Before trp I used to make a lot of Self deprecating jokes, I used to think that it didn't matter because I was confident in my-self and they were just jokes to make people laugh. Now I'm not so sure, does Self deprecating humor portray weakness and insecurity, or confidence and strength in an IDGAF kind of way?

Well ask yourself: are making these jokes out of insecurity or because they are genuinly humorous to you?

If you're trying to convince the other person that you're retarded, you're doing it wrong. Your goal is exactly the opposite.

Actual self deprecation hurts your image. Self deprecation jokes where you're pointing out a strength but pretending it's a flaw is fine.

I've had success with the opposite. Joking about how good you are at everything.

It's insecurity when you're putting yourself down just to make people laugh, aka looking for reactions.

Do it as a humble brag. For example, my arms are big and I used to joke that I never focus on them at the gym because I start to look like donkey kong.
Stuff like that where it's not too serious. But use it sparingly.

Self-deprecating jokes can be hilarious, but using them all of the time during normal conversation isn't funny and makes you look pathetic.
This is social interaction 101, not rocket science. Jesus fucking Christ.

While I do appreciate your advice, you have to realize that a lot of people who post on asktrp ( including myself) are socially retarded.

Here is my real advice. If you are socially retarded, you can't pull off this red pill bullshit without coming off as a massive douche. Unless you are socially savvy, you are only going to make a fool out of yourself. And this is coming from someone who probably has minor Asperger's.

It's bullshit, if you maintain a decent frame with enough humour as soon as you make small adjustments in your attitude you're already having a redpill attitude.

You can glean my advice from that opinion. I thought I made it pretty obvious, no?
