ITT: contradictory normievice >just b urself bro >brah

>>26259320
Not contradictory at all. Be yourself means be yourself, fake it til you make it means fake believing that "yourself" is awesome until you genuinely do believe that you are awesome. It doesn't mean "pretend to be someone else" it means pretend to be confident.

You'll get a gf when you least expect it.

Literally anything that involves you being outside and/or with other people. It gives you life experiences which is what makes people interesting

>>26259364
also the only way you can be 100 confident is by being yourself.

if you are pretending to be something you're not, you will never be totally confident in it.

You don't seem to understand the nuance in such advice. By "be yourself" we mean, "do not pretend to like things or dislike things in order to get someone to like you". By "fake it until you make it" we mean "act confident and it will eventually come naturally".

How is this hard for you speds to understand?

No. Being yourself projects your real insecurities to everyone. Playing a character makes it a lot easier to just not give a fuck.

>>26260422
The point is you're basing your entire experience on HIGH SCHOOL and (probably) TV. Which is probably the dumbest thing to base any ideas or opinions on.

>By "be yourself" we mean, "do not pretend to like things or dislike things in order to get someone to like you".

This is known; what you refuse to acknowledge is that often "being yourself", in the context you have provided, just plain entails no one liking you.

case in point; >>26260346

Right here it's admitted that you can NOT "just be yourself" if you like certain things that are boring to others.

In which case, yes, you'd have to fake being interested in other shit, and therefore would not be "being yourself".

I'm a full blown normie but I won't sugarcoat it: you guys are full of shit, and your circular reasoning and just world fallacies aren't helping these guys at all.

You're just proving them right.

>>26260561
You've never been out drinking with actual adults. Normies talk about all kinds of shit.

Source: I've tagged along with my father

>>26260582
Well I guess the bigger question one should ask then is "do you like yourself?" Because if not, that's probably something you should work on first. Sorry for assuming that from the get go.
>>26260561
So what would you rather talk about?

Newbie Normie here.

We know it's important to be interesting instead of boring, but getting high, fucking strangers and watching TV are now personal virtues and pastimes that make someone interesting?

I mean woodworking, programming, martial arts, I can understand that, but just getting intoxicated and fucking?

You're setting the bar pretty low and you're making these "Robots" look like the psychologically healthy ones here.

>>26260657
>Well I guess the bigger question one should ask then is "do you like yourself?" Because if not, that's probably something you should work on first.
I like reading, shitposting and playing vidya all day. Why would I ever want to change that just to socialize a bit? It's just not good advice. You need to tell people what they want to hear.

>"do you like yourself?"

How can these guys love themselves when everything in their frame of reference from the time they were little, their most formative years, tells them not to?

I saw a picture here, a vertical comic kind of, with 2 male stick figures, one on the left side, one on the right.

The one on the left is told "you're a piece of shit!" his entire life, the one on the right is told "you're awesome!!" his entire life.

At the end, the one on the right had a girl on his arm and said to the guy on the left something to the effect of "You can't love anyone if you don't love yourself!" while he walked off with the girl.

You're telling these men to do something that is second nature to you because it's been in your frame of reference since you could think.

It's akin to telling a fish to breathe outside of water.

You can't always "just be yourself" and expect everything to work out.

There is not "someone for everyone".

These platitudes and bromides help no one. They're just cruel, like Louis CK says

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohbv6haI1aQ

>>26261140
Whoa, the stick figure said that?

>>26261140
That's assuming they should care about other people's opinion. If you need validation from other people then sure you're going to be fucked regardless. And if you haven't killed yourself yet because of that, then chances are you're somewhat okay without other people's judgement.

So if that's true then yes normie advice can and should be applied. After all, you probably want to attract similar people to you, no?

why are you being so edgy and aggressive?

i've known my friends for years but when I first met them i was putting on an act to be popular or likeable whatever dumbfuck thing that i thought was important.

they want to go to movies, play games, go on trips, study together, etc but obviously I'm not actually into any of that and I'm starting to grow tiresome of having to fucking fake all my behaviour.

when they're acting the way they want to, and showing me their true selves, i feel guilty because i do care about them. they're my friends.

why do you assume all normie activity involves being loud and obnoxious? it just shows that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

It's common ground for every normie, it's effectively a springboard from which other, more interesting conversations can form. Nobody personally holds a person in higher regard if all they talk about is fucking, conversations about drinking and sex are just background noise for us while we work out who's worth talking to.
