Discussion How do normies turn failures into motivation?

[guessthatsit]

Normies turn failures and heartbreaks into motivation to turn their life around and become successful. Some start to focus on the gym while others on their careers. How can they do it? These negative experiences absolutely destroy me, they make me give up.

By being brainwashed by the elite

Normies know they will be rewarded somehow, which is true in most cases. They are not used to taking L's like we are.

hope for a better Future. they think that something will come so they strive towards it.

 

[Homegrownman326]

They believe that life is meant to be positive, so anything that deviates from that is a problem to be solved. Normies don't believe in genetic determinism or anything that deviates from the idea of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. Normies don't possess metacognition, so they can't evaluate their thoughts, feelings, or identity in depth. They buy into all the toxic positivity bullshit that hope hucksters promote. Our worldview, which can be summed up in the blackpill, is the realization that there are problems in life that cannot be solved and that the world is primarily fatalistic. We've victimized by a cold, uncaring universe from cradle to casket, a universe we never asked to take part in. Every impediment in life is a reminder of that fact for us.

Over the years, I've realized that humans aren't rational or logical creatures whatsoever. I'm not saying this in the traditional sense of "people are dumb". I'm saying that reason isn't as much of a driving force behind behavior as we'd like to think. Superstition, impulse, subconscious desires, instinct, environmental circumstances, and cognitive biases are the driving forces behind human behavior. "Hope," in my view, can be classified as a cognitive bias. When looking at the facts, can hope for a better tomorrow be definitively proven? In most cases, no. Statistically, negative outcomes are far more likely. Normies don't live in reality; they live in their reality. This is one of the main reasons I'd call myself a misanthrope.

High IQ. Entropy rules.

Failure to the average person indicates to them that they simply didn't try hard enough, regardless of whether or not that is correct. They are obsessed with the fantasy of a just world, the idea their effort translates into results. They don't consider that immutable factors outside of their control (such as genetics) constrain them, because that undermines their perception of fairness and their sense of autonomy.

Well put, absolutely true. Humans operate on cognitive biases primarily, such as the just world fallacy, as you described. No one lives in the real world.

Because normies had the fundamental success that shows them it’s not over for them.

Like most normies had a normal life and a Highschool girlfriend for example.

Why should they go gigadepressed when a girl breaks up with them? They know it’s not over for them because they had these normal experiences. They know their normal and are capable to achieve these things again

 

[Failed Pullout]

I used to be this optomistic and hopeful aswell but once you realize you're a complete failure it gets real hard to be positive about anything.

Hit it right on the mark.

Normies have a base level of self-esteem, social validation and life experiences that ensure they don’t spiral out like we do.

However, many normies also become alcoholics, drug addicts, or commit suicide.

[Saigon Depression]

They experience success too, not just failure.
