TOPIC: Do You Think About Death on a Monthly Basis? (55% Yes, 45% No)

There's honestly not very much to this video, I just wanted to talk to you about something random .

I answered "yes" to that survey, but REALLY what I think about the most is aging, not death. I think about ways to slow it down, ways to make it enjoyable, plan for how I'm going to handle it when it comes around.

I made the decision to push off thinking about death for now. At some point in my life I plan on using a lot of psychedelic substances to help me come to grips with my own mortality, particularly mushrooms. Sort of a like what Hunk is doing right now: a "spiritual" phase.

I figure you can handle death the same way you handle every other thing in your life: just plan as best you can and accept that it's going to happen.

And for the record, I'm 23 right now and you are the most influential figure (other than my dad) that I've had in my entire life. Honestly, finishing the approach anxiety program was the single most important thing that has EVER happened to me. I actually found your program because I googled "approach anxiety program" in the hopes that someone had written one up. I had the basic idea of exposure therapy to learn pickup in my head, and I was hoping someone had cobbled together some kind of step by step guide. It seemed like a literal godsend that your program existed.

Nothing has ever had as profound an effect on me as good looking loser. Not my mom losing her mind when I was a teen and the ensuing divorce, not dropping out of college to move to a city where I knew no one, not becoming a 911 medic. None of that stuff altered the course of my life as much as your website. I'm not saying that to be nice, it's the truth.

GLL isn't about girls, or money, or any of that shit. GLL at its core teaches that if you want something YOU GO TAKE IT. Your ideas made me understand that I have 100% control over my own life. Believing that is priceless.

So personally, that's how I'M going to remember you. It doesn't matter if I live to be 200 years old. Finding GLL was the PIVOTAL, DEFINING moment of my life so far. I'm the happiest I've ever been right now.

I've unfortunately had two of my best friends die extremely young, so yes I think about death probably not just monthly, but weekly, even EOD sometimes.

First friend died a couple years ago when we were 21, and then had another friend die in his early 30's as well about a year later (many of you guys know about this one).

My thoughts when watching your video is that you've reached the highest level of the maslow's hierarchy of needs. Maybe that's why you're thinking of death. In any case, have you listened to echkart tolle's audiobook The Power of Now? Listening to it makes one more...introspective? He talks about surrender and stuff

Of course I do, is part of life. It must be different for you since you have archieved what must men stride for. For me is more about not having enough to time to do what I want from life and that if everything we do don't really matters. For example, I'm in Barcelona right now and I visited the Sagrada Familia, which for a lot of people is absolute honor to stand under its roof, but when I was there I was like "this place is beautiful, but visiting it won't halt death and when I tell people I was there they probably won't give a shit"

Im sure you won't be forgotten anytime soon, since your program and ethos have helped a lot of people, even some considering you an influential figure in their life, like me, so dont worry about that.

When I'm in withdrawals, I think of death as an out.

When I'm depressed or frustrated because of girls, same thing.

When I'm happy.. I think about what else I'd like to do before I die.

At the end the most important thing in life is that you do the things you really want to do before you die. At 35 going on 36 that's what I've learned. It all comes down to spending your time where you should be spending it for yourself.

If you have the freedom to do that then you are truly free.

Oh and before I forget - there's never an end to thinks you'll want done before you kick it. Given we have less years left in our life than a moment ago, I would spend it on what makes you the most happy.

We all are aware of our mortality after childhood.

My death anxiety was triggered by overconsuming Modafinil making my heart to pump like crazy in a Starbucks cafe when I was 24. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and die.

This panic attack took a while to cool down.I isolated myself from friends and family but through studying about religion and metaphysics I concluded this life is not the end. I do not know the specifics but that is enough for me.

That made me realise I have essentially little time on this earth and I must make productive use of all my time achieving goals and learning (for example from Chris and fellow members of the forum.)

That's deep man.

I thought it was ironic to read the poll question as I think of death every damn day.

My life, especially my job is immensely stressful. I know everybody has stress in their life but mine is so intense that I've pretty much lost control of life.

I often wonder where my heart attack is going to happen. At home watching baseball, at the gym, at work, driving to work, etc. Then I wonder, will it kill me? Is this how it ends for me?

I gotta be honest about GLL, the draw that brought me here was reading all about Chris. Not the penis shit, the pick-up shit or anything like that. There's a lot of similarities I've come to notice between him and I. Depression, gym obsession and now old school video games.

Anyway, good video man.

yo chris, firstly. for me atleast. you saved my life man. 1 yr back i used to be a major rsd fan running around spam approaching (in the middle east) and although i got a few results. it was draining and just not worth it. i almost gave up with cold approaxhinf (afrer around 500 approaches ) till i found your website. and i look 10 × better than i used to. confidence elevel has shot up by miles. this wouldnt have happened if i didnt discover this website.

now speaking about death, i think about it almost on a daily basis. and no i donot think about dying, its more of a fear. it fucking scares me. theres so many things i wanna do (move to canada, fuck a 100 girls, create my own mobile apps in the future, travel several countries etc etc). and the fact that none of that would happen if i just get run ovee by a car really scares the shit out of me. i even stopped smoking after 5 yrs of doing so only because of my fear of death. (your recomendation of the alen carr book helped me stop so thanks for that). so yea. i havent told this to anyone though yet. im 24 btw

edit: out of topic but if yourw reading this could you tell me why red supplements dont ship to UAE. i see qatar as an option but no UAE. this made me miss out on osta red as well. thanks

With regard to GLL:

I feel your biggest contribution is that you provide a framework for guys that are struggling in parts of their life with a place to discuss these issues. It's very much like group therapy but even better. The web lets people be invisible invisible, so there is no reason to lie or bullshit. You can be completely honest in a way what one might not be able too face to face. Your moderators are insightful and knowledgeable.

This has GREAT value! You have an approachable yet firm delivery of your expertise. I would say you have changed a lot of lives. I've been reading GLL for 6 months and I have read several posts from young men who have said as much.

I wish they would have had this when I was younger. We did it the old fashion way. Keep it all inside and think your the only guy going through these issues and try to figure it out on your own.

For me (and many of us GLLs I assume) all I can say is that you truly changed my life.

Seriously, finding this site years ago was a pivotal moment in my life and I will ALWAYS remember as one of the most trascendental points in my life. I was a hopeless virgin (or had one lay, I can't really remember) but you changed for good the way I saw human interactions. Before GLL I thought that you HAD to be nice to a girl in order to fuck her, after I discovered GLL I started getting 1st date lays (not even a date, I would just invite girls over to my house whenever my parents weren't around ) (I also have to thank boy toy big time for his escalation guides and his whole site overall it was truly a gem).

The thing is, knowing you can get laid vs knowing you can't get laid has a mayor impact in every area of your life, I seriously felt like such a fucking loser because I couldn't even approach a girl not even when I was shit faced drunk, and that feeling of being a loser translates into every area of your life.

Know I can say I am a much more confident man, I have done some crazy shit, and I'm not even a finished product yet, I still have a road to conquer, but I'm confident in knowing that I can do it and it is all thanks to the advice you have put out to the world via your site.

I want to say more, but I honestly can't find the words to thank you enough for showing us good looking losers the path to showing us there is a way to conquer our fears and becoming men (and getting pussy)

If you are familiar with Maslow (?) pyramid of needs or some shit like that, he basically says that humans have basic needs to be covered before ascending to the next level of needs and to trascend. At the bottom is food, air water, the most basic needs. Then comes sex (and intimacy or human connections), so getting laid is really a BIG deal. Every sex depraved loser in here nows what it is like to not get any pussy, it is fucking horrible and messes up your psyche. So what you did with this site is truly life saving for many (including me).

PS. I hope you keep doing videos like this one, your are seriously like a big brother to many of us, and just listening to your perspective on different things is golden.

Edit: I just read BIB post and it is unsurprisingly similar to mine, just shows how much impact you've had on many of us.

Thank you guys, will reply more later. Read them all. I appreciate it.

Will do a follow up video (probably)

Got me thinking about the 'Maslow' discussion.
