That is\u2026 Identifying that which reduces or messes up yourself of self-confidence, typically with numbers, whether it be finances and the market, social media numbers, etc. Making yourself blind to this is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">separation between yourself and \u201creality\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second idea is\u2026 Disconnecting yourself a bit from reality, creating your own \u201creality distortion field\u201c. If you want a truly antifragile self esteem and self ego, \ufffc\ufffcit cannot be dependent upon others. You must think of your own self-directed virtues, what you yourself are proud of, following your own inner scorecard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">aesthetics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, being handsome, beautiful, aesthetically, beautiful whatever I think it\u2019s the ultimate pursuit in terms of your body.
