I wouldn't lie in the first place if i knew they would be able to understand the situation

>>18604261
Well mostly because I live at home but I feel like I have no one here I can tell this sort of stuff to. When I have in the past, because I've had difficulties with this before (trying and then failing), if I ever wanted to vent about my plans like how I'm planning to be better and how I'm going to do it and all of my thoughts and fears and excitement etc about it, they'd just say something along the lines of "you're not gonna do that" or "oh, you're just going to go back to doing what you usually do" or some other negative, defeatist thing. Which hurts because they're my family, but what can you do? I wish I could just be open and honest about it but really, if I say stuff and that happens it just makes me feel like shit, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I feel like I can't actually do it because no one supports me emotionally and then I just end up like "ahhh fuck it" and go back to being an asshole basically.

But I wanted to tell someone, and I can do that anonymously here, so here I am. I just wanted to tell someone that I'm at the very start of being on track to not being an asshole anymore. I want to ideally be productive from when I wake up until dinner time, so that then after that I can have my unproductive stuff to do like play video games knowing that I accomplished stuff and got closer to completing my goals earlier that day. Eventually, probably starting next week, I plan on taking dieting and exercise more seriously. I've already been doing pushups almost every day for the past month, up to 50 a day now which feels good, I want to get up to 100 and then start doing other exercises. Build up to doing a half an hour to an hour of exercise every day ideally, that's my long-term goal. Probably going to reduce my daily caloric intake to around 1500 for awhile, or at least 2000, see how that goes. Eat less and exercise more, in short. Hope things work out, just wanted to vent.

Good job for recognizing these bad habits within yourself and starting a plan to change them.

I'm currently doing the same. Best of luck to you OP.Take it one day at a time.

I think the key is surrounding yourself with people who share similar motivations.

With that said, that's easier said than done.

I'm very interested in starting or joining some sort of self improvement group for men. Sort of like a mastermind group that entrepreneurs would attend, but more general and focused on personal development.

I also recommend looking into mini habits. The idea is to pick up to four key habits you want to focus on, find a way to reduce the scope of each habit so much that they can all be finished in less than 10 minutes.

By requiring very little of yourself, you'll ensure that you never break the chain. You'll meet your minimum requirements every day. And most days, you'll massively overshoot. Because once you start something, you'll feel more motivated to finish it.

So, if your habit is "one push-up," you'll have no trouble meeting that minimum every day. And most days, you'll massively overshoot. You'll start with one push-up and wind up working out for 90 minutes.

Nigger just take the money and laugh

and listen to people with finish flags. I would say get a warm clothes, altough now they have summer, but i bet you will stay there until winter.

>>18604224
Stop beibg stupid and accept it. Live in dorms is cool. All girls and boys there are basically horny teens who wants to fuck like rabbits.

>>18604239
I'm not being stupid. I have other plans that i may want to opt for instead of rushing into a contract.

I just want to know what subject to availability means.

>>18604257
It means that unless you give them YES I WANT TO LIVE AT DORMS until that date, you might lose the ability to be there (the space will simply run out).

Also the other scenario can be that they will have space avaiable no matter what.

Drink half a bottle of magnesium citrate or try miralax. Get enough fiber. Drink water. Put your legs up to poop.

This could actually be a haemorrhoid. It will feel like a poo that needs to come out, and you'll sit there pushing and straining. Eventually it will pop and it will be an extremely painful experience.

Good luck.

Your transcript will follow you, and you can't just not include it. There's a number of things you can do though. Try to figure out if you can take remedial classes for those classes you did bad in. If they're transferable between your community college and the university you were at, you can take the same class over again at community college and they will average the grade for that class. If you're not sure, talk to your old university and try to work out an agreement.

The other good news things are
- transfer admissions could be less competitive than standard admissions (easier to get in on the whole)
- most universities take at least a little bit of a "holistic approach" when looking at grades. So if they see that you didn't do well, then took a long break, and now you're getting straight As, they'll take that into consideration during admissions.

However, you must to include your transcript. If you don't, it's "lying about a transcript" (by omission) and will get you kicked out of school. The most important thing you can do now is do very well in community college this time around and mitigate some of the damage you did before through remediation.

I really like chicken seasoning grinders, somehow even though I manage to copy and mix up the spices myself it never tastes quite the same...do you think they just add some MSG? Whatever it is, it's good for BBQ's

>How can I make any friends? Every friend that I've had in the past has either "pretended" to be friends with me and bullied me or rejected me into their little posse. I think it has socially scarred me into being so shy and quiet with anyone else out in public, due to the rejection of my peers. I've tried talking to my relatives yet they give no good advice, so how does one do it correctly? I don't want to be lonely forever.

The answer is simple, you need to become someone whom others don't bully. A person that others will respect. What kind of changes do you think that would entail for yourself?

>>18603852
Instead of choosing random people and trying to make them friends, start by cataloguing your interests and hobbies, and then look for people who share them. With something in common to begin with, you are more likely to develop real friendships

People want entertainment, reliability, and respect. You give them this, and they'll want to be around you. You show them you are to be respected, and they'll want to be your friend.

I always post that I'm unwilling to ship outside of the US for this reason. I would just refund the dude his money, and relist it, with only US shipping available.

Your grave overreaction to things that have no weight in the physical world poses more of a threat to your well-being than this small misstep.

Let it out, collect yourself, and reassess. It's only a failure if you let it end here.

thanks anon, this really helps

No, you merely lost time. Not to say that time is unimportant.

If this score affects your university enrollments then yes, some doors may be closed.
I'm not gonna say you're OK though, failing at school is pretty bad. It's not the score you need, but the ability to work towards something. This means you don't have that ability, and you need to start giving a shit.

exactly like that
tell him you feel uncomfortable, that this needs to stop. If he doesn't stop get HR involved

>>18603706
Report him. If you asked him to stop and he persists then ask him firmly. If he does it once more than report him. He'll likely get into a tone of trouble for that.

>>18603706
I had a dorm mate in college that was like that. I just told him to stop. I'd asked before, and given reasoning, but I got to the point where I just said "Stop. Now."

Also, if he's fucking up your game, just look at him and say, "We weren't talking to you."

If someone is too autistic to get social cues, then be explicit.

Go admit yourself to the looney bin man.

>>18603665
I'm sorry anon. Have you tried doing exersizes to train yourself?
Train yourself to stay calm or in control
To distinguish real from fake
To concentrate on what is real and happening to you cs what you feel.
These aren't easy things to do and they require commitment every day to and lots of introspection. If you aren't cut out for thinking and focusing in not sure what else you can do then therapist or loonie bin.
Good luck op

Anyone !

I think we all do at points in our life.

Don't give up, at least you can still be evil.
