 So this video is going to be a bit more nuanced than the rest of the videos because it's going to relate to only a very specific type of person. And if you ever get that feeling, like you need to run away from things. Like people, certain people scare you, certain events frighten you. And you feel like you have to retreat, you have to escape. In this video, I'll explain to you why that happens and how to deal with threats. Whether it be people who are like your critics, people you're running away from, things you're afraid to deal with, drama, maybe people you're scared of. Now, why does this happen? Why does this phenomena happen? Basically, it's a response that we sort of got once we were little. Maybe we escaped from something, maybe we made a lie, and that helps us escape from whatever happened to us. And we sort of adopted this modus operandi of whenever things scare us or don't go the way we want them to go and maybe we have people to deal with, we basically try to evade them and not talk to them and now make contact and escape and just hide, basically, hide ourselves. This obviously goes in complete, full contradiction with the mentality of wanting to get attention, which is the basis of influence. So how do I deal with it? And this took me many years of running away from people to learn. This has been so hard for me to learn, and it took years of just failures and feeling bad and being shamed and running away from people, but I cracked it. I cracked the code to solve it. The way you solve it is by creating reality with the person that you're trying to escape from. Now, what does this mean? Let's say that you're me, okay? You're this famous guy and, you know, I say famous quote-on-quote famous because I get recognized pretty much once a day on the street by people who saw my videos. And I had some pretty provocative shit back in Israel when I started getting attention. And people are like, oh man, you're that guy from the video. And in the past, I would escape from that. I would run away because I would be so afraid of the attention. But what I learned was that when people want to fuck with me, when people are like, oh, it's that guy. Let's see if we can fuck with him. I overwhelmed them with attention, so much attention that they start to retreat from me. So the person that retreats can never be the person that's advancing forward. So I learned that the best way to deal with situations where you're facing a retreat situation is to face it head-on with an advanced mentality. So the person you're afraid to call, you want to advance on them. That person that scares you, instead of running away from them and creating resistance, which will give them the power, you want to start advancing towards them and you want to do it as intensively, as humanly possible. I'll give you an example that happened just now. So as you probably see, there's quite a big commotion here. A lot of people. And when I say people recognize me in the streets every day, that's when the streets are not crowded. When the streets are crowded, I get recognized a lot because Israel is fairly small, especially kind of the center cities that's where all the people that watch my videos are at. So I had people, I was coming out of the gym and I had people like, oh, Robbie, you know that guy that made the video, come here, come here. And basically, I can tell fully well by now because I know when people have good intentions and when they have bad intentions, that they want to fuck with me. That they're like, oh, yeah, let's call him here and see if we can make him react or something. So instead of being like, oh, wait, let's not come. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, just come half-heartedly. I'm like, bam, I'm like, yeah, what's up? And then he's like, well, because he was already taking back. He's like, well, the girl here, she thinks she's your fan. I'm like, oh, yeah, you want a picture? You want to take a picture? Let's take a picture. So I basically, I don't want to make this sound aggressive, but I'm over-emphasizing this. How I basically, instead of reacting to them like, oh, you want to show a picture? Yeah, okay, yeah, or anything. I basically overwhelmed them with my presence, like advancing towards them. And this happened to mean so many different areas of life. And what this does is that it takes you out of this mental fog where you're like, oh my God, what's going on? I don't know what to do. What is this? Oh no, oh my God, how do I escape? No, oh no, oh no, what are you going to say? Oh no. And basically it puts you in the moment and it allows you to fully advance towards that person, overwhelm them. And usually then they start reacting to you and you actually get so empowered, you feel so good after, because you basically took a situation where you would normally react and you actually turned it into a situation where you were empowered. So anytime in life, we have these kinds of situations, again, sorry for not providing as many examples as I may have wanted to, but anytime you're in this kind of situation, remember to always advance towards the things you're afraid of rather than retreat. Because when you advance, that's when you get empowered and you basically see that you're more powerful than that thing that you're afraid of. You can actually overtake it, nothing will happen to you. We'll give you so much confidence and so much bravery to move on to the next conquest. So I hope this helps. Ask me any questions if you have, subscribe if you haven't, thanks for watching. One last point I wanted to make regarding the whole retreating agenda. Look, just because you feel something, okay? Just because something is, you know, there's an emotion in your body that says something does not mean that this is the reality of the situation and this is how you have to act. Just because you think of your girlfriend and you become jealous does not mean you have to act in a jealous way. Just because something scares you does not mean you have to act scared and run away. You can be scared and do it anyway. You can be, something can feel frightening to you and what frightening means is automatically means you classified it as bad. But it can feel frightening while actually being very, very beneficial. Maybe the person you're scared of could actually be a person that you should meet or maybe just in general, just being scared, it's pointless and if you run away because you're scared you'll never actually find out that there was nothing to be afraid of. So that's kind of the last quick point I wanted to leave you with is that just because you feel something does not mean that is the reality of how it is. You can feel something and the reality be the complete opposite of the way you feel. So you get that by meditation. When you meditate a lot, you start to get sort of an elevated perspective of your mind. So when you feel an emotion, you're less likely to go with it and more likely to kind of separate it. Like, okay, there's me and then there's the emotion. And other than that, just being brave, taking a lot of action. Although again, these could wind up putting you in the wrong direction. So yeah, it's just a matter of having that elevated, that ability to elevate yourself above the situation. You don't have to meditate to do that but that's the best way I know of because there's too many situations. You can't pre-plan everything but you definitely can be prepared mentally by meditating. So yeah, that's pretty much it. Thanks for watching one more video for today and I'm done.
