CRP Patreon Exclusive: “Mirroring”

Man I was thinking of white knights and at the end you pointed out the male feminist. They have no shame in it, if only for a morsel or a sniff.

They're great at it because they don't want to cause confrontation and conflict. It's rooted within their evolutionary psychology.

Thought that was some 80s rock band. Looked it up and had a great laugh.

Women are great at this...

Hey coach I got to thank you for all the content, the lessons and ideas that you share to us, I work at a restaurant in the SF Bay Area and I learn to spot and not trust people who mirror me because you’ve said before to never trust someone who agrees a 100% with you and beware

The creation of a connection that casts a spell that leads one to believe they are soul mates.

Yo Coach with the Murdoch Murdoch drip? More like Coach 1488 pilled

I think that it is important to know when someone is doing this so you can prevent it from happening. I have heard of this concept before and have since forgotten that I took a very brief training about it in a company I worked at.

Every time I've ever thought about doing this or have done it, I've always felt phony and disingenuous. I've tried it to blend with people in professional environments and I'm always afraid I come off like a used car salesman. Especially when talking about sports or some other mundane bullshit. I know absolutely fuck-all about sports and would rather tune it out and focus on something more worthwhile.

Happy to see something outside of politics for a change

Isn’t mirroring also a subconscious act when ur interested in someone?

Mirroring is why it’s very important not to wear your feelings/emotions on your sleeve — and not to reveal too much of yourself too quickly to a potential friend/lover.

Yeah I kinda hate to lie. Hate it a lot. I disagreed with this video but ended up lying all the week. I'm actually that guy scanning to make sure everybody is vaccinated but I didn't get the jab myself. At this point I don't care if it works or not. I just want to make a big fuck you to those idiots.

I'd just go out and say most of Eastern Europe, but I could be wrong.

Oh MAN, was this video relevant to me! I've always had this natural talent for establishing rapport with ANYONE, and I do mean ANYONE... black, white, rich, poor, classy or a caveman, more often than not, they'll spill their entire life story to me in our first encounter. When I was younger, I had a serious problem with THAT GUY (the drunk stranger at a concert, the homeless guy with something to get off his chest, the dude nobody wants to talk to) seemingly seeking me out of any group, talking my ear off, and me being unable to get away... it took me years to figure out the cause of this somewhat humorous curse was, and it's because I naturally mirror people. I'm in the 90th-100th percentile for openness, and love meeting people and hearing their ridiculous stories, so, unlike more sane people, I show interest rather than disgust when weirdos speak to me. I naturally mimic body language, mannerisms, expressions, and lingo... despite being a fairly scary looking, 6', 230# bald white conservative, I can fit in with any crowd, no matter how outwardly appearing we may be. I used to wonder if I was secretly racist because I often catch myself speaking differently around black people than I do my white friends, but it's really just speaking to people in a language that they know, that they're comfortable with. I doesn't make any sense to hand your dog a letter you've written telling him how great he is; after all, he can't read, and his language is physical affection, so I opt to scratch his ears an let him lick me. This is something important to remember for your romantic relationships, too. One of my main sources of income is political petitioning...I'm one of those assholes with a clipboard asking for signatures outside the supermarket. This is where I really learned to hone my innate talent for mirroring and the proper use of stereotypes... I consistently out-produce the second best signature gatherer in any group, often by 2 or 3 fold, because I can predict people's values and beliefs through stereotypes, and if I'm wrong, there's always a plan b, c, d, and e to recover using humor and charisma. I pride myself on NEVER lying about a cause, because I truly believe I can convince damned near anyone to sign anything by making the cause relevant to them, or merely because they like me. I flat out tell people I get paid (a LOT) to do this work, and it's how I earn an honest living, and many people have told me they'd sign even though they disagree with the cause just because they like me so much. It truly is a rush working these things; the more signatures I get ($3-10 each... it's seasonal work, but i seriously make $40-$120 an hour), the more money I make, the better of a mood I'm in, the more charismatic I am, which gets more people to sign, etc etc etc. I'm so good that complete strangers often invite me in their house for dinner, weed, and beers, give me water bottles to take with me, etc. I get free food at restaurants, discounts on goods and services most places I go, and if I'm in a strange town for the night, there's a 2/3rds chance a stranger will let me crash on their couch., no joke. It really is unbelievable. Mirroring and stereotyping people are two of the best skills you can develop, and coupled with being outgoing and charismatic, you truly can become an unstoppable force. The funny thing is, you can actually get paid and paid handsomely to develop these skills by petitioning, which is a job any US citizen over 18 can do, and every high schooler and college student should try it for a year or two... I guarantee the experience will be more important than any university class you take. The best people at mirroring are those with narcissistic personality disorder, and absolutely horrible, vile condition where they mirror people out of necessity, because they are subhuman, hollow shells with no identity of their own, so they must mimic those around them, both to give the false impression that they're human and to manipulate everyone around them, esp lovers, to secure their prime aim; the acquisition of narcissistic fuel (positive and negative emotion), which is as vital to their survival as blood to a vampire. I legit think narcissists were the inspiration for the creatures of lore. Everyone should check out HG Tudor's youtube channel on the subject to understand these monsters that walk among us because you WILL run into many in your lifetime, and be horribly hurt by them. Many of the inexplicable, maddening decisions of those around you, especially leftists, will make perfect sense once you understand their seemingly irrational motivations through the lens of narcissism. Cheers

I think mirroring is a double edge sword. On one hand it can help people that are indecisive and on the other troll a whole political party. I also think with mirroring you have to do a little bit but once and a while throw out something genuine otherwise you give off "the fake vibe," as well as being seen as a pushovsr. This is why you don't trust nice guys. It also depends on circumstances too, most of the time mirroring is a defense mechanism.

The democratic does mirroring with the socalled black community

Love this topic. Highly recommend giving Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking a read.

Smart guys fall for it cuz they want the validation; feels like people are so isolated that even if they feel like they are getting played, it's better than being alone.

Subordinates mirror their boss all the time.

More please.

I work in sales, run/build sales teams, and coach salespeople and can confirm this is one of the most useful tools in the toolbox. Here is a bit of comment-section wisdom on the topic haha. In order to be done well it should be an incredibly subtle agreement. (EG, if the person seems positive toward the Patriots, mention something they've done well recently, or that you heard good things about the current lineup. Better still is to partially disagree at certain intervals, but only as a continuation of the same thought. (EG: "that's true, and here's why" "that's true most of the time. I've also found that..." "I thought so too, and that honestly is a valid way of looking at it. However, there is also this way that is useful in this scenario..." Positive neutral positions also work exceedingly well because it's not obvious brown-nosing "The Patriots have been killing it for sure. How's the lineup looking for this season?" Correcting a person's beliefs is more difficult still (and necessary if you see this misalignment will produce an objection). You can still accomplish this by leading them to desired conclusions, starting only from beliefs they already have. It's usually unwise to directly disagree unless they are in a 100% deferential mode to you as a perceived expert.
