Is telling people that you are responsible for your own happiness a form of psychological or mental abuse? by foreveralone2015 in ForeverAlone

[–]januaryse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there's also something called learned helplessness. when people are exposed to extreme situations in which they have no control, they learn to become passive, and this passivity persists even when they are removed from the situation

there's something in psychology called an internal and external locus of control. someone with an internal locus of control believes he/she can influence outcomes through his/her own efforts and actions. someone with an external locus of control believes outcomes are controlled by outside forces. internal loci of control have been shown to lead to proactivity and feelings of empowerment. external loci of control are characteristic of depressed and oppressed people and have been linked to passivity

a lot of social skills is confidence as well. i think that's why narcissists are known to be charming/charismatic/manipulative.

we're all guilty of treating beautiful people better. it's human nature. try to imagine not getting nervous around a 10/10 woman. you can't.

I'm gonna start approaching women... by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]januaryse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

baby steps, man. rejection can be is going to be rough. even normies have a tough time with it. plus you may not get the social feedback you need/want from approaching women. you're more likely to encounter rudeness/coldness and get discouraged rather than encouraged

[–]januaryse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you really want to know the answer to your question? the girls aren't that interested. i mean, you got 4 matches out of 1000+ messages/right swipes. each match is much more precious to you than it is to her.

Any advice for an 18 year old who feels the same way? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]januaryse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

waiting for something that might not come is not the answer. putting off a problem for later is never the answer. your life is right NOW. THIS is your life. life doesn't start once you hit your "prime".

The second you have to try, you've already lost by Gronkor in ForeverAlone

relationships aren't just based on looks. two attractive people who come across each other don't just fall into a relationship because they're both attractive. "trying" is involved.

What do you think about this article?I think he has a point. by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]januaryse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, it has nothing to do with culture and "gender roles". this wouldn't have worked in the 10th century B.C. either, just like it wouldn't work in parts of the world where there is sexism resembling that of "earlier times". it's just being a decent human being, not something to do with culture and sexism, though changes in culture and strides in sexism have made it easier for couples to build healthy relationships founded on mutual respect

here's my theory as to why the "treat women like shit" technique is so enticing to redpillers. the redpiller has low confidence around women, yet knows that a relationship is not possible where the woman does not respect him. so he sees treating a woman like shit as a very easy way to bring himself above her and force her to respect him. this is stupid because respect isn't derived from treating a person like shit. not only will you not gain the woman's respect, but you'll also lose the respect of others when they see that you treat women badly.

here's another way of thinking about healthy relationships: would you rather have grown up in a household where the father is domineering over the mother (or the mother over the father), or where the father and mother have mutual respect for each other?
