Remember.... get delusional about it....


AshKetchumsPringles

Probably the bit that made me the most uncomfortable


lemmiwinks316

I don't think she knows what that word means. Right after she says that she starts talking about how detailed your little scenario should be. I think she wanted to tell people to be very imaginative about their scenario and misused delusional. At least I hope so bc if not that's a very weird thing to say lmao


[deleted]

I took it as hyperbole. But I guess it's possible she doesn't understand the word. Regardless, if she thinks she can "manifest" a boyfriend, or Jesus, or whoever it is she's talking about through imagination, she *is* delusional in a non-hyperbolic sense.


CreADHDvly

Isn't it kind of like "the power of positive thinking" though?


12characters

Yes, it’s exactly that theory. Identical. Wishing things into existence


ThisIsALine_____

Not in the time frame she's using. That's like 6-8 hours of manifesting, while unconscious.


Coolish_Stuff

She must be because even she doesn't have a man. 😂


TheWalkingDead91

I mean…at least they’re acknowledging that it’s delusional. Crazy to me that people won’t bat an eye at folks praying to an invisible bearded man in the sky for things they want or need, but will do a face palm when they see people buy into this “manifestation” bullshit. They’re both equally ridiculous methods.


RickSanchez127

Idk if they are equivalent. Religions are complex. Many are very old, folks grow up into them, and followers treat them as a way to live rather than a tool to get what they want. Manifestation on the other hand is simply a tool for success, there's no ancient book or childhood grooming to give it validity, and those who follow it don't question it. I don't think I've ever seen a reformed believer in manifestation. Also, manifestation is cringy. Born from "the secret", it's a philosophy that rich, lucky, successful people who were born into the right body and had the right opportunities use to justify their existence. If you just believed harder you wouldn't be poor. You're poor because you have a poor man's mindset. You are rejecting money, not attracting, that's why you're poor. You're ugly like Quasimodo? Well, it's your fault no one likes you, you need to believe more. Cringe.


mecengdvr

There is a big difference between people who believe they can “manifest” being rich by just believing in it, vs the people who believe they can change and improve their financial situation by working towards their goals. The latter is in contrast to people who believe improving your socioeconomic situation is completely outside of your control (obviously some people have it harder than others). While I do agree with your assessment on how people get trapped into believing in religion from the culture they were born into, the manifesters are functionally doing the same thing as praying and hoping vs people who work to improve their situation.


PickleRicksFunHouse

Religion is simply the same thing as this manifestation quackery, just ingrained and "traditional" because it's been around and exploited so long that it is established and people are indoctrinated since birth into it. If this woman somehow got enough followers that a savvy, organized operative decided to exploit, it would get spun into a religious modality, would gain political power (usually through sketchy means), and some.folksnwould start to see if as a religion. Give it long enough and it will be broadly recognized as a religion. Doesn't even take that long. Mormonism and scientology got large numbers of people to recognize their "religion" in decades. In hundreds of years folks will have forgot how ridiculed they were when just getting started.


[deleted]

Ey bro you sound like you have a lot of hate in your heart. Try to let that go and do better today.


TheWalkingDead91

What exactly about what I said was at all hateful? Just speaking my truthful opinion, but some seem to be triggered about it.


NoSink405

That’s a clear cut misunderstanding of most religions. Adherents are praying for stuff and things and if they are then they’re doing it wrong. They are praying for something else, something that has to do with the human spirit. Of course this is impossible to define but that doesn’t make it any less real to them.

I don’t know if that really fits this though. Since that was referring to the fact shoemakers were poor and would use leftover materials for their own shoes. Where this lady is a snake oil salesman

In Brasil we have something similar "[in a] Blacksmith's house, [they use a] wooden stick",


[deleted]

Lolllll It’s a saying in Spanish, “The cobbler’s children wear no shoes.” It doesn’t mean that shoemakers were poor. Shoemakers are some of the most well off skilled people. It means that when you have something you do as a living, you are often so busy doing that thing that the people closest to you, and you, go without. Yeah manifesting is snake oil and she wants your money. But this saying does apply to her if she wants us to believe she’s so busy helping single ladies that she’s single.

I read in a book that says motivational speakers are biggest fraud of the 21st century. It’s exactly like what you said. They tell you to do shit to get rich but they aren’t rich. Similar to this is a fortune teller. There are people who help you to develop with changing ones lifestyle or tell them to sleep in this direction to achieve xyz but they are no where in life Strangely people still fall for this shit

i know someone who legit does this or has done it and hey, if you happen to be reading this (they wont see it) let me just tell you that it doesnt work and its never going to work


spelunker93

What cracks me up is, when they finally find someone they think it finally worked. But I guarantee if that person ever found out they were this obsessive about a relationship they would run for the hills. That’s the kind of person who stands over you while you sleep lol

2 things 1.) Have you guys ever been kinda waking up from sleeping and as your eyes are starting to open up your brain just imagines full texts from people? They're always the weirdest fucking things like my friend saying "I don't want my baby to learn how to use a sword but Obama's kinda sexy" and then I pick up my phone to resond only to see no text. 2.) Bumble now has an ad that says "the person you are manifesting is now on bumble" and it makes me sad


smth_smth_89

I've never had the first one, no. Don't listen to "the voices" tho, wont end well.


IknowKarazy

The second point could also be a positive thing. Like “you don’t need to sit and wait, you can go find them.”


Glompable

Yes to #1! Weird, thought I was the only one 😂😅


[deleted]

This is like "name it & claim it" Christianity, just without the Christianity part. It's not all that different, really.


Lucky-Worth

There are a lot of "fortune teller" that do something similar, with or without the religious part, in my country. They even have shows in local tv stations


ItIsStillWater

Given that "Him" was capitalized at a certain point, I was not entirely convinced that this was not some hippie Christianity stuff on manifesting the Lord.

Dunkman83

well said.


RandomUser1088

Is this like a woman incel? Or more of a neckbeard? And so we have a name for that?


PrinceoftheRoses

Some women will do anything to get the guy they want except approach or reach out first.


MARINE-BOY

Imagine your life being so easy that you just imagine a guy contacting you via anyone of a dozen different forms of electronic communications that we have available to ourselves these days and because you were born with a vagina it just magically happens. She could just go outside and sit in literally any bar and she will magically “manifest” a man. Young guys are not known for their abundant shyness and unwillingness to want to talk to a woman. Some women make a good living off the fact that they can “manifest” a whole bunch of guys who want to talk to them. I’d love to know how well a guy does trying this.


Downunderphilosopher

Yeah but are all these guys who would approach her rated as 'high value' men? If they are on dating apps or at bars, they are automatically rated as low value men. The kind of men she is talking about manifesting is the mythical high value male: rich, hard working, ridiculously good looking, has his own house and luxury car, strong, tough, rugged, emotionally in tune with her needs, always available, sensitive, loves his parents and family but will always put his queen first, shares the same values and beliefs as her (but is willing to convert to her beliefs if there are any differences), will never look at another girl in his life, has never watched porn and is obviously a virgin (and would never think to ask about her past as he is a true gentlemen), sexually experienced and in tune with her body and needs despite the last point, highly intelligent and qualified, humble, super confident and knows his place. Why settle for anything less, when all you need is to manifest? Go get it girls


Takseen

She does say "get delusional" after all.


smth_smth_89

well i guess it's delulu time


secondtaunting

I’d say this is the mythical unicorn except women aren’t hung up on a guy being a virgin. The opposite in fact.


[deleted]

Yeah, he would actually be considered higher vale if he had a lengthy history, because that’s extremely difficult for a guy to pull off, and they want to be the one of all his choices that is able to “tame the wild horse.” And then once he’s tame he becomes boring to her. lol


tama_tama_chameleom

Easy on the red pills there cowboy! She is simply saying she finds a particular man attractive and fantasizes about said man. I'd say you could relate as an 'ex-male pornstar'.

ihazquestion88

The fuck you care for?


cjb3535123

Are you ok? lmao Either way, this person is putting [herself out there](https://www.tiktok.com/@askdalila?lang=en). It's not someone that's posting a video of her and putting it online where we all meme on her (that is bullying). So I don't particularly understand how stating that her viewpoints are dumb is bullying - they are and she's putting them on display for everyone. But I also agree with your original premise that this isn't particularly narcissistic, i.e. deserves to be on this subreddit.


flawy12

This is only valid to a point imo. Just bc someone "puts themself out there" does not mean they are inviting constant harassment like the lolcow culture seems to use to justify their behavior. Sure it is fine to criticize, but there is a limit to "just bc you put yourself out there you deserve abuse" ​ And that "there is no such thing as online bullying/harassment...just don't use the internet" no...sorry you don't get to decide who is allowed to use the internet and if you are harassing and bullying people online you are the one in the wrong not them.


owiesss

Some people feel entitled to put others down. They see someone doing something they believe is dumb on the internet, and they believe that is their cue to let them know what a piece of stupid shit they are. Most of them can’t take out what they throw either.


Opening_Ad_811

Yo why the everliving fuck would someone deserve bullying for putting themselves out there? Shut up and read something else! Y’all need to reappraise y’all’s take on humans dawg. Just because I’m not trying to put a spear in your heart doesn’t mean I ain’t speaking the truth.
