I’ve become more aware of my egos impact on aspects of my life, like rejection or random man commenting about me online. I definitely need to work on it more. I need to not get sad, upset or angry if I hit a series of rejections back to back when I’m approaching in person. I need to not let that affect myself worth or how I see myself. They not rejecting me. They don’t know me. They’re rejecting their perception and jumping to conclusions based on a very quick assessment of me based off just my behaviors in the 30 seconds they interacted with me. Similarly, I get comments or advice from men, inside and outside of this community. Some find my instagram on their own and give their two cents in other communities. I have to realize that there judgments or assessments about me are also based on limited information, guess is based on what they see on my Instagram, or little bits that they hear if they attend a group call. I need to not get offended or upset or feel the need to qualify myself and give a big explanation or argue back. If they say something about me that is off that affects my ego. It’s not really my reputation that they’re affecting as much as it is my ego not being able to stand that they have a inaccurate or negative perception of me. For example, one moa member said I should learn to be able to approach women without someone recording. Completely untrue. My friend curtis has seen me approaching in person and of his own volition, he’s told others that I have zero approach anxiety. I guess this guy just seen how many street interviews I posted and made conclusions. Then there’s many other examples, there’s people outside of the program. In other communities, find my Instagram on their own and bring it up, which is always a bit weird, and then make these assumptions about me like must be nice to be rich or you clearly have a lot of free time youre wasting (not knowing at all how much time and effort it can take to organize an event or get content. But ultimately, I’ve learned that I shouldn’t care at all. Be unaffected. A stranger could think that I’m the worst human on earth and I shouldn’t care. There’s this constant need to make sure everyone has an accurate pleasant perception of me but really I should not waste the time online to correct people especially if they’re strangers online.
