I am taking the time to reflect on the events that have occured since discovering pick-up. I have learned a lot and am developing into the confident male I have always wanted to be, but was never quite sure how to become. At the same time, I have failed to take a step back and help other people get where they want to go and live the life they want. As I began to develop my social skills, I have neglected being an involved brother, son, and on select days, a friend. I just wanted to write this because today a friend called me on being self-centered. I was taken aback and realized that keeping my priorities straight is going to relieve a lot of stess from my life, thus helping me exude comfortability. But don't even look at the pick-up aspect, remind yourself of the day you wrote down your goals on a piece of paper and ask how you are going to close the gap and where you went astray. But don't take it from me, "Keep on Livin' your life. Ayy, Ayy, Ayy!"

I have a feeling that you are no where near being self-centered. I have a feeling that all your life you have been overly generous with your time and energy and the people in your life have gotten used to you going out of your way to take pressure off of their lives and put it on your own. Suddenly when you start taking a little time for yourself to improve your own life, they get mad because that means your not taking the pressure off of them anymore.

I could be completely wrong about you, but I remember when I first started it took a long time for the people in my life to adjust. They weren't used to me not being available at certain hours or days. I think deep down they were threatened because I was changing and becoming a stronger person and people hate change. But eventually they got used to the new me, and they found a new balance to their lives. That's what it is all about in this world, balance. You can be a brother, son, friend, and pua; but only you can find the balance for it.

p.s. By the way, once you get enough knowledge and experience in pu, you won't have to devote as much time to it anymore. It will become a natural act that you can do whenever want.
