wew now thats some really shitty advice

>Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones

You can tell OP is a 19 y-o beta.
A real man stands for what he believes in

>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
just kys

I do these already because it's common sense. Anything less than this and you're beta autistic.

That's pretty much just: how to be a yes-man and suck up to your boss.

>being disagreeable is a game winning strategy

>nodding to everyone and everything is better
just open your mouth, you would do perfect suckmachine

it's not just nodding, it's straight up lying and making shit up

there is so much wrong with this and i guarantee you it will backfire eventually

>agreeing with everyone will improve yourself
You sound like a fucking pussy

>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.

>Denying the one true god or going along with heretical doctrine because they do

t. socialcels

do sociopaths try to be disaggreeable? no, they relate

wow let me guess are you hannibal lecter?

>he is unironically trying to argue that being agreeable is socially bad

>having zero integrity is a game winning strategy

Anyone else have severe social anxiety? I've been trying everything since age 13 (20 now) to get rid of it but it's still torturing me. I've tried therapy, bentos, SSRIs, herb shit, and beta blockers which work best but only on a few physical symptoms. This is no life and I want to fucking die

Tried Phenibut recently. 250mg did nothing, 750mg just made me happier and sleepier but barely touched my anxiety. I take a dose a week. I'm aware it's very addicting and withdrawal can be a bitch. If I take 1000mg twice a week would that be fine?

I'm so fucking sick of feeling mental pain 24/7 and people thinking I'm shy when it's just my involuntary anxiety making me a little bitch. It's robbing my life

>model yourself after sociopaths to get people to like you
Also you can disagree with people without destroying a relationship you fucking mong

>Sociopath and PUA General
each their own i guess

a sociopath is the best at socializing until they get caught

>muh integrity
never gonna make it

You genuinely have autism my dude. I'm sure you read that somewhere. Agreeing all the time makes you a fucking spineless pussy. Think your own thoughts.

you don't mindlessly agree like a beta

you agree and discuss make it seem like you are not just agreeing with them

What the fuck is your goal man? Are you trying to make friends or make people like you for the brief moment you talk?

Not OP here but I can understand where he's coming from.
I don't agree with religious views because i don't believe in any of it, but at the same time there's merit in what op is trying to say. This isn't about "beta fag not standing up for what he believes in Hur dur" so don't get so emotional kids. There's definitely times where you should stand up for what you think, and there are definitely times where you should just agree for a greater cause. I think it's the book how to win Friends and influence people and they make a reference to this and tell you to "show face" (could be the wrong term I vaguely remember it)
And it basically says sometimes it's much more beneficial to shut the fuck up and be agreeable than what it is to protest and be correct. And it's true. People won't want to deal with you if you're constantly disagreeing and saying their wrong etc.
Long story short don't be too much of an asshat to know what to do in a social situation because "muh Veeky Forums alpha status"

Brush, floss, then use listerine

get people to do what you want is the goal

If you never engage in debate with people of differing opinions because you're too scared that you're going to come off as disagreeable then you're doing the opposite of making it.

Try meditating or yoga, seems to help lots of people. Commit for a few weeks before you demand result.

If you actually have any interest in improving yourself you'll give things that require effort a chance, but you're on Veeky Forums so you're probably a lost cause.

Good luck

You're still a pussy.
And a beta faggot. Anything worth doing is worth doing yourself.

>because you're too scared that you're going to come off as disagreeable
you're missing the point

how often do you argue with your friends/girlfriend over stuff you disagree about?

Pretty often my guy. Don't know where you're going with this

please rename the thread subject to

>SPUAG
>Sociopath and PUA General

because this shit has very little to do with true personal self improvement

only advice u need to improve overall:
flow like water

>I don't have many friends - the post

Just start putting yourself in social situations. They are kinda uncomfortable for everyone i guess, people just do it 50x more than you do, so they get used to socializing.

Just randomly ask for the time randomly on the street. (even though you know what time it is)

Find ways for you to feel the pressure. But most importantly, cut out your degenerate habits like watching porn.

conclusion: MAN THE FUCK UP, WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU DOESN'T REALLY MATTER FOR SHIT WE ARE ALL HAMSTERS IN A WHEEL NO REASON TO BE ANTISOCIAL.

I'd rather have a few friends I can be myself with then a bunch that I have to lie to all the time.

>muh morals

>prefering numerous shallow relationships over a handful of true friendships
suit yourself I guess

I don't give a fuck about morals you lar ping retard. That has nothing to do with this. I don't like most people so I don't hang out with them because my self worth isn't derived from what other people think about me. I'd rather fight most people than hang out with them.

>muh friendships
>I dont want people to do what I want
>connections dont matter in the real world
stay poor, this advice has been given numerous times

Why the would I want people to do what I want? Why would I want to be scheming behind the scenes of every social interaction with the only thing on my mind being how this can benefit me? I'm not a sociopath aspiring to be a real life puppet master so literally none of that concerns me.

I feel like you're projecting pretty hard bud. Like you said, I don't have very many friends and don't care too. Needing people to do shit for you is for the weak. Connections are pretty easy to get anyway. I know a lot of people that could get me decent jobs if I needed.

good advice, but i need Veeky Forums
the rest is just time wasting

>never grabbing a girls face and having her suck on your fingers

>Veeky Forums

Holy lmao that nutsack got me gud

You sound like a sociopath, or a very bad troll.

>>Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
extraordinarily shitty advice
if you don't wanna fight about these things just avoid talking about them, no reason to act like a doormat

>Hint at sex talk, but don't follow it up unless the other person shows a strong interest.
t. forever virgin

>Never get drunk
yeah, because having no fun is the definition of making it

the others are mostly ok, but in conjuction with these this seems like a guide for an autist to manage to act normally and get laid
not gonna make it

>hide your political opinions like a complete beta cuck boy

Very wise words, for better or worse

Who is the girl in the OPs pic ? Insta or more pics of her? I saw a girl today looking exactly like her. Please respond

Honestly, /pol/ done a better job of these threads. There was meaning behind them. Most of the people on /pol/ had a reason to improve, a reason beyond picking up sloots.

If you're not going to make /sig/ threads from the pastebin that I have personally contributed to, then don't make them at all.

I feel like the average age of posters in here is 17. You don't have the mindset of /sig/.

...

While I agree that the focus on homesteadying, book reading, and commitment of /polsig/ was better, or at least more passionate, I didn't really care for the WN/NS thing they had going on over there, and the threads always got moved to /bant/, so I and the other OPs stopped making them (plus I got banned for making them) so I'd rather just deal with /fitsig/. If you wanna make a /polsig/ go ahead, no one is stopping you, link it here if you do.

WN/NS had no place in /sig/. Obviously first time visitors spewed that shit, but once you learned it's about improving yourself, those thoughts never returned. Whenever I see this thread here it annoys me. You can definitely tell the demographic is different. Come to think of it, I've added nothing to my /sig/ folder from being on Veeky Forums, apart from learning about roids.

It's a shame. I think there were a small group of us that tried to get people motivated to become great individuals. I feel like the purpose of the thread on here is to improve yourself so that you can pull women. It was by shear happenstance that I even seen it here.

Godspeed to you user. Continue on your path.

If you can't say Hitler did nothing wrong to a random group of people and defend that viewpoint then you're a pussy.

my sugar addiction has gotten so bad, I can't eat any meals without adding some form of sugar, whether it be cookies or those mini halloween chocolate bars.
How do i overcome addiction? I can't remove it from household bc roommates

You only get none life, why spent it being a dishonest faggot?

THIS sounds like the guide to being a great beta

Try substitutes. E.g. dark choc, & green tea/water. slowly ween yourself off. So implement a substitute for one meal, once that's ok, 2 meals etc. You be the judge of how fast you need to progress

Why wait for them to reveal their political & religious views & agree with them?
Lying to someone just to get their approval is not self improvement.
The rest I agree with

It's about picking your battles. Sometimes it's just not worth it to get into an argument

Nigga....

im gonna catch shit, but research keto for anxiety.

I have some terrible allergies and I'd like to go outdoors more, I live in a beautiful area and have never really taken any opportunities to see it. Any ideas for helping treat them other than going to a doctor and getting the shots (I hear that will disqualify you from a lot of things in the future)? Just going out isn't really a practical option, I get wheezy, bloodshot itchy eyes and a really runny nose if I ever try to head out into the woods.

Why is finding auditions so fucking hard, i'm in new york city for fuck sake

Here's your full list, OP. You're welcome
youtube.com/watch?v=pSWIVupPAKI

A lot of that seems like manipulative beta bullshit. Personally, I believe in self preservation and not caring what others think.

You sound like a little bitch, honestly man. Fucking hell. You are dependent on meds. Exactly what (they) want. Do you honestly believe that you wouldn't survive outdoors without medication? When they were asking for soldiers for ww2, do you think that they made sure to ask for people that didn't need meds to be able to survive in the wild?

You do not have what it takes just now. It's quite obvious to see. If you actually care about it, you would go live innawoods for minimum 1 week. Do it, grab a cheap tent from somewhere, and live in the woods. Force yourself, do not be controlled by the (medical companies)

Even as I write this I know it will fall on deaf ears. You do not have what it takes. What do you mean 'just going out isn't a practical option'... You're giving excuses to random people on a Chinese basket weaving forum.

Stop being a bitch. Go, live in a forest for only one week.

So basically act like a fake pussy and agree with everything someone says, even if you don't actually agree with them in order to achieve some sort of validation? No thanks.

How am I supposed to do that if I'm a full time wagecuck and three years into uni? Taking a week to myself would be almost impossible to recover from.

I still think this is a troll and if it isn't then women are easily the biggest most fucking retarded midget cunts ever. "B-but not all of us are like that!", too bad, she ruined it for all of you.

Look at yourself, you're making excuses already. Higher education curriculum has just begun, you don't have anything important to do academically within the next few weeks. At the very least you could go somewhere at the weekend and be back in time for Monday.

Think about your answer. You're already a slave, being a wagecuck. Stop worrying so much; stop being a bitch.

>le dark triad personality disorder myn

You are a faggot. Most reasonable people don't care about your dumb fucking Dexter LARP advice, go neck yourself.

Do you work all the time? I'm a 3rd year med fag and still have free time.

>Never get drunk
This is how you lose at life. The best friendships and relationships are made when you're both socially lubricated as fuck.

>I don't fuck around
She clearly does, though.

This just in, colossal faggots think ass kissers with no personality or ideals are enjoyable to be around. More tonight at 11:00

Can confirm. Don't drink, have no life.

can double confirm, am introvert and drank around people, have friends now.

It's as easy as not starting discussions about politics if you are afraid of telling your views.

First time here for 2 years. Good to see things haven't changed much. Here's what's going on:
You're looking for external answers to internal problems. Social anxiety isn't coming from other people and things, it's coming from you. Only by changing yourself can you get rid of the social anxiety.

It's hard to do. That's why so many people will always be weak and ridden with insecurities. "How do I stop having social anxiety?"

Easy: stop having social anxiety.

As soon as you can see and truly accept that the only thing stopping yourself is you, you'll be able to move beyond your self-imposed obstacles.

It comes down to unmitigated daily discipline in all things. Waking up early. Working out hard first thing in the morning. Meditating. Every single day. Accepting all of your failings as something that comes only from you.

Fuck everyone else, they're living in their own little skull-world hells. So are you. You can make it a heaven if you have discipline. If you decide to start living your life, instead of being a victim.

Depends on the situation. Some random you met somehow and started talking to? Go ahead and spout your opinions and religion all day.
Your best friend's girlfriend he is desperately in love with? Just agree with her to make his life easier and yours easier in the long run when she doesnt hate you

This is the official OP image for /sig/

Im a /pol/fag and find it easier to say im apolitical. If you agree with different people on different political views there will be a time that this will catch up with u.

>Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.

Yeah no, fuck off.

>>Never get drunk
rrrrrrrrightio lad

Alright gang, how do I get friends? I just turned 21 so I can go to bars to meet people, how do I approach people at bars? How do I go from "guy who's name I don't know in class" to "person I hang out with on weekends" ? Yes I'm in clubs and yes I'm friendly I just can't get over the hump.

That used to work well, now it doesn't. Anxiety just persists even if I put myself in situations. I don't get that feeling where it's easier the next time around.

I've tried accepting this shit and not caring. I've tried "just stop having social anxiety". Doesn't work

I already have discipline, wake up early, etc.

This OP sucks. Never make a SIG thread again.

>Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
>Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
>Hint at sex talk, but don't follow it up unless the other person shows a strong interest.

These three tips are simply wrong. Come from a beta mentality, no, you don't need to agree, disagreeing is actually much more engaging, also, you need to be proactive and keep pushing otherwise you're not going anywhere, you shouldn't wait for permission.

living like that you'll want to neck yourself @ 30

I want to guess that OP only said that dumb shit in the OP to troll a bit and spark some conversation, but I can't be sure because this is Veeky Forums.

just don't bring up politics. Talking politics with normies is cancerous. If they ask you your positions though, be honest. If you have a very unconventional/offensive position on something, have a public opinion that's separate from your private opinion.

e.g.
Personal opinion:
>abortion is good because half of aborted kids are blacks, and therefore abortion is helping to keep down the nigger population and therefore less crime
>the rest of people who will get abortions are mostly liberal whores, and removing their potential kids is a good thing. Less liberal whore offspring

public opinion:
>there are times when abortion should be used, like rape babies, but the rest of the time it's a human life and should be treated as such

yeah that's a stupid fucking position but normies don't think critically and telling my real feelings would be social and career suicide
