You’ve heard the red pill bullshit from guys like Andrew Tate — “women are the enemy,” “dominate or die,” “real men don’t show weakness.” Sounds tough, right? Feels like power. But here’s the truth nobody’s telling you: that red pill is poison.The “red pill” sells you a cage of anger, isolation, and fake strength. It’s a story that keeps you stuck in fear and bitterness. It tells you to tear down women, your emotions, and anyone who disagrees. But look around — is that really working?Introducing the Purple Pill — the real power move.The Purple Pill is about:Hope: Believing you can grow, change, and become stronger without tearing others down.Love: Not weakness, but the courage to care deeply — for yourself, for women, for your community.Respect: Seeing women as equals, not opponents. Respect is the foundation of real influence.Equality: Not sameness, but fairness. Real men don’t fear equality; they thrive in it.Care: Taking responsibility for your health — mental, emotional, physical — because real strength means survival and thriving.Movember research shows men who open up, who seek help, who respect others, live longer, happier lives. That’s not some soft nonsense — it’s science.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>34336505What prompt did you use?
>>34336509Because ignoring them hasn’t exactly worked out, has it? Respect isn’t about being a doormat. It’s about not wasting energy on pointless fights. Feelings aren’t the enemy — bottling them up is. The Purple Pill is about playing smarter, not softer.
>>34336505sounds like some faggot cope only a woman can think of.Redpill is real, women are fucking animals, other races want you dead, and no amount of 'hope' will ever change that.>just stop recognizing patterns goy, turn the other cheek'No.'
>>34336505I second this. This is the way forward. It’s also the only way a strong family can survive.

I've been making good progress with my mental health these last few years but one thing that's been bothering me since I was a kid are these images that randomly pop into my head. Gory stuff like people dying, me murdering or hurting people or just random gore pics I saw on 4chan. I don't like being around sharp knives or heavy objects because it triggers visions of me stabbing people, cutting myself or knocking them over the head when they have their back turned. stuff like that. Sometimes there's voices telling me to kill myself and bad things but not like schizo voices but just thoughts that don't have a lot of control over. I hope I don't need to say it but I really don't want to do these things. Sometimes I just let them pass and I'll forget about it again but on bad days it's frighteningly close to this video and I have to stop what I'm doing and take a deep breath to refocushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63lHuGMbscUbut again not in a schizo way...I heard about EMDR therapy and how it can be used to make flashbacks less intense in people with PTSD and it sounds like something that could help but I'm not sure if these thoughts have a traumatic origin or if my brain is just messed up. Does anyone here think it could help? Other things that could help? I know everyone has intrusive thoughts to some degree but I don't know how normal mine are. 29m btw if it matters.
I've had ultraviolent intrusive thoughts my whole life tooreckon it's just a predator thingyour ancestors killed a lot of things in creative ways
First op said some good stuffYou should also make peace with it dont force yourself to "stop" thinking about itit wont go away just recognise that you are thinking about unwanted thoughts, make amends with yourself and let it go with time peacefully cut down on the material that fuels these thoughts+ probably if you fixed you sleeping schedule and lead a healthy life it would help but im not sure ofc
why is that baby chinese

How do I become a google employee? I have literal years to employabilitymaxx
>>34334629>google employee?This means nothing. Role/skill/etc.
>>34334633SWE
>>34334629Basically grind your resume: degree from a top college, extra curricular bullshit, code camps, hackathons, github commits, project portfolio, soft skills, etc. Obviously it depends on the position you're applying for, the quality of the other candidates and the state of the jobs market so preparing ahead by literal YEARS does not guarantee you success.
Should I get really good at C? Idk if that's the best programming language to learn if I want to get a job at google
>>34334637>code campsLol. Don't forget your volunteer hours either
My wife is either bi polar (maybe schizophrenic). She has been in and out of manic episodes for the past year. Steadily manic for the last 6 months and hasnt been able to work. She has been to a mental hospital twice for about 2 weeks each time in this period. They let her out because she was taking her meds and they couldnt hold her any longer. As soon as she gets out, she stops taking them. She says all pharmaceuticals are poison. She hates my guts for not buying into her dellusions. She thinks that she is working with Elon Musk and Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates and whatever other rich/famous people to solve world problems. Totally obsessed with aliens/drugs/witchcraft/global political/religous events. All the Epstein and Israel/Iran stuff has really set her off. She is also totally obsessed with her ex boyfriend/husband and claims they are coming to rescue her and "explain" everything to me.She refuses to take her meds and smokes weed nonstop. I gave up on making her take them and she progressively gotten worse. I was going to ride it out and figured she would have to come out of it eventually but last week I had to travel for work and she let one of our dogs get hit by a car. We don't have any kids and the dog was the closest thing I'll probably ever have to one. I was devastated. Life has been shit for the last year now I lost my best friend.I have forced her to start taking her meds, telling her that if she doesnt I will call the cops and tell them she is threatening me again (she told the cops she was thinking about killing herself/me before the first time she was committed). She screams at me and tells me the most horrible things but so far she has taken them.

I really feel like my life is going to shit and I have no good options.Holy pharmcucks lobotomizing their brains cuz it's too painful to just say "no" or "stop" or "fuck you" or "this ends now" or to just face the reality
>>34335124>If i divorce/kick her out, I think she will end up homeless.If you divorce her then she won't be your legal or moral responsibility anymore. If you merely kick her out then you will still have legal liability for her actions. Divorce her.

Hello fellas I need your help because truly I don't know what to doIm 17 and never dated in my live, but there is someone I took interest few months ago, we don't have class together anymore but I see her in the same hallway every morning and so I bought Chocolates for her, i wrote my phone number on them with a cute note and gave them to her today (building up the courage took me almost 3 months) (also we never talked to each other before) she accepted them and I think she got a bit flustered and responded "thank you, thank you so much" and I'm waiting for her to text me but there is nothing.I am not a bad looking guy but I am a bit shy so there is a chance for me also if she didn't have any interest in me she wouldn't accept the chocolates right?Should I ask her if she didn't saw the note? (it like 1/4 of the box but still) or perhaps she texted wrong person? Im at lost really.I don't want to be a bother and look like a creep (I probably already look like one) but I really want to get her to know me better.I will be glad if someone help me
>>34332774What happened last time?
You're 17yrs old aren't you supposed to be on Tiktok Instagram or something ? Do you have any friends you can talk to? Also don't reveal your real age here if you're under 18.
Reported to fbi reported to mods reported multiple times. Have fun
>>34331632>Im 17Congratulations! You will be permanently banned for being underage.>if she didn't have any interest in me she wouldn't accept the chocolates right?Both men and women are selfish beings; perhaps she accepted the chocolates even though she had no interest in you.You're only 17, my father only had me when he was 38. This girl you're in love with probably won't be the first or the last. If you can't date him, you'll be able to date someone else.

Am I stupid for expecting my girlfriend to surprise me and bring me joy? She keeps starting arguments with me, sitting there being butthurt and expecting me to make her feel better even though I can't, blowing up over tiny things and complaining to me about everything. If I have an issue with her she has temper tantrums where she screams an swears at me. I keep trying to get her to apologise for these things but she never does without me prompting her and puts in the bare minimum of effort - as in when I try to discuss it she gives 1 word answers 1 minute after the question. She gets butthurt if I mention our problems around other people though. She says she cares about me but she never shows it. Why is she even with me and why doesn't she just leave?I have been starting to resent her. I remember last year she forgot my birthday, she only got me something for Christmas late (a shirt) because she wanted to get the shirt too and match with me, and yesterday I asked her if she remembered my middle name and it turns out she forgot it. She likes to smoke weed and whenever she does she just sits there focussed entirely on herself and expects me to sit there with her. I keep putting up with her because I keep waiting for her to surprise me with a display of thoughtfulness and effort that balances out all the bad things she did but it never comes. It genuinely demotivates me in other areas of my life. Am I retarded? Are all women like this and I'm not doing it right? Is the life partner stuff just bullshit and I should keep women at an arm's length because they won't care about anything but themselves anyway?
>>34334755>expecting my girlfriend to bring me joy
>>34334841So what you're saying is women are for putting your weiner into and all their attempts to "connect" with you are actually a siren song leading you to your doom
>are all women like thisTo some degree the answer is yes. Your woman just sounds like the usual entitled weed smoking low impose control woman. People do not change if tell them to, they usually change because they want to become a better person. If your girl is not on a trajectory, without regards to you, to becoming a better person, you need to leave.
>>34334755Dealing with women as adult is futile.Try to deal with them as 6 yo and you will see how far you can go.
>>34334755>Am I stupidYes. Also extremely naive.>She gets butthurt if I mention our problems around other peopleAs she should. Your problems are nobody else's business.>I keep waiting for her to surprise me with a display of thoughtfulness and effortlol. lmao, even.>Am I retarded?Quite possibly. Also extremely naive.>Are all women like thisNo, but a fair number of them are.>Is the life partner stuff just bullshitNo. But you have to find the right woman, and apparently yours isn't one.
My stress has significantly dropped in the real world ever since I stopped giving a shit about what people think about me, even if we see each other everyday - they are irrelevant to me because they are not my friends, and even if they were then they'd just have to accept me, I seriously don't give a fuck what boring people think about me, if I'm weird or not, what they potentially deem normal, I simply do not care anymore. It may not seem like much from just reading this but it has most certainly helped me psychologically - considering I was growing up a socially anxious guy.Another instance is when people start going crazy and complain about random shit, have discussions about irrelevant things that could be resolved in minutes or really just have the answer written all over it but prefer to get some sort of kick from arguing about it. I just smile to myself and see how irrational and immature they are.When a woman tries to get to me, I simply stay quiet, because that's the only way women have a chance at besting me, by getting to me psychologically. I'm neither mad or sad. I just smile and it leaves them confused and upset.Any other mind tricks I could use?
Congrats. You learned how to not feed the trolls of everyday life.One trick I learned is to always keep to yourself and you'll attract less trouble from people that way. I learned that almost any problem in life is human related, so if I avoid others, I avoid their bs as well.I honestly got addicted to being alone and doing things all by myself, without ever socializing or even using social media. It's euphoric how calm it can be to just spend your free time on something productive rather than argue with others online or try to appease others, even at work.Give them the bare minimum, and people will leave you alone and not demand much from you. Better yet, make them think you're slow to avoid large amounts of work. Don't give all your effort to a task, otherwise they'll expect you to keep it up and be upset with you when you underperformed. Rather, do the minimum expected from you and any more work you do, they will be seen as an improvement lol
>>34334357>I honestly got addicted to being alone and doing things all by myself, without ever socializing or even using social media. It's euphoric how calm it can be to just spend your free time on something productive rather than argue with others online or try to appease others, even at work.My thoughts exactly. Humans just fucking suck and reward performance over authenticity. I look for people that would tell me "no", not out of disdain but out of love. Sucks majority of them are not like that.>do the minimum expected from you and any more work you doNah I love my job. I just fucking hate putting on a mask to perform for people. I don't give a fuck about their daily life and petty drama, genuinely. Usually I'd pretend to care but most of the time I just want to die inside. I suppose I can put on a mask for the right people but besides that, fuck this. They don't deserve my energy lol
>>34334304you sound like a young sensitive male and i feel for youif you were truly low inhibited with not. care in the world u wouldnt have bothered putting so much effort in here dw anon your secret dies with me ur probably 19? Right
>>34336335I'm 22 and I've been paranoid through most of my life. I don't trust anybody as the only friendships I've witnessed ended up with betrayal. There's no changing the environment so I just adapt to it.
Hello all,I’ve being tortured to death by the police for reporting misconduct of a cop who was stopped from ever hurting another innocent again.The police rub in my face that I’ve been molested and gaslight me with the same people who touched me as a kid.No one even cares, and my worthless and evil mayor thinks it’s a good thing.What should I do?
Are you the same anon that posted the sunflower thread? I was kinda hoping there'd be flower advice
>>34334817Wait what? Where do you live? Contact a lawyer or public attorney. Document or record what they’re doing.
>>34334817>I’ve being tortured to deathAre you writing from beyond the grave?
>>34334817>What should I do?Take your meds.
I'm a 39 year old male and I'm so tired of nearly all my friendships being these silly "gamer buddy" friendships. These aren't friendships based around love, they are really just based on silly games (board games, DnD, tabletop RPGs, Yu-Gi-Oh, Heroclix)I've had so many of these relationships over the years, and every time, it ends up the same. The friendship only really lasts as long as the games do. The day my tabletop RPG game master moved, the gamer group broke up and we only hung out like twice afterwords and then never spoke to each other again. These friendships feel empty. I do enjoy playing games with these people, but we are really just there to consume entertainment together at the end of the day. If I need something or want to talk about my feelings, all I get is "shut up and play games." None of these people are going to ever help me meet women. None of these people care that I'm happy or not.
Yeah you were supposed to spend your 10's 20's 30's finding a partner to build a family with but instead you spent it on gooming
>>34334910Don't really have advice for you, but I'll bump and rant a bit, since I feel a very similar kind of loneliness.I never really had gaming buddies, I'm the THAT guy, the one that refuses to pay WoW retail and will instead play solo on private servers because fuck blizzard (just example but you get the idea). Same goes for most normie activities like parties, sometimes I go but even then I just sit and wait for enough time to pass so that I can leave.I used to have drinking buddies but as soon as the person that used to organize the drinking outings stopped none of us bothered contacting the others. There was "anyone seen (organizer)?" in group chat after a month of inactivity and then nothing. I actually stopped drinking entirely.I used to be in a band and while I enjoyed having regular practice sessions it was also kind of frustrating because nobody else actually tried. Often times we just smoked and went over some older songs because half the people "didnt have time to learn the new song" which is total bullshit since they were just sitting on couch playing video games or drinking/smoking. But again it was enough to keep me going, but then our "frontman" found a gf and she was a bit crazy so a lot of drama ensued and we split up eventually, not on the best terms.Sometimes I think that maybe its kind of my fault, that I should show more interest in people and maybe plan something together, but I just cant help myself. It just feels so disingenuous and pointless acting like I like things that I dont enjoy and borderline hate. And I just know nobody is interested in the things I enjoy or in me.I really wish I had someone to talk to about what interests or troubles me. At this point I'm kind of giving up on "deep" relationships, maybe the "empty/shallow" ones are the best you can get.>>34335816I wish this was the case but in real life your partner is just a person like everyone else, at least that is my experience, it only works like that in movies.
>>34334910yeah no shit, loser, you're supposed to have a wife and kids by now, not a fucking D&D group.
They are not evil, just broken and redated, and so am I.Cant even tell them that I don't like how they talk to me without everyone ganging up on me and playing the victim.

Hello /adv/, I'm 21 y/o (M) I know I have a problem with masturbation, is an addiction. I want to stop doing it, but I have a problem: I'm an active member of the rule34 site. I do things like correct tags, upload art from artists I like, etc. And to clarify, normally don't get horny while doing this. Also, I draw +18 fanarts on commissions. I've tried to stop watching porn (my record is 2 months) but eventually come back to it. Does this 2d porn (r34 and fanarts) have something to do with the goon relapse?
Stop gooning is for losers, at the end you'll be fighting a war without a motive. Find a girl, fuck her everyday, and you'll forget about R34, porn and gooning
We all relapse eventually, whether curiosity to new content, or just to revisit that one video that made us feel something...I've found that once you just let it all out and hit post nut clarity, you realize that what you were stroking to wasn't worth it. Definitely looking at any form of images can trigger a relapse, doesn't matter if 2d, 3d, drawings, etc. Just train yourself to slowly block it out mentally. Distract yourself with something else. Find obvious flaws in the images to disgust yourself (extra or missing fingers if AI, wrinkles or zits where they shouldn't be, etc.)It's a double edged sword though: porn and hentai give immediate gratification without the drawbacks of actual sex or relationships, but also subconsciously rework your mind and eventually you won't be able to get hard without your favorite content (or even find real women attractive eventually). Moderation is key, I feel. Don't go overboard and goon non-stop. Once or twice here and then is encouraged. Going cold turkey will just make you relapse and frustrated. And as previous poster mentioned, find a real life partner to be with. It helps a lot.
Do it without masturbating to any of it, that's when you become patrician art collector and not just retarded shit taste gooner>normally don't get horny while doing this.Right. Masturbate to your imag or get an actual femoid to channel the lust unto. Watch porn without masturbing. Ez
>>34333516You are 21 and young. The damage is still reversible. You don't have to stop gooning its normal to do it but pornographic media is not. It will permanently hinder your interactions with real life women and your standards will be impossible to reach to satisfy you. Quit porn.
>>34333516Yeah you can. You can age.
you guys all nedd to undertsandthat there are only a few people in this wolrdwho can truly wrestle with bears to the point that tjey can claim their honey yes you heard that right
>>34334908At the end of the day, the day ends.Actual good advice though.
is 28 too late to become a Normie? I don’t even care about women like that just want to fit in and be a regular guy without all the hustle and mimicking bs
>>34329440You can never become a normie. I look good, I have friends, I'm personable and charismatic, but I'm not a normie on the inside. Once you've taken the plunge you never return. But to answer your question, yes of course you can become socially well adjusted.
>>34329669I agree. People need to stop putting themselves into categories that vaguely apply to them.
>>34335364>>34329669Most unexpected and wise thing I've read here today.
>>34329440Yes, though it's a chore. So take meds that give you enough energy to endure that. I only could do it during work, because getting paid was more motivation than just doing it for yourself. Becoming one without it being an act? I don't think so.
>>34335927You fell for the pessimistic psi-op. All of what you said is true, but with the intention of breaking the human spirit. Sounds like you're on the verge of breaking, which is what the elites want. Your life is not a spec in the void and you do not have to give up in a world that wants you to give up. Find yourself from within, be who you want to be, and don't give in to the depressing nihilism society is conditioning us into. Remember, we all leave this plane of existence eventually, so best to discover who you are as an individual. "It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own." -Big Boss
