i would like to know whether or not one should set personal boundaries on confidence

during my times using pua material (before my last 8 month break from it) my mental view was that i could get anything i wanted. any female, job, item etc. I truly believed this and i was very cocky but also happily successful with pua.

the issue arises however, when such a viewpoint conflicts with advice given here.

for example:
- advice: avoid EX's / belief: i can get her back if i want too easy
- advice: avoid girls who are having a bad day / i can work a bad set easy
- advice: good outer game / i can work anything

is it better to have limitations on ones confidence or do you truly believe that anything is indeed possible in the world of PUA provided you work it correctly?

I don't think confidence is the same thing as believing that you could get anything you want. Such beliefs can only lead to self-delusion. For me, true confidence is being completely happy with what you have.

I'd say in the ideal world, thats a great belief system assuming your working on it everyday and doing hardcore inner development work- from there you'd be able to see your limitations and know your strengths and weaknesses. That said, most of the time PU advice/stuff are just shadow issues ppl haven't resolved hence its self-delusion.

Confidence is trusting yourself and knowing exactly why your doing things which then gives you options to improve your life- however without the foundation of "trusting" yourself, nothing happens. Since if you do trust yourself, the "playbook" goes out of the window. And once that happens, well..anything is possible- given the moment.
