You know its hard for me what you are saying, cause as a human being I think I have a natural tendency towards avoiding pain.
I have never learned my lesson faster than when it envolved physical pain as a consecuence.
With emotional pain I have a different approach; I dont seem to learn that fast. Almost as if I were a masochist.
Not so long ago Ive watched a tyler durden video about stopping putting your fake self in the interactions you have in your life, women, coworkers, family, etc.
In order to take hits by being the real you, and thats tough. I have used a mask for so long, that its hard for me not to when Im with strangers. Its part of my usual interaction not to show the real me, so if I take any hits it wont damage nor hurt the real me.
If you know any shortcuts towards achieving that goal please share, couse Im having a hard time putting my real self out there in the field, but Im willing to do.
1) I wanted to say that we don't look to make our journey painful. Just the opposite we want to enjoy our journey as much as possible. We want to make it a FUN ride. That way we will be encouraged to continue.
I was saying that if you are really trying with everything you've got.
100% of all your efforts to make as much progress as fast as possible. Then you will experience unpleasant parts to your journey. It's inevitable.
If everything is always nice, sweet with a cherry on top, you aren't trying hard enough.
2) That's a deep insight! I believe that a big reason why it's difficult for you to express the REAL you to girls is because you're still concerned what other people think of you. A powerful way to get over that is to get blown out from sets on purpose. Then you will the integrate the attitude "I Don't Give a Shit What Others Think" into your personality. And that's a very attractive attitude to have because it shows you're not needy.
