Hello all,

As a person whose mind has been preconditioned to overthink and overanalyze, I realize a specific mental barrier that may be limiting my ability for success.

That is, I worry that I'm not improving fast enough or quick enough, and that girls/women having sex left and right while I'm not progressing quickly to be a successful, sexual lover, that I won't be able to keep up with their standards. That due to my inexperience, I won't be able to satisfy women sexually even when I do get them into bed. There are tons of online apps that are out there which girls use to hook up nowadays, with increasing standards.

Anyone whose gone through this, how did you manage to get rid of this 'everyone against' mentality, break free of the mental shackle, just be able to say 'fuck it' and improve?

I think you are facing a mental barrier to abundance not absolute abundance. The latter means being able to reliably pull gf or wife material (the woman/women of your dreams).

Massive action my friend. If you are asking this then you are not cold approaching. Go do the newbie assignment ;)

cheers, Ray

I've done some approaches, but perhaps it's time for, as you said, massive action.

Perhaps it's time I invested in one of the Journals.

Yeah man, like Ray mentions, its massive action. A journals a good idea.

The truth is that there are women having sex left/right, and that there are men who are inexperienced ard getting more experienced everyday. But a good portion of the time, the sex isn't that great for the women, and most men hit a hard ceiling in their skill development - and I assure you it's not very high.

So yes, your mentality is true, but massive action + utilizing material on this site = you being ahead of the competition. Like, its not even really close.

You are in chasing mode. You have underlying anxiety which makes you want to over-control things, over-think and over-analyze things that you are not successful with. You might even be obsessed with certain thoughts, which creates a mental barrier for you....

In life, not everything is so black and white though, for example, over-thinking and over-analyzing will eventually give you greater insight into things in comparison to average person, assuming that you persist. People who over-think and over-analyze usually achieve quite a high success, it is not surprising that many of them become lawyers or doctors, or great seducers.

One of the less positive things that this thinking style can bring you is, that you might be perceiving lots of negativity. For example, average guy can go out with 20 girls, and he gets laid once. For him it might be a great thing because he is focused on that one time he was successful. Sure, he doesn't like those 19 failures, but he doesn't over-analyze them and he is not trying to control them, thus they escape his mind. On the other hand, a guy who is over-analyzing and is focused on negativity might go out with 20 girls. He gets laid say 5x but he feels miserable anyway because his mind is focused on all those 15 failures. He over-analyzes failures, he tries to control things that are not in his hands... Does it make sense? If you want to be successful don't study failures. Study success, study things that work and forget things that don't...

Indeed, your mind is already trapped in such negative thinking. Let's review some of the keywords you are using:
Limiting, I worry, I'm not improving, I'm not improving FAST/QUICK ENOUGH, I am not progressing quickly, I won't be able to keep up, I won't be able to satisfy women even if, ...

You are beating your brain down with these words. You flooded your brain with lots of negativity and you are expecting success. When you drive a car, do you hit brakes with your left foot - and at the same time hit the gas pedal with right foot? You know what happens, the motor will be squealing, you will hear lots of noise, lots of wasted energy will be generated, perhaps you burn that motor - but the car won't move. It will be stuck at the same place.

Your negativity is like those brakes, you have to release the negativity and move smoothly forward. See if you can change those keywords to more positive things:

* Limiting --> I used to think that I have limiting ability for success, however now I focus on success only, and I am thinking about success
* I worry --> I used to worry a lot, however currently I am focusing on things that work, I am focusing on success. I understand that I have to celebrate success, and I celebrate even small success
* I am not improving fast or progressing fast --> I used to think that I am not improving/progressing enough, but now I understand that every action and every thing I learn is a great step forward. Those steps will eventually accumulate into success, and I am decided to move forward
* I won't be able to keep up --> I am doing just fine, I always do my best and I always move forward at my pace. I'm learning so much every day that eventually others won't be able to keep up with me
* I won't be able to satisfy women even if... --> I am learning the same way as everybody else who is successful. It might take some time to learn to be really great, but at this time I am good enough. All I need is to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward, keep doing every day, little by little - and success is simply inevitable...

See the HUGE difference? Once you learn to think more positively your brain will release those mental brakes and you will move forward.
For example:

Guy A goes for a date. He talks to a girl, tries to take her to home. She rejects him. What does he do? He keeps telling himself: I messed up, it is definitely my fault, I definitely screwed up this one, and most likely I will screw up the next one too. I worry that the next one will not work out, I'm even wonder if there ever be next one. I am not able to keep up with this, even is I were able to take her to my place I would fail anyway... And he goes and feels miserable about himself, he puts himself down, feels sorry for himself, or gets angry and perhaps even hates himself... He may not go out the next couple of days because he feels down, and if he goes he is already Assuming another Failure...

Guy B goes for a date, he talks to the same girl, he tries to take her home. She rejects him. What does he do? He keeps telling himself: That was a great experience, I met a new girl and learned a lot, it is definitely a progress, it adds to my success. It didn't work out today but it is really not big deal, tomorrow is another day. It wasn't really my fault, it is ok that she didn't feel the vibes. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a chance and take another girl to my place, there is abundance of girls and just simply talking to them is such a great success. And he goes and enjoys himself with something he likes because he deserves to celebrate his success. Then he goes out the very next day Assuming another Success...

See the HUGE difference? Both were rejected, yet the final outcome is totally different... Learn to think like a Guy B. Release those brakes, over-analyze success, become obsessed with thoughts about success...


Hope it helps

Drck, I took the liberty of bookmarking that post.

The positive affirmations you posted are essentially exactly what was needed at this point and time. Too much time spent on the internet has made me cynical of life, and its very easy to slip into forgetting that it is I who controls how I react, and not the situation.

Lesson here seems to be that you should never take things for granted and never get complacent with the ego, or I find myself getting sucked into a vortex of despair. But I am the one who controls it, and I choose to free myself from it.

The points you made with perception of success versus failures was spot on. Too much mental energy is spent on the negative. Rechanneling into the positive does open up a world of possibilities.

PrettyDecent/Nick, yes, I suppose we can't change what happens with other people. But then we really don't need to care about doing that anyway, right.

Thanks for your assistance, fellow travellers in their quests of self improvement.

That is some advice to live by there, I'm subscribing to that. Alot of times I'll approach a girl or do something and zero in on the negatives. For instance the other day my big bro invited me to the mall with him and in one of the stores this Colombian girl (Paula) who looked like a beauty model walked in and instantly I approached her.. she tried to brush me off (she was one of those beauties who don't think anyone is worthy of them) but I persisted and smiled and kept talking to her until she finally wiggled away from me. Or Cassandra, this really sweet really pretty Pharmacist major I ran into at another mall I chatted with for like 4 minutes who rejected me when I suggested a date at the end (my mom saw the rejection).

It's easy to see the negatives in times like that, but it's healthier to view the positives

It is very easy to see the negatives. I've found that I could relate to specific positive experiences (even if they were limited at best) I've had approaching women in the past to tell myself, you've done it once, other guys have done it, you can do it again. If my brain is able to use negativity to spin back on itself creating a vicious cycle, it should be able to do it with positivity just as well (if not better).
