This may be tangential but Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a good expression of how ones perception of the self can be a projection of their wants and needs from an outside source.
Gregor, the main character, finds himself turning into an insect, or parasite. He has provided for his family, but in finding himself turning into an insect he can no longer fill that role, and so the family start to notice this new change in Gregor.
That is to say, if he perceives himself to be a parasite subjectively then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, and then becomes objective to his family. If Gregor maintained his positive image to himself, the family would maintain the same view.
It is what you project outward that people see, and that begins with actualising yourself to what you want to see in yourself.

@Fawk_Face you made me remember a tv series called "skins" I watched as a kid a few years ago. There was a dude (called "Cook") who was the exact definition of alpha. Popular, with a zero fucks given attitude and hated by all the other betas.
I was a complete beta when I watched that series, but I deep down knew I wanted to become like that dude. And even if that's fiction, I can guarantee you it's 100% achievable in real life with hard work.
This is one video I've found if you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydd5q0_-kiy

it's as bad as trying to proselytize someone because again, it's a religion. and even if you convince one person somehow, what's it worth to you?
Well fuck me, you just made something click in my brain. Thanks bro.

@carnold03 exactly. sluts are just projecting their insecurities onto men who are sexually inexperienced. if you were a young woman who was a virgin, would you really want to have a guy who's been around the block? or someone with a track record of taking women seriously?

@destraht If she takes care of herself, late 20s is indistinguishable from early 20s

@tchower really who cares. i never get into political arguments anymore. it's as bad as trying to proselytize someone because again, it's a religion. and even if you convince one person somehow, what's it worth to you? it's not going to change the outcome of any elecions.
