The more you truly grow in life, the more pain and distress you'll feel from time to time

If you are a rotter; you have an easier life than any high functioning guy.

When you actually grow past your previous self- sever attachment to comforts, become more honest with yourself about what you want, and start to do what's necessary even if it takes painful effort and you are afraid of it...

You go through a time where you must shed your past ways of thinking and experiencing the world...ie rationalizations.

This time is filled with angst and suffering...you literally feel like you're vulnerable and dying. You are terrified because you CAN'T go back. You are FORCED to make the effort now and even take dangerous risks.

This is the side of success that people don't understand. The men who are successful (who are functioning every day at a high level) have WAY tougher and riskier lives than you.

I don't think it feels subjectively as tough as you are making it seem. It's just about conditioning your brain over time i.e. you get used to it, and also effort becomes easy once you are getting positive feedback for that effort

Lol

Don't u see how great athletes like Nadal and Djokovic emote pain and suffering on court?

For them to be as great as they are, you would not believe the torment they feel inside at times.

Only dumbass zoomers believe true success as a man is like some Maher instagram story where it's non stop validation and compliments

Any man with true power had to go through suffering you wouldn't believe, regardless of their genetics
