What most people fail to realize, is that finding a purpose isn't as half as complicated as we
make it seem.

In fact anyone asking: How do I find purpose in life, or how do I give meaning to
my life.. Is simply wondering what beneficial use they could spend their time on..

Your meaning in life comes down to very few questions:

-What are you good at?

-What do you enjoy doing?

-How can the answers above have an impact on YOUR world?

That's it.

Notice that the common denominator here is: YOU.

Do not get it wrong. Your purpose should serve YOU.

The truth is, everyone's purpose is taking care of themselves.

More often than not, people will hide behind fake causes that do not directly involve them and pursue them as if it gave meaning to their lives.

That, my friend, is escapism and irresponsibility.

The moment your purpose stops involving yourself and own well-being

Know and realize that you are hiding from something else. Most people who dedicate themselves to causes not involving them are either broken or hopeless.

They prefer feeling useful to someone else.

Now getting back to YOU

It's very easy to identify within a group and forge your identity and purpose around the group's interest. But it's wrong. None of those people will keep you company in your grave.

Stop seeking purpose in others and understand that your purpose is you.

# The Social Skills Playbook: Part 1 - Self-Confidence

You’re either one or the other and this post concerns both.

Person A: “Why would I need to improve my social skills? I hate people!”
or “I’m an introvert, I don’t enjoy social events so I don’t need this”

Well you are wrong, Person A.

Being unable to nurture and maintain positive and good relationships; while enjoying your time around other people will inevitably increase your anxiety levels (hence the whole concept of social anxiety). But not only.

It will prevent you from seizing many opportunities that might come from simply meeting more people.

Person B: “I need to get better at dealing with people”
”I want to work on my social skills but don’t know where to start”

You realize the importance of social skills, Person B.
So you will most likely value the information in this post more than the above example.

but as I said, you both need it.

Ok friends enough with introductions.

Because I got you.

As I said many times, self-awareness is the core component of social skills.

That’s why this will mainly be an introspective work, in other words you’re going to have to ask yourself some questions and answer them in the most honest way possible.

That’s where we start, because if we’re going to work on something we first need to find the problem we need to fix.

For how to fix them, this is going to be an ongoing series where I get more in detail as we advance.

Anyway, with this out of the way, let’s start.

First and foremost, what you need to understand is that there are 3 main sides of communication, which is the core of what we’ll cover.

- Nonverbal (body language, micro expressions, postures etc...)
- Verbal (assertiveness, choice of words, tone, listening abilities, rhetorical skills, short answers, openers etc..)

At the end of the day, being socially skilled mainly means being able to communicate properly and convey your ideas while building positive relationships.

What means?

The most essential thing you should work on is your self-confidence.

No matter how good you are at communicating your ideas, you will always fail to do so if you don’t have the balls to take the initiative and talk.

But it’s not just about verbal communication.

It also concerns your posture, the volume and tone of your voice and the overall ability to impose your presence regardless of the content of what you’re going to say.

This is criminally underrated.

This is the very reason some seemingly stupid people can manage to impose their presence without ever adding value to any of the conversations they take part of.

As powerful as what you say to people with your words; your overall body language can come and hinder your communication skills if it does not match your speech.

Just as it can do the opposite and reinforce an initially weak choice of words.

You can get away with a lot just by being confident in the way you conduct yourself.

Now questions are:

1- How to improve that?

2- How to practice that?

The answer (to both):

Put yourself out there and reflect on your experiences.
As long as you won’t be exposing yourself to uncomfortable situations you.

You can practice with a friend or relative but IS THAT REALLY EFFECTIVE?

The answer is NO.

It won’t be because you’ll be comfortable in that situation.

”Then how should I practice?”

The barista is your guinea pig.

People are inherently self-absorbed.

I don’t mean this in a negative sense.

People just prioritize themselves and get caught in the busyness of their own lives.

This makes finding people to help brush up your social fluency difficult.

Or does it?

Luckily, there is one segment of society that is especially suited to help you practice your social skills.

In fact, they don’t really have much of a choice.

I’m referring to service people.

Baristas. Cab drivers. Cashiers. The grocery bag boy. Waiters. Doormen. Valets.

Why are they so suited to practicing social skills with?

First of all, they are quite literally paid to be nice to you.

Their job performance depends on their customer service skills, and if they want to keep their jobs, they have to be courteous to you.

This alone should eliminate the fear you have of crashing and burning in any social interaction, because it’s their job to prevent that and probably laugh at your jokes.

You’ll see that crashing and burning is never really that bad, and people move on quickly.

Second of all, they don’t have any choice!

They’re a captive audience behind the counter or cash register.

They are usually stuck being stationary in a position for long periods of time, and for those who have held the above jobs… you know that it’s not the most thrilling life.

Most of the time, they are bored out of their minds, so having someone engage them will be a positive experience for them. You will make their day pass faster and just give them something to do.

You might be the only one to treat them with respect and show actual interest in them as a person, which
would undoubtedly make you the highlight of their day.

In other words, they’ll be glad to talk to you.

So now that we know WHY service people are great to practice with… what benefits do you actually get
by doing so?

It’s pretty simple, actually.

You get unlimited shots at the goal.

If you’re out at a bar or networking event, you only have one shot at making the right impression.

If you fall flat on your face, as will inevitably happen from time to time, guess what? That was your one shot at
the goal and you need to find someone else to practice with.

With service people, you can test different stories, reactions, phrases, greetings, facial expressions, and so on.

Unless you offend them in a deeply personal way, they’ll still be courteous to you, but you can gauge how positive their reactions are to all of your behaviors to know what works best.

You can continuously improve and hone your skills.
You can see your progress with future interactions.

As you see their reactions change, you can fine-tune what you're doing and keep stepping up your game.

Essentially, you’re in a safe environment to practice and polish your social skills without fear of any judgment or consequences.

More than that, you can learn to read people, process their signals, and calibrate your interactions to different types of people.

This is a process that takes trial and error, but you can speed it up exponentially by engaging with service people.

It is inevitable that you will suffer betrayals, in relationships or in friendships

Instead of resenting your choices and regretting the actions you took, derive lessons and learning from your experience and move on

If you create the feelings of bitterness in your heart, then only you are going to suffer

Your body, mind and heart is going through those rough negative emotions, not anyone else's

There is a strong possibility that the betrayal happened due to your own naivety

You trusted someone who is not worthy of your trust

Understand, what caused this circumstance, and pledge that you will never let that event happen, ever again

Please understand that everything in life is about "interests" for people

Honour, dignity, integrity, these virtues are lost

Also, you can't really blame people all the time if you are a victim of somebody who is seeking his own interest

Why should they sabotage their own interests for your sake?

Just because they're your "friend"?

If you believe in this emotional rhetoric, then please note that your delusion is unfathomable

No one cares about you my friend, apart from your family

Very few people actually go on to become your true friends or allies

A good metric for judgment: if you had a car accident at night, ask yourself, genuinely

How many of your "true", "best friends" would come to save you?

You already know the answer, right?

Probably even the "close" ones you are spending countless hours on aren't actually worthy of your time and efforts

Side note: ruthlessly weed those out who encourage and promote mediocrity

They are snakes in disguise

Reality is extremely nuanced, there is nothing purely black or white

Therefore you must understand all of these points

You don't have to cut ties from all of your friends or allies

Never display the feelings of hurt, resentment and betrayal even when you are feeling pain

There is no need to create unnecessary enemies, it is counterproductive for your own interests

You don't know in what way they can be of your use. Wait for the right opportunity to strike.

If they can pursue their interests, why don't you?

Purely altruistic approach to life will destroy you.

This is not an exaggeration.

Ideal situation is where you don't have to play these games anymore

That is a consequence of self reliance.

Reduce your external needs, and become self sufficient in as many aspects as possible

Expectations from others can only lead to disappointment.

The Worst Piece I've Wrote.

Disclaimer:

What I’m about to share with you is honestly pure evil. I want you to be very careful when applying what follows because if used wrongly, it might be of negative impact to your entourage.

Every time I post about how to protect yourself from Manipulation, I get comments asking to learn more about the opposite (how to manipulate).

I don’t like this. This is not the type of content I want to be sharing, but I believe everyone should know this manipulation technique because it prevents betrayal. The topic of today is complex so follow carefully.

Please keep in mind that while this is highly manipulative, it is still to protect yourself from betrayal and not to do harm around you. We’re going to be talking about using people’s insecurities against them here.

I’m sure some of you will use this for the wrong ends but that’s not my responsibility.

Enough, let’s start.

--—————

Part 1: The Danger

Sometimes all a manipulator wants is validation.

The most dangerous type of people are validation seekers.

Because they are seemingly harmless, even pathetic to a certain extent.

But “seemingly” is a keyword here.

And it is the very fact that makes them pathetic that also makes them dangerous.

Let me explain.

This type of people crave attention and validation.

For that, they are ready to do anything.

Now, the problem is, if you’re someone that is compassionate and empathizing, you will put yourself at risk.

Because you will be tempted to give them the attention they crave, and you will befriend them just because they tried to get closer to you.

That’s where it gets dangerous.

When a validation seeker gets your attention and care, their game is over.

They will no longer be as pleasant as they are, they will show their true face.

After all, they already got what they wanted, so why keep putting in effort?

So, best scenario is as follows:

They become unpleasant very quickly, you unfriend them and take your distances.

They don’t get time to get too close to you.

Problem is, if as we just said, you’re someone who is too compassionate and feels for others, you will have a hard time realizing the change in character. You will think of excuses and rationalize their behavior. They’re your friend now, so you have to be understanding right?

And you couldn’t be more wrong.

Here comes the worst case scenario:

They don’t become unpleasant.

They keep a decent relationship with you without being as needy, kind nor are they seeking your validation as hard.

Now you might even start thinking that you fixed them.

And again, you couldn’t be more wrong.

I say this is the worst case scenario because the closest this type of person gets to you, the more dangerous it gets for you.

Problems arise when other people become involved.

As it’s in their nature, they will try and get the new people’s validation.

You guessed that right.

They will do so at your expense.

Remember that these people are borderline obsessed.

The minor problem is: This is in fact the case for MOST people.

The major problem is: None of them knows it.

(Refer to my thread on traits of manipulators)

In short, having such people around you puts you at risk of betrayal

Having given them your validation, you become expandable.

They might steal from you, lie to you, lie about you or expose your secrets.

Any type of trust that you put in them, any information they know about you might be used against you.

For the sole purpose of getting validation from someone else.

In a way, this unconsciously leverage your own compassion against you.

Understand that these people have no specific goal nor poor intentions.

All they want is the maximum possible attention and validation.

They live for it.

Their whole life revolves around being accepted.

As I said, they will do whatever it takes to get it. The problem is that it goes unnoticed, because this is not a palpable and reasonable goal.

As a logical and sane person, their motives will not be easy for you to determine.
13🔥7
All you will think of them is that they are pathetic, innocent and need help.

Now the question is:

How do you avoid falling in this trap?

Part 2: The Solution

The whole concept of validation seeking stems from an insecurity.

Which is either a self-esteem issue and/or what is commonly referred to as fear of abandonment.

Often both.

The one thing that can be leveraged is that latter.

Because if you try and fix their self-esteem you fall in their trap.

Their fear of abandonment is so strong, that they cope by betraying you first (worst case), or walking away as soon as you start caring about them (best case).

This is what you can leverage against them.

What do they want? Validation.

What shouldn’t you give them? Validation.

The thing here is to give them validation the least frequently possible.

I know, I know this is evil but I told you at the start.

You need to understand that once you recognize this type of person for what they are, it might be already too late to go back.

Your only way out is by removing your affection, attention and validation.

Your goal should not be to get them to crave it again; but to simply extract yourself from this situation.

Ok I lied. Your goal is to make them crave it again.

That is how they won’t betray your trust.

Because you will never give them enough of it.

By juggling between giving attention and indifference, you mess with their settings.

They don’t know what to do to get what they want.

In which case there are two possibilities:

- They stick around and do everything you want
- They walk away in despair and disappointment

If you’re evil, you will seek the first one.

If you’re a sane person that is not going to use this information negatively, you will push them to the second one.

Do with this whatever you want, I was nothing but a messenger and bear no responsibility for how you use this.

Dealing With People Who Talk Behind Your Back

Your first instinct might be to confront the person about the things you've heard they've been saying about you.

This is strategically incorrect. If a person speaks ill behind your back, it means they're afraid to say those things to your face/in your presence. In some cases they may be trying to tarnish your image with falsehoods so they go around poisoning people's minds concerning you.

The best approach is to make sure they know that you know the things they've been saying, without you confronting them.

A slight change of attitude that's almost undetectable (except for the guilty) is how you go about this.

When someone speaks ill of you, they wait to see if you've heard the things they said, maybe the wind blew it by happenstance word reached you. They are especially observant of any slight changes in how you relate with them.

Guilt eats them and they want to know if the judge is aware of their crimes.

Make sure you display this slight change in attitude, and when you notice them getting uncomfortable, act like that's strange; like you don't expect them to be icked out for no reason.

This sends a clear message to the perpetrator that you're not the type of person to react to things quickly, first of all, and secondly that they could fuck things up real good and not know that you've caught up with them except you wanted them to know.

Were it that you confronted them at first, they'd rightfully assume you're the reactive type and that were shit to occur they'd know quickly if you're aware or not.

Knowing someone could be aware of your bullshit and say nothing about it creates this air of terror about them. You never know what they know, about what you've said concerning them, about YOU, about your skeletons in the closet. You're left guessing.

This mystery worries people a lot. They'll try to make up for it, try to win you over, try to get on your good side.

When they think of you, they'll be unsettled. All the while you give a smile, a knowing smile. But a communicative smile that says "I know what you did!"
