First of all, FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT BOOK, it's the worst fucking piece of shit that's ever been written by the most normie person of all. It has ruined my life (well, more than it was ruined beforehand) and it WILL ruin yours, if it already hasn't, unless you stay away from it. It is NOT a book that will make you a normie - it is a book that will make you TRY and FAIL at being a normie.

Why, you might ask? I'll try to be as brief as possible about what it did to me.

Basically, I was a social retard, a depressed and anxiety-ridden creepy guy from the block with long hair - and I decided I was tired of being autistic and decided to read some psychology and try to fit in. I read - you guessed it - How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read the fucking book from cover to cover - followed every piece of advice in there, started smiling at the cashiers when buying groceries, being more positive with people - all that jazz.

But it didn't work as well as planned. I managed to trick several roasties into going out with me, but they all quickly managed to see through my fascade. I didn't fit in with the normies very well, but there was another group of people who didn't mind the slight autism peeking at the surface - the druggies. So I spend the next several years going on with the druggies cuz I sympathized with them and their broken lives, because I felt the same about my life, and started doing more and more drugs, from weed, through lsd, speed, mdma and eventually benzos and weak opiates. My brain was getting fried, day by day, I was delusional, got into street fights all the time and got kicked out of my house one time. Ended up on antidepressants and therapy in the end.

>cont.


All this because of what? My desire to be a normie? Even if I managed to become one, I know I still wouldn't be satisfied since I'm not a social person, just like none of you guys are. I would just hate everything normie-related until the day I die, just like in that comic about the greasy, skinnyfat guy who spends all his life on the computer and then decides to start lifting and socializing, and then regrets being in the caffe with his """friends""".


>TL:DR;
Robots can't be normies - don't believe what this devil's book says.
It ruined my life and it might ruin yours.

The book already contains a logical fallacy on the front cover.

Why did it last for 70 years?
>>
>>38411959
Yes, because I would stay the shut-in I always was, I wouldn't go out and hang out with the druggies and I would learn mathematics and programming like I should've.

Now I have to make it all up.
>>
>>38411870
The principles in the book are tools for you to work with.
Stupid people don't know how to use tools.
Don't blame the book for your stupidity.

After reading this book I literally get along with 95% of the people I meet.

It helps you being a normie basically.

Self-help books are for people in denial or people looking for affirmation of their own personal beliefs. If you look at it in desperation, you will fail.

Self help books are written by "be urself" Chads that never had a problem to begin with with being successful. Same as pickup guides. These people actually don't know what makes them successful, they just fell into success, so they just start writing down random shit they do that they think is the key to their success.
That's why you'll find stupid shit like "Wash yourself everyday", "get a haircut", or an anecdote about a conversation with the Lord of Doublin whilst riding in the countryside in 1982 in these books.
>>
>>38411870
This book only contains "obvious" truisms that essentially mean nothing yet even chris chan knows to be true.
but following them alone won't grant you success.
It's so far beyond "jus b urself" that it has ascended into the realm of "Don't forget to breathe"

>I managed to trick several roasties into going out with me,
That's all I want. Just a single date. The book didn't fail, you did.

Six ways to make people like you

1 Be genuinely interested in people.
2 Smile.
3 remember the persons name they like to hear it.
4 be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5 Talk about the other persons interests.
6 Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely

Makes you into a complete doormat that people will say god that guy is too nice, fuck him.
>>
This book isn't that bad. It actually helped me. You just made the wrong decisions, OP.
>>
>>38414035
No, it doesn't. If you observed normies interacting for a while, you'd notice that they share many of these traits.
>>
>>38412082
>xkcd, the Hillshill, in charge of what counts as success

You and him probably love that speech Obama gave about how rich people who worked hard for their money weren't actually the ones responsible for their money
>>
>>38412447
>that handwriting

If I worked alongside you I would figure out by your handwriting alone that you are not a normie.
>>
>>38414077

I do observe normies. They have a pecking order. The nice people are always targeted for insults behind their back.
>>
I knew the book is total bullshit without even reading it.
>>
>>38414035
>3 remember the persons name they like to hear it.

But only say their name when you call them to get their attention. "Hey [name]" and the like. Don't be like those retards who shoehorn people's names at the end of sentences, no one likes them at all.

Warren Buffet credits much of his success to this book and to a course he took given by the author.

And then there is drug addict anon and this other guy >>38412082 saying it sucks.

Which one should i listen to??
>>
>>38414500
>the successful guy says the book made him successful
>the drug addict says the book made him a drug addict
I think they're both full of shit.
