I believe the sensibilities of what they are calling a sigma male are the sensibilities of a God fearing man.

#7) Burnout is a huge risk, especially when you're a young guy. I rolled into my Senior Year in college "off my game" when I needed to ace my classes, prep for the GREs and all that. I took an official leave of absence for a year and worked in a couple of restaurants; the place is both a tourist and college town. Re-enrolled, kicked ass, had fun and graduated. My second job "in the real world" was at a start-up company in a beautiful part of the world. My first year was full-throttle: this FNG needed to prove himself. In the middle of my second year, I hit a major slump, again "off my game". My boss took me out for a "sit down" at one of the picnic benches in front; he told me that I've been doing a great job up to a few months ago and if I didn't get my shit together and improve my attitude he'd fire me. I agreed with him that my performance and attitude had gone downhill, and promised to get my act together. I tossed some distractions and disciplined my sleep schedule, and the rest of my time there was productive and enjoyable.

To whomever makes these videos: It is truly uncanny how well you know this personality type. I obviously don't know if you are a sigma-type or not; either way, you have a remarkable understanding of the psychology. I am 52 and have just found out about what really makes me tick thanks to you. Outstanding job - keep it up!

[@achievegreatnessmedia]

Thank you!

[@SigmaMan3835]

You have summed up everything that crossed my mind & im a 52 year old Sigma...These video's are so frighteningly accurate!

[@tounsi925]

@@achievegreatnessmedia There is something else Sigmas are also called chosen ones and their life is difficult because they are always targeted by demons because they want to steal Sigma energy as they have a special energy

[@ghostfacesam]

Me too. 51 years old.. I think I've been sigma since day dot. Not quite achieving Alpha, definetly not Beta, sigma seems to fit.

[@Johns.Insight]

WOW! …. Such an accurate video…. ❤️🔥🔥🔥

John, Thank you very much for supporting what we do here on the channel. I appreciate it!

SIGMA for almost 7 decades now. I have noticed 4 kinds of people. 1- Those on the inside, looking in. 2- Those on the inside, looking out. 3- Those on the outside, looking in. 4- Those on the outside, looking out.

I graduated Marine Corps boot camp. Nobody came to celebrate. My 1st thought was,ok,what's next?

[@marcrodriguez1146]

Totally understand, only my mom arrived, my brother's never came,which I wasn't really close, I to graduate from Marine Corps, I am used to be alone

[@creativedogmaz2608]

Yep, that's me. It is lonely at the top and lonely along the way. The jealousy of others is weird and can be harmful. I never thought a group of coworkers would hide their jealous intentions and then set me up. Never until lately. But, I learned.

[@jameswoolford2698]

Happened to me too

[@xavierjones5076]

People who don't understand Sigmas often find the need to demean them. Sigmas simply don't require the validation of others to be true to themselves.

[@AgeofMachines]

7:15 - 7:30: I wrestle with this a lot. I offset it by looking into the future for further troubles and avoid the "what are your contributions" conversations. I know that recognizing my contributions means that by THEIR paradigm, not mine, I'm deserving of respect, deference and obligation to match me. They can't. Was never a goal of mine. All I care about is being properly rewarded for my efforts, contributions and risks/penalties/punishments incurred in the act of living in a way that ensures their safety and comfort. The lengths I've gone or am going to do that are by any measure extreme and are exceeding the limits of my peers which is a joy all on its own.

[@guyh.4553]

I am the living proof of finding "love. Doubt I ever will. Better be single and content rather than be married & be miserable. An I can't stand social media. I used to have FB but I got hacked 2 - 2½ years ago. Thought I found fixes but they were scams so I just dropped it. Only issue is I was using it to stay in touch with family and a few friends. Have Instagram but don't know how to use it so I just watch videos on it. And of course YT & this channel! LOL 😊😅😊😅😊

[@pitchblackalleycat]

As a female I can relate to all of these as well. These traits are both me and the exact type of man I have always been deeply, instinctively attracted to. But it is extemely hard to find people who are not somehow frightened or intimidated by the strength, solitude and hardship you radiate just by being who you are. It's like people find you mysterious and fascinating, but at the same time they feel discomforted by the things you represent. I somehow believe that Sigma energy is caused by being unusually good at coping with negative experiences and emotions in your life. Possibly even trauma. Most people avoid these things instinctively, even in themselves. But some few people are able to be fully present, honest and conscious in all aspects of their being, even the darkest ones. This brings powerful insight often at the expense of relations to others.

[@nicoj84]

I've often watched these videos and thought that they would be applicable to women just as much as men. I agree completely with everything you have said but I think the average person sees the people you are describing as damaged goods. Great to lean on but not depend on as they see no tradition and a lot of possible trouble in the future. Most people are unfortunately very short term thinkers. Are you an IN** in mbti by any chance?

[@pitchblackalleycat]

@@nicoj84 I am INFJ, so good guess. ;) and yeah you're probably right.. I do think though, that this "average conception" has been reinforced over time by media and popular culture cultivating (and normalizing) certain stereotypes, especially female stereotypes, who are very superficial, spoiled and immature. It bothers me, because people who are reflecting and emotionally mature become involuntarily estranged. Personally, I've always found that there is a huge silent power in being empathetic, humble and grateful. Not only is it very appealing, but it grants you a certain courage to approach life and make the best of it. I might be damaged as well, as I have experienced lots of grief and distress especially in childhood and early youth, but I find that it has somehow only strengthened my core values and made me more receptive to love and kindness and all the little things, really. Like, I notice details a lot.. and IMO the little things, like gestures or subtle impressions, speaks so much louder than anything else. I appreciate it so much. You know.. I like to think that life has been merciless, but at the same time very generous towards me. Those things are deeply connected, I think, like darkness and light.

[@grahamfoley2358]

As an Sigma INFJ, all my life I have had people tell me that I was the one broken and that I needed to become just like them. . . . . Spent most of my life alone and in peace

[@bokkensuburi2621]

It's called living many lives and finally at soul level you realize that hurting others is just hurting yourself since we're all connected to the same source, you don't want to create more karma for yourself or others, it's too painful in the long-term.

[@nicoj84]

@pitchblackalleycat I had a bit of an inkling that you were an INFJ, I to am one. I have begun to notice patterns in my fellow pattern seekers that often pertain to light and dark, childhood and trauma. "The greater the light, the deeper the shadow" is a saying that has always stuck with me. While there are really 8 billion personality types, energies coagulate into recognisable shapes. Well off the usually heavily trodden path, I have found solice in merging these paradoxical sides of me into the grey, rather than a dark or light version that people have been treated to. Again, like you say, this has come with studying things that are not normalised such as individuation and psychological alchemy. Instead of being angry and sad at the state of the world, I've slowly changed into someone with empathy and understanding for others, like yourself. I just wish so many more would awaken themselves to the freedom but it's a hard path, and like I said last time, most people are short term and just won't endure the pain of the journey.

Great segmented video, I'm interested in the sigma males boyhood phase as well. I'm not just a Uniform

I noticed that sigma males get battered by a lot of people when there just being authentic

[@bakkerem1967]

This world despises authentic people. But hey, that's not my problem..

[@bokkensuburi2621]

It's because of the unknown, and that scares people.

[@Kane_Hodder]

I still wouldn’t trade being a Sigma for anything else

[@jameswoolford2698]

My sentiments exactly

[@tomekgnu]

As much as I know all the four Gospels, it appears to me that Jesus might have been a sigma in his days on earth.

Bro I was worried where you were and the videos keep posting em.

[@alexanderathanassakis1343]

I can sort of relate to this characterstics . 1) As a book worm and a history gig and a self taught multilingual its hard to find people to talk about all the stuff i read ,people get bored with it so i talk to myself .( Knowledge curse) 2) Expressing feelings and vulnerabilitues its very hard ,i cant even cry in front of my closest people . I would isolate myself rather than let my vulnerable side out and get my back patted . 3) Problem sharing too, i hate when people say "ah the poor boy" it understimates my abilities to deal with my issues so i simply bury them . 4) Its hard to find an actual partner i feel drained by dramas and prefer to "isolate" and spend time by myself . Isolation is where i really feel myself and where i pump my fuel . Its really hard to compromise... 😢 I dont know if i belong to the sigma category or not, but watching this video really hit me hard

[@CilVine]

The problem with "normal", is that it can often be subjective (relative). 'Normal', according to the world of humans, against 'normal', according to the laws of the universe, are most likely two different things. I do also believe that the downsides mentioned above, are often, (satisfactorily) dealt with as one grows older (at least, in my case). Decent video nonetheless. People who are not through-and-through Sigmas will likely knock you, for this type of content. Thanks for keeping your content concise, coherent, and "un-hyped" (superficial): unlike other channels. The number of subscribers on your channel, also proves you understand Sigmas. There just aren't many of them out there.

[@SimonDeVos-w1g]

To me, personally I consider conventional or conformity lifestyles not normal, I feel caged up By people expectations And to live by their standards or boundaries I rather live alone. Because I’m free,to call my own Shots. Loneliness don’t Talk back, it’s not confrontational, just me , myself , and I , my personal Freedom of thoughts I’m no longer attached To a control freak society Which is not normal. Being sigma male has It’s ups and downs , But I enjoy the roller coaster ride. It builds Resiliency ,endurance If things were normal Seeing it from a conventional or conformity View, is extremely boring Your just existing and not Living. Life without challenge is extremely boring.
