I’m not sure if anyone else is the same way, but here goes nothing. At the risk of sounding like a c~~~y, elitist, arrogant asshole, I have noticed throughout my life that I’m good at virtually everything that I do. Not from the beginning, but after a brief tutorial period and once I get the hang of it, I begin to excel to the upper echelons of pretty much anything. I feel like there may be a correlation between MGTOW personality types and fast learning curves. I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way about themselves. If you do, feel free to share it. If anyone wants to judge and say this is narcissistic/arrogant behavior or wants to challenge me on my claims, then go right ahead. I don’t give a f~~~. I’m not bragging, I just developed an immensely strong sense of confidence over the years based on my observations of me vs. “normal” people.
Observing myself learning new skills much faster than the average person, comparing my beginner technique to so called “pro’s”, etc. It has given me a lot of confidence over the years to say the least. It doesn’t matter if its taking up a new sport (I’ve been invited twice to be an instructor at 2 separate martial arts gyms – even though I was a beginner myself), cooking, painting, trying a new instrument, playing video games (been busting people’s asses at multiplayer FPS games all my life, I just went 50-4 in a recent game), etc. I just seem to have a talent for everything. I pick things up incredibly quick. I have no doubt in my mind that if I tried something completely foreign to me tomorrow, I would be “good” at it after a short period of time, and if I have a passion for it, I’ll be GREAT at it. Some of you might be thinking “Sure dude, maybe in YOUR delusional head you are good, but in reality you are probably s~~~ like most other people”. In response to that I would say that my criteria for determining my skill level is based off the standard that the “average” person is capable of achieving. If I can surpass the bar that “they” set time and time again, then maybe I’m not so delusional after all.
Now that the c~~~iness is out of the way, there are 2 questions I have. As I said earlier this isn’t to brag about my athleticism, attention span, or natural common sense – its to learn. I want to know who else feels this way about themselves and if there is some sort of real correlation to people like us. All my life I’ve always felt I was a step ahead of everyone else. Things I often talk/think about come to fruition when everyone else wasn’t even thinking of it being possible. It reminds me of the 15k MGTOW men and early adopters of the MGTOW philosophy compared to the BILLIONS of other beta’s who still haven’t woken up yet, but someday will – years after we did. I just want to know if there is a direct connection between men like us and the ability to have special talent or a knack for foresight, which is an invaluable gift.
The 2nd question: I would like to know how you guys feel about my attitude towards this. Some might say people like me are arrogant pricks who deserves a dose of reality. I understand those sentiments completely. Which is why I’d like to know if its better to embrace these qualities and be proud of them (at the risk of isolating myself), or to remain humble and patient with those who are NOT as talented. Sometimes I can have real patience issues with “slower” people which can drive me to the brink of insanity. I’m the type who would kick you off my team in a heart beat if you are not pulling your own weight. Yes I can be an asshole and probably many other things too, but at the end of the day I DO get good results with whatever it is I choose to do. I can guarantee you that, asshole or not. I do have the tendency to be a little harsh on people who don’t deliver to my expectations and I feel this can lead to people not wanting to be around me due to feeling pressured or thinking that I’m a dick. I don’t really give a f~~~ about the “slower” people feeling this way, because I don’t want them near me either. But I do care about others.
Maybe some MGTOW here can teach me how to better balance the 2 sides and be more understanding of people regardless of talent level, while also embracing any gifts I possess and being proud and confident.
