Why is gen z and gen alpha so neurotic? Not to sound like a boomer here but it seems like they have been zapped by the ZOG ray via tiktok and instagram
>>
>>24809788
There's a lot to be neurotic about

This was the most aggressively american piece of shit book I've ever read. Anybody who actually acted like that would be considered a massive cunt.
>>
>>24809778
It's a sales book. I just learned that fact recently. Recontextualized everything.
The fact you get bullied for trying to apply the book, just for trying to be more likeable, is pretty sad.
>>
>>24809873
Then it should be called "How To Sell Things Effectively", fucking bit dumb if they mis-title the book so it doesn't reach the correct target audience properly innit
>>
>>24809857
We do consider Americans to be massive cunts, don't we Bruce?
>>
Any books that will teach me how to make enemies and dominate people?
>>
>>24809873
You get bullied for sounding like a scammer and using cheap tactics like foot-in-the-door. It’s like you’re sore people aren’t warming up to conversations you start that begin “Saar you must do the needful I have a 300 dollar refund for you”.

So what? We'll just be switching from boomers judging you for not being a firm handshake go getter to zoomers judging you for doing minor shit like in OP pic and giving them the ick. People are insufferable in any case.

friend it's either that or I forget your name

MILLENNIALS ARE NEUROTIC, ALSO, BUT WE COPE BETTER THAN Z00MERS, AND CENTENNIALS, DO.

IF YOU ARE NOT NEUROTIC TO SOME DEGREE IN THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD, YOU ARE ALIENATED FROM REALITY.

A group of people characterized by neuroticism won in every category.

Call it a genetic fallacy but the fact that the esteemed Ben Klassen didn't believe germs were real, was a raw fruterian and An hero'd makes his racial theories a bit untrustworthy.

Esteemed by whom?

48 laws of power maybe, never read it though

They've lived their entire lives in the internet-panopticon and can picture no world in which their every thought isn't published, monitored, and vetted by everyone in the world. There's no relaxation on live TV, you're always on and your 15 minutes of fame never runs out.

I noticed this with one of my jeet coworkers. He complimented my blond hair too, not sure if that was in the book or some kind of race thing.
>>
>>24810187
People respect you more when you forget their name, means they can feel less afraid of being accidentally awkward and you're not going to get attached if they accidentally get too friendly

Women have a weird hangup where they hate their given names and insist on using a nickname, no man I've known has ever cared.

No normal person calls making friends "winning friends" and no normal person cares about influencing people unless they can make money off of it.

Trying to be more likeable is psychotic

Carnegie was Scottish, speaking of my own neuroticism.
>>
>>24810632
its because women are never satisfied with anything

People who criticize this book either never read it or never applied it. Keep seething faggot.

Surely this twitter screenshot of a post with zero comments or likes will convince us

You can just reference my business card. It has my name on it. If I didn't give you a card, it's because I have no business with you, and therefore you have no business knowing my name, and if I hear it coming out your rathole, you'll be meeting the business end of my business boot. Naw but seriously, I remember some book about sharpening one's memory gave the same advice about repeating a new associate's name at least three times in the first conversation to ensure youdon't forget their name as soon as the conversation's over, and I wonder how many sincere scholars trying to upgrade their machines are getting put on blast for the behavior of dimwitted semiliterate pathological narcissists, then I remember this is why I don't ask people's names, I just assign them descriptive names based their least forgettable attributes, and if I still can't remember you after that, you've insufficient personality to be a person.

lack of sex. they are the most sexless gen ever.

I don't actually care, faggot

Dale Carnegie was an OG autist before autism was really a thing. He was just trying to help fellow autists understand how normal conversation works. People who get upset about his book and its advice are just cloaking anti-autism sentiment. It's an incredibly harmless text.

> anti-autism sentiment
Autists deserve scorn if not worse

4chan is an autism website gtfo

4chan is an outcast website. Autists are the trannies of outcasts.
>>
You’re supposed to use someone’s full name, not just one name like a retard
>>
>>24811065
using the full name would be infinitely worse lmao

Stop reading the news

4chan has high critical thinking but defective ability to empathize, they pretty much can never put themselves in the shoes of anyone else. Reddit has the ability to empathize but no capacity for critical thinking

Not the guy who posted but Jews, Gypsies, Ukrainians, etc., are all objects of derision in parts of Europe. It's just New Worlders & Arabs who have obsessed over Jews specifically.

>>24811079
Its not that serious. The overwhelming commonality here is people thinking too highly of themselves. Whether here, reddit, x. The internet has a way of making people feel like they're tortured geniuses instead of simply weirdos
>>
>>24809967
>everything worked out initially
so what happens on the next page???
>>
saying people's name works if you're good looking, well dressed, dont have any major facial deformities, all of your front teeth are intact and white, you're tall, you have good hair, you smell neutral-to-even-good, you have an interesting hobby that speaks for itself, you're employed, tasteful, dont spend too much or too little, ditto for tipping, etc. but if you have all those things, then forgetting someones name works just as well to put them under your charm. just depends on how you want to cast it that particular time.
