內向男人,如何在社交場合生存?

Brother, do you define yourself as an introverted person? Or worse still, do you always say you are too 怕醜 to meet women?

 

If you do, I have a good news and bad news for you:


Good news = Introverted is okay, women don’t just want extraverted guys

Bad news = You need to get rid of your shyness

 

#1 What’s the difference?


Introverted = A person mostly concerned with his own thoughts/feelings, instead of external things. They gain energy by spending time with themselves.

 

Shy = Being reserved, nervous, 細膽 in the presence of other people

 

So shyness is the lack of comfort with other people -> weakness


But introversion is just a preference of how you spend time -> NOT weakness, it’s a strength in many writers/producers/leaders

 

#2 So how do you be more extroverted & outgoing when you feel nervous?

 

Simple exercise to develop extroverted muscle: When you leave your house and walk, do a mental note of the things you see.

 

E.g. How many 7-11/OK can you find along the way? Taxi? Suited up?

 

When you do this, you’re forcing yourself to look outside yourself and thus training your brain to think in a more extroverted way.

 

#3 Advanced Exercise: When you speak, incorporate the phrase
“I love/Iike …… + [observation based on 5 senses]

 

e.g. the music in this bar … + [reason] e.g. because Maroon 5 is really my favorite band!”

 

It sounds silly, but the point is this forces you to get out of your head to find sth in the environment! (+ being positive, talk about things you enjoy)

 

Try this everyday for 1 week and see how more extroverted you become!

點解被拒絕咁hurt?有咩可以做…

Do you know why rejection is such a BIG FEAR for us?

 

If you want to study more, you can watch a Ted Talk by Guy Winch “Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid”

 

Reason #1 Rejection feels so bad because it PHYSICALLY HURTS.

MRI study: The part of your brain that lights up when a man gets rejected = same part of the brain that lights up when he experiences physical pain.

 

So rejection = being punched/stabbed, your body tells you it HURTS.

 

Reason #2 Our brains are wired this way because of evolution

Back in caveman days, if a man gets rejected by social circle = he is alone to defend against wild animals = unlikely to survive

 

So evolution makes us FEEL the rejection pain so that we change our behavior and remain in the tribe to stay alive.

 

Reason #3 We tend to imagine that everyone notices our rejection/ppl are watching, thus exaggerates the painful experience.

 

In reality, most ppl are just stuck in their own thinking, and that’s why no one actually pays attention to what you do.

 

Solution #1: Stop all self-criticism

Stop saying “she doesn’t like me/ damn I said sth wrong/ I am not good enough.”

=> Instead, reframe this as “Haha, she likes me and that’s why she gives me shit tests.” Have this “she likes me”frame 100% time.

 

Solution #2 Write down the Top 10 Qualities every day

– Reinforce and speak out aloud everyday why you are WORTH IT to build your self-esteem.

 

Solution #3: Proactive Socializing

– Always be meeting new people, new women. Don’t be passive and let your frds find you. Be proactive weekly so that you always find people who accepts and loves you.

可謂真正強者?自信?氣場?(Q&A)

Q&A: Hi   Man 神

1.我記得之前有一集講過 男人其中有一種好重要嘅特質 就係 being edge!

我想問點為知 being edge? 有冇一啲具體做法?

Challenge  , Teasing 呢啲 算唔算?

呢一兩個月我keep 住咁做  

我發覺自己咁做 好似唔係好太理人感受

有時仲會得罪人  整到人嬲 系臉

覺到依家個好似 有啲 針鋒相對  好勇鬥狠

咄咄逼人  不斷係咁同人challenge  teasing 有時可能由講下笑語氣 會升到做大家火藥味濃

同埋我咁做 好似多左人唔鐘意我, 可以點解決???

 

因為以前無論同男女朋友相處 我自己做法大家相處都係平淡啲  加少少fun 無細水長流果隻

但朋友互相之間就冇challenge

因為我知人最唔鐘意就係比人否定

所以就算真係有啲野唔認同 我都會笑下扮認同   自己知到自己點諗就算

除非係一啲 唔可以退讓 或者超越左自己底線嘅野 我就會say no

 

但都唔係 會主動走去挑人機  撩是鬥非果隻 因為我覺得係自卑嘅人先會咁做

 

所以我應該點平行 being edge 呢樣野??

 

1b.  Man 神 其實上面講果樣野 關唔關氣場強弱問題 。

我發覺 氣場太強 冇人埋身 冇乜朋友 就算有 人地都會好驚你 就算相處落都功功敬敬  

交唔到心。  

太弱 就會得唔到人 尊重

有冇啲咩標準去 做好佢

 

1c.  雖然人係群體生物

我發覺有時有太多獨立思考  同人唔同

又會比人 唔接納  排擠

一有意見分歧 就否定人   繼而同發生好多衝突

但又要互相幫助去生活 成長

係群體 生活 又要有獨立思考 唔從眾

我應該表達?  一旦發生衝突又應該點?

又可以點平行??

 

2 . Man 神  呢排最近都不斷意識去 要自己同不同嘅陌生人 講野 交流 have fun

但我發覺自己 背後嘅動機 唔係咁好???

因為想改變自己  好似揾呢啲人黎過橋

黎training 自己

 

2b其實細個小朋友 個時係咪冇咁多自我意識   思考 ?? 小朋友 做事有冇動機??

細個嘅性格  行為模式 做事手法 好似都係人地叫我 做從而形成    今日我嘅性格

 

依家我要刻意改變我嘅行為 同思想

去令佢變成一種信念同集慣  從而重新塑造自己理想嘅性格特質

 

我發覺自己呢家大個左成日會探討自己 或者人地 做事背後個動機

一大班人玩,如何防止尷尬出現?冇信心勝任工作,點算?

Yo!我喺MTFU嘅Man神啊,激發男士雄性力量,感受更多愛與激情!

 

Q: Hi! man神 今日想問關於人生QandA。

 

小弟睇左man啲片一段時間,獲益良多,知道要進步就要踏出first step同埋要take action。所以我就喺大學宿舍申請做導師(同時我自己都係大學學生),喺黎緊9月開始工作。

 

呢份職位主要目的係帶動新住hall嘅同學,令佢地多啲參與同投入hall既活動,可以喺hall認識更多朋友,最後有個難忘既hall life。

 

而我作為宿舍導師,就要結合一班各自唔認識既同學(情況有啲似orientation camp既組爸媽)。

 

正因為呢個任務咁有意義,所有我就申請左呢個post,希望可以幫人add value。不過實際上嘅我,都未有信心去勝任呢個post, 所以以下有幾條問題想問:

 

1 因為我冇乜信心,一直擔心黎緊會做得唔好,覺得自己能力未夠。所以想知可以點消除心中恐懼,去做一件自己冇信心勝任嘅任務?

 

===> Every NEW task makes you nervous and doubt yourself.

But you just DO IT despite of fear because then you’ll realize you didn’t die at all.

 

2 我本身係個內向既人,有時同唔識嘅人傾計,會有唔知有咩話題既尷尬情況出現。所以想問可以點對住一大班人進行fun同埋有內容既對話,防止尷尬嘅moment出現?同埋點自然地結合呢班各自唔認識既同學?

===> Don’t take about religion or politics

 

===> Best is Not to just talk, but to engage them with fun GROUP activities.

 

===> Alos, deadair only means TENSION is increasing, use it as a tool for great vibes/atmosphere.

 

3 點建立召喚力去帶領呢班同學去投入hall life?

 

===> Lead by example. Be social yourself first and invite people to join you, and show people that they can have a great fun life if they follow what you do.

 

===> Also understand that NOT everyone will want to have a fun social life in halls.

===> Figure out the MOTIVATION of why they join hall life, have a 1-2-1 chat to see what they NEED or want.

 

4 另外,如果比宿舍學生開玩笑,而踏到底線時,應該點作出回應?

===> Tell them in PRIVATE that certain things are NOT COOL.

Don’t confront them in public to help “save their face”.

你的學生A上

點解諗住溝女就溝唔到女?如何變得堅強?

Yo!我喺MTFU嘅Man神啊,激發男士雄性力量,感受更多愛與激情!

 

Q: Hi Man神,我係Dee,長話短說,最近工作壓力大,精神攰令自己冇心情同人傾偈,唔太想向人提供價值,感覺被吸走能量而不斷抱怨

 

但我的朋友話成熟男人應該要堅強,即使工作再攰,在見面當下都要做到最好令人滿意跟自己相處

 

如果係咁Man神,我可以點樣訓練先會令自己變得堅強呢?

================

#1 Life Experience

#2 Train your body & mind for strength, protect your mindset everyday

================

Oh Man,原來領袖係要開放對每個人都要對話交流,我仲好似「活在自己世界中」,只跟有興趣的人說話,難怪我在團體的受歡迎程度唔太高

 

But有件事想請教你,其實無論係咩關係,包括溝女,都係先從識人交朋友嘅心態開始嗎?因為我每逢帶住溝女心態面對陌生嘅女仔總係好唔自在

Man神多謝你用心解答我的問題 – Dee

================

#1 The more strangers you talk to, the higher chance you will be successful

#2 Attractive Social Mindset is always:

– Have FUN for yourself first

– Bring that FUN and positive emotions to others

– See who’s OPEN to connect with and see if they meet your STANDARDS (i.e. You QUALIFY them).

[人生問題] 對老母極反感,點算!如何由男孩成長為男人?

Are you annoyed with your parents at home or caretakers?

 

Do you feel that their negativity are drowning you?

 

Do you feel misunderstood when you’re growing yourself but those who love you are not supporting you or bringing you up?

 

I want every brother to listen this Q with patience, compassion and curiosity.

 

DO NOT judge this brother’s behavior OR the woman’s behavior and impose your moral values on them.

 

Think deeper about the underlying problem inside.

=================

Hi Man神,溝女問題暫時解決曬 , 家陣我同屋企人相處都好有問題,尤其是我老母! 我對老母的行為極其反感並盡力克制言語。

 

是咁的,我老母嘅 personalties 仲衰過 typical 嘅港女,放完工返到屋企淨係識「怨」,又鬧類似「我好攰呀」「俾我抖下啦」、「好撚煩呀」…

 

我心諗屌你老母係人都有壓力㗎啦,呢個世界得你一個有壓力㗎,我同老豆都不斷受你氣已經壓力唔小啦,你生我出嚟唔係畀你做沙包、情緒垃圾桶,仲挑戰我底線,好心老母抹大自己隻狗眼睇清楚自己做緊乜先啦,臭柒!

 

就係因為咁我就有一次鬧佢,點知佢幾日唔睬我,好啦,唔睬就唔睬對我冇乜影響, 仲撚離譜嘅係瞓覺半夜三更發脾氣,係咁打張床

 

仆你個街發脾氣就死出去啦,唔好返屋企喇,想訓番好覺都唔得,明知問題喺你度仲喺到掋賴,on撚99冇藥醫!

 

好啦算啦, 見佢冇得救我都廢事理佢. 前幾日先火都嚟,喂大佬,我去圖書館溫書有乜問題,仲叫「陪我啦」,咁我當然冇理佢同堅持出街,跟住佢又嬲。

 

屌,我前幾日陪你唔夠?你真係無野做?夜晚仲喺張床度喊,你咪喊囉,自我中心到咁嘅人就係咁,you are the goodest.

 

所以呢幾日我都同佢冇講嘢,同埋一眼都唔望佢唔 show佢,Man神,我以後都唔想同佢講嘢、來往,

 

佢再嚟料我真係直頭會當自己無咗吖媽,同一個性格衰到咁撚樣嘅人一齊我好辛苦…… 唔知你有冇類似經歷?

 

Thx for reading my email. – M

=================

There’s so much happening in this situation and I can totally how much PAIN you are going through as a teenager or young adult.

 

I can absolutely relate to you because I have experienced similar feeling when you feel like your parents/loved ones are bring you down, spreading negativity and they DON’T understand you.

 

Here’s what I want to share and what I learn over the years.

 

#1 If we truly don’t care about someone, we would naturally be apathetic about their behaviors.

 

The reason you, me or others feel PISSED, ANGRY, ANNOYED by our caretakers’ behaviors is because deep down we still love them…

 

we still care about them and that’s why we feel so FRUSTRATED when they behave in a way that we don’t like, and when we know that they can DO MUCH BETTER than they could at that moment.

 

So M, I believe you still care about your mother, otherwise you wouldn’t have accomplished her.

 

It’s just that her behaviors are negatively bringing you down and you’re struggling to balance loving her and loving yourself.

 

#2 I don’t know why your mum is always bitching, moaning, whining about life, and it is SAD that she isn’t taking responsibility with her EMOTIONS and SITUATIONS and woman up to grow to become a better, stronger, more capable her.

 

Maybe she has tried, but it’s still not enough.

 

However, despite she needs to woman up and become a leader of her life, she is screaming her shit because she ALSO is in DEEP PAIN.

 

She is crying for help and she needs someone she trusts to help her, and that’s why she naturally wants her husband and son to listen to her and understand her, although she isn’t aware that constant BMW is NOT how you solve your shit problems.

 

#3 As a mature grown up human being, we all need to understand one truth:

 

Before we seek to be understood, we need to first understand.

 

So many people are desperate to be understood by others, which is natural, that they forget to FIRST UNDERSTAND OTHERS.

 

Most people are so NEEDY that they need others to validate/accept themselves that they forget to validate/accept/love themselves first.

 

Thus, if you want to learn how to influence others, first try to understand them without judgement BEFORE you try to make them understand you.

 

#4 The very sad truth is that sometimes those who love us the most are those who fuck us up the most, even when they have good intentions for us.

 

To grow up from a boy to a man, it’s in our human psyche that we NEED to go through an initiation stage,

 

where we CUT the TIES with our primary caretakers, be taken away by the elderly figures and be CHALLENGED in the tough world, AND THEN come back with a new identity as a transformed man.

 

Especially if you want to take care of your family,

 

you MUST first leave your home/parents ASAP, build a life/kingdom for yourself, before you can give back to them in greater/bigger/better way.

 

Thus if you want to grow faster to become a man, you must find a way to LEAVE HOME as your #1 priority, learn to build a life for yourself, before you can support your caretakers.

 

So you might consider LOVING your loved ones from a distance for a while,

 

to protect your mindset/environment when you’re in a vulnerable stage of growing and building your life,

 

and THEN contribute back and spending more time with them when you’re successful.

 

I know this message is controversial,

 

I know this pill is tough to swallow for many parents,

 

I know it’s easy to judge this behavior as 不孝 to many traditional families,

 

But this is CRUCIAL step for boys to grow up as men,

 

that’s been a LONG ritual 成人禮 that has been forgotten by modern society.

[成功人生] 唔係高富帥點溝女!家庭背景令你自卑?

Have you ever worried about not being able to attract girls richer, more social value, more successful than you?

What do you do if your current social skill isn’t as good as the girl?

Do you feel shameful about your family background that you don’t want to show your authentic true self?

====================

Hello! Man神,我讀緊書,至今A0。我一直都唔敢溝比自己更有錢、條件更好嘅女仔,試過約女仔去街,但係話題唔多,

 

我見識同社交技巧好弱,亦唔想俾女仔知道自己太多,對自己的家庭背景感到自卑,將自己真實一面顯露出來會更自卑,點先可以克服呢樣野? thanks

====================

 

#1 Your current belief system = A value of a person is determined by your income.

 

You think 『賺得多錢先至代表你有價值』, therefore you are INSECURE that your girl is richer/more successful/social than you.

 

You are trying to COMPETE with her.

 

This is a common problem especially for dudes from the PUA cold approach game world.

 

Because your values system, what you stand for in life, what’s your purpose, your ideals, what meaning in life is NEVER determined.

 

You just try to cover things up with PUA tricks, lines, routines.

 

Right now, you are trying to earn more money/learn game to FEED YOUR EGO. -> i.e. your EGO that needs women/others to like you in order for you to feel worthy and good enough. E.g. show pics to your guy friends how hot your gfs are so that you feel like “I am the man”

 

In short, you feel 自卑 because you are NOT born in a rich, successful, socialable family.  

 

That’s why you don’t feel VALUABLE as a human being in society’s value system.

 

That’s why you feel SHAMEFUL about your background and personal history.

 

Here’s what I invite you to do:

 

Instead of buying into this society’s value that you need to be rich, successful, famous, sociable in order to be WORTHY,

 

OR the PUA’s value that you must fuck hundreds of girls and have thousands of 女兵 in order to prove that you are successful with women… which is only a small % of the world population,

 

think and determine YOUR OWN VALUES SYSTEM!

 

Do you know why you feel TORN right now?

 

It’s because you’re trying to FIT IN into society’s values 高富帥 or PUA’s values 食女無數.

 

You are shirking your worldview into what is desirable in the context of nightclub or the general media propaganda of 有女有樓有車有家庭。

 

You are trying to give up your own values to get pussy, to get success, to get recognized.

 

Thus, if people value money/pussy MORE THAN being a good person, of course you are always losing their game.

 

***So think about YOUR OWN VALUES SYSTEM.***

 

Values are relative, be careful of what values system you’re adopting.

 

E.g. In nightclubs, hot girls always have higher value than rich men! 

 

So think deeply what values you stand for, what’s important to you in life and what’s the MEANING of your life is.

 

=> Having a Passion  

 

Life Purpose will give you MEANING in life, it GROUNDS you so that you don’t  feel lost.

 

Until you have your own values system and life purpose, you will always feel insecure/inferior about yourself and you don’t feel worthy/good enough for certain girls.

 

For ref: Watch “賺得少, 真係因為你對社會毫無貢獻?”

[成功人生] 點解呢個年代更容易成功!?

#1 我哋都活係一個『即食』嘅年代。

 

大部分嘅年青人都係想搵捷徑去成功,或者想搵最短時間最簡單嘅方法得到佢哋想要嘅嘢,無論係賺錢溝女定係做任何嘢。

 

咁所以喺呢一個主張你『付出最少得到最大回報』嘅意識形態裏面,男人嘅雄性力量/masculinity其實就係啱啱哋被蠶食緊。

 

#2 點解?

 

原因就係因為我哋masculine energy嘅頂峰,就係處於係一個被挑戰/被challenge嘅狀態裏面。

 

如果你一味容許自己hea,一味畀更多藉口自己點解做唔到某樣嘢,你唔單止係變成緊一個懶到爆嘅value sucker,

 

你身為男人嘅masculine edge更加將會被慢慢殲滅,最後變成一個一無所有嘅loser。

 

但係你要記住:我哋之所以不斷俾challenge自己,並唔係純粹去追求下一個目標;

 

你真正要push自己嘅原因,係因為喺呢個過程之中你將會塑造自己成為一個乜嘢嘅人。

 

#3 意思即係話:你每個禮拜花三四日去做gym,並唔係純粹想keep fit練大隻啲;

 

而係因為你係斷練緊自己嘅commitment,自己嘅堅持去做好某件事。

 

又例如你學習男女吸引力/兩性關係等等嘅學問,

 

並唔係純粹想抄牌屌西,跟住將所有被你『狠狠調教過』嘅女伴當作戰利品畀其他唔成熟嘅靚仔歡呼喝采;

 

而係因為你想成為一個更加明白男女intimacy同感情嘅人,

 

令到你能夠同你嘅partner製造既有激情又有深切連繫嘅quality relationship。

 

#4 咁所以正當咁多男士墮落緊嘅時候,我邀請巴打你記住:

 

雖然你做以下我分享嘅嘢你係會馬上突圍而出,但係記住我哋人生唯一嘅對手就係我哋自己。

 

咁所以以下有兩樣嘢我想巴打你帶走:

 

#5 第一,請你自己選擇點樣去challenge自己,

 

無論係健康上,財富上,親密關係上,性愛上,社交上等等嘅areas。

 

你依家會唔會覺得自己嘅人生某一方面係好停滯不前呢?

 

如果你嚟緊一年你只能夠達成一個目標,你喺邊一個area進步係會令到你各方面嘅生活質素都有最大提升呢?

 

要記住:好多時舒適範圍唔單止係講緊你做嘅嘢,comfort zone更加係講緊你生存嘅環境,

 

咁所以有時自己一個去旅行係一啲非常好嘅個人成長嘅方法。

 

#6 第二,喺呢一刻嘅你,你覺得有乜嘢係綁住緊你隻腳,令到你唔能夠遠走高飛呢?

 

呢啲綁住你嘅anchors,好多時都係一啲你身邊嘗試破壞你夢想嘅人;

 

除咗係一啲故意攻擊你追隨自己道路嘅人,有時候好可惜嘅係一啲愛錫你但係過份干預你嘅人。

 

咁所以如果你唔能夠完全斬斷關係,你就要學識點樣有選擇性地 limit/限制自己同佢接觸嘅時間。

 

#7 Anyway,最後想講嘅就係:

 

女人喺被一啲有目標,有purpose,有passion,有衝勁,識得自學反思去改善自己嘅男人。

 

咁所以當你唔再浪費自己時間,當你不斷挑戰自己能力邊緣嘅時候,

 

你就能夠好快喺事業上感情上突圍而出,並且同時得到你想要嘅理想人生。
