Ok so by default I’m not a pushover but I’m not a mean person either. And although I can be borderline evil to people who cross me I try to treat most people neurally. Sadly that’s already an improvement for me as I used to try to be nice to everyone because it’s how I would have liked to be treated. Clearly we live in a world that doesn’t do that but unfortunately sees it as “weakness.”

However I’m really struggling to finally cross over and just be a bastard to people unless they earn me not treating them as such. For example hate playing mind games with chicks, a lot of people talk about it like they enjoy it and it’s fun but I just can’t get into it. I have to force myself to do it out of necessity, I’m struggling to enjoy “the game” if you will.

Now full transparency, I hated doing the same before but it was out of laziness. I didn’t want to learn game, polarization, push pull, etc. My ego didn’t want to let me admit that I was raised wrong for the modern world and that I sucked at taking to chicks and to some extent still do. I hated that I had to analyze every interaction to try to figure out what was going on and I hated how fucking mentally exhausting it was. But now it’s completely different.

I’m better at all of that now and most of it is now subconscious. But I’m still struggling to “enjoy” it. I’m consciously aware every girl I’m taking to is trying to play mind games with me. I’m consciously aware that if I don’t act and become a manipulative asshole it negatively impacts my success rate for getting laid and keeping plates. I’m consciously aware that if I don’t act like a selfish bastard the world isn’t going to give me shit. But even knowing that and it being at the forefront of my mind I still struggle with “doing what needs to be done” so to speak. If any of you have dealt with this and overcame it I’d appreciate some help.
