"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.

Anyone ever been to a psychiatrist for whatever reason?
Results good or bad?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

never been. I've been fortunate to find a way to work through most of my problems. But if you feel you need it, don't deny yourself. Get help.

Never in a million years.

Everyone is ****ed up. Unless you have a major disorder like schizophrenia or severe depression, I see no reason for it.

Most people become psychologists and and psychiatrists in an aim to try and understand themselves half the time. Its why women flock to the profession. You also have liberal, feminist propaganda driving much of the research that is used as part of their study. At the end of the day, you are going to be given advice and insight from a professional that was educated in a university. And most university social science faculties are run by feminist, commie scum buckets anyway.

Chemicals are one thing. The rest of it is a crock of ****.

just because you go doesn't mean you have to believe them...if your not getting anything out of it, stop going. No fear.

If you need to see a mental health professional go see a clinical psychologist who will get to the root of whatever is bothering you and help you find a solution for it rather than just tossing pills at you as psychiatrists tend to do.
 

"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.

Psychiatry today is more about being a soldier for the pharmaceutical agenda than actually helping someone through their problems.

This is why I did not pursue my goal of being a Clinical Psychiatrist. I don't want big brother telling me what dosage will "cure" someone's problem.

I've always been one to find out why I feel and think the way I do and, if there's an issue, solve the core problem instead of merely blazing through the symptom.

Not everyone can do this so, in your shoes, I would PM one of the more enlightened fellows here to help narrow down YOUR problem and see if a different perspective helps clarify what's wrong.

Then go get the appropriate help.

Karma brother you're dead on. I went to a psych for a good portion of my childhood to "manage" my add with ritalin.

Every month I would go there, talk a bit, he would talk to my mom, and give her a new dosing for the medicine. We kept playing with dosing, times, etc to somehow "fix" the "problem"

I guess it depends on wat your problem is. If you can afford it however or your insurance covers it, discussing ur issues with a can't possibly do much harm.

In fact for many on this board seeing a pschiatrist might be a better way to spend their money than on worthless bootcamps.
