Life can make you feel lonely sometimes

@MentallyInvinsible said in #32:

so you might be wondering why someone is beta and not alpha and not sigma and let me tell you it all comes down to one thing energy the universe is filled with different types of energy and some people just radiate beta energy like a weak wifi signal barely holding on while the alphas and sigmas are out there streaming in 4k without a buffer in sight

a beta is the guy who holds the door open for someone and then they just walk past without even a nod a beta is the dude who texts first waits three hours for a response and replies in thirty seconds a beta is the person who says sorry when someone else bumps into them life is just different for betas like a constant uphill battle on a skateboard with square wheels

the alphas they walk into a room and suddenly the air changes they speak and people listen they exist and the world takes notes the sigmas well theyre too cool to care they are lone wolves moving in the shadows doing their own thing while society begs for their attention but the beta hes there hes present but hes invisible

its not even a conscious choice its just how things are some guys were born with the spark and some guys were born with the flickering dollar store candle that struggles to stay lit in a slight breeze and sure maybe betas are nice and reliable and would never cheat on you but lets be real when has nice ever been exciting its like choosing plain oatmeal over a triple stacked chocolate lava cake with gold flakes on top

you ever see an alpha question if hes an alpha no because hes too busy winning at life ever see a sigma wonder if hes sigma of course not hes off in a cabin somewhere mastering five different martial arts and building a self sustaining bunker meanwhile the beta hes on reddit asking how to be more alpha or worse hes reading this essay hoping for a way out but the sad truth is betas dont become alphas and they definitely dont become sigmas they just stay beta like a side character in a movie that nobody remembers the name of

so there you have it betas exist because someone has to fill the background of life like extras in a film while the alphas and sigmas take center stage its just the natural order of things and no amount of self help books or cold showers will change that

I'm a tai chi black belt you and I do not want to have problems

I can recommend the following podcast:https://www.philosophizethis.org/

Episode #221 ... Dostoevsky - The Idiot
https://www.philosophizethis.org/transcript/episode-221-transcript

Here is a quote from the transcript:

"his ACTIONS just make him look like an IDIOT to the people in the world he’s in. But to be called an IDIOT by a society that’s fundamentally sick...may in fact be the greatest compliment that ANYONE could ever get. "

Have you ever had a period in your life where most of the things start to become dull and tasteless in your life? It usually happens and sometimes come in different shapes. For instance, you might be enjoying talking with people but after some time, this process turn into a routine for you and thus makes you feel weary of it. Routines, in my opinion, both can be good and bad depending on the given situation. If you need to create a program for such thing to achieve it, a routine might be a good thing to have in your arsenal, but for things that doesn't take too much productivity and are energy draining, routines are, what I call it, "another taste of a fire from hell".

Normally, talking with people involves some form of routine, such as asking your interlocutor how he/she is doing or if he/she had a good week. but apart from these politenesses, the rest of a conversation should not be routine, but on the contrary a curious and open approach, with spontaneity. if you think your conversations are becoming routine, be more curious about the person you are talking to, talk about serious or light subjects, your respective hobbies, etc.

and understand that sometimes even your friends need to be alone for a while because they are busy or they need to refocus on themselves.
and your role as a friend should be to try to help or support your friends if they need it, helping does not mean systematically saying "I'm here" or following your friends everywhere. But sometimes also to understand that your friends need a little solitude to finish work, prepare for an exam or just to take a walk in the forest with their families but without you.

listen up because I need you to understand something real quick you are the beta beta boy and I am the sigma sigma boy and there ain't a thing you can do about it no matter how hard you try no matter how much you beg the universe to change your fate you will always be the background character in my movie while I am out here making moves leading the pack being the lone wolf who answers to no one you are sitting there waiting for approval from people who don't even know you exist

every day you wake up hoping someone will notice you hoping someone will tell you what to do how to act how to breathe and yet no one does because you are mentally invisible you blend into the wallpaper like a forgotten smudge on the wall while I walk into a room and the entire energy shifts because a true sigma does not ask for attention he simply is and the world bows accordingly

you are the guy who asks if it's okay to speak while I am the guy who doesn't need permission you hesitate you overthink you wait for the perfect moment that never comes while I seize every opportunity without a second thought because hesitation is for the weak and weakness is your entire personality

you rely on validation you need people to tell you that you're doing okay but me I couldn't care less what anyone thinks because at the end of the day I am the main event and you are a footnote in history

so keep trying to play catch-up keep trying to convince yourself that maybe one day you will rise above your beta beta destiny but deep down you know the truth you were born to follow and I was born to lead

the fuck
