nice post. I've been meaning to try meditating. Physical fitness I'm pretty good. My dad makes me wake up at 6 and swim and box with him until 10 AM or so and I exercise routinely throughout the day.
I need to get over being self conscious of my looks though. I'm a cute kid but I always feel like that in enough.
[–]Immune2DNP[S] 8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
One of the most important aspects regarding self consciousness is perception of self. If you see yourself as someone who is good looking, genuinely work towards it, and just fucking try (haircut, clean up face, lift, fitted clothes), others will as well. You will begin to carry yourself with the confidence you develop from doing those things; at first you will feel like an impostor, because all you have known your whole life is lacking confidence, being self conscious, and caring what other people think. Eventually, you will see yourself as the person you have been striving to become, and you will have already arrived.

I see. Yeah i need to work on that. I know I'm good looking and I take care of my appearance but I just feel like it's not enough. Really hurts sometimes. I think I need to adopt a IDGAF style of thinking.

Sounds to me like you recognize the problem youre just not saying "fuck it" and taking action. If you're that miserable then how could it hurt to throw your life at the opportunity to become better

My life's fine mostly just a little trouble with self image and self esteem.

First of all I want to thank you for this post, it was so nice to read. One day (maybe in a few months) I might be making my own. Last year I was in a relationship and I used to be the guy who never went out, played a lot of videogames and watched series non stop. After my breakup, my colleague couldn't see me suffer anymore and told me about TRP. I used to be the biggest blue pill nice guy you've ever seen. In the beginning I felt bad after reading all the stuff that TRP teaches you. I went through a rollercoaster of feelings and even started reading anti-TRP articles (cringe, cringe, cringe ...). In the end I started accepting it (luckily). After I started reading TRP, the doors slammed open for me. At first, I didn't have the urge to play videogames/watch series anymore. This was a big thing for me because I used to put a lot of time into those two things. After that I started lifting, watching a lot of youtube video's (RSDMax, how to beast, etc) and started going out again. I felt my testosterone reaching levels I never thought were possible. Now I got my own personal trainer and started trading on Forex to bigger my income. I cannot tell you guys how important lifting is, it makes you feel like a man. Before all of this I used to be such a pussy, I even cried next to my mom from time to time. Anyway After all of this I just want to thank everyone on this subreddit, especially my colleague for learning me how to be a man. So you soon, Peace!

What's up with this sub and smoking weed? It doesn't make everyone a piece of shit. Genuinely asking
[–]iwasbornred39 points40 points41 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
a lot of people overdo it, same as any other drug
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah I guess I can see that. I've definitely overdone it before
[–]Ghostsandthoughts14 points15 points16 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
There’s nothing wrong with it but as someone who is trying to quit I can tell you that if you abuse it like I did it will make you stagnant and complacent with your place in life. I’m one of those people who should smoke once every 2 months because I forget it’s an experience and not a lifestyle. It literally clouds your judgement when it’s an all the time thing but everyone knows their limits with these things so do you homie. Some people could benefit from smoking more in my opinion
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah honestly since i made my first post I've kinda realized how weed used to dominate and control my life and was not beneficial.
I've since worked it under control to just be a late at night with nothing else to do kinda thing.
[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
The shit makes you complacent. This runs counter to a culture of self improvement and building power.
If you abuse the stuff you're wasting your life.
If you do it once a month or something to relax...alright. But there are better ways to relax...like fucking pussy.
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Everyone's different. It doesn't make me complacent

"I can stop any time I want."
Yep and I have. Many times.
[–]McRoddy4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I don't care what anybody says, smoking weed makes you a fucking loser (unless you smoke 1-3 times a week). Even the sleep argument is shit because if you use weed to fall asleep you lack the ability to do so naturally.
Edit - I'm a ex-stoner who has cut down significantly on my consumption.
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Haha I'm sorry it made you feel that way man
[–]McRoddy2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
The funny part is I didn't even realize until afterwards. When I cut the kush out I was 4 times as productive and got more shit done throughout the day. I still fucking love weed but going to sleep feeling accomplished is more important to me.
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah the more I smoke and do drugs in general for that matter I realize their downsides. I'm still personally not willing to cut them all out.
[–]Immune2DNP[S] 5 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It doesn't make people a piece of shit, but consistently smoking weed (not once in a while with the boys, or a girl, or for spiritual purposes), when it becomes a "habit" or "hobby", will make you comfortable with things you otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with. I had skin issues, ED, and questionable hormones. Instead of confronting them, I smoked and watched Twitch streamers, and I was okay with this, because it wasn't really me, it was me when I was high.
It's when you realize you have issues sober and don't use drugs or drink that you can start to move in the right direction. I continued lifting, cleaned up my diet, started an acne med (skin has gotten so much better), dick started working much better, but isn't fully there (haven't watched porn in 3 months, NoFap is alright if you're addicted), got blood work done (HIGH testosterone!). I would've never done this if I kept smoking weed because I would mask the symptoms with weed. It has its uses, but not on a consistent basis.
[–]assholeofthesky -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah mate, you were just seeing your life as pointless. I still smoke weed but you have to force yourself to take care of yourself, the only person responsible for you is you
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Personally I think all drugs are kind of gross and unhealthy. Even vaping. Fuck drugs
[–]DJ_Bean_Flickr 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Drugs are not completely unhealthy when used right. The problem is nobody used them right
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. They Aren't for me. I rather just eatsomething tasty. Drugs and even drinking aren't really my jam. I'd rather go for a swim or a boxing round than get blackout drunk or smoke weed.
[–]zyqkvx0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Now you just got to figure out how to make your face look shiny in bars so drunk chics feel comfortable around you. Not sure if I'm kidding or not.
Lol drunk chicks are probably comfy around everyone
[–]jamaicanmecrzy0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It can definitely take over your life. It can be extremely negative for one when that happens. Ive been what i call “micro dosing” haha which instead of ripping a whole bowl and trying to go out or do something i only take 1 hit. 1 hit. Maybe take a couple more hits throughout the day but only one hit at a time. Takes the edge off and relaxes without turning you into a baked potato. Even then i make sure most of my shit is done before i smoke. Being high 24/7 will fuck u up
Agreed. That's how I typically roll. No smoke until I'm chillin on the couch for night before bed.

It’s not that people hate the drug (some do I guess), people hate how it’s taken over their life and how they’d waste sooo much time with/on it I think they abuse it like any other illegal substance
[–]1Ill_Will70 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
its very helpful after working out and using the munchies to ur benefit. im a scrawny guy trying to gain muscle and weight. But if your baked all the time and its how u normally function, it will work against u.

Have you stopped video games yet? If so, how has things changed in your life?
Also, can you elaborate more on the meditating?
[–]bot2561 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This post gave me a boner of male pride, keep it up mate. Also, I think you'll do fine at cold approach considering all the improvements you've already made on yourself.

Glad to see another success story compadre, keep up the good work. I wish you all the best, keep at it
[–]ratthing0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Excellent post. Your TL; DR could be "Red pill is journey, not a destination. "
[–]mishasam890 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Aside from the physical appearance and attitude, how do they know that you're a high value guy?
What do you tell them?
[–]Hottosmart0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Same game can be playedby females. TRP is not just for men.
I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but mainly women with low self esteem and low quality will give sexual favors so easily in the beginning. TRP works mainly on lowself esteem.
Very inspiring. Thanks for posting this!
