For me it was hanging out with people (guy friends) who were toxic to me.

They were bringing me down with their "crab mentality" and their beta-ness was rubbing off on me, which I knew it, but didn't really had the nerve to cut them out.

A lot of power games on their part, playing petty mind-games as guys...lol

I cut them out towards the end and decided to really take care of myself first. I tried to be social as much as possible to gain social proof, get more social skills, etc., but that also came with sacrificing so much of my time, energy, attention to people that didn't really matter. I had to screen harder. I was trying to be social as much as possible, resulting in hanging out with people that I didn't even like thinking that it will go somewhere...Been there and done that.

I cut out like 5 people explicitly and directly by just not responding to their messages, about a dozen people indirectly by saying that I am busy or I got something else to do. Just a fade away.

My personality is really sigma male alike, I can go days or even weeks without talking to anybody. I am going to keep it that way, only talk to my fuck buddies. No over-reaching or over-leveraging.

2018, I am going to be super careful who enters my life. I tried to give people second, third chances after they have crossed the line and disrespected me, but not in 2018. If I get some bad vibes from a person, I am just going to ignore/dismiss them. No negativity allowed. "Hire slow, fire fast" is what I kept thinking to myself as I got rid of several toxic people last year.

Just going to focus on my business and investing and really get ready to do my real estate as I will be graduating. =]

2018 Q1 was a success.
Confidence is such as internal thing that comes out naturally and people around you can feel it when you get so much shit done.
