If a friend kept saying they'd call and never did, you'd stop trusting them. Your brain does the same thing to you. If you don't have proof that you actually do what you say, there's nothing for your confidence to be built on.

A man sleeping with 50 women means that he was attractive enough to meet the standards of all 50 women.
A woman sleeping with 50 men means that her standards were low enough that all 50 men met them.
Helen Zille went to Singapore to learn how that country became so successful. She came back and immediately tweeted that colonialism was not that bad and that South Africa (and Africa broadly) needed to follow Singapore’s example.
Zille didn’t mention that in Singapore, 80% of the population lives in houses built by the government, that the government builds housing so the people can live in them for cheap.
Helen Zille didn’t get much into how in Singapore, the government tells you which ethnicities are going to live next to each other and will mandate you to live next to a different ethnicity so that there’s no religious or ethnic tension.
This is not voluntary. A Chinese person may be forced to live alongside a Malay person and vice versa, regardless of whether he wants to. Quotas determine what proportion of each block must be Chinese, Malay, Indian, etc. It is a social engineering by government decree.
Not sure if Zille has the temerity to force a bunch of White people to go occupy some areas in Mitchell’s Plain.
Another thing that happens in Singapore, which I’m sure Zille cannot wait to implement is that you pay an additional tax for buying a second house, which can be up to 65% taxes if you want to buy more than one house. You can’t buy more than two houses, the government does not allow that. This is designed explicitly to suppress property speculation and concentration of ownership.
And then there’s a whole thing with the tax rate on a car being up to 300% in Singapore. If you applied that tax system in South Africa, a brand new, base spec Volkswagen Polo would cost over R2.57 Million! That’s not a typo or exaggeration.
I don’t know what Zille learned in Singapore, but she hasn’t been pushing for anything like this.
Oh, and there’s also the part where Singapore implemented one of the most comprehensive land expropriation programmes in modern history (https://t.co/dmEAHnb8H2)
Zille’s Democratic Alliance opposes land expropriation, racial quotas, state intervention in housing and property markets, and punitive taxation. Yet Singapore’s success she so greatly admires rests substantially on all of those things, implemented more aggressively than anything the ANC has ever actually done.
I recommend using absence to gain your respect back.
I recommend giving a girl your number instead of asking for hers. If she likes you, she will text you.
I recommend building your body, especially your shoulders. You'd be surprised how much more attractive you look with a better frame.
I recommend putting people in their place at the very first sign of disrespect.
I recommend not chasing people. Pay attention to who chooses you.
I recommend leaving rooms where you constantly have to prove your worth.
I recommend being honest from the beginning. Pretending is exhausting.
I recommend saving money before people know you're making money.
I recommend letting people underestimate you.
I recommend taking pictures and videos of your parents more often.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
We once did that in PE. Me and my friends beat up this dude who was beating and choking his girl by the road in broad daylight.. Long story short, dude opened a case against us and the woman was the witness... Luckily we settled out of court. NEVER AGAIN!!
The White Man gave you a book that spooked you into believing in hell. Why didn't the White Man fear hell as he raped, mutilated, enslaved and tortured your Afrikan ancestors for centuries. I guess hell is just a place for Afrikans.
