Confidence
Submit - Finally, when you’ve gotten enough sufficient
feedback and enough people agree with your belief, you’ll
finally accept that belief as FACT. From then on you’ll need
a VERY large amount of evidence and convincing otherwise
before you’ll reconsider the validity of that new belief.
So my first test of this system had me convincing myself that
I was very attractive by refusing to focus on anything that
was contrary to that belief system. If I ever encountered
something that was not in line with that belief – if someone
thought that I was unattractive, for example, or if I was
feeling week or undesirable – I had to believe that that
situation was simply an exception to the rule or the truth:
that I was fucking hot!
The next stage was to see if I could convince other people
that I was attractive. One day – I remember this very clearly
– I was chatting with a female friend of mine (not a girl I was
dating – I had a lot of trouble getting out of the friend zone
back then), and for some reason something I said came across
as slightly arrogant. I had never acted that way before and
so the girl stopped and said “You know, you think you’re hot
shit, don’t you?” I paused for a second, and then said “Yeah,
well…I am!”
