How do you successfully fake confidence? How do you take the idgaf pill.

>fake
You already failed.
You know anon, take it from me, if you keep wearing a mask, at some point you will forget who the real you is.

>>81910043
I would rather be someone else than me at this point anon. I hate being me.

>>81910043
everyone online is saying just fake it, fuck normies.

how tf do i be myself when im scared to be myself though? just be scared?

>>81910034 (OP)
Just stay silent, the longer, the better. IRL people don't even notice when I'm actually freaking the fuck out because I stay silent and pretend to not give a fuck, it's even more effective if you wear sunglasses, btw.

confidence isn't as hot as apathy, anon. don't be impressed by anything (but not in a dickish way) and you WILL get pussy

>>81910043
>keep wearing a mask
The real me is a pussy that doesn't get women. Faking it is the only thing that works

cocaine.
unironically. i mean it. i did cocaine, fucking tinder likes increased just like that, i wrote fucking whatever to them and they were engaging until i finally met up with one of them and i lost my vcard at ffs 27. or some would say it doesn't count since i couldn't nut, struggled as fuck just staying erect. on account of all the cocaine.
like, if i was gonna make this bs up i'd make it more believable. then i quit since chicks wanted me when i was on coke but they didn't want me because i did coke. but then they didn't want me because i'm still lame as shit and now like clockwork my likes are back to barely any and no matter what i write i dont get responses. its almost like its a game mechanic trying to balance my life just circling the drain keeping me just on the brink of suicide. i get shit when i'm getting close to necking and nothing works when i think i might actually have a shot in life. on speed and coke i didn't really give a fuck about the outcome.
since i've now been on both sides i just personally feel and think after mulling it over time and time again, that i regret the shit i didn't do more than the shit i did.

When I was 18, I started mass-dating women from as many dating apps as possible (this was in 2014). Before the dates, I would have a drink or three of vodka, then act low inhib as a result while taking mental notes of what the women responded to. After years of doing this, people who meet me for the first time genuinely assume I am a hyper-confident potential egomaniac, and in emergency situations people turn to me for guidance.

Internally I am still an anxious wreck, but maybe true bravery is pushing that down.

Toxoplasmosis has been associated with more reward seeking/less risk aversion. Eat cat poop

Confidence is simply your internal assessment of the likelihood of achieving a positive outcome.

Its developed by experience and 'win' ratio.

Think about your favorite videogame that you are skilled at. You are 'confident' you can win because you've won before and you have prior experience.

Now think about when you play a new game thats outside your usual preferred genre. You are unsure, you play it safe, you fumble around and make mistakes. You aren't 'confident' at it.

Thats all that confidence is. Its not some mystical scary quality that some people just have or not. Its something you develop that becomes a psychological outlook.

So if you want to get confident at something you first need to start small and git gud at tasks and activities related to the main thing you are trying tk get confident at. You pick small battles that you can win and progressively take on harder challenges. You do this over and over and over until it becomes routine, it becomes boring because you do it so much and you don't even feel anxious anymore because it becomes like a familiar chore.

Practice and experience are the secret cheat codes to basically everything in life.

>B..but whatabout Chad?
Chad lucked out by having a better beginning win rate and more opportunities early on to practice. But I guarantee you that even when he was a beginner he made mistakes and had to learn.

wasn't it opposite for guys tho?
and even if not, isn't it still a chicken and egg situation since people with low impulse control/low risk analyzis people are more likely to eat catshit

this isn't wrong.
when looking at successful people its more or less them just winning more than others or they seemingly dont give a shit about losing. historical examples is alexander the great who was a tactical guy sure but no way around how he inherited a set table, another more life fuel example is julius caesar who was more or less a literal who into his 30s and dropped the ball on a lot of stuff being part of failed conspiracies, got political bills shat on because half the senate saw it as their god given purpose to fuck his shit up and not every battle was a victory, but he kept trying and now the word for emperor, king of kings, in many languages comes from his name and what he did defined the entire world.
some had it easy and won life. others wanted to neck more than once because they fucked up so hard. i just like reading about the latter. famous peoples biggest fuckups and how they coped.
guess thats the true key to gaining confidence if you didn't inherit shit, just realizing its okay to lose sometimes.
game analogy again, i noticed i just dont want to play the moment games dont go my way. and its like that with fucking everything. so i decided to stop doing that. EU4, CK2, Rimworld, losing and getting your shit fucked up sometimes is half the fun. makes victories all the sweeter. that said always losing and never winning just sucks balls.

>How do you take the idgaf pill
If you want a literal answer, 30mg extended release Adderall + 0.5mg Clonazepam.
Just remember, when you make a deal with the devil, you always end up paying interest at a rate worse than the seediest payday loan places in abandoned strip malls. You'll get what you want at the moment, but eventually you'll pay, and I don't mean the up front cost of the pills themselves.

>>81910034 (OP)
you cant fake confidence, taking the idgaf pill takes years but im too blazed rn to explain just figure it out yourself nigga i believe in you

>>81910034 (OP)
You stop doing things because you think it will impress others/society says you should, and instead do it for yourself.

>>81910034 (OP)
trade stress for anxiety. have so many things going on that you genuinely feel your time is more valuable than others. speak loud and clearly with your chest, if others try to speak over you, do not stop talking or give them the courtesy of interjecting, get a hair louder, even. if you act like you own the place, whether it's a discord or a workplace, and everything follows suit. never admit "i don't know," say whatever facts or avenues are tangentially related to the topic.
psychedelics, if you can handle them, are also a cheat code for extroversion

>>81913714
one more thing about the psychedelics, they help to make people who are fundamentally boring a lot more easier to chat with. they feel recognized, and you get the charisma points.

you can buy low doses of 4ACO-DMT from a product called mindbender nuhoney, and large doses of god-knows-what in Road Trip gummies.

as an introvert at heart, no amount of coaching can make boring, family-man, sport-enjoying, non-creative people fun to talk to. this is a must for hopeless introverts
