Are subs making us loners

[Shannon]

I am starting to think if subs are making us into loners. Particularly I am referring to how the 6 stages are taking the social part away so users are free from any unwanted social interactions.

"The 6 stagers"? Only one sub can possibly do that, and that's AM. It's designed to focus you inwardly for inner work, and some people become less social during that sub. Not all. You seem to be making sweeping generalizations here.

While that is nice have we really been benefited in the maximum way? The world is more and more developing in a way that requires collaboration. Without any close connections our life will be devoid of the opportunities that we may have.

Inner work requires inner focus. While you're doing inner work, if your response is to become less social, then that's what you needed to achieve the goal. And when you're done, you will be free to focus outwardly again. If you don't want to do inner work, then don't run AM. But if you don't run AM, you can't grow from it. You can't have everything all at once. There are different costs for different choices.

Personally I don't care to interact anymore, I'd much rather prefer to do everything alone. From a personal standpoint, I have much power. I don't need to gain the approval from anybody else, I don't need to pay responsibilities to ones I don't have to. I don't care. But from a subjective point of view, having 0 important social connection (not talking about commenting posts on the forum of course) may actually be harmful as so many opportunities can be missed, including dating, entrepreneurial, and generally more excitement.

And how long has it been since you finished AM?

I'd very much prefer if future subs can have more social connections made in mind because life can be much more helpful with it. "Loner-wolfs" , or alphas don't need to be quiet all the time. He can still enjoy the fun going out socializing will bring to him. And depending on the society you are in, in the western world being a "lone-wolf" is perfectly fine. Running business in the laptop is very simple. But in Eastern cultures, most entrepreneurial connections need to be spend on going out, having dinners, doing the same activities. The currents subs are designed in a very self-focused way, but I somehow do wish they can take some other persons in mind so reaching goals will be easier. The "one man's age" is over. Most successful modern start-ups come with one person's vision, and the collaboration of many.

AM isn't designed to turn you into a lone wolf. It's designed in fact to make you more social toward the end, as it brings you out of the inner focus. But if your response to the call for inner work is to be quiet or anti-social, that doesn't mean that will always be the case or the case for everyone who uses it.

Statements like:

Finding, talking or engaging in XYZ person / activities that will make me a better entrepreneur / alpha male.

Deciding the optimum amount of time for going out personally, in hobbies that interest you.

etc.

But those things don't necessarily help make you an alpha male... just stating that they will does not make it so.

The post is merely a thought to promote how more "communications" should be integrated into subs more.

Communication is outward focus. AM is primarily about inward focus and growth. Plus, not everyone has problems communicating when they do AM, remember. Your response is not universal.

Another important things is, given how limited users communications have been during subs., we can potentially fall into our own world thinking a few things might be correct. But only if we truly do find people who are stronger or better than us in a way, acknowledge their expertise and learn from them to evolve. The subs may make us overly confident that we believe we are the only correct person in the room, while in reality maybe very limited in vision.

When you first start out on this journey, you don't have calibration. Calibration is achieved by making the mistakes that show you your new boundaries. It's a normal, natural part of the growth process.
