Just a reminder,

The title of this thread is "I am this. I am that." - the inference, based on the attached article, is that those who have a habit for this have less power & less status. Based on our discussions here and from other threads, we have come to a conclusion that those with these habits suffer from a wide gap between high self esteem and low abilities.
Just a reminder too. Pennebaker's article refers to habits or regular actions done over a significant period of time as manifested through writing.

What I can say is that after reading several SA911 posts in my short stay around here, his habits that I have observed are:
  • 1. He is helpful.

    2. He is polite.

    3. He provides insights that make sense.
Meanwhile, this is what I observed on your few posts that I've read around here.
  • 1. You are too eager to debate.

    2. You pepper your posts with highly emotional words.

    3. You want to show to us that you're superior to everyone else.

    4. Sometimes, your analysis is misplaced.
I have yet to read majority of your posts though to say for sure that your argumentative brand of posts is your habit online and in real life. Generally, I stay away from argumentative people since time spent with these types are usually wasted and the interaction is counter-productive to my goals. :twisted:

Yes. That's a very sharp observation. The stress of real life can and do spill over to these forums. We can tell who is stressed out most of the time versus those who are happy and laid back most of the time. There's this study on alpha male gorillas that the lesser stressed gorilla gets laid more than the highly stressed one. It can be due to oxytocin release during sex and after orgasm to counteract the high levels of testosterone. :twisted:

Consider this simple flowchart:

1. "I am this. I am that." - Think of your real life experience with those who do this. Think of the articles posted here. Think of the members here who do this on a regular basis and consider their experiences with others. If you think that "I am this. I am that" is a healthy practice and can help your progress your life, Stop here. Otherwise, read on.

"I am this. I am that" - is most often done by those who suffer from an imbalance of high self esteem + low actual abilities. The problem with continuing to exercise "I am this. I am that" is that it widens the gap between 'high self esteem - low ability' and does nothing to narrow it. A healthy balance between self esteem and ability is often expressed through attractive behavior + language by successful people. If this is not important to you, stop. Otherwise, go to 2.

2. Emotions are difficult to control. Actions are easier to control than emotions. Spoken language is easier to control than action. Written language is easier to control than spoken language. You have the benefit of revision . . . use it. It's been shown that 'forcing yourself to smile' (even when you're in the worst mood) will elevate your endorphins, thereby actually making you happier. Writing can offer similar benefits. If you have a habit for "I am this. I am that", but you'd like to correct it, start off by revising your written material to "you-centric" phrases . . . for everything you write. do it with emails, post cards, and random notes. "Writing", for most, is the easiest "way in".

3. When you practice 2 . . . and it won't take long, you'll notice that you won't need to revise so much. Eventually, you'll catch your self SPEAKING in "you's". (Language is a quickly adopted habit. Look no further than idiom fads . . .

4. When you speak in 'you's', two things happen. 1. Others treat you differently. They treat you with respect. They listen to what you have to say. This gives you more influence in life . . . and offers positive reinforcement (So you don't have the urge to tell them and yourself, "I am this and I am that!") 2. You ACTUALLY begin to think in terms of 'you'. You actually begin caring more about others. With less/no need to waste your emotional and cognitive energies on "I am this and I am that", your mind actually opens up to . . .'benevolence'.

I could care less about SA911 vs Kasabi fight. I could easily find posts from either user demonstrating how nice or insulting they can be, how superior they claim to be, and how eager they both debate. You'll find interesting trends, however, if you look at certain situations. How does X respond when placed under stress? How does X respond when people are giving positive feedback? This holds true in real life as well. Most everyone is pleasant when happy, but it's when placed under stress that a completely different picture emerges.

Accepting and listening to all points of views, not just those you agree with, is a useful tool.

Kasabi mentioned earlier that he can write however he chooses; however, he has an undeniable tone that comes through -- like we all do. It makes me wonder how much we really can control it, without spending considerable time on every post fine tuning it. This, I suspect, is why I've found chatroom personas of users here vary much different from their forum personas. Some users give great advice on the forum, but once in the chat room you can tell that while they have success, they have lots of issues that weren't evident at all on their forum posts. Generally they give good PU advice, but have crazy thoughts/inner game complexes that makes the rest of the chat room go "Dude is cra cra."

I think at the end of the day, you have to decide what is your goal for communication style. There is no "one" way, but there are many better and many worse ways. The "I am this, I am that" has always seemed to stand out as a negatively perceived way, both in my social and professional life. Focusing too much on the "What" and not the "why". Whereas abrasive may be polarizing, but it still attracts half of the magnet.

Warning a lot of incoherent rambling:
Some people use the chat-room for self amusement/entertainment/fun, for example kamui, vj(sometimes), adamtaste, me etc... ON the flip side some of you that give inner game advise, HAVE NO PERSONALITY OR SENSE OF HUMOR WHATSOEVER(this is super important for women by the way), you can tell through the chat, and people do not even engage them, they are not popular in the stupid chat, some in the chat have a following....I wish a lot of inner game dudes, understand what self-amusement/entertainment is...And if you could care less about sexaddict and kasabi why your first post is a subtle attack on sa, supporting Kasabi, i don't get you dude.. REal world personalities and i am not being bias, as i said, i like kasabi as much as i like sa, he may not like me back, and i can care less, i like him anyways... But in my opinion when it comes to women, sa personality and attitude will get most women and in my opinion in leadership and life in general, his attitude will do better. By the way i know sexaddict privately, everything he says ads up with his life, the dude is real and a lot of you will find out soon... i dated, Doctors, lawyers, teachers etc... They don't give a fuck about all this none sense, if you know what you are doing... Do you think a woman after 8 hours of work care about intellectualism, they want a fun guy, that can rock their word, and bring spice and adventure into their life... All of this none sense, is irrelevant, very simple a dude that uses I a lot with women is qualifying himself and does not know what he is doing, that is basic pua, talk about her, show interest in her and no interest, while not try to impress with i... To the real world: Some jobs require aggressive personalities where you have to use i a lot, and be tough, i am not talking about computer, aren't you a finance major like i am, unless you are a stock analyst, most financial jobs require aggresive personalities, trader, stock brokers et..., example in biz you have to sell yourself(i), the product(i) and the organization and how to solve the clients problem, but ultemitely the client will buy you... The reason i can help with your problem is because my company has A rating with the bbb we been providing excellence with x amount of years, 90% of our biz is referrals, our product will help you make your life better by this, that and the other, i am not looking for only one transaction with you, i am looking for a long lasting biz relationship where in years from now when you need this, that and the other you can count on me, does that make sense to you? do you see how you can benefit?... By the way, one dude from the chat was about to get fired from his job, took my advise, became one of the top guys... Lets focus on results instead of blah blah vague advise, i wish all the dudes that have been following sa advise, come out and support how he has helped(a lot of those have gotten laid due to his advise). By the way as much as stelar was kind of crazy( i also saw couple of dudes getting laid with his advise) my mouth dropped, but the facts are the facts(link bellow)... In conclusion the pastor, priest attitude, pointing finger and condescension(if this is even a word) that some elders inner game, social circles dudes display is a turn off and WEAK, i don't know or believe that it helps with women or real life in general, but again i might be wrong, as i often am, but i can only go by my life experiences and point of references, and by trends, angles etc.. that i notice from those dudes...With that being said love you all...

WTH. TygaNasty provided some insight while trying to make some friends on the forum, and TygaNasty's whole posts gets edited.

No rules we're broken.Is a little bit of diversity wrong? You're only allowed to talk one way on this forum. :'(

Skills has my back on this. He knows Tyga's a funny dude, and at the time, Tyga post some insight so it is not spam.

Please don't ban Tyga for having a personality.
