they get all buddhist monk and tell you to "leave your self behind".
No one of us is going to learn seduction from videos, but from trying and failing seduction.
They're both true. Do both. Believe in both. Be water.

"Game is not something you do, Game is something you are." You may feel like a robot in the beginning, but after a while, it will become something part of your personality. With enough time, game will become something you are.
This is great I'm getting a lot of perspectives which is what I want. Currently I'm in a position where I get 1 or 2 make outs(which probably isn't that good) when ever I go out but I don't feel any connection with the person, like it feels fake I'm not if thats because of "game" but I don't want to get better
Sounds like you're having a lot of fun but not being yourself. Try doing day game and just chatting people up with no objective. One of my favorite things about learning game is being a more expressive version of myself that's the most "me" i've ever put out there.
