My life got exponentially better once I got past the barrier and became an asshole
>>84212113how do i assholemaxx?
>>84212113are there any steps i can take to lower my empathy level or whatever it is that makes me feel like shit whenever I do something bad. I feel like that's the only thing holding me back from ascending.
>>84212119>>84212153Let the world break you and eventually you'll become such a jaded fuck that you can no longer tolerate bullshit, and then when you find yourself in situation that is inherently bullshit, you'll react naturally (like the animal you are)Girls love me because they see that I'm a manMen respect me because I have a back boneand my bosses and co-workers don't start shit with me because despite it all, I'm good at what I do
>>84212304>Let the world breakHow to do this without being a wagie tho? Because I work for myself lol and avoid bullshit situations like the plague.
>>84212308Not from wagiedom lol, wagiedom breaks you into being a servile fuck, a "yes man" at all times>avoid bullshit situationsThat's the thing, to start breaking the barrier, you have to face the barrierI've gone through a lot of mental breaks, anon
>>84212113I've been unironically thinking about this daily dude. I finally completely snapped and I'm no longer nice at all IRL and my life has substantially gotten better. I'm downright a cunt now and people just apologize to me like I wasn't the one out of line. Who knew letting the hate take over was the best thing
>>84212304Doesn't work for guys like me I'll get humbled, get my ass kicked, humiliated.
>>84212304I just wish I understood this sooner. The meek will inherit the Earth
>>84212324You think I didn't get humbled, kicked, humiliated? That's the ultimate lesson, dude
>>84212335It's what being a man is, realizing none of this shit is fair but you're strong enough to deal with it, and they aren't
>>84212113I think you're right. But I also believe it's low hanging fruit. It's easy to be an asshole, it's what the world wants from you ultimately. Step on others or be stepped on yourself.It's harder but also more impressive and respectable to be assertive but not an awful unpleasant person.
>>84212362It's only considered respectable and impressive by a certain kind of people, and those kinds of people are going extinctI don't doubt that being kind AND assertive is better, but on the way there, you have to be content to play the fool because everyone WILL try to step on youVery few will actually see the value you hold and how you've held it
>>84212393In my experience it's just knowing who's worthy of your respect and who isn't. Which is usually pretty easy to judge. There is also a few different ways to approach it.You can be an ass and be more kind when you get to know people, or start out kind and be an ass when people try to take advantage of you. Personally I start out cold, but mostly neutral to others. If they piss me off I tend to be an ass in return, but everyone who treats me well knows me as the nicest guy ever.
