What is the best way to have a great confident mindset that leads to good social skills?
I want to change that inner voice in my head to be confident and strong, telling me I'm good with women and stuff. However I also see a lot of stuff saying to keep the ego down, as a big ego is detrimental to game and rejection.
How do I have a strong confident voice telling me I'm good, without becoming arrogant and having and ego?
Also how do you do affirmations properly? I saw something that if you say 'I am confident' when you're not really, it can programme the subconscious negatively?
This sounds like rubbish, is it? How do I do them right?

Hang out with people who stroke your ego. A lot of times guys mess around and say stupid stuff but you know they don't mean it. If you ever think someone is being unfair to you attack it. Don't get mad but don't take that. Fire back because part of it is the feeling and the things people say matter. And of course you should be a supportive person too.
