  1. @Natasha Tori Maru In my experience authenticity is honest expression of your thoughts , emotions and your actual day to day actions.

    However , you're definition has an interesting caveat . Acting in alignment with our healthy values makes us more authentic so that explains pretty much of it . Values change , we change our authenticity changed that's a normal progression. 

    Yup authenticity has been being thrown around a lot in self -help literature especially in dating and attraction.As if authenticity is the key that makes you the Ladies man. But as per attraction it is subjective , I mean - Some women will like you , some will hate you for your true self. But it's better to be single and hated for your own choices rather than putting a cool persona of authenticity in order to liked by others.


  2. @Monster Energy I have experienced that women are attracted to I mean in most of the cases to personality.Confidence which signals outcome independence rather than the confidence of getting her is highly counterintuitive. They choose partners based on their interactions with men not appearance per say . For most women it's like this I don't know about the rest.

    Attraction is Subtle and highly deceptive as well as follows reverse psychology .

    so….let’s just rise above the jealousy, it’s not real, and you already know that, so what’s with the beef. It’s so unnecessary.

    I feel like what's appropriate from my life experience is - Comparison is the theif of Joy . I have experienced that everytime when I compare myself to others I feel like a failure ,miserable but when I see my own progress I feel good.

    Not everyone is suited to the crazy life of crazy. Some people are just blissfully happy living lives of solitude. Even hermit life. 
     

    Each to their own. It’s all about personal preference. There’s nothing wrong with any of us, we’re all just the perfect expression of oneness. We’re all different facets of the same one beauty. Unbelievable isn’t it.
     

     

    This post is great .


  5. @felixk_priv Great. I mean it fills me with excitement having conquered a challenge and gives me related feeling even though it doesn't last. And it's a deliberate act in which I engage with the challenges over and over again. 

    Few months back I was not retained in the training program but now I have a job and id much better. I mean this quote from Kung Fu panda 4 is great - You never know what you can do unless you do it. 

    Once I reflected back at an year and realized that I underestimate my own potential.

    Action is the key which let's you know your potential not theorizing .


  6. @Emerald You're insights are great . I mean I fell into this trap of pickup or per say being a player in order to get a girlfriend. My main issue wasn't that I wanted a girlfriend but I was jealous of girls having relationships even though I am a man. This happened to me in college. I had a terrible dating life in college or say no dating life . My batchmates were going from relationship to relationship. Also the relationships of which I was envious none of them lasted. 

    Also I failed to take this insight seriously that I was already vulnerable.

    And yup a few girls were attracted to me. 

    While performance based pickup can get you girls but honestly vulnerability can lose you girls who are not good for you.

    Most guys choose the performance based pickup . But the latter is kernel of wisdom and fulfillment even though it can get you no dates or relationship.

    How can I break free from this whole thought pattern?

    Challenge the assumption that you can't date or get laid . And also act despite anxiety I mean even those people who get laid have some form of bitterness towards women. Including me too. But I regularly question my hatred . That's half of the problem. 

    And by the way keep going despite pain of rejection.

    @Asia P Same experience with my relatives. I apply a general rule by asking myself - Are their opinions worth giving a F--- about ? Most of the time answer is - No it doesn't matter. 

    Sorry @Asia P today I realized today that I lied to you regarding this . By the way I do apply this rule few times while facing disrespect from my relatives however I have made my values more important than their respect or disrespect .
