Emperor effect and friends

has anyone here lost friends or cut ties with people they used to see as friends?

I seemed to have stopped wanting to be around the group I used to always hang out with and certain things have become more clear to me. like the most recent thing that happened around a month ago was that they were trying to forcefully make me learn to swim when fully being aware that I have a phobia of being water bodies (oceans, seas, and even pools) as it always reminds me of my uncle who passed away from drowning, and up until starting emperor, I didn’t really care much, but since starting it, it made me realize how shitty of a behavior that was and I can’t even stand to chill with them again.

at first when I used to read people becoming anti social on emperor, I didn’t really think it would be that bad, but now I came to the realization that it’s actually one of the best things to happen tbh

Yea i think he may be Emperor + PCC + Inner Circle. Even without his Geass he is quite charming and dangerous of a character because of how tactical and strategic he is… he is like a younger emperor palpatine to an extent. He is like 10 moves ahead of his opponents, also like red reddington.

I honestly believe that the fact that he’s my favorite anime character of all time (along with light yagami and johan liebert), it makes sense that emperor really spoke to me, because if i’m being honest, I feel like the sub chose me instead of choosing it.

I don’t take it as becoming anti social, emperor makes you focused on motivation and drive so much that your social life as a result of getting what you want to achieve sorta fades away to a certain point.

For people that want a social and sexual life khan and stark work great especially paired together

Honestly, with the things I’ve went through in my life, emperor just feels like a blessing that was waiting to be found, I know I haven’t been on it for that long, but I was too passive and had a lot of traumatic experiences, because of which emperor doesn’t feel as heavy or tough, on the contrary, it’s making me become heavy and tough haha.

You could consider running Dragon Reborn for 4-6 months at some point then. It would help you massively in your subliminal development.

I appreciate your concern about me, but I got to say that with all the covid stuff going and lockdowns, it actually gave me a nice opportunity to heal with meditations, as well as taking therapy, it was a huge action to take, but one day I just went for it, and thankfully I did because I feel much better.

Emperor, you will lose interest and/or cut ties to people who are not up to standards, can’t relate to you with the importance you are cultivating for yourself, or don’t contribute to your current and future sense of self and life.

It’s a good skill to be able to navigate social circles regardless and after a year on Emperor I am coming back around to some people and our relationships are very different in a way that now works for me or significantly more so.

Well one thing I noticed is that I always despised people who would buy academic work, such as assignments and/or dissertations, and recently we had to submit our dissertation since we’re in final year of uni, and the main group of the “boys” I used to always hang around all decided to buy it instead of working hard and writing them, while as I did write it, and that caused me to just stop seeing them as people with any value and just blocked them out of my life.

Couldn’t have said this better. This is exactly my experience as well. It’s all about people not meeting your standards or aligning with your objectives.

With Emperor you can be social, but only when it’s serving a purpose or when you don’t have more important things to do.

I do have one friend I do not really reach out to. She has not reached out to me since I ran started SubClub with Emperor Q version back in October 2020 (running Emperor Qv2).

There is another friend who reaches out to me via text once in a while. I used to reach out to him and chat on the phone for an hour or so before starting SubClub. Now, I do not reach out to him. I have been pretty much independent from friends and have been more introverted.

If I saw that, I would’ve blocked them out of my life too. While listening to Emperor or not.

Guess we really do get a better sense of who truly are our actual friends and who’s just a parasite with emperor
