Spiral

Nice people get on my nerves that's for sure. Anyone that act separately from how they the think does, I mean they are either manipulative/selfish or nice. They can also be insecure but that's different imo

I have very minor version, she was my first close friend about a year ago. You'd think getting into a relationship would help and yeah it does but not as much as you'd think. Although being active socially is the best solution in my experience. She does come to mind not daily but maybe weekly-ish. Perhaps missing her is the best way to put it, once you had it all you don't want to settle for less I suppose.

@-Rowan I would take everything you read here with a grain of salt. People see things differently. The rep feature is a good indicator if what he/she wrote is something the rest of us agree with.

A way of looking at is that people whom have a fetish are putting on a mask, for instance a man that act superior in everyday life will often be submissive in the bedroom. Neurotic women will often like really "rape play". If you have a fetish that's alright but know that it says something about you

If you want to go to stage yellow, you must first be at stage green (obviously) and then you most come to realise the idealistic and unrealistic nature of green thinking. As in why green thinking does not work and in turn you learn to truly understand the other stages.Because green thinking is humane but people get in the way, how and why this is the case is "illuminating". Understanding people systems becomes a introduction to systems thinking.

Resonate but not identify with being spoiled to some extent, but it just good to know what your weakness is so you can work on them.

Learn nope, not really at this point most self-development things are things I've heard before,Leo often provides something new almost every week even if it theoretical. As for growth yeah definitely have remade my mornings routine resenlty(thanks siim).

You get used to it after a while if you hang with lots of attractive girls all the time, the opposite of the mermaid effect I suppose.

Well yeah meditation is useful for becoming more perceptive and happy in general so I guess it's helps. If that motivates you to do it great, get your ass meditating. As per enlightenment yeah,but you probably don't care much for it then.

Stop watching porn, masterbate in moderation. This will grant a better perspective of girls/women. Looking good and doing interesting things can only get you so far. A easier way to "get" girls is to enjoy being with them(without sex etc)and having them enjoy being with you. Also don't assume we are against you or that you're a bad person because of the way you think, it's very common.

@Girzo It's a problem because you treat people differently, generally in a degrading way. You struggle to create relationships with people because they to you are just pesky peasants. Among other things. @Socrates It's a phase it will go away

@Santiago I do that all the time, if it a proper place to hit on me ill explain myself but not if it's on the street. Don't get me wrong if she is after help or something sure ill give her some of my time but, not if it obvious that she just wants to the "D". If you actually want to give her the "D" you are going to have to talk to her, seeming way to hard to gets you nowhere.

Well by adding everything to a database rather then hard coded into the site through HTML and display it thought php(on the site) would make app use easier and relatively low effort to run. But I'm still critical, perhaps as a source for audio based material. "Leo talks"

What good thing is: quick, easy and emotionally effortless?

@Christian The better safe than sorry approach. Three weeks per habit is good for me. Two weeks of: I don't want to..... and one to make it stick.

I do think we need to compromise in relationships, within reason. If you just want to do your own thing do that, alone.

Sleeping consistently, as in going to bed the same time every day is key. Going up the same time everyday is also key. Sleeping between 11-12 at night is the most important hour. Proper breakfast is really important and taking a cold shower give you a lot for energy. It's all about your morning habit.

@MasterNigel an interesting read, I like the you formulate yourself. I don't want to to tell you what you "should" do, but from what I can tell, you want to start the online selling business rather than doing construction. I would feel the same if i was in your position. Either way I would tell your old friend that you don't like the way he is treating you, that is usually enought to make people stop. Make sure to do really seriously so that he really understands and no, he is not having any possible effect on you. As for what I would recommend regarding work. You either work part time for him and part time on your online business, but your really need to work on the online business then. If you don't think you can really go at it seriously then don't waste your time. You could for instance work 8 per day, 3 days construction and 2 days on your business. If your not putting down at least 8 hours those days then you're not ready yet. The other option is starting to work for him full time and when you can, get yourself somewhere to live on your own. Why? You'll become a proper adult if you do (and girls like it). You will start to take life more seriously, you can't just let a parent do it for you, sounds clique but it's an really important step in your life. Working hard has it own rewards, that grow you in more ways than one. You can always work on your online business on the side, on weekends for instance.

Things that give some extra effect are: Attractive people using the product People doing admirable/positive thinks with product (such as exercise) Beautiful landscape/ background Bonus if you make the ad memorable Why do these work,? well because people get into their subconsciousness that buying the product will give them these things. Example:

A video a day keeps useful things away.

@Lord Bwyra Alright fair enought, thanks for the signature heads up

@Lord Bwyra That a bit harsh, while I agree that seeing women as sex object and only doing pickup for sex is a bit shallow.It is also true that many pick "artists" are quite unethical in there approach to the whole thing. But if both partis get what they expected I don't really see a problem in it, as long as it's just a phase. Women at least in western countries are really promiscuous so it's not like his necessary taking advance of them @onacloudynight As per advice, don't expect anything. If excitement is really the goal then perhaps talking is just that, exciting. Enjoy that and if it leads to something else then that might be even more exciting. Try to have fun instead of being so serious about it, that will help. Got approach anxiety? no worries I got you. Start talking to women your are not attracted to. Why? To see that you can have a lot of fun with them as well(but don't flirt that's just mean). Do that few of times and the approach anxiety will be reduced and as a bonus you'll learn some new things about women.

Why do you ask? Is sex important to you, is it something you want? Nothing wrong with that if that's the case.

@kieranperez Hatred is a interesting feeling is it not? Perhaps one can learn something from it, not found elsewhere. Less vague input is below.

Pretend you're watching a VR movie through your own body, if you get right everything becomes scary and fascinating. Like really scary and fascinating.
