I've been thinking for a while how mental illnesses and destructive behaviours seem to correlate deeply with the pain that comes from being blue pilled.
I don't wish to offend anyone here. It's just a thesis.
But certainly my darkest times were either with a woman, or after being burned by one. Depression, anxiety. Coping through alcoholism, drugs, fights.
There's none of that now. I simply appreciate that I made it out alive and tend to my life.
At times, I notice the first twinges of loneliness and despair, that little voice which tells you you ain't good enough to be loved by a woman.
And then I remember whence it came. Ego, biology, the pull of the herd. And I also remember what will happen, beyond any doubt, if I were to allow myself to fall back into thinking I need a woman to 'complete me'.
And I get back to my day. And I can't imagine ever again considering myself as 'mentally ill', because I chose Life, and truth. Which means I simply get on with things.
I did not stay stuck in fantasy, and overly connected with people, which is where most of our pain seems to stem from.
It is also my contention that most people are essentially living under a permanent gaslighting and cognitive dissonance, which must surely lead to mental issues. Which MGTOW largely avoid.
Prisons are also full of completely blue pill men.
Interested to know your thoughts.
