Red Pill, the truth and the past

I think your frame sucks if you think you need to give everyone an honest answer or any answer at all.

So, why did you move to X? Because I have a warrant out in Y.

Or maybe you can't be a smart ass so you say it presented better opportunities for your family.

When the complete truth has the tangible effect of causing people to treat me like second class citizen, then I figure I don't owe them the complete truth

The only person you need to be completely truthful with is yourself.

WISNIFG and NMMNG have the answer. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything.

Also, 48 laws of power would be a good read for you:

Law 4 - Always say less than necessary

Law 5 - So much depends on your reputation - guard it with your life

Part of mrp, for me, was redefining the narrative of my life.

Define it for you. Then make it the truth. Tell your story to yourself and believe it. Then tell that version to others when asked.

Part of this is about brutal honesty, sure. Part of it is about irrational self confidence, though. Learn to balance the two.

What's the point of all this? It's to hammer home the point that lifting is absolutely required for the MRP man. There is no downside and the upside is enormous. There is a reason it's a cornerstone piece of advice in this forum. Even older guys will benefit. It does piss me off that I took so long to get this advice and I am going to make damn sure my son understands the value of lifting."

read this MRP sub STFU, read , Lfit

Tell them you had to move a lot because your personal mission in life is to eat at every Cracker Barrel in the USA.

I think I get where you are going with this but your post lacks specifics. What’s most important is what you think of yourself and where you choose to take your future, second place is how you interact with your wife regarding your future (don’t bitch about the past to her). Last place is what you say to others, who cares what people think at a cocktail party. Tell them an interesting story like you went a certain way because you were in the witness protection program, or you were following your dream of pursuing competitive ping pong, then make a joke and move on.

If I don't feel like answering, I say "Insanity."

Be truthful. Don't be autistic, socially awkward, and don't share everything. If you don't feel like sharing, bend and move the conversation around that part.

Remember, you are only communicating something like 30% with your mouth at these cocktail events. 70% is body language. Are you saying this stuff with a smile, standing tall, proud, and with a slight smirk?

"So, why did you move to X?" "Oh, my wife was doing her fellowship there." AND MOVE ON.

"Why did you do X for a career?" "I've always had a interest in fixing XYZ problems, and such and such naturally seemed to fit." AND MOVE ON. No mention that "Oh, my wife had a great job offer and we moved for her."

If you say "I did that because my wife...", you are demonstrating lower value. Become someone who is demonstrating higher value in word and deed.

You do you.

Your life. Live it your way. That's the point here. As long as you are in your frame there is no one that can judge you.

There will be some Red Pill men that will say you have to make tons of money. Be on the track to be the next Mr Universe. These things don't hurt, and they are things that any man can achieve if he puts his mind to it.

Thing is....they don't make a man red. I've said it before but I have seen millionaires, well paid ad execs, men with thier lives seemingly on track that can buy and sell whatever they want, and still they chase the one thing they can't buy/sell.

Happiness.

There is no such thing as brutal truth. There is just truth. It's brutal because we avoided it for so long, and telling yourself nicer things was easier. Women put thier heads down and hope things get better. They will work tirelessly at keeping status quo no matter what that is. Rarely do they build a place that gets them out. It's always the here and now. Tomorrow is tomorrow's problem.

Men build futures. We don't exist in what if, nor in the could be. This is where the truth hides. We don't tell ourselves stories because it makes it better, if the truth is really not desired then....say the bare minimum.

Smirk at her Laugh at yourself It's all bullshit in the end

None of us are getting out alive.

Why ask? You clearly have the answer already. Want reassurance that you can judge yourself properly?

you got it man, go getum

Your job (or "career" if you prefer) is not your life. Your life is your life; your job is just a part of that. If the moves gave you amazing experiences, focus on that - you moved for the adventure.

Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks? Seriously.

You don't even have to read the sidebar to answer that.

Post 1RM numbers on the big 5 lifts.

What have you read

Why does it matter that your story is 'heard' in order for you to get to work?
