Do things like Karayoke, but sober.
Ask girls out.
Ride roller coasters.
Basically anything that will make you dump adrenaline without it being actually dangerous. You can get used to the feeling of what your body is doing and work through it.
Doing dangerous stuff is better. Drive your car really fast on twisty mountain roads or cutting up through traffic. Go to sketchy gas stations at night. Better yet buy a motorcycle and run from the cops if they try to pull you over.
>Ride roller coasters
Unironically this. I rode the Behemoth coaster at Canada's Wonderland in 08 which was the tallest in the world at the time (230ft) as a kid and now I never get the stomach drop sensation
I've also climbed straight up mountains while piss drunk or stoned, almost falling to my death a couple times
However, I no longer really feel any joy when riding roller coasters or partaking in most activities, and I find myself wanting to pursue more ridiculously dangerous shit just to feel alive
I rode 2 out of the 3 biggest coasters at Wonderland as my first time riding coasters but I didn't feel much myself. Maybe I died inside long ago. Or maybe it was because I had to take my glasses off to hold them and I couldn't see anything kek
If my harness flew off and I soared through the air, then I'd feel scared
The last time I went on a rollercoaster, it only had one of those hip bars to hold me in. At one point it felt like the cart I was in tried to buck me off, because I bounced against the bar and only my legs kept me on. My friend's dad also rode it and found out he had a cracked rib the next day.
Sorry, too much of a 24 year old virgin to get this one (fingerbanging a dipshit 3 years ago doesn't count when you pick a humanity and screwed your 20s). Isn't it England? And more seriously, how the hell does her riding you make you last longer? Same sensation
Need to have someone with you putting the pressure on, shouting in your ear, making you physically exert yourself before shooting, etc. Insults and things to degrade your confidence immediately before he suddenly says to shoot a target. You wanna get a mix of psychological and physical stress. Ideally this kind of thing is done after a ruck march. But it's still never the same thing.
Do an incredibly mundane task within a busy environment. Autistic as it sounds, imagine trying to make a ship in a bottle while people are talking or grabbing your attention. Alternatively you could use physical puzzles to fuck with while timed and it's an easy way to build up Eustress
Doing sports that require you to perform under sustained pressure, combat sports for one. Also doing things that require you to multi task while communicating, teaches you awareness and performing tasks under pressure. Honestly drilling and killing, while it may be annoying to constantly do, is great for being a better operator as it builds that mind muscle memory to act without delay.
Putting yourself under stressful situations like the others said is a good suggestion, but you should also train with your firearm (drawing fast, aiming [sights, point], etc) so when the situation happens, it will all be second nature.
>All these responses saying to train while stressed
No, that's not it. You should be doing your actions in whatever environment you feel like. The point of the training is to instil muscle memory that will work no matter if you're stressed or calm. This is how martial arts training works. There's only one way to leg sweep a guy. If you train that move all the time it will happen automatically when someone grabs you in a stressful situation.
Research apollo astronaut training, they were trained to stay coldly efficient during high stress scenarios in case shit went down while they were in space.
No they weren't. The astronaut selection process specifically selected for men who keep cool under pressure. It doesn't actually train that into people. You need "the right stuff" to become an astronaut, and keeping cool under immense pressure is a part of that.
If you hate yourself then you are probably a proactive underachiever. You believe whatever you do will fail. As such you feel no pressure to perform, because you "know" you will not perform well.
You practise...under pressure. Do a mock exercise. If you're not comfortable with violent interactions, go do MMA. It's a safe environment where you can simulate a deadly interaction. A punch to the face feels the exact same in the ring as it is on the street, you get the same anxious feeling in your stomach and experience the exact same adrenaline rush. Get used to that.
Obviously don't risk your life asking for deadly life or death situations, that's basically Russian roulette, but simulate it. Everyone does it in every scenario. Fighters spar, soldiers do training exercises, athletes have training sessions and play matches against themselves, software engineers run tests on their code before they push it to production, scientists do animal and human trials.
Not being rude but it's such an obvious concept. If you want to test a fucking shootout, you can do it with cardboard cutouts and lines in the sand at the very least. Operators run drills in fake buildings to practise their CQB skills, you can do the same. But there's limits. You can't practise a full scale battle outside the military.
train more.
if you have heightened arousal performing something poorly rehearsed performance goes down.
If yoh have heightened arousal performing something well rehearsed your arousal adds to your concentration and helps you perform.
Also doesnt hurt to have stress simulation in your training like sparring in a martial arts.
being a cadet helped alot. so much of the hazing, bullshit and nonsense rules are just there to stress you out to the point where stress is "just water off a ducks back"
with that hunting helps. the "buck fever" adrenaline dumb you get seeing is something to experience, and then making an accurate shot with that going on can be difficult, but gets easier with training.
when you're doing any task randomly stop and punch yourself in the head for a bit. especially if you're in public. if someone says something, just scream. this exactly replicates the conditions of boot camp which were expressly designed to train people to work under pressure. you're welcome.
I don't have an amazing track record or anything but, put yourself under pressure. Or when you find yourself under it, just push forward.
The easiest and safest way is to get into a fighting sport, or a sport involving animals like horse racing, bull riding, etc. And I did some of that. I stopped fucking around with giant animals because I saw a dude get throat kicked by a horse and I didn't just LOVE the sport that much.
I worked in LE for a bit. I did Corrections afterwards thinking it would be easier. Jesus fuck, no it was worse. But I did that far beyond what my limits should have been. Why? Because getting coated in OC every other day and screaming at shitbags was better than being broke.
You have to take yourself to your limit so you can know where they truly are. Emulate the things that Army Ranger school does. Namely, starve yourself for a while. Go without sleep for a while. Go on a ruck March while starved and sleep deprived.
How do you train yourself to preform under pressure
Put yourself in high pressure situations.
Also ask yourself >what do I want to achieve?
Do you want to become the ultimate larper8or?
Then you have to get into gunfights. Since that doesnt happen too frequently (unless you're a nagger) you can just forget about the entire thing.
If you want to learn to keep calm in general, I would recommend working in any department dealing with emergencies.
Become a firefighter, EMS, ICU nurse or something like that.
Especially EMS attracts a lot of retards, but trying to save a life or putting out a real housefire (rare) is probably the only realistic way to experience REAL pressure.
Becoming more courageous and brave historically has always been a huge part of shaping a boy into a man through things like rites of passage. Unironically facing your fears and overcoming obstacles and problems is really the only way. Scared of getting punched in the face? Take a martial arts class and spar. Things like that.
I take the lesson that "what you're afraid of isn't necessarily what's going to kill you." But we need to challenge ourselves, and historically men had mentors who'd guide younger men through various tests with notches and pause periods so you learn how to react to stressful situations, but most of that has gone poof.
Timed tasks with sudden distractions. Learn to focus on the task at hand. The optimum fastest speed is the speed which you can accomplish the task correctly at one attempt. It becomes a muscle memory and more importantly mental pattern you drop into during crisis that keeps you performing no matter what.
put yourself in stressful situations and perform
Unironically, this.

What?
I'm gay btw
But enough about you

Good one, I ALMOST took you seriously.

Most stressful situation for average /k/ommando
talked to a girl once, i'm basically S.A.S. now.

swim deeper
Never save anything for the swim back
It generally helps when you lie down and let her take charge first, and I found that it helps to think of baseball if you want to last longer.

You can't buy it, you gotta live it.
Have you ever had to struggle to survive?
Have you ever experienced real deadly combat?
There is no substitute for these things, you gotta live it.
Better to have someone yelling at you than to die from lack of discipline.
It's a tough love really, like a stern father, to prepare you for this fucked up world.
It's fight or flight, and not everyone has that fight in them, you don't find out until you live it.
In the Bible, God brings thousands of men to Gideon for the revolt against the Midianites.
God tells him that he has too many men, and he needs to filter them out to a smaller number.
First, he allows those who are afraid to go home, like Che, which filters out the cowards among them.
This is important, because you don't want cowards melting the hearts of your men in the midst of battle.
Next, he takes them to the water to drink. Some cup the water with their hands, others drink from it like dogs.
He sends home the ones who drink like dogs, the undisciplined, leaving only 300 brave and disciplined men left.
This was enough to kick things off in a night raid, and they eventually won the armed insurrection by the grace of God.
Compete against friends. Put money, pushups or whatever on the line. Go to a match. Steel Challenge is a good one for new competitors.

Just wanted to say I like your post 🙂

Lmao no
Fuck off, you know I'm correct about this.
All performance is done under pressure when you hate yourself. You adopted the darkness; I was born in it.
If you hate yourself then you are probably a proactive underachiever. You believe whatever you do will fail. As such you feel no pressure to perform, because you "know" you will not perform well.

stand under a hydrolic press and add more pressure per session for ultimate legday
I put myself under pressure, then I start training.
1. get scuba gear
2. go 200m underwater
3. train

this. short answer is do things you're bad at/can't possibly do well, hold on for dear life and keep it together and don't fucking die.
I recommend multi pitch lead climbing.
Go shoot competitions. Especially head to head shoots
I like to all out sprint for a good bit and then practice a few shots to simulate potentially shakey hands, adrenaline etc
I perform dialogue with either my mother in law or father in law. I am ready to face Sauron himself with my dick in hand while asleep from boredom.
Airsoft. It's cheap simround training.
Bump, bump in the mid-afternoon
Put yourself in high pressure situations.
Also ask yourself

Eat copious fat and rotten meat so you are very relaxed
Practice your chords, it uses D A G C F

Learn to shoot slow really fast.
Repeatedly point a loaded gun at your head and apply as much pressure to the trigger as you can without it going off. Eventually you get used to it.
>perform under pressure
simply go to shooting matches and shoot them
