"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Are we born Introvert or Stuck Up?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

No one is born stuck up. People are stuck up due to socialization. Some people may be born with a more introverted temperment, but like i said before, socialization plays the key role.

Yeah I think intorversion, and extraversion for that matter, and stuck upness (narcissism?) are two distinct and separate things. I do think you can be born with the genetics that will favor for introversion and/or being stuck up though.

A person can be born with Avoidant Personality Disorder and can thus be born to become introverted and likewise another person can be born with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and thus be stuck up.

So yeah people can be born to be either one of those.

Normal people who do not carry the bad genetics that create those disorders are born neutral but through socialization, learning and their own genetic makeup they go on to become various types of different personality's.

This is one of best explaination I've seen and I totally agree. A person with genetics to become xyz will become that almost regardless of enviroment. And a genetically neutral person could go either way depending on enviroment. And a person who is strongly genetically positive to not become xzyz never will regardless of enviroment. And another thing is a person's genetics influence how their enviroment react to them. In other words a "negative" genetic quality draws in a reinforces negative from their enviroment.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

peoples personalities are influenced by: environment and biology (hereditary factors)

There are different schools of thought on it but the majority of scientists believe that biology does play a big role in our "default" personality but that it can be altered by environment.
