Do affirmations work?

[lilhorizontal32]

like if I said to myself "I am X", X being confident, charismatic, good looking, everyone loves me etc. would it eventually go into my head and be accepted or is it cope?

I have tried affirmations for a few days at a time, but it felt like it wouldnt work so I stopped.
wondering if anyone here has any thoughts about them or if they've done them for longer stretches of time, and what results they got

I have read enough on them to be convinced there is something there

It's cope, you shouldn't have to tell yourself that.

External validation is everything

Bluepillers need to brutally be purged from this forum. Mods have their work cut out for them.

You just have to be mentally ill enough.

No it's the similar thing as self love.

You can't trick ur brain to make you more confident, you need validation externally to know you are doing something right. In the end telling yourself that doesn't matter until someone else besides your parents tells you that you are good looking, you are confident.

Telling yourself that everyone loves you is a lie and your brain will never cope with that unless you get validation externally.

It simply doesn't work it's just pure cope

One compliment won't change everything but it definitely will boost your confidence massively, multiple compliments will genuinely change you if you have been rejected socially your whole life.

I feel like all these supermodels are crushed on dopamine. They don't even need sex anymore they get the same amount of dopamine everyday from just posting a photo or going outside

True, if i was them I'd literally get dopamine rushes from just looking in the mirror after realizing how important looks are

I feel like gandy, O'Pry etc. Could live without sex they get so much validation irl by just stepping outside, and dopamine every 20 seconds

They work to change mental state not physical features but there are certain rules and it takes a very long time

 

[Celexawer]

Any effect will only be psychological not physical, cagefuel thread

Deluding yourself into being confident won't do anything if you're not physically attractive, it will just be viewed as "annoying confidence"
