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

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.
