Actually people give a shit - when I comment too much on facebook my waifus remove me from friends list. Didnt happen back when I had actually attractive picture though

Posts like this show this reddit is maturing. You stated the truth which the BP wants to deny. I made a similar post a while back, this doesn't mean your psot is irrelevant, on the contrary, people often need things expressed in different ways till they catch on.

For myself there was fear when I had this realization but it changed to liberation you put it.

Being a man is simple. It's having the balls to say what you want and the wisdom to know when not to.

This goes hand in hand with becoming present (as often as you can) to the knowledge that you will one day be dead.

I think about my own death daily. It makes my coffee taste better in the morning. Sunrises are more excellent. Filling my lungs with air is a pleasure.

Along the same lines, knowing that nobody gives a shit... it's freeing.

Shit is too real. Shut it the fuck down.

You are the only person RESPONSIBLE for your happiness.

If you're the only person who cares about your happiness, then you need to fix your life. RP can help that.

If you believe that your parents do not care deeply about you, then you have very fucked up parents. My parents would have given me their heart for a transplant if required. I would do the same for my kids. Most (not some) of the parents I know are the same. You live in a fucked up and scary country if this is your reality. I feel sorry for you and for anyone who upvotes, or agrees with this. Apart from parents, siblings, children and close friends, your post is correct (unless you and your family/ social circle are weird fucked up lower class losers).

After you hit 35, they care even less.

Love the concept above with the obvious caveat that family does matter for most. My family absolutely cares about my happiness just as I care about theirs. I'm a parent and I have parents so I know both ends of that relationship. My parents would take a bullet for me and would to this day. The bailed me out literally and figuratively many times when I was younger and the world was close to crushing me. They didn't do for their amusement or because they wanted grandkids. They did it because I am a part of the family and that's what we do. And I feel the same way about my kids. They are total fucking rock stars and make me proud every day. And I would take a bullet for them. And I don't care if they ever have kids. And nothing in my life even comes close to the level of contentedness that I get from seeing them be happy, successful, and content. Nothing comes close. It's tragic to think that anyone wouldn't get to experience that feeling. Sure it's great to find a 25 YO girl who will let you stick your thumb up her ass but that good feeling is a bit more fleeting than what you experience with a tight knit supportive family. Fuck the rest of the world, but my family, my team, they've got my back and I've got theirs unconditionally. And that's what it is all about for me.

WTF are people raving on about?

This is a good post using hyperbole to get you motivated.

If you took this post literally than you're probably a sperg who can't decipher who really cares about you and who's faking it.

Simple post for interesting thought. For me it's only a phase of maturing. Because paradoxaly when you begin to think like that you end sharing more to other "what you are" for the better or sometime the worst.

There is no "strong need" to see the world as "I'm alone fuck all - my "happiness" (or whatever) first" (Ive done that a bit after a depressed phase, it give you a pat in the back for sure)

what op say should not be drawn to extremism. It's a realization wich will make you a better version of yourself in some social way, There is still stuff you continue to do "for other".

The filmmaker who have make "inception" (Christopher Nolan) spoke about that in an interview if I remember correctly (not refering to what I said, it's more about the title of the post).

This is totally true, unfortunately truth wont stop you from slitting your wrists in the bathtub. Best of luck!

While I agree with this post wholeheartedly, I want to point out that people will pretend to "care" if you effect their life. They "care" to the extent that they think you can improve their life. They only care about how you help them feel happy and how you help them achieve their own goals.

I specifically wanted to call this out for those of you, that think that their situation is different, it is not.

I give a shit about me... and for very good reasons too! Definitely the most liberating thing I agree 100%.

I spent many years suffering from the aftermath of a shitty upbringing and a series of personal tragedies. For a long time I thought that there would be someone out there who would see past the facade I put up to make it look like I was alright, and then that person would be the one to help save me from myself.

Well I'm here now with the best years of my life wasted in fear and isolation, with nothing else but the realization that no one else but me can help save me from myself and a burning desire to see whats left of my life make up for all that I was denied.

No one is going to know you like yourself and when the world leaves you broken from its bullshit there is no one else in it but you who can have the strength to endure.

Even if no one else can see that strength it doesn't matter, you can, and you're all that does.

This is the core philosophical difference between RP and MGTOW - abundance mentality.

Just fucking lol at this cope, lots of people give a shit about me.

Yeah, good to know.

The next step of understanding a truth is to use it for your purposes (right, that's what most lack in their life).

People don't give a f-ck about you, indeed, in the sense you're saying here.

There's only two ways, though, for people to care about you:

1. They gain something if they care.

2. They lose something if they don't.

It's about bargains.

You have a purpose, you need to achieve it.

You need to use people, you need to give people something for them to give something back.

You exploit the transactions using Hope, which you sell in conjunction with the real chips, so they give you their chips in return.

This is how boom and bust cycles are created.

Value is in the mind.

To exploit a transaction you must exploit the perceived value.

The cosmos do not care if you live or die. Life will go on as it always has. You are not important.

Accept reality and make the most of what you got. Create an internal kingdom and fight for your happiness.

Great morning motivational post. I'm off to the gym.

Or possibly your parents received more joy from their children than anything else in their lives and want you to have that same joy. If however that will make you a miserable SOB then for Christ's sakes don't have children. Or, maybe your parents are just self absorbed asswipes.

I was depressed for a long time and wondering why no one would love me. I realized and internalized the fact that no one really gave a fuck about me. I only started to feel happy when I learned to love myself and cared about myself the way I expected someone else to.

It's not that nobody gives a shit about you. It's more the fact that you can be who you want, do what you want, and people generally aren't looking too deep into your actions. Plenty of people care about you. But I can see if you had fucked up parents and friendships where this mentality would come from.

YOU'RE DYING! YOU'VE BEEN DYING SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.......

Most don't get it. They ignore it, they fear it.... Fill out your living will, last testament, DNR What have you... You will wake the fuck up and realize you do not matter. Your death is already written...... Take the approach that you have a gas tank that is capable of getting you a certain amount miles, how you travel those miles is up to you.

Most parents have their children for their own selfish entertainment, watching you grow up and play with you. But as soon as you start getting in the way of their own happiness then they quickly stop caring about you even though they were the one who forced you into existence.

This, expect you should flip the way you say. People only care about themselves and their own interests. No one gives a shit about you, except for how it affects them.

I'm sorry you have no friends/family or a wife/girlfriend that cares about you. All you RPers must have some serious fears of abandonment for you not to let anyone in. Life isn't a series of events full of people looking to work you over. Sure you can cultivate your own happiness but for me, experiencing things together, as a family, or as a couple - That's what true happiness is. I used to think i was the only one in the world who cared about my own happiness, and accordingly lived a life of debauchery, spinning plates and getting high. But that's not the way things are at all. Life isn't about swallowing one pill or the other, its about finding that happy medium, and taking the good from both sides and applying it to your life. Not bashing anyone in this sub, it's been very helpful and I've learned a lot from it, I just think some people forgo having a truly fulfilling existence, and play it safe instead. But then again my idea of a fulfilling existence is probably much different than yours..

I learned this the hard way but now I enjoy the idea of knowing that nobody gives a shit, it makes me more relaxed and careless.

I would also add, its not your business what other people think about you, or say about you. Your business is to be happy with yourself so to hell with everyone else' sentiments about you.

When I discovered this sub a year ago, I was broke, getting divorced, and figuring out what to do next for a living as my old job/career was shit.

The moment I realized I don't need to go through another divorce or breakup again, don't need to get married again, don't need to have kids (thank god i don't have any), don't need to live with a woman again, don't need to make my parents happy (coming from an asian family, this was the hardest), don't need to be held personally accountable to anyone besides myself, it was utter-fucking-ly liberating. This was not depressing for me at all, it actually cured the shock, pain and loneliness I had at the time. Felt like I won a spiritual powerball.

While almost everyone I know --both men and women-- is racking their brains day and night trying to find a significant other/life partner/ball-n-chain (or if they have one, they're just trying to get by) I'm just having the time of my life on my own terms.

Life gets seriously interesting when you promote yourself to King, start acting like you own the room wherever you go, and report to yourself constantly.

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

You can have your own tribe who give a shit about you

Fuck happiness. It's way overrated. Let women spend their lives chasing their tails seeking "happiness".

Self satisfaction is what men should seek, the feeling that comes from accomplishing measurable, tangible things ... improving your physique, earning a degree, building a business, rebuilding a car, seducing an HB, winning a championship, becoming a millionaire, etc.

"Happiness" is so subjective, impossible to define. Accomplishment is not.

This shit right here. The world broke me down and i came to this realization as well.

I actually confronted my parents about things to which they literally responded with 'ur on ur own'

That it came from my mom hurt, but i loved the clarity. Im just there for caretaking and providing grandkids.

They dont owe my anything. It was a crystal clear realization that was empowering. I now just focus on me and what makes me happy. If ur in my life and can be a positive time, ur welcome. Beyond that... fck off.

Its great if people have good friends or parents of mutual benefit. Just know the its just like any other relationship and no one owes u anything. U make ur world.

I got to the red pill by having it shoved down my throat, but im glad it did.

Oh believe me. But knowing this and understanding it intuitively are very different things. I recommend reading a book like art of seduction or 48 laws of power and applying it to see how quick people forget your misdeeds and silly shit you've done because they're constantly living in their own worlds. This will help you a lot with social anxiety and dressing the way you want to and many other things.

This is precisely one of the realizations you have once you find Manosphere!

An erroneous notion in many ways. The world doesn't benefit from more egocentrism.

"should be", "you think". It is not, of course. Realizing that it is your judgement of yourself that matters most is only the first step, true meaning and freedom lies in a sense of belonging, to a people, a cause, a group, a tribe.
