[Achilles]

Hey guys

Long time reader, first time poster, here goes...

I took the red pill in January 2014. What I initially liked about it was the zero bullshit and self improvement mentality that it enforces. I read bang, day-bang and almost the entirety of RVF and ROK, started lifting and exercising, eating right, cut down on the drinking, bought my own flat, started investing, dressing sharp even when I'm not in the mood and cut out the negative people that were in my life.

Game has improved my LTR dramatically, to the point where she feels comfortable to invite other girls into the bedroom and encourages me to approach. I'm fitter, stronger and faster than I've ever been and it's being noticed and acknowledged. I also approach a lot easier (thanks Roosh!), but not nearly as much as I should (no excuses, still have some confidence and approach anxiety issues that I'm ironing out). The results have been pretty great over the last 10 months but I'm still impatient and frustrated.

The shit thing about freeing one's self from the matrix is that it's fucking lonely. I feel like I'm ahead of my peers. I can perceive social situations and see the probable outcome even while they're blundering through it. It might sound a bit pessamistic, and if so I need to address that, but have any other RVFers had this?

I'm a 26 year old white male engineer, above average looks (imo) and by no means a cassanova or major player (but I wouldn't mind getting there)

Thanks for reading

Achilles

I think it's common for new red pill swallowers to suddenly feel disconnected from their own lives…you start to look at everything differently and that leads to negative thoughts about those around you..you see them in a different light.

I think at the beginning we can get a little obsessed with our new way of thinking to be honest.

The only answer is to compartmentalise your life…and forget about changing your friends to your new way of thinking…you will likely fail.

Maybe try meeting up with forum members if you feel having folks with similar views is what is missing.

Don't abandon your circles though…that way madness lies.

Start associating with guys who are better at Game than you and you will stop feeling so lonely and so being at the top.

@CrashBangWallop & Zelcorpion: I like the compartmentalising idea, I think it has solid potential and I'll definitely give it a shot.

@CrashBangWallop: I've got an acquaintance who's pretty decent at game, will give him a shout and organise a few nights out.

Just to clarify on the friendship thing, never had many but there was one guy who I was solid friends with. In hindsight he kept me back for many years. My game and success without him around definitely improved. Seeing through all the bullshit has actually netted me a few close mates from people I didn't think I'd be friends with. One is even slowly adopting red-pill! These are people who have shown loyalty and commitment to me and it's been a pleasant surprise.

Thanks for the replies, always good to get fresh perspective

Congratulations on your progress and welcome.

Keep your blue pill mask on when in public. Most people aren't ready to accept the mindset.

Check out Rollo at Rational Male, some great macro-level theory on game and the red pill.

Get some posts and or rep points here, then start reaching out to guys in your area. A lot established guys are hesitant to meet new guys because they don't want to be exposed. I've connected with some awesome guys through this forum that I would've never connected with otherwise.
