    I think we all can agree on the fact that almost every successful person in this world is a strong personality

    I'm talking bout CEOs of big tech companies, executives of biggest banks etc etc

    I myself have ambitions to become a successful CEO of my own startup in the future. But I realize that personal traits I possess are not well aligned with my aspirations

    I'm a pretty relaxed person, I can't stay mad at anyone, I tend to chose others even if it some way sabotages my own situation. I have trouble saying no and I'm not a person that demands respect. If someone is mean to me I just tend to brush it off and let it be bc I don't care that much...

    Most of the things I've listed above would probay disqualify me from a position of power. Of someone who can lead a team to enormous success.

    Do you think if you work enough on standing up for yourself more, being more proactive, being goal focused it's possible to change your personality? And if so then how?

    It gotta be in you not on you

  • By forcing yourself you will put pressure on yourself which in no doubt will lead to a breakdown and you will crack.

    Be yourself. Through our history there were plenty of light hearted men who achieved great things.

    Why are you putting unrealistic expectations on yourself just do you

    Go for it op, f*** the sheep they don't know nothing about greatness

  • Mar 18, 2021

    I feel like a strong personality is something you are born with, I've a assertive personality so people have always chosen me to be leader of things. S*** man I was leading 30 year olds to finish our school projects as a 18 year old and we would finish weeks before the deadline.

    Most big tech CEOs have committed blood sweat and tears to a product which they have driven for numerous years in order to find themselves in the position they are in, what product are you passionate about that will lead you to this position?

    Read manosphere literature exclusively, that seems like something tech billionaires read a lot of.

    Sounds like low self esteem bro.

    And yeah you can absolutely change the way you carry yourself you just gotta work in it.

    After I joined rotc and being forced in situations where I had to stand up for myself and be a leader I’m 100% better at it. I used to be the same way from the text you wrote up above. It’s all about how you feel about yourself and confidence truly. The more confident I became in myself, the more of a commanding presence I presented, the energy I gave off changed.

    I’m still a quiet and chill dude but when I get called on to lead I step up and I do well at it. All that “rah rah loud alpha male” s*** is just bullshit

    Yes you but most people aren't motivated enough to want to put in that work. You'd have to work on that particular aspect over and over again HOWEVER the degree to which you can strengthen that particular circuitry in your brain will be influenced by your genes

    This is actually not a problem here

    I'm a CS student and I'm already working on something with 2 of my friends

    Deal is we have big plans for this after we get the degree and with me not caring enough to step up for myself I might run into problems when some important decisions have to be made

    That's what I think

    I'm getting my first engineering internship this summer at a big company and I'm planning on using it as an opportunity to strengthen my character and maybe pickup some things from leaders at work

    I'm great at leading a team and I can see it in how I'm operating either on this project or other group projects I'm assigned at sql but I know damn well that there are too many situations where I let someone step on my toes and make fun of bc they think being an ahole makes them more popular and I just brush it off thinking I don't care about them

    I don't know if it's really a self esteem issue bc I have a lot of friends and I'm fairly popular. It's just that when for example I have a group of 5 friends and there's this one dude who always has to be a d*** to everyone I'm just like "you do you" and let him s*** on me bc I know he's not someone I care about.
    And I'd like to amybe get to a point where I could just stand up and tell him "dude... f*** you" and cut the ties but whenever he's not a d*** and does something nice for once I'm like 'yeah he's okay I'm not gonna be so harsh on him". And that's an endless cycle.

    i think with everything in life you become better at it by practicing it so the more often you repeat it the better youll get

    I got what you’re saying, in the example you used you just gotta get to the point of being able to put someone in their place if they’re interfering with your teams progress or your work without giving a f*** what they have to say back. You can’t fear confrontation, people under you will always try to shove you around and if you let them it’s on you. remind them who the boss is and know their place. Deadweight has no place

    People always think the loud “alpha male” who’s pushing people around is a great leader when reality they’re just the loudest in the room. The loudest most “confident” one is who people will always flock to. That’s what people perceive as powerful, even tho a lot of the time it’s not the case.

    From what I’ve observed and learned myself the best leaders are always people who are friendly to everyone, listens to others opinions, speaks with authority, and cares about the well-being of others.

    I learned what I wrote above from the military but I’m sure it can be applied to any environment.

    You’re already f***ed if you don’t have paperwork and a clear understanding of what everyone specifically wants

    Lowkey they probably smell it (subject of this thread) on you

    Which you can also tell as evidenced by your last paragraph

  • Mar 18, 2021

    Yes it’s possible. You gotta have that spark in you though. Not everyone can do that
