"Now", on my end, has become natural for me. It's not so much "The new thing of the century", but it's become second nature in my life; I am automatically maximizing all my moments without question.

I just got bumped up an extra 6 hours a week (38hrs), received recognition from my managers, and people have been talking about nominating me for employee of the month, just because I work 100x harder than I'm supposed to, for about 2 weeks already.

The girl that wanted to get me fired, now breezes by me, and flirts with me without me seeking it. I've weakened in terms of ignoring her, and now she's acting like a total brat bitch. I didn't pay attention; my job is 100x more important, and although I got a bit angry at her, I let it go and focused on my job. Emotionally, I feel as if I'm being taken advantage of, but it seems she knows how to manipulate, and instead of bitching and getting mad, I kinda have to suck it up.

Which brings me to this point right now:

I hate people.

Yes, I hate people.

I hate guys who get a lot of girls. I hate the guys who show up at clubs with 2-3 girls around them, having a good time. I hate guys who act like mean jerks; I hate people man.

Every time I see a guy with a hot girl, I want to kill the motherfucker, and I'll say it 100x over. I will kill the douchebag, no remorse at all. If it means getting my dick wet, I'll knock some dude out and make him look like a bitch.

Ok, let me rephrase that. If I know the guy, and he's not a typical piece of shit, I befriend him, but I'm good at reading auras and personas; If a girl's boyfriend at the moment is a real piece of shit tool fucktard who has a natural inclination to hurt and take advantage of others, I will ruin him without mercy.

The real world is cruel; no forgiveness; no mercy. You either kill, or be killed. It is what it is. What CAN BE, is a loving, caring world where everyone builds each other up, but then, you have shit people who come along and:

*"Aren't there to make friends"
*Hate on you for getting more recognition
*Play political games to get you killed.
*Take advantage of your kindness
*Steal what you worked hard for and leave you to die


Justice is dead people. Don't fight for good. There is no kindness. Better to get positive results than help another out; that person will end up killing you anyway.

Even with these PUA techniques, one wrong move, and a girl will shit on you. There are no second chances; once you're done, you're done.

Yet, other guys seem to have no problem getting EVERYTHING they want, without trouble. Fuck them, I'll knife them in the back if it gets me what I want. Why should they get everything easy? All these rich kids, or those badass delinquents; fuck them. They're scum; not worth any form of life.

Yeah, I'm angry. So what? I move forward, and what do I get? More fucking trouble, no reward.

Is it THAT FUCKING HARD to get pussy? It cant be. Is it THAT HARD to get social recognition? Do I have to kill someone, or perform some miracle in front of a crowd? Do I have to be a douchebag?

Right now, I might just hurt someone man. I'm tired of watching other unworthy pieces of shit get what I want. I'm tired of it.

It's one thing to SEE, KNOW, and BE AWARE of what it takes to succeed.

...it's another to actually BECOME successful.

You are scary.

Don't just feel sorry for yourself. Stop, listen carefully, and answer these questions properly:

You speak of these people you hate, some of which are very successful with girls. Let's consider these guys that you hated.

Now, is it possible that at some stage, some of these guys (there are billions in the world) felt similar to you?

Of course.

So they did something to get from where you are, to where they are.

Do you think complaining and feeling sorry for themselves got them to where they are?

Probably not, but, it may help to motivate and propel you forwards into making progress.

Can you think of something they might have done to get there?

Try it.

--

Now, if you want to make progress to get what you want, first you have to know what it is that you want. You might already know this.

Getting there is not one journey, it is a thousand small steps. Don't put yourself down - you may be making these steps. Sometimes you have to go backwards in order to go forwards. But how do you know if this is the case?

So, you want to take some small steps, you want to make PROGRESS. Right?

Answer this, now, how do you know when you've made some progress to getting what you want? Can you imagine a very simple situation where you have achieved this?

How does that feel?

Can you tell me one or two things you might have done in order to be in this situation?

Try it.

Your making yourself a victim, As long as you believe that you are a victim of society you will be a victim of society.
Just give up throw in the towel and be a victim if thats what you believe. You may be stuck in this mindset for a while and you'll prolly go deeper into and say "I dont give a flying f... but eventually you will see the destruction of what you have done and you will realize that your a victim bc you choose to be and the longer this goes on the more of a victim you will be...to yourself.

Yup you may not have been born into the greatest body, natural personality, place to live, schools, country, etc. but guess what most people arent born into the greatest place either.

Took time to cool down, and re-evaluate my frame.

...at the moment, I have ...no, fuck it. I've been losing my present frame of the moment for bullshit.

At the moment, I'm alright, but my "thoughts" are trying to fight back, and make me comfortable.

I need to break old habits, and I'm not breaking them; I am merely facilitating them, and holding onto a dead past.

I am trying to break out of the mediocre, but everything around me is trying to halt my progress. Family, "friends", moments, situations...all that was a product of what didn't work in the past want to destroy me now.

...I have no time. Gotta go to work.

Someone answer me this: Why is everyone, and everything, trying to kill and stop me in my tracks? Can you relate? Does the price of success include the "death" of those who do not wish to move forward with me?

I thought of some very useful things to say but it would take to long to write up.
So i will bullet point them.

1. You earn your money (Respect)
You are not a family member drawing a salary and doing fuck all.
Or some useless beaurocrat hiding in sheltered employment.
2. In the workplace you will always have a boss if you choose to work for a company etc.
You chief exec or ceo is the amog. (only at work)
Outside work in a bar or on the beach (your turf) your the MAN.
Your the amog. You have PUA skills, he has a rolex and a belly, takes women out for meals and gets a peck on the cheek. A total CHODE.
3. Society is designed to keep the rich ,rich and the rest of us under control.
Think of your boss or who ever pisses you of most, laughing right now because you are upset that life is not fair.
THINK LONG AND HARD HERE.

They have upset you, they have made you ANGRY, SO ANGRY YOU COULD............................?????

Damn it.

They have won.

Use this anger and agression and channel it into weight training or some other suitable exercise.

And besides, you are young which puts you at the bottom of the social ladder in the work place.
People will talk over you, or ignore you blah blah.

I have known a guy your age at work (21)

He goes on about RESPECT a lot.

Idiot.

Nobody over 30 will pay you an ounce of repsect unless you.

A. put up with certain shit, and don't complain.
B. Fast learn A.

Your FRAME as you call it will from time to time go to SHIT.

Anyway.

Enough.

When you next hit on a 10 (or 9) use the word MARVELOUS in general conversation.
About 2 or 3 times should be enough.
You may be surprised by the comment/comments you get back.
Say it in both AMERICAN and ENGLISH accents.

It will give you more DHV/Social Proof/being unique etc which is the PEAK or what PUA is all about.

If the Girl in question is american (obviously)
It is the best muliple thread starting word i know.
The NLP geeks love it.

Try it on a girl at work when she says good morning etc.

Reply MARVELOUS.

Smile

Walk off.

I am now off to watch Football world cup replay of ( AFC ENGLAND V RAFC USA )

Later.

Just so you guys know, I AM aware of the benefits of staying in the present, and framing everything as what it IS, in a POSITIVE light, but listen man...

I was bullied when I was younger. I'm not dwelling on it, but I'm stating it since it IS a fact of my life. I was bullied, I never had an actual girlfriend, I never fit into any group while growing up, and I spent 99% of my time alone, without anyone to talk to or have fun with. As a result, I grew up HATING PEOPLE with a passion.

And I still do.

I'm not "socially aware" of my surroundings, or any of that crap. I only know what I've learned so far; other than that, I am an animal. I don't give a fuck, I don't want any friends; I just want pussy, and money. Fuck everyone else man.

By myself, I am a fucking behemoth of a human being. 196 lbs of pure muscle, 6'0, demonically hard work ethic, extremely high ambition, 3x mature for my age, smarter than the fucking ancients, built like a gargantuan, always defying what others say about me, and always on the move to ascend and rule.

Yet, others try to get in my way, like fucking insects. Every guy I meet is a fucking immature jackass with no professional manner, appearance, or care in the world, and here they are fucking every stupid whore in sight. It sickens me; you expect me to believe that, in order to get girls, I have to become a mentally retarded ape? Fuck that shit man.

I can destroy any of these punk bitch guys without breaking a sweat. They're like little children; running around, destroying everything in their path, making fun of others like there's no tomorrow.

Then, the girls. All of them a collective pile of cheating sluts. Little fucking whores who only like guys who watch sports and make fun of other people. And the one rare girl who's good, either has a rich, spoiled boyfriend, or is butt ugly/fat/disabled.

All these guys with these awesome girls...simply do not deserve them. Any of you tell me why I should give a shit and respect others? No one ever respected me; I had to fight tooth and nail for everything; where's my girl? Where's my social life?

Why the fuck should I tolerate seeing others get what I want?

Bro, maybe the reason why your not getting any "Pussy" is because you have this hate for men and women that they subliminally pick up? Ever think of that. Look im not trying to preach to you here but the reason why your most likeley failing is because of your anger and hate towards other people and women especially. Look, I fucking know how it feels like to be left alone with no friends. It fucking sucks man. Right now im still at the point where id prefer to stay by myself at my house instead of going out with my buddys to party and drink. But its not like it used to be. As im developing myself more and more working on my inner game im also getting out of my house alot more often. If you turnt that hate for people into love things would definiteley change. Your mind has you by the balls though. So does mine.

The thing is that when we want something so bad that is out of our control(Girls) we usually push it away even farther. I know you probably know this since you seem pretty intelligent about the whole pick up scene. You need to become happy without having women. Then women will start entering your life. Seriously dude, check out the Power Of Now. Work on those negative thoughts and I give you a week before you start feeling pretty damn good about yourself. You kind of remind me of Jeffy from RSD. He went through the same shit as you kind of. He even said in one of his seminars that he hated women and went out on a rampage to fuck every woman he wanted without any remorse. He had so much hate for people and he had so much hate on himself. Yea, he was getting pussy even when he hated people but thats not the point because he was not happy with himself. Banging chicks is not gonna be the answer to your happiness. Neither is money nor cars. Happiness comes from within. With some work you will achieve this.

Work on your inner game. Go to barnes and noble buy some books do some work. Work on your shadow. I think that you will benefit the most from shadow work since you have alot of hate and anger inside of you. chcek out David Richos shit. Shadow dance. This book will change your life.

Good luck

No, YOU listen....to what you are saying:

I disagree, and believe that you are dwelling upon it, after observing your posts, but let's continue....

One of the first things I learned when starting this long road what that your mindset and body-language have to be congruent with what your are communicating. Otherwise, the person you are talking to will pick up that something is out-of-synch and start distrusting you. Ask yourself if the way you are being treated NOW might just be a reflection of what people have been picking up from your inner-self?

What does this have to do with anything?

Picturing some douchebag as a mentally retarded ape in my mind is actually pretty damn funny. Now that I think about it, I'll have to remember to reframe my mind and do that the next time some scrotum-breath bag-licker ticks me off. :lol:

Again, I don't think you've gotten over earlier mental stumbling blocks, but that's only my opinion, and I could be wrong.

Larry Winget has a good quote on personal responsibility: "Your parents owe you unconditional love, everybody else in the world doesn't owe you a damn thing." That's a little more blunt than I'd probably say it, but it gets the point across rather quickly. Not only do they not owe you anything, there's no guarantee that they'll play fair either. I found that out rather recently when my boss got ticked off at me, but since I was doing a good job, his only recourse to get me out of the company was to use the demerit system and find nit-picky stuff wrong with my job. After 3 months of this, he finally had enough ammunition to serve me my walking papers. Was I pissed? Hell yes. Was it fair? Hell no. But I got over it after a few days and moved on. Staying angry with the past leaves no room for happiness in the present.

Look dude, I've only been on this board a short time, and I've read a lot of your posts, and have walked away impressed after reading them most of the time. I'm hoping all this is just a rant after a really bad day. After all, every one of us has gotten pissed at the world, stuck both middle fingers in the air, and hollered at the world "Fuck YOU, fuck YOU, and, oh yeah, the little Asian lady giving me the evil-eye on the bus....FUCK YOU TOO!" If that's the case, fine. Go down to the local comedy club, have a beer, have a few good laughs, come home in a better mood, get a good night's sleep, start tomorrow with a fresh outlook. If not, then maybe pickup shouldn't be your primary focus right now. Maybe you need to take care of yourself and find some happiness in the world that you can accept. No, it's not all tulips and roses, but it's not all manure and rubbish bins either.

Rune, I know how you are feeling. "This world is screwed up. Nice buys get shits. Asshole get chicks. Even you have the know hows to get chicks, you strongly feel indignant to insult yourself to be at that stupid playing level to downgrade yourself."

I was bullied before in secondary school. I know how fuked up it feels. I once defended a guy from the bullying nonsense and some days later that guy turned against me with other assholes. To the kids who knows nothing it was so fun to bully and so shits to get bullied. It was so natural that kids learn how to bully others to avoid getting bullied. The paradox of oppression is that once the oppressed was lifted from the subjugation they quickly become the oppressors.

Do I regret for being a nice and good kid. No! I have my own moral standard to follow. I don't care if the world is doing the wrong things, it just doesn't make it right.

The question reminds me of a classical Chinese philosophical tragedy," How do morally upright people survive in a cruel world dominated by the evils and unscrupulous?" The wisdom of the ancients Chinese was simple:" Never habour the thought of harming others, always be on guard and conscious of possible threats approaching you."

A famous British statesman Edmund Burke once said for the interest of honest and descent people, we have to assume the evils of all men.

Assholes attract girls not because they are assholes. It is because they have standards and they make girls invest in them. You can be a perfect gentleman and descent, mature guy who has standards and knows how to make girls invest in you before you demonstrate your interest in them. Adam Lyons is a perfect example.

Don't think the environment is dictating you because it cannot. Only your own emotion is controlling you right now. Learn to master your emotions and let them work for you. stay positive. Have good strategy. Hatred and frustration are negative emotions you must get rid of.

Stay well!

Another day, another perspective.

My hatred was basically the same old, irrelevant hatred stuck with me from the past. I have found the root of it: Inactivity.

It is what it is
Now is now.

Yet, when I do NOTHING now, I gain NOTHING not NOW.

...I am good so far, and all is well again, yet I wonder...

The hell is wrong with me in my head?

Dude, I'm not gonna try and over-analyze this, and say something enlightening about the clash between your inner-child and your parent's upbringing, or id versus ego, or that you didn't get hugged enough as a child....bollocks on that. You can't change the past, so stop worrying about it (disclaimer: I'm having trouble with this myself!).

Even so, I like to call learned behavior that hinders you "mental barnacles". The only way to get rid of them is to slowly chip and grind them away. Thing is, we've got a whole lifetime of them to deal with, so don't expect a few weeks, or even months, of PUA training and "Power of Now" sermons to erase decades of piss-poor social behaviors. Expect some setbacks, and think of it as a "one step backward, two steps forward" event in your life. If that doesn't ring your bell, well....we could do it the old-fashioned way and I could just buy you a few pints at the local barhouse until you get so drunk that you won't remember your troubles the next day. :D
