Pop into a clinic, get tested and they hand you some pills.
No fucking way. Once you know for sure you've got something, you're required by law to making a lot of awkward phone calls. But if you never get yourself tested, you're all good.
I'm putting my faith in the placebo effect on this one (as I do with most health related stuff); If you can convince yourself you haven't got anything, the body will take care of it. Probably.
@BeeSerious9 Gotta love a panel of unattractive women discussing "cat calling" and such. It reminds me of something I heard Joe Rogan say once, about how it's always the ugly girls that wants to decide what's going to happen to the pretty girls, despite them not even living in the same reality.
@Bozza Born-again virgin cards for you then, for deleting drunken posts.
Anyone who takes an interest in TRP - beyond just surface level LARPing or surface level criticism - understands that they are just abstracts
I wish that were true.
There are far too many tards who obsess over being "alpha sigma Epsilon bro" even past their introductory period.
Maybe, but the one things those meetings did get right is the anonymous part.
Oh boy, do I have a treat for you:
@Typo-MAGAshiv The Greek letters are fine imo. Anyone who takes an interest in TRP - beyond just surface level LARPing or surface level criticism - understands that they are just abstracts. But when I say "alpha" or "beta", you know approximately what I mean.
Swapping out OG terms for other terms doesn't get around the fact that you're describing something abstract, something not fully definable. It's really just pandering to people who aren't in it in good faith anyways.
Social intelligence dictates that you don't go around throwing out terms like "alpha" and "beta" unironically when speaking to normies. But within the constraints of this space, we know what "alpha" and "beta" means. And we are perfectly capable of taking those terms seriously without taking them literally.

@Mountainman No doubt you've been dealing with some heavy stuff lately. These things obviously affect a person - hopefully just for a while though.
I second @typo-MAGAshiv on No More Mr Nice Guy. That + When I Say No should get you well started on your people pleasing tendencies.
If your family dynamic has generally been dysfunctional/toxic (I realize the recent context is not normal), therapy might be worth considering as well. Mental scripts from our formative years tend to take deep roots in our psyche. They might not serve you well.
But also, just generally get things in order, and live a good life. Getting your own place sounds good. King of your own castle, and all that...God, I miss that peace (married w/ kids).
