"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.

Peoples perspective of me hasn't changed as much as i have. People's first impression of me never leaves them, and they treat me like crap, and they spread rumors and make other people treat me poorly. It's a huge road block in my life, and it makes me take 2 steps back when i take 1 forward. I need HELP!!!!!
 

"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.

Yeah, first impressions are hard to change. Honestly, I would just stop caring what these other people thought of you; if they don't like you, they aren't worth your time.

Of course, if what they were doing is having a serious negative impact on your life, you shouldn't just let it be. I'd consider confronting them about what they're doing. Be calm, but also be stern. Let them know that you don't like what they're doing, and if they keep it up you'll start to retaliate. How you retaliate is up to you, of course, since I don't know that much about the specifics of your situation, but NEVER let people get away with **** that is actually negatively affecting your life.

Solutions:
  • Make new first impressions, which means meet new people.
  • Reverse your image by countering poor treatment with confidence and civility. Develop thick skin.
  • Spread positive notions about other people. Negativity breeds negativity. You can only defeat negative thinking by nurturing a positive atmosphere.
  • You control your feet, even in shackles. Step forward. Resist backtracking.
And this is important: read the article linked in my signature. :)

It starts off with alot of ppl didn like the AFK me then they spread word so when i tried to meet new people they gave me the cold shoulder, and then agree that i'm annoying and weird. So it flows through out the school. If i could find the people who started it i'd ****ing kill them, but right now i dont know who to hate and who to like
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Stop acting like a child and grow up. You will encounter rumors and criticism about you throughout your entire life, especially if you embark on a career that involves gaining recognition in some manner. Develop thick skin and let your balls hang out. Be confident in who you are and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Let's see if you're mature enough to maintain a positive attitude when you read this...

It sounds as though you're already thinking this and it's showing in your body language. People judge you before you even start talking to them. I think you should start small with people, join in conversations with statements that show you just don't care what these 'cool kids' think of you.

The way you talk or carry youself can give off a big impression, since turning around the way i talk seem to be treating with more authority in the work place and all eyes are on me in social situation, i.e. a group of people and when anyone else talks they look at me.

Try talking louder and clearer (forget about deeper unless you squeek like a mouse) with no hint of uneasyness in your voice, make sure you body language in congruent to it or you won't pull in off.

becareful not to over do it, you will look like a try hard tool

This is the easiest potential solution: just get into a few fights. You don't even have to win them (big plus if you do, though). Just put up a decent showing, and people will soon get the hint that you're not a person to be fvcked with. It really is that simple. Now, if you go to a hardcore school, where getting into a fight can be life threatening, well, this might not be the best advice.

Honestly, I'm amazed at Demon's advice, "be confident". Well, duh. No shyt. How to develop that confidence is what it's all about. Jeezus. You'd think after five years a guy would have learnt something, but nope, he's telling people "be the ball, jimmy".
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Who controls your life? You or them?

This isn't a "roadblock on your journey" you're talking about...this IS your journey. Becoming a Don Juan is about becoming master of your own life instead of being ruled by other people's opinions. Otherwise how are you going to play dominant male to a beautiful woman? She will walk all OVER you.
