"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.

Run away from wealthy toxic parent and do what on young worker money?

Life is no fairy tale.

Just remember they are phucked up and take the house for now. Go after your goals - w/o parents support you might fall far away from your optimal best-version-of-yourself.
I have seen the very best version child raised by narcissist.. Its only an illusion at best, at the end you came out as a shell of your former self.

And god help this child who surpasses his parent's achievements, for this can easily inspire malicious competition from the envious parent toward their offspring.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This is a valid point.

However this requires a very strong mental state. Cause they can start trying to abuse again... as Focal core said about narcissist abuse, this is what I think it happens with them.

So if I accept it I must be very careful... Cause my dad will probably use that to take back his primary supply (me)

Yes, I saw that whenever I achieved something better than my dad... He tried to put me down.

It could be professionally, phisically (strong, healthier), or even being happier than he... This is really really toxic.

Thats true man.

I think the time I accept it, they will start to try to control again and use it against me.

Im not making much money in this period and not finding a decent job... Sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed, but I cant fall into that.
You shouldn't be allowing them to talk to you.

I'm starting to realize that.

Some games already started, and I'm already feeling anxious about it.

They wanted to talk... I told only on monday, then they started to schedule for today or tomorrow. And even if I say I'm busy this weekend, they keep trying to control even that.

And I'm feeling really disappointed with my uncle. He was the only one I had intimacy in my family to trust and talk... And it got clearly my dad made his head with this depression talk.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Concede.

Your little rebellion should be over by now. You made a statement. Accept proposition (it's generous) and try to make peace with your family.

Overprotecting family is still better than so called friends that want you to be as miserable as they are. Take the house.
"Little rebellion"? They were damaging his life.

I wasnt talking with them, but this conversation with my uncle got on my weakness.

Bit mad with that, cause I know they know its my weak point. I felt sad hearing my mom was depressed and not sleeping... I'm feeling stupid now

Yeah take the house and living with FOG later {fear, Obligation, guilt} for the measly rest of ye life.

Genuinely strong, powerful individuals are attracted to others like themselves, so dont worry about other people, water seek its own level.

Trade your soul for the devil, its over for you for even chances living a worthy life.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hundreds millions of people damage other people's lives each and every day, sometimes they damage even their own lives.

There are worse things than being manipulated and bribed with your family money.
I can agree that there are a lot of sh1t in this World, and definitely worse stuffs.

The thing is that, based on what I experienced, psychological abuse is silent and can kill just as phisical abuse.

I have moments when I definitely wanted to die. It was a cold thought and it scared me so much. The pain was so intense, that this sh1t come into my mind... I can't explain how I felt with that, but it's not a good place to went in our minds.

That's why I have to be very careful. If I do that I have to be smart and sell this place as quick and as silent as I can. Then move out to another town. This is the only way I can think to use that in my favor. And this require a cold blood too, cause I know it will be a mess and they play hard with my emotions.

This example was clear, how my dad can use people to contact me and made me weak.

I think a lot about that this weekend. Remembered all those things he said about me, what he did and how it affected my mind.

And how many times he promissed something and then changed everything to favor himself, or even to try to control or made me feel humiliated.

I can win, if I play better than them. But as I said, cold blood and act really silently and quiet. When they realize, I just did what I wanted.

Play your own game. That means they are out of your life.

Yep.

I can feel the pain of that, but I wont fall back in those same stories.

It always slow me down... Put me on a sad mood and I got anxious. And result of this: not putting that energy into my goals.
