"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.

I've noticed something weird recently. Sometimes when I do an acitivty, I leave with nothing to say and don't really feel anything. Like a week ago, I went go kart racing and it was fun to roll around the track but I left with just nothing to say and kind of emotion-less. Same thing with the new Fast and Furious movie, everyone got all emotional at the end but I kind of just sat there with nothing to say.

It's like it didn't impress me or something. Anyone have a similar experience?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Sounds pretty normal, unless it's happening all the time and you're getting depressed. In which case it may be more than just a slump.

The ending to Furious 7 did not get to me at all either... only slightly touching, like when you read a "Thank you" card or something. I was more fascinated by how they managed to put the end together after Paul Walker had died.

Pssshhhh I was like that from the age of 13+ and am still like that. I got a little better after a while, but now I never get extremely emotional over anything, and that's a plus. You'll adapt and get used to it and 'have something to say' so don't worry.

It's probably just a phase anyway.

People who get emotional over the seventh installment of a mindless action movie should probably be deported.

Sounds like fairly standard red-pill symptomology really - i.e. a complete apathy with blue-pill culture.

http://lifeblazing.com/2008/09/22/side-effects-of-the-red-pill/

The reason why diagnoses like 'depression' are rife, espcially among blue-pillers; for example:

'Oh I just upgraded to the latest version of the i-phone only half and hour ago, why do I still feel so intrinsically empty?'

The ongoing tug of war between blue-pill conscious and red-pill subconscious, or vice-versa.

To undertake activities that truly nourish one's soul make the blue-pill culture far more palatable, when we endure it.
