So you understand me then. It's not that i feel worthless and ****ty, but i start wondering how they could possibly not be looking at me. A lot of people hate me and think i'm shallow, especially the girls i know. It also cemented my reputation when i told some girl, who liked me a lot, that she should hit the gym instead and forget about ever getting with me. What can i say? I'm a pretty honest person. I don't lie and i don't fake who i am. It does get draining having to contend with so many people at every turn, but what other choice do i have? I'm not sensitive and i don't care for much.floydb25 said:Damn... This is a shocking reminder of how I used to be. Got very similar remarks from all the guys, and even some girls. Not a good way to be. But its hard to contain when you get so much attention and admiration from the opposite sex. It pretty much creates this kind of attitude and persona. That's why so many "hot" people are arrogant, ****y, conceited, etc. It's also why everyone from the same sex hates them, and they spend all of their time with the other sex.
But underneath it all is a very insecure, approval-seeking, low self-esteem mess. Never fails. Had friends, and dated some women who were the same way. Running your existance off your ego is a bad way to live, IME. When you don't get that attention or admiration, you feel worthless and ****ty. Plus, everyone hates you, finds you annoying and shallow, and only wants you for sex. And you're always fighting with people; trying to prove how awesome you are; defending yourself at every turn. Too draining.
At least now I know why everyone hated me, tore me down constantly, etc. Same thing is happening to you. Just hope you're not sensitive, or take things personally.
Ronaldo7 said:I have a very complex situation going on.
I have a very strong character and an unshakable self-confidence. I dress the way i want, do what i want, and have everything my way. I think of friends as short-term support to help you reach whatever you need to get done. However, i know a lot of people and have many friends, but very few of them are girls. When i go out to the club, i dress very formal and better than everyone else. I always wear a suit and a tie, while my friends wear very casual clothing. I know i'm better than everyone. I know where i'm going, what i'm doing, and when i'll get it. Most of my friends don't and i feel they are jealous of me when we go out. They seem to always want to know what i'm doing, why i'm doing it, and everything to it. I take very, very good care of my image and everyone notices when i step into the room. A lot of girls obviously give me looks and smile my way. I love for them to look at me when they think i'm not looking and for me to catch them in the act. Those looks just scream "I think you are incredibly attractive and i want you to approach me" and it maintains my ego at such a high level. I want a woman that can match my high level of confidence and i feel she should i approach me. I also feel that i'm better dressed and it would not look appropriate for the better dressed person to approach. If she doesn't have the confidence to approach me, it shows that she can't handle what i bring. I'm 6 ft 1 and 18, by the way. I also keep myself very, very fit by going religiously to the gym 4 days a week, which simply adds to my already high degree of attraction.
The problem: I find that my friends don't want to come out as much with me now since they think i destroy the vibe. I don't approach girls for the reasons stated above and they don't understand why i would get all dressed up and not approach any girls. Ironically, i also want to approach some girls that i am interested in, but i feel the way i'm dressed and the way i am holds me back from it. Girls look at me so much and the ones that have been confident enough to come up to me tell me that i am so attractive and handsome. Other random girls just tell me that if i looked more approachable, which I've been told i'm not, that i would get girls by the dozen. They ask why i look so arrogant and ****y and why i'm not dancing or moving. Last Saturday, i got 4-5 looks from so many girls and girls just standing in front of me just waiting for me to talk to them, as well as girls dancing behind me. I think its my ego vs letting myself be approached and approaching girls.
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ronaldo7 said:@Scott: There are too many things that make me better.
I'm not like everyone else. I have the drive and determination that most people would never comprehend.
I can do anything i set myself to ALL the way. I don't stop midway or slow down when i reach it. I go full force onto anything, which is why i come off as ****y or arrogant. I simply could care less about others when i'm trying to get what i want. It is a very "in your face" approach. It leaves the other person feeling like " I was trying to say something, but damn i got nothing". I intimidate people into second doubting themselves. Everything YOU THOUGHT you were doing right will be put to the test when you see me. I have the ability to change the world. I have it all. Whatever i do, good or bad, i will be pretty damn successful at it. I will set the standard for all to follow. I have the mind, the body, and the soul. My young years betray all that i bring, which is why i hang out with people that are 5+ years older. Every girl that has talked to me tells me that i am full of myself, ****y, arrogant, but they always mention how driven and determined i am. When i step into a room, it's like i'm flexing when i'm not. I exude everything people could/want to envy. There isn't anything that i DO that i'm not good at. Everything people tell me i can't do, i end up doing it better than them. The scent of success follows me everywhere. I know it is hard to understand when you aren't at my level, but it's a feeling that makes you naturally better than everyone. I don't try to be, it simply shows. However, it does hinder a lot with women, especially approaching them, which is my problem.
Steady on John Squire. God, what is it with 18 year little cretins filling up this forum with their utter nonsense. You and Ronaldo have a lot in common, you're both Barry Bellends.ScottMustaine said:than I can when it comes to guitar and music in general , that's for sure.
I only empathize with those that i have a use for.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:What kind of upbringing did you have?
Clearly you have an inability to see yourself as the world sees you. Which in itself isn't necessarily a big problem, but you would be much better off with better and more realistic self-insight. People react to you because you stand out, probably in a weird way.Ronaldo7 said:I can do anything i set myself to ALL the way. I don't stop midway or slow down when i reach it.

If a fat person that went to the gym to get in shape and had the mentality that they were better than everyone else, they would easily accomplish their goal and not desist/quit overall or halfway through. Knowing that you are better than everyone is the key that differentiates the common people from the gems. Most people would never have that thought circulate their minds because of the backlash that would be brought along with it. They would lose friends, get told they are arrogant, and be hated. Life is all about survival of the fittest. The people who show their emotions, or weak tendencies, are the ones that get left behind. However, i'm glad you can see exactly where i come from.HalfAddict said:I get it Ronaldo. I dress up, accessorize and clean up before I exit the house, pretty much every time I leave.
I feel the same way as you do in that I feel like the others around me are boorish and lack style. But I digress, dressing up and ensuring you look tip top shouts intent. Dressing like a man, and acting like a man gives off masculine energy which makes both women and the men who lack it uncomfortable which itself is not necessarily a bad thing either.
People will talk **** on you, but they are not necessarily jealous. I feel that those around me who do not know me are quite intimidated. I have had girls I know tell me they feel like they cannot touch me.
But you are not perfect and better than everyone, that thought will get you nowhere. There is always room for improvement.
