confidence is a scam btw

Patreon: patreon.com/Angelosomers Are you fed up with hyper-productized conceptions of confidence? You tired of trying to be confident, only to trip up over yourself when you socialise? Tired of feeling small and impotent? Well, that's because nobody likes feeling social anxiety, and giant marketing conglomerates know that, so they productise the solution in saran wrap that you end up choking on; it's a scam, and it leaves you feeling worse that you did before. "We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like." -- if this is you, no wonder you're still hyper-reactive and malleable; your psychological diet has been designed to keep you buying, not to actually solve the problem. Confidence can not be forced or acquired by decree. It must be earned. You're always watching yourself; you know how much of your potential you're leaving on the table. Unless you're minimising the gap between who you are and who you could be, you'll never become confident. So start with something you'd never think of doing: ditch confidence. Try to become more nervous. If you don't want to, it's for the same reason that you're not already your confident self: You're holding on to your persona, but its edges are sharp, and the harder you grasp, the more wounded you become. Channel overview: A few years ago, I was stuck in bed, hating the universe for subjecting me to the 'sick and twisted game of life' without my consent. I was pathetic. It was only after I realized something very important that things began getting better... life didn't suck; I did. In the absence of friction, my mind was conjuring its own, so life was hard, yes, but it didn't have to be. The suffering was unnecessary. After a few years of incremental progress, I'm having the time of my life. I've never been in better shape, my mind has never been sharper, I've never experienced so much happiness, and it's all rooted in a deep sense of meaning that was once absent. I had to shake myself of lots of old beliefs and patterns to get to where I am, and I believe there are millions of other people who feel stuck and could learn from my mistakes. So that's why I'm starting this channel: to share some of the insights that formed the foundation of the psychological habitat I now occupy. I don't know exactly how the channel will develop but I'm going to start by posting my raw ideas as that's the only thing I can consistently do at this point in time. I hope it helps!
