Almost no one who has a dog knows how to handle them. I noticed a similar deficiency in people's personal relationships. It is mostly about the belief you have in yourself when you approach someone else. If you believe that you are confident and worthy of attention and affection, people will immediately relate to you from that frame of reference. You will exude this attitude energetically, in terms of your posture, non-verbal clues, the tone of your voice and even body odour and pheromones. The trick is to truly believe that you're top dog and have no doubt whatsoever in your mind that you are doing the right thing. Once your confidence wavers, people / dogs will immediately pick up on it. This fearlessness and confidence is not easy to develop, but it is worth it.

Or do you mean that you perceive doing only things that support your life purpose as engineering? Can you clarify for us please? ? For example, participation in the forum, are you consciously aware of how your contributions here fit into your overall life purpose? Is your behaviour in every moment congruent with your life purpose? Life purpose doesn't have to be a career either. You can be a Gardner if that is what you know your calling is at this time.

Can you clarify for us please? ? I keep like a larger goal in my mind. Then I think about the moment and like you said I think if what I'm doing in the moment is reflective and supportive of my larger purpose. I have just recently started implementing this technique. I call this process engineering. Fitting smaller things into a larger plan. It's not my life purpose. Just a thought process I have recently begun to practice. When you mentioned it, it reminded me of what I had been doing. INFJ-T,ptsd,BPD, autism, anger issues Cleared out ignore list today. .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Confidence just for the sake of confidence has no real source and thus its foundation is shaky and easily crumbles under pressure and test/obstacle. You got it. Confidence that is put on is contrived, it is not authentic, because only true confidence comes with being in alignment with yourself. That's why women test men with emotional tests. To find out if he is worth time and energy. To see if he really is the Mack daddy he is presenting himself to be. When a guy knows why he is where he is in this moment, and it makes 100% sense to him, then whatever he's experiencing in his mind at that time in relation to a woman's behaviour has no effect, because he knows why she is in front of him and how she fits into his purpose. Purpose being the larger context. If a guy has no integrity with himself and he is just hanging around a woman for no reason then that's when neediness takes over, because he's with her to take from her rather than be there for a real reason that makes sense to him. And when a guy is trying to take from a woman then he gets very shaken up when he doesn't get what he wants. He becomes flaccid, like a limp penis lol Women don't like that kind of guy.

You sort of answered all threads that men write here in one post. What you describe is like the problem with nearly 99 % of men in relationships. They never get the point you're making. All is within that post. The cognitive dissonance that causes men to get unnecessarily needy and not be rooted. Constantly getting shifty and unstable in a relationship creating constant tension causing stress to the woman and making her undo the cognitive dissonance he suffers from and eventually tiring her out. Because it's an endless loop based in the false confidence of a man that is the source of the problem. Most men show false confidence to win a woman and then get flaccid and clueless as you mentioned. This crumbles the relationship eventually. At that point it doesn't even matter whether he is a nice guy or a bad boy because he is already on the path to the demise of the relationship. He set himself up for failure and its the woman's job to relentlessly work at saving the relationship taking a toll on her. And if she is the type who gives too many shit tests then the demise is going to be much earlier. Golden points in your post. INFJ-T,ptsd,BPD, autism, anger issues Cleared out ignore list today. ..

Posted November 19, 2019 In reality, there is only Truth. Okay I'm gonna say this from a higher conscious plane of looking at thing. In the end, it is love. Anything that is not based on love will not last forever. Love can't be faked. I believe in natural attraction. 35 minutes ago, Nickyy said: Thanks for the rec. I'll check it out in a moment.

Posted November 19, 2019 @Preety_India @NickyyGood points from both of you, but I think the existence of conmen and their success would indicate that faking confidence can be just as effective as genuinely having it. The very essence of a confidence trick is to fool the other person into seeing you the way you want them to. Psychopaths in particular are very adept at this and such people are often at the top of our social hierarchy. See the current leaders of the UK and the US as a typical example of that.

People build empires by stealing money and scamming. I want to walk on a path of consciousness and truth and values. So I don't need to follow their examples. Success achieved by wrong means is not true success and no success at all. It's like the ends justify the means. I'd rather the means justify the ends. Sportsmanship is more valuable to me than winning the game. But I can understand the need to sharpen the tools or skills needed even if it meant the intent is not right or authentic.

Sportsmanship is more valuable to me than winning the game. But I can understand the need to sharpen the tools or skills needed even if it meant the intent is not right or authentic. Like a mock rehearsal. The point for the pickup community seems to be, that they envy psychopaths, or as they call them, Alphas. Such men see women as prey and are in effect predators, on the hunt. They seem to want to be able to completely detach from their emotions and their empathy, so that they can relate to women as objects to be used for sexual gratification, rather than as actual human beings with feelings and wants of their own. The thing is though, you can't "unhave" empathy and normal human emotion, you're either born with it, or if you're a psychopath, you are incapable of it from birth. Thankfully, only about 4 percent of the human population is psychopathic, most of them men, but it is enough to cause plenty of mayhem. I think nice guy syndrome at its root is about the envy normal men feel towards psychopaths who are often a lot more successful at certain things than they are. Thing is though, psychopaths may be able to "get" women easily, but are unable to form normal human relationships and enjoy their conquests on an emotional level.
