consciously or unconsciously you're controlling your image in other people's eyes.

Be the best version of yourself. If you really want to go rampaging with friends all day do it.

If the person you want to be is 10 steps ahead and the truetrue will stop you cold, omit it.

Generally act cordial and friendly and ease people into your weirdness.

Imagine you have a choking fetish. You don't just go around, If you choke me I'll choke you. You get a little intimate and then ask/tell/confess. and that's life its a bit of a dice roll. and there's a general order of operations.

Learn to master the art of the humble brag and of subtle high value cues.

People asking for advice is a sign of Success. It automatically brings authority. Get used to it and frame it appropriately. "I'm happy to answer a few questions but this really isn't the best venue, call me at this number at this time"
People one upping you is also a social cue that you've risen in their estimation and their own position is threatened. Just fully commit. "Really, your cousin sounds great. I'd like to meet him or her. When can you introduce us b/c I always like to meet people in ζ field. Its so hard finding good people to work with."

A mentor of mine became a multimillionaire before he was 25. Now to occupy his day he teaches at the local community college to give back. He's always telling girls he lives with his parents. He omits that its his house. He drives a honda to work b/c of gas mileage but omits that he has custom built hot rods in the garage. Because the gold diggers come out fast and furious.
Money is a serious motivator and girls will act way differently.

Learn to manage your image anon and respond to these situations in productive ways that benefit yourself and those around you.
What! are you afraid you'll lose if you have more fun, sex, money, opportunity, a name for yourself.
Take Control, Say it I'm Anon the XYZ guy. I'm devoted to being great at XYZ$$$$

suck dicks

I make up stories every time someone asks me about me because not leaving my house for weeks at a time isn't great discussion. I work from home and have absolutely no desire to socialize.

People call me the most interesting boring guy they know. I made a post about this on some other board and everyone said it was me being an undiagnosed psychopath running rampant with all my fabricated lies trying to hurt everyone around me, so I guess watch who you tell?

It's not that I'm afraid I just don't want to deal with it.

In a way I both like my influence and dislike it. It's funny. When you're a nobody(or perceived as one), NO ONE gives a shit about you.
As soon as they learn what you do and what it reaps you they get all into your life.

It just leads to more responsibility they start to think you're a global authority and keep trying to poke holes in what you're about.
>Yes well you know I do know a bit about investing... I've had moderate success, blshblahblah

>"Yeah well did you INHERIT it? No huh? Ok well did you get lucky in some major way? No huh? Hmmm well let's think of some more ways to bring you down to my level"

I just prefer to avoid it all together.

Although the strategy you suggested works well too, I know quite a few people who actually go that route and call people out and WILL play the long-game(Yeah? Where does your cousin work? Where did he study? What specifically does he do? What's his title? Why don't you ask him for advice instead then?)

I usually just ignore people or give cliche advice. It's just annoying to see people not care about you until they see a way to benefit themselves. As SOON as you mention your income/networth you can just SEE their eyes widen, their penises harden and their pussies moisten. -- so until then everything I said was irrelevant? Fuck you too then.

I guess it's just weird, when it comes boooyyy does it all come. You go from nothing to a huge influence.

I guess it's just human nature though. No one cares about the opinions of a millionaire who isn't YET a millionaire.

Just gotta get used to exerting the image you want others to perceive.

Don't want to be bothered - act "beta" and meek.

Want to push people into doing things? - act confidently and exert what you want them to feel. They'll make up their own justifications because deep down everyone is insecure in certain situations.

Solid post

Thanks for contributing intelligently to this board

>>1151946
Obligatory "Are you Chinese" BTW

Some traditions cannot die

>>1151946
Some real advice right here, thank you for your useful contribution

I always downplay my wealth. I make 6 figures but wear clothes from Target, drive a beat up car, etc. I don't like people who pretend to like me just to get some money.

The look is important though.

Look good, feel good. It's hard to have a commanding presence wearing a hoodie and slightly too big jeans because you cut 10kg since buying them.

lol fuck that shit. fuck people in general. it's not worth the stress.

>>1151886
>Does anyone else pretend for social/business benefits?
Yes
I don't have a need for IRL friends, so I engineer a lot my social interactions, with girls to get laid, or with upper hierarchy for biz opportunities

No, I actually have friends and do crazy things downtown.

Im not beta where I need to lie and sound cool, in fact most of the time I have to downplay because they wouldnt believe that the quiet kid at work is actually a cool dude that fucks bitches and hangs out with prominent dudes

>>1152276
How do you engineer social interactions, pls teach me your ways?

>>1152279
>dude i'm so cool, i fuck bitches and hang out with prominent dudes!~!!~!

None of my co-workers know that I'm a NEET.

Anyone else know this feel?

None of my siblings know that i'm a single child.

Anyone else know this feel?

No, I refuse to act inferior to appease those who are inferior. Every single argument made against economic socialism applies. Equal poverty becomes equal ignorance. Why learn (work) when ignorance (welfare) pays as well. And so on. I'm happy to help but I won't fail on purpose because others don't want to succeed.
