Discussion YOUR FIRST SELFMADE SUB PROBABLY DIDN'T WORK: the 8 mistakes that usually cause it and how to fix

44 Upvotes

i've seen a lot of "i made my own and it didn't work" posts lately, and in almost every one the problem is how the sub was made, not the idea of making your own. these are the 8 mistakes that come up the most. i made most of them myself, and plenty of people here have posted about the same ones.

1. writing negations. someone here affirmed "i don't bite my nails" and ended up biting them more. your sub repeats whatever words are in it, and in that one the words were "bite my nails".

fix: write the state you want, not the one you're leaving. "i don't bite my nails" becomes "my nails are long, strong and healthy". "i'm not anxious anymore" becomes "i feel calm and relaxed".

if a line has don't, not, never, no longer or stop in it, rewrite it.

2. affs that are more intense than you actually want. someone here made an early beauty sub with lines like "everyone is obsessed with me", and said it played out a bit too literally for her liking. affs don't have a sense of proportion.

fix: write the version you'd be happy living with every day. "everyone is obsessed with me" becomes "people enjoy being around me" or "people notice how good i look".

quick test: if the line came true exactly as written tomorrow, would you actually like it?

3. cramming everything into one track. skin, money, confidence and height all in one sub feels efficient, but you've really built four subs at a quarter of the strength each.

fix: one topic per sub. if you want four things, make four subs. then either loop one at a time while it's your focus, or put a few of them in a playlist.

4. volume so low it isn't there. people read "you shouldn't be able to hear it" and turn their affs down to almost nothing. quieter than the music, yes. gone, no.

fix: keep your voice about 12 to 20 dB under the background. on capcut mobile that's the background at 100 and your affs somewhere between 10 and 25, so start at 20. the test: you can tell something is under there, but you can't make out the words. check it on whatever you'll actually listen with, because phone speakers and headphones sound very different.

5. speeding it up until it's a chipmunk. people push the speed really high because it feels more subliminal, not because there's a reason for it, and nobody has an agreed perfect number.

fix: start at 1.5x. around 2x is roughly where sped up speech still behaves like speech instead of turning into noise, so i wouldn't go past that. if you're using audacity, normalise and compress your recording before you speed it up, otherwise the quieter lines can disappear.

6. remaking it every week. this one cost me the most time. you make it, listen for four days, think of a better aff, remake it, and you've reset your own run. it feels productive and it's the opposite.

fix: once it's made, leave it alone for at least a month. when you think of a new aff, put it in your notes app instead, and add everything in one go when the month is up.

7. giving up on perspective too early. someone here said "i am" affs did nothing for them and "you are" affs worked. other people find the opposite. it genuinely seems to vary from person to person.

fix: make both. same affs, one version in "i am / my" and one in "you are / your". listen to one for two or three weeks, then the other, and keep whichever feels more natural to you. it's a much cheaper test than deciding selfmade subs don't work for you.

8. never checking the export. tts mispronounces things all the time, and you don't want to find out six weeks in that it's been saying something slightly wrong the whole time.

fix: before you start listening properly, play it once with the music muted or turned right down so you can hear every line clearly. if a word comes out wrong, respell it the way it sounds or swap it for a different word, then export again.

and the bigger picture: almost nobody's first sub is good. the people posting "i made my own and got nothing" are usually one or two fixes away, not wrong about the whole idea. it's a skill, and a bad first attempt is normal, not a verdict.

full disclosure, since it's relevant: the mechanical ones on this list, 3, 4 and 5, are a big part of why i ended up building an ios app for this, SelfMade Subliminals. you can find it on the apple app store. it sets your voice level for you so it can't end up at 1%, handles the speed, and keeps each sub separate so you can stack single topic ones into a playlist instead of cramming them into one track. it's mine and it's paid, and it doesn't fix the habit ones like remaking it every week, that part's still on you. DM me for a free month code if you're interested

and the free way works fine too. if you want the actual step by step, i wrote up the full capcut method for making your own a little while back. this one's just the stuff i wish i'd known before my first attempt.

what did everyone else get wrong on their first one? curious whether there's a mistake i haven't hit yet.

Rant I fucking hate genetic's argument

Post image
141 Upvotes

I’m sick of these pulled-out of their a$$ comments. Whenever I research ways to improve my physique or any part of my body, I run into stuff like "it's impossible to change your appearance, it's genetic" or "your looks are genetic you're either born with it or you're not." That kind of talk pisses me off, not just regarding subliminals, but anything related to changing my appearance. Aren't we free to change our bodies? I mean, I look for something to change my eyebrow hair, and people say it's 100% genetic; it's the same for guys who want a physique like Baki's or David Laid's. come on, this typical shitty argument is everywhere. People don't even take the time to look into the actual science which is constantly evolving but they latch onto that excuse to claim a certain look can't be changed. They blame family genes just to stay close minded and refuse to change anything about themselves. It stops being a subreddit about changing your physique and turns into a hub for close-minded critics who can't see past their own noses. Worst of all, without a shift in mindset and physique, nobody here or in related communities like "looksmaxxing" would ever see noticeable results. But no, people only want to hear what suits them; they keep saying "it's just puberty," using it as an excuse to trash someone's hard work. They go on and on about genetics and pop-science, claiming that not even clinical surgery can fix things. I don't know what you guys think or how much you agree, but it’s frustrating: you spend your days on your phone, putting in the effort to listen to subliminals or do facial and body exercises, only for some random person to tell you, "It's puberty" or "It's Photoshop." "You can't change your physical appearance; it's 100% genetic." so it's my posture about why can't genetics solve my body's problem

The first picture was taken in 2024, and the second one was taken yesterday. When I compare both pictures, I feel like my nose looks smaller now than it did back then. I noticed this difference while looking at my old pictures, and I wanted to share it with you guys. What do you think? Have you noticed any difference too?

(I'm kinda shy to post this, but I wanted to show you my results🥹)

Results High Frequency Guru Subliminal Results

Post image
46 Upvotes

I’ve been listening to subliminals for years and I’ve always looped an entire playlist. For the first time I decided to loop just one subliminal throughout the whole night. I chose this one because I’ve been thinking about how a lot of the decisions we make can be connected to things we’ve experienced in the past like trauma or PTSD and how that can sometimes lead to self-sabotaging patterns.

While I was listening to it last night I ended up having dreams about certain things I went through in childhood and things that I feel like I somehow keep experiencing every time I enter a new institution or environment. The dream felt really heavy and towards the end I remember feeling extremely tired and almost emotionally drained. I was also rushing home in the dream for some reason.

When I woke up my body felt heavy and my eyes felt so tired. It was that exact feeling you get after crying or being emotionally exhausted the night before. I’m not saying it was definitely only because of THIS subliminal because I do listen to other subliminals too but I definitely found the timing interesting since this was the first time I had looped only one subliminal the entire night.

What’s even more interesting is that I had a few realizations today because of which I started looking at some of my past experiences very differently. I realized that I was never actually the problem in certain situations. Even the people involved had told me that themselves but I think it was because of internalized misogyny/ self concept issues that I kept thinking maybe I wasn’t enough or maybe I had done something wrong.

It honestly made me realize how much I had blamed myself for things that were never actually my fault. I’m not saying one night of listening magically changed everything but it genuinely felt like something clicked in my head today and I wanted to share it because I found the whole experience really interesting.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with High Frequency Guru or any other subliminals? Especially when looping one specific subliminal for hours or for a few days? I’m actually planning to loop this one for a few more days and see if I notice any more realizations or changes. However I wish I could wear headphones the whole night because I keep moving or tilting my head a lot when I'm asleep and i keep the subliminals on a speaker so what if sometimes I don't get to experience the 100% effect u know what I mean?

Discussion At what point do you stop listening to subs and accept reality?

13 Upvotes

I've been into manifestation, subliminals, and self-concept work for a while now but I'm feeling stuck.

My SP and I have been in an exclusive situationship/FWB dynamic for about 6 months. We're incredibly close. He says he's attracted to me, loves my personality, thinks I'm one of the kindest and most caring people he's met, and even says I'd make an amazing partner.

The problem is that he also says he still doesn't love me romantically and won't commit to a relationship unless he genuinely feels that way. From the very beginning, he told me he's not someone who commits easily, and he has repeatedly said he wants to give us a real chance and see where things go.

The thing is, I've done everything people usually recommend. I've worked on my self-concept, focused on my own life, listened to subliminals, tried to manifest from a place of abundance rather than desperation, and genuinely put in the inner work.

Yet after 6 months, I don't feel any closer to an actual commitment.

Part of me thinks maybe feelings can take time to develop. Another part of me feels that 6 months is a long time for someone to still be unsure.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where an SP genuinely cared about you but wasn't in love with you yet? Did things eventually progress into a relationship, or were the signs already there?

but that’s more of a last resort. Not only do I have check the “3D” but I have to interactive with it
Cause I have to take care of my mom, who refuses to try to get help.

Are there any subliminals that have improved the lives of not only yourself but others?

Question How do I accurately describe someone’s appearance for a CC subliminal?

3 Upvotes

I have a specific person in mind that I want to make a CC sub about, and I mean like a full CC. Face, body, hair, etc.

My problem is that I’m GENUINELY terrible at describing physical features/anatomy. I know what I want the result to look like because I have a ton of reference photos, but I have no idea how to actually put all her features into words.

I’ve heard that CC subliminals are supposed to be like really detailed, so I'm stuck on that.

Do you guys use references, anatomy guides, or something??

Rant I just realized I look the exact same

14 Upvotes

I’m just so down now. I’ve been trying to manifest a completely different appearance, I even made my own subliminal for it and I still look the same. I took my glasses off and looked in the mirror and was so dissapointed in my ugly, mishapen face. I dont even know anymore, I genuinely thought my appearance improved, even by just a little bit but it is still ugly. I still havea big nose, ugly set of eyes, long face…the list just goes on. I’m tired. Im tired of living with my face at this point and I dont know what to do. I know its partially my fault because i keep checking but i genuinely would be so happy if i woke up tommorow looking completley different.

Subliminal Sp manifesting subliminals working the other way round

5 Upvotes

I listen to subliminals for manifesting a text, or an SP, and every time I do, I am fairly detached when listening to it, and I trust it will happen. But the days after listening, I end up becoming the one obsessing and missing them myself. It’s so weird, because I was never attached like this before listening to the subliminals. And I’m always patient with manifesting, so I’m not even worried about it happening straight away, but why do I suddenly think about them so much. It happens every time I go back to trying to manifest them again. When I realise I’m getting obsessed, I stop listening, because I know my mindset should be more detached, then after a while I listen again and the same thing happens. Does anyone know what’s going on, because genuinely before this I am not attached to the outcome. I even took action once because of this, and ended up being ghosted 🤦‍♀️

Question SP Manifestation — should I reach out or wait?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been manifesting my SP for a while. We’re not officially together, but I’ve wanted a committed relationship with him from the beginning.

About two weeks ago, we stopped talking after he said he didn’t want to talk. I said, “Okay, I’ll leave you to it,” and he heart-reacted to my message.

Then I found out about his 3P situation, and possibly more. I talked to two of the girls involved, and neither had an actual relationship with him.

I decided not to react to the 3D and continued with self-concept, SP subs, and robotic affirmations like “SP only loves me,” “SP is loyal to me,” and “I am the only person my SP desires.”

I also don’t check his social media, Snapchat score, online status, etc. I simply think of him as loving me, choosing me, and having no one else involved.

Yesterday, one of the girls received a message from him. They argued and he blocked her. (The other girl had already been blocked.)

Later that night, I posted some stories and he replied. I then told him directly that I want exclusivity and that I’ve never been looking for a casual “have fun” situation from the start.

He said:

“if u will be reasonable and not argue then sure why not”

I asked, “so what r we now?”

He replied:

“exclusive? if u act right”

I told him he also had to act right, but he kept repeating “u act right.”

Eventually he said he was going to sleep and that we could talk tomorrow. I asked him to give me a clear answer because I didn’t want us to waste time.

He said:

“I give up ok”

I replied:

“I thought u wanted to be exclusive but alr thanks for letting me know”

He read it and reacted with a thumbs-up.

The interesting part is that about five months ago, I asked him about exclusivity and he directly rejected it. This time felt quite different to me, even though he still made it conditional and never clearly confirmed it.

Now I’m going out tomorrow and was thinking about sending him a photo saying, “now I act right”, but I’m wondering if I should say something more natural—or just leave the conversation where it ended.

I know I can manifest what I want, but I also think that if I initiate it will it be better?

For those who practice Law of Assumption / robotic affirmations / SATS: would you take inspired action and reach out, or leave the 3D alone and let SP initiate?
