The Problem
I started getting into reading and watching about the game about a year ago. But ever since I started I havent really done anything...made any 'real' progress...I actually feel like i might be fucking cursed or something...its soooo peculiar...one minute this girl is into me with no 'real' mistakes made...and the next minute..poof...the sexual tension and attraction has left the room. It has happened on numerous occasions and cant seem to figure out why, but the one thing i do know is this...once i start REALLY applying this material i now have stored in my brain...my dream will then come true...but thats where my real dilema pops up...I live with my parents...im 23, and a college student...now im not saying that i care about my perception of looking like a loser, its not that at all..what i lost is my self-reliance. I know some of yall read Mystery Method but i know most of yall will know what im talking about when i say 'Survival values & Replication values'...the most essential values a man can have...Now, i was in the US Navy for the last 4 years...it was the best experience in my life..i feel that now because it defined who i am today, and that is because i was self-reliant...i depended on myself to be phsyical and mentally strong and i felt i did a very good job especially the shit i had to endure...I got out 10 months ago, and ever since then its been a dicline in happiness...self-discpline...self reliance, and pretty much back into the lifestyle i had before I enlist. i feel like a teenager again...and i dont like it AT ALL...i hated it when i was a teenager...i was a loser then, and im cool with saying that cause i made peace with it once i made the right decison in going into the military...so thats i feel now, a 23 year old teenager..going to college, living at my parents house...oh and i forgot to tell you...i totaled my 2002 Lexus IS 300 last month

The Solution
Well...i feel that the reason why i dont sarge and be the person i want to be is because i lost my self-reliance and no longer in survival mode..i am now reliant on my parents..which internally makes me feel like a teenager again...which kills my inner game, so what i need to do now is save $5000 and have a job while going to school to justify me moving out and getting my own place. I feel once this happens...and my survival mode kicks in..and am now self-reliant like i once was in California...i will actually feel like a man again, and finally sarge with yall...peace out and watch out for IKE!

You just said your solution. Inner game. The fact you're aware of this should be your hope. I mean that you have given yourself a clear goal and know what you're working for...to save money then move out. Honestly that should be good enough. There's nothing wrong with that and nothing to be ashamed of. Man if a chick scoffs at you when you say you live with your parents while saving money to move out because you just got done serving our country then punch her right in the boob. Seriously dont let this part of your life drive down you're inner game because you're not exactly where you want to be yet.

Trust me 99% of the guys here are still working and developing many aspects of their lives in order to both improve their game and become a better man. I know the military instills in you the steps to use when you have a goal in mind. So use that and be relentless in your goal of saving money and moving out if that's what you want and in the meantime dont take shit for your situation and dont let it constantly bring down your state.

You'll get there. Take comfort in the fact that you know what the hell it is you want and you are working towards it. In fact apply that same principle to your game. If there's a chick you want then go for her. A nothing to lose mentality will give yourself so many more opportunities than trying to calculate each interaction and wait til the perfect moment. Good luck man.

SM nailed it this is an inner game.

Don't worry about what people 'think' , you can actually use this time period to harden yourself and make yourself all the better once you get your life into a situation which you want it to be.

one thing I noticed is that while you were in the military you were used to taking action right then, yet now that you are back in the comforts of american living you have relaxed back into your comfort zone. So I think you should ask yourself what was different when you were in the military?

You took action the moment you thought you needed to do something because when bullets are flying it could be life or death. Think of pickup this way as well. When you are in field imagine the bullets flying. The consequence of you not talking to a girl and being all you can be is that you die. The part of you that is your best self dies if you are not being the best you can. One of the greatest motivators in humans is the avoidance of pain, so hopefully this helps.

You also need to view living with your parents differently. If you can't find a way to move out then you must accept it dude. Theres plenty of college people who still live with their parents. I meet girls all the time who still do. Heck I met tons of cool chicks when I still lived with my parents. View it for what it is. It's an excuse that you are using to remain in your comfort zone and hold yourself back. Excuses are for pussies. You are not a pussy. By learning to make the best of any situation you are in then you can excell at anything. This will give you confidence. We both know that confidence is one of the key factors in getting chicks.

I actually disagree that getting your inner game down is the solution. At least the communities inner game. You can't let some dude on a pickup video determine who you are. Find out what your values and beliefs are and become strong in those. Ask yourself which beliefs help you and which ones hurt you. Drop the beliefs that hurt you and adopt new ones that go along with your values that help you.

Man, a lot of these things our in our heads. You don't walk around with a sign on your chest telling people that you live at home. Odds are if people do find out it will be after they already like you. Besides, you are just out of the service, you have a valid reason for being there.
Don't make this an excuse to wait until you have everything in place to start doing the things you want to do because there will always be another excuse or something else standing in the way. I know because I have been guilty of that myself. It is good to focus on fixing the problems in your life but no problems are so big that they require every minute of every day. You gotta live life too man.
