Genuinely,
Comforting someone is probably one of the worst thing to do if only if you want them to improve as a human, (unless they're gonna rope then yes help ur friend).
From personal experience, people insulting me and making me feel like shit has done nothing but good for me it's simply only given me desire to improve as a person to prove them wrong. Being rated Ltn, ppl saying im boneless, I look like a girl, all just motivation for my ascension.
Comforting people only makes them feel secure with themselves, its the same reason there's so many fat people today because they're led to believe its completely fine bc muh body positivity
. This is why there isn't a single species of animals that has a high % of bf because their animal tribes aren't promoting being fat (with the exception of domesticated animals and animals using fat for survival: penguins, seals etc. etc) because these animals would fail to survive with the high body fat, so why do humans do the same?
Because of emotions and desire to make people feel competent, bluepilled ppl genuinely believe self-acceptance helps people improve despite LITERALLY DOING THE OPPOSITE why would anyone feel the need to improve if they're good the way they are.
If u plan on gaining an edge on someone however making them feel secure is a excellent strategy, if you and another guy are going for the same girl, bragging to the other dude about your slay stories and how ur making moves and advancements on said girl will only fuel them to improve as a person however without it they're oblivious to your successes they feel like they're atop the world and there isn't any threats or competition.
As someone who A: uses this frequently and B. has seen it happen first hand many times i strongly recommend not letting other people in on your successes if you're trying to gain an edge on them, your opposition underestimates then they have no fear and no need to get better/plan/prepare
theres probably some kind of sun tzu quote out there abt this too:
found one:
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
— Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Chapter 7: Maneuvering
this kinda brings me to my other point, when you do end up competing make sure you win so fiercely your opponent gives up, pretty self explanatory
"Male T varies in predicable ways both before and after competitive matches. First, athletes' T rises shortly before their matches, as if in anticipation of the competition" -Campbell et al. 1988; Booth et al. 1989
Chat Gpt TL;DR for you lazy worthless ppl:
Comforting people can hinder self-improvement by making them feel secure and unmotivated to change. Harsh criticism and being underestimated can fuel growth and competitiveness. Keeping your successes hidden can give you a strategic advantage, and when you strike, do it decisively—like Sun Tzu says, move like a thunderbolt.
