YAY for progress!!I've actually done all those things apart from the list. I dunno, maybe I do have more confidence than I used to. Maybe it's just hard to tell because it went from 0 to a small positive number.
Are you sure? Maybe it was a short story I read that was based on this then.. in the end, everyone ended up killing each other or something like that, cause everyone wanted to be the 'super'-man above all others..And, uh...Nietzsche's concept of the superman had nothing to do with being loud and arrogant.
ha ha I know.. I was just trying to make a point, kinda.. that 'confidence' (or limiting who 'can' or 'cannot' live and marry and procreate) don't necessarily have to be positive..The Hitler just picked out a few bits than he liked and ran with it.
okay, didn't know that (or forgot), didn't study Nietzsche much.. Interesting.Nietzsche himself was critical of both antisemitism and German nationalism.
Just thought i'd have a final post.
Confidence, is important in many things, and women always want a confident guy, thats just life.
Guys with sa, this is impossible.
I can only get it when i'm high, or drunk.
It's pretty depressing tbh
But how do I fix my faults if I never think about them or recognize them? I don't want to go the rest of my life with no friends and no job.
I really like this. Well written. It's not so easily done, imo, though.. How do you do it? Some people can misunderstand, or you can be misunderstood.. Or sometimes there is attraction, or isn't.. It can get in the way, ha ha..
I really respect you for not dating while unemployed, I think it shows character. The trouble with this sort of thinking is only if the crisis/unemployment persists, and you find yourself 'out of your prime' years for relationships.. maybe an attractive woman would even motivate you to start looking for a job/career/biz more with energy?
many people who had serious relationships got jobs quickly, and weren't too fussy about them...
I know a couple, where the girl sometimes worked and paid the rent, sometimes he did, sometimes they both did.. They've been happily together for quite many years now.. I don't know how 'smart' it was of her to marry someone like that, he's an interesting cool guy otherwise.. (& he never finished college either, she didn't manage to finish uni either.. they both switched careers tho, self-taught in many things..)
The question is are you at least working on improvement of your employment/career/biz situation? (since it is important to you) 'small steps'!
Earth went from 1 billion people to 6 billion people. 10 billion people are projected in not-so-far future. What will all those new 4 billion people be doing? New jobs/careers/ways of living will have to be invented!! And maybe 4-hour workday (for everyone) isn't such an odd idea after all?? (I quite like it! ) And more time to pursue hobbies/volunteer or non-profit projects!!
It's important to re-think Lifestyles - the world is not anymore what our ancestors/fathers thought it to be... (!)
Well as for my write-up you complimented on, how is it possible? Well, people do that all the time half-way. They look for friends and look for mates. What makes me mad is that there is too much sex in our culture. Like why can't one guy and girl meet up and just have lunch and not have it be a date? I'm weird for a guy, because I'm not one of those big sex people, probably because I'm a virgin and understand what it's like to well....not have sex. The stereotype for men is true to a decent point, men think about a sex a ton, way too much if you ask me. I'm sure sex feels great, but I think actually connecting with all human beings is more important.
I wouldn't be too quick to compliment me on my not dating when unemployed because a big reason I haven't is because I wasn't dating in the first place and am afraid to go out and talk to people, especially women. So my non-dating and virginity is not by choice necessarily, more out of fear of talking to people and being around people.
I wish the world would change and we could work less, but it's been this way for a while and considering people have less money now, they are more desperate and holding on to jobs more than b4, so i think 4 hour day norms is out of the question for at least the next century. By the way, I am filling out applications for work, I've finished about 10 of them and am still planning on filling out more.
Just to clear one more thing up, not only guys think about sex too much, but I believe women think about sex too much too. Guys are worse, but the ladies are still bad. It's a human culture problem. Just my opinion.

Random thoughts:
Since natural selection is natures way of favoring certain characteristics and making individuals with those characteristics more likely to reproduce, do you guys think that this is nature's way of weeding us out? Since confidence and social skills are so attractive to the opposite sex? Now this isn't science but I'm just pondering. What do you guys think?
Disclaimer- This has nothing to do with the men vs women debate, seeing as this can apply to both sexes anyways.
Yeah those people are defined as cockiness or egoism or arrogant people indeed.Wouldn't too much confidence not even be classified as confidence, but instead defined as cockiness or egoism?
