Consuming self-help content, whether it's books or simple videos, can really make a difference.
If you want to become a good painter, all you have to do is start consuming everything related to painting. In my case, it worked, and I became very good.
If you want to improve with women, do the same.


It's as if consuming information from that content makes us much better .For people like us who may go through tough times and are looking for ways to stay resilient, positive, and optimistic, self-help is a great aid. But there’s a big problem: I’ve realized that when I consume this content, I’m much more positive and charismatic, but I also fall more easily into the blue pill mindset.
It’s as if to feel worthy of having goals, the self-help narrative pushes me to adopt that point of view to be more "happy" and "positive."

Has this ever happened to you?
Also, how do you view these contents? Positive or Negative?
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” - Proverbs 17:22. A good and moderated optimistic attitude can never go wrong. Logic, when it comes to a certain subject, applied with emotional intelligence, social experience and life experience is what it's all about. That's when knowing to be happy or being calmly extra focus on something comes into play.
