"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

We all know about emo's and goth's. We know of anarchists, and the anti-christ. We know that AFC are confused, and jerks disregard feelings.

Is there a reason to be non conformist? Is being a non conformist, conformist?

Achieving flow in our lives is fun. It creates "perfect moments" that we never seem to forget.

If a room is boring, non-conformism takes its form as "breaking the silence".

Protestors go against political flow.

Most of the non conformity that we experience in our lives is external. We call this "outer game"

How would I go against my "inner flow"?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

in my mind.... going against your "inner flow" WOULD be conforming.

I'm a non conformist in myself. I do what i want to do, with little to no regard for what's "cool" or "hip" "politically correct". Plain and simply, I just don't give a fvck.

People who claim to be a non conformist only because they attend rallies or wear goth or like anarchy are mostly just posers fitting into a lifestyle that is considered edgy. The real nonconformists just do as they please and don't care about what everyone else is doing.

My "inner flow" is AFC. By visiting this site, and wanting to change, I am conforming to the external, but non conforming to my internal.

On the outside, if I told you I was a mess, you would believe me. If i told you I was a mess on the inside, you could only take my word for it.

Those points that I put up were only examples. They are methods of living. An AFC lives according to what? A Jerk lives according to what? Emos are? Goth are? I conform to not judging people... So I take a lot of people's words at face value. This means I get the short straw a lot of the time, I get shafted for "following" even though I was simply going with what I believe. People judge my decisions accoring to my actions, when it is only my thoughts I pay attention to.

^^^That is bad for me. I know that. It is my inner flow flow that is talking to me when I "follow" people. It is something that is extremely hard for me to fight.

How do I change that?
