In reponse to this >>26476126 , what are some simple steps

>>26478515
no fap
no porn
clean up morals
work out
get involved in sports/a hobby to meet other people with same interests

Hobbies.

I have none, but I heard they're good

>if you have long hair, cut it short, if you have short hair and still look like a dork, see a stylist.

>If your beard is patchy, shave clean, if it is not, keep it short/stubble.

>If you have yellow teeth, get bleaching strips, they work.

few steps to not dress like an autist:
>wear clothes that fit, seriously, this is probably the most important
>Don't overuse colors, no more than 3 main colors on an outfit, avoid loud colors

>get a cologne, everyone likes you more if you smell better.

>>26478541
Why no fap?

This really is sensitively dependent on your specific situation, OP. I think being consistently motivated is the most important overall theme, but what you actually do to move towards self-improvement really does depend on where you are atm.

First, make sure you actually stay motivated. If your life is fucked or you're depressed, try seeing a psychiatrist, preferably for some meds, or just take the meds on the low.

Once you're motivated, finding a path should be easy, but I can still help. Basic things include starting to lift, having a consistent sleep routine, reading informative shit, etc.

>>26478515
I've been walking a mile or two a day and dieting, i've lost 22 pounds.

Trying to move on in my life, keep telling myself anywhere is better than where I'm at and I've no right to complain about failure when I didn't try to succeed.

I'm desperately trying and failing to cut down on 4chan time though.

>>26478515
try /adv/

I should probably stop gaming. I dont even enjoy it anymore. I just do it because it's a routine now. So I might as well study instead.. I dont enjoy anything actually.

>>26479206
No don't go there, they're a bunch of fuckwits I get sick whenever I read their blend of advice.

>>26479202
If someone is truly depressed visiting r9k might just be the worst thing they can do, it is literally a echo chamber of depression 99% of the time.

>>26479214
I still enjoy some games, but I have like 11k hours on steam and it literally is my biggest problem.

>>26479223
I can't help it, my life has been a downard spiral anyway and I feel that circling around r9k has given me a desperation to improve and not need to be her.

I also need friends and social interaction, can't get them irl and this is a damn good replacement.

>>26478515
1. Why don't these fucking idiots just go to /adv/ and realize people like doing things they don't?
2. Why don't you go to /adv/

There's literally a board just for advice. It's called advice. The board name is an abbreviation of 'advice'.

/r9k/ is not an abbreviation of 'advice', it's not an advice board. It's a board for people to shitpost and bait people and get lots of replies.

>>26479223
And just about everywhere else is an echo chamber to reaffirm ridiculous "positive" delusions about life.

>>26479243
are you seeing a therapist?
orig

We should probably all cut the cord and get rid of internet completely. At one point I couldnt afford internet for a few months and I became so productive. I was constantly studying, cleaning, going out (overwhelming boredom is great motivation) but then I got internet back and reverted to slobdom instantly.

I used to be a fully fledged robot.

But then I joined the UOTC and went on to join the army as an officer. Now I'm physically fit, I'm getting into weight lifting (as well as cardio - yes it's possible, don't get trolled by /fit/) and getting aesthetic, I'm doing the commando course in a few months after which I'll be a commando officer, and all in all I have a pretty fucking good career lined up ahead of me.

It's all a state of mind. I'm now addicted to physical exercise. I love what I do. I love my life. I still have moments of depression, perhaps because I'm just vulnerable to it or have a hormonal imbalance, but it's counteracted by the moments I realise what a great person I am and what a great life/career I have.

>>26479275
I don't want to be a second class citizen just because I get sad sometimes. I'd much rather handle my own problems, I've made some small improvements if I'm not in a better place next year I'd consider it but I'm not suicidal in the slightest and I don't think I could ever be honest with a therapist.

The only person who can help me is me, and I've finally got a reign on that.

>>26479303 here again

There's no trick to it like >>26478541 is saying. Keep fapping and watching porn or whatever. Quitting anything isn't the answer. There is no one single act you can perform that will fix your life. You just have to change your state of mind. You can begin this by starting something like lifting, for example. After a while you will begin to look on people who don't bother to make something of themselves with disdain, because you will have realised that all it takes for you to make it is to simply apply yourself and put some hard work in.

>>26479268
Cause they don't want to give genuine advice, they just want to stroke their own egos.

In reality no amount of hobbies or working out will improve a disgusting looking face that got you rejected by girls numerous times and forever will which will eventually result in you being lonely.

Also no amount of self improvement meme will make you less awkward when interacting with people, so chances are you won't have friends.

With an ugly face + no social circles you will never get a girlfriend and without getting into a girlfriend's social circles you will never make friends on your own cause you're incapable. It's a vicious circle.

The more you age, the harder both of these become, you don't stand a chance as a robot, you'll forever be lonely, self improvement is literally a meme and pure cancer to this board.

>>26479324
I hate cancer like you

>>26479324
>working out will improve your life xD
>trust me, it worked for (instert normies)
You are pure cancer.

>>26479217
Stay out. It's for people who actually want to be helped, not for bitter virgins like you who want validation for their autistic sperging and get assravaged when they don't get it.

>>26479354
you are wrong though, self improvement is possible, you should consider getting help.

>>26479354
People like you don't want to improve. You chose to be a loser, a failure in life, and get angry when someone suggests you don't have to be a failure, that you could do something to improve your situation.

>>26479399
>It's for people who actually want to be helped
No it's for disgusting tumblrites and socialites, I remember some girl was talking about her husband wasn't sleeping with her anymore and they started clamoring for body pics.

And this is why people come here, you dumb normalfuckers. Understand that.

You go anywhere else in real life or online and you will get shitty, generic advice from deluded idiots who still think one day everything will just work out for them. It's a flaw in humans that needs effort to work past.

>>26479392
Working out will improve a lot

>>26479403
>>26479425
The whole point is that there are people out there born into money, who are taller than you, who don't medical or physical issues, who are more attractive than you, who are just superior to you in every single way, who have had this normal upbringing with normal progression of developing into a functional human being that some people don't have.

You're telling a 5'4" guy with arthritis to keep practicing basketball because some day his dreams of being a pro player may come true... and the hilarious thing is you can't see anything wrong with that.

The only thing I can't figure out with you people is whether you're lying because you think that will make other's feel better or you genuinely are just that stupid.

>>26479505
There are ugly manlets out there who get mad pussy. What's your excuse?

>>26479122
Faping makes lazy, as a lot of things you may do, are with the goal to get pussy. With fapping you kill this drive.

>lifting
>get interests
>etc

Good looks doesn't matter, as it is considered to be necessary, what matters is if you're appearable, outgoing, charismatic, etc, which is definitely the part of being good looking, but it's more related with internal condition rather than external. Some of things can prevail over another, and some of flaws would eventually fade away.

Nothing is interesting to me anymore. Having noticed the main traits "successful" people have, it turned out that I can't force myself into being a person who has traits I've mentioned above. That whole thing "fake it till you make it" makes me feel disgusted. I chose the path of escapism.

>>26479525
Nobody is telling you to become a pro basketball player. People are simply telling you to stop being such a massive faggot and man up.

>>26479629
>Good looks doesn't matter, as it is considered to be necessary, what matters is if you're appearable, outgoing, charismatic.
There qualities are products of confidence which is direct result of good looks.

>>26479629
The main traits of 'successful' people is that they're famous/powerful/rich

I've got an odd feeling though that Danny Devito isn't pulling girls quite like Leonardo Dicaprio. I wonder why. He's probably just not charismatic enough :^)

LITERALLY the shit they tell you in high school

stay healthy, don't eat garbage. i prefer cardio to weightlifting.
get a degree in something you enjoy, or something that makes you money
remain true to yourself
reading helps, quality literature, not escapist power. non fiction is better. science is hit or miss, you're much better off getting paid for it
fantasies, but in and of itself it's not any good

to quote this book: soldiers don't think about bravery when they're in a war zone. either you do your duty or you're a coward. either you accomplish what you set out for or you're a failure. environment plays a large part in your development which is why that dude wants to get the fuck out of here. 95% of you are whiny ass bitches and coming here sets the bar so hilariously low for me there's no way this place isn't bad for my mental health.

nice strawman, my man

Good meme, dude

>>26479799
I believe that it's heavily about upbringing. Attractive and normal people go through their early lives with this constant progression of making friends and maturing and learning basic things that make a man. Attractive people always get more attention as kids. The halo effect is real. All this progression of a normal upbringing results in a functional human being.

The alternative is being ugly, with some inherent social issues as well as lifestyle trouble that essentially ruin your normal chances of development. The progression doesn't exist. This person doesn't make friends and they don't do normal people activities. More and more kids are being raised by the internet and this is just an alternative to normal life. These people don't become functional adults.

Anyway, if you're <5'2 and male you can pretty much say goodbye to all leadership roles. You will go your entire life without any respect from anybody. The normalfags solution to this is just to keep trying and feed the societal machine that keeps their own lives running smoothly

It's funny how the cutoff for being normies gets lowered every time you fags get won in an argument
It started with
>4/10 face
which can be fixed without surgery to get into 6/10, 7/10 with the right /fit/ and /fa/ (halo effect works even that way)
and that's pretending that the fag who write that is really 4/10 at "its best" and not a 6/10 lazy deluded and feminine

>awkard personality
literally one of the traits which can be changed without any hard effort
you basically have to start not doing a little shit for a while until it becomes an habit, then move on to the next shit

maybe it's true that it isn't true that nothing it's impossible, but stop being a faggot it's sure possible
and it's also true that year after year it becomes harder and harder
the world isn't fair, but think about it, faggot, even fucking cavemen knew that
and in 2016 you got almost every instrument in your favour if you are man enough to catch them
the thing that makes me full of anger that reading this board it's like reading fucking tumblr, imho the worst site on the whole interweb
complaining about society cucking them, believing they are special, perversion and lust for being a failure, believing in speciality of theirself for being failures, circlerjeking to make their "truths" more acceptable, a lot of stuff like that
So I moved to 4chan seeking for something which was the exact oposite of tumblr and I got tumblr 2.0 : the edgier again

>The man from an age of dissolution, which mixes the races all together, such a man has an inheritance of a multiple ancestry in his body, that is, conflicting and frequently not merely conflicting drives and standards of value which war among themselves and rarely give each other rest - such a man of late culture and disturbed lights will typically be a weaker man. His most basic demand is that the war which constitutes him should finally end. Happiness seems to him, in accordance with a calming medicine and way of thinking (for example, Epicurean or Christian), principally as the happiness of resting, of having no interruptions, of surfeit, of the final unity, as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths," to use the words of the saintly rhetorician Augustine, who was himself such a man. But if the opposition and war in such a nature work like one more charm or thrill in life - and bring along, in addition to this nature's powerful and irreconcilable drives, also the real mastery and refinement in waging war with itself, and thus transmit and cultivate self-ruling and outwitting of the self, then arise those delightfully amazing and unimaginable people, those enigmatic men predestined for victory and temptation, whose most beautiful expressions are Alcibiades and Caesar (- in their company I'd like to place the first European, according to my taste, the Hohenstaufer Frederick II), and, among artists, perhaps Leonardo da Vinci. They appear precisely in the same ages when that weaker type, with its demands for quiet, steps into the foreground: both types belong with one another and arise from the same causes.

The three most important ones are as I describe:

1. Lose weight / Lift: This could be summarized as "have an above-average body". In other words, don't be a fat fuck.

2. Go to therapy: You feel hopeless? You feel sad? You think your life has no path? That's what psychologist are for.

3. Get a hobby: If it turns out that would be going to the gym or practicing some sport, good! You're likely helping the first item.

BONUS: Buy new clothes. No one likes your fedora.

Do people even wear fedoras? This is such a stupid "lel dont be a neckbeard mlady nice guy" myth.

one day you're going to wake up.

your brain is going to be sluggish. you won't be intelligent enough to speak in anything other than the same stupid oversimplified memes. the contemplation of natural phenomena will be lost on you. you'll be pasty and weak, your muscles will be watery. you won't be able to communicate with people except through a fucking computer screen. you won't be able to get off without a fucking computer screen. the perfect blend of man and machine, the 21st century drone consigned to his obselesence and inevitable destruction.

you were supposed to be men. you were supposed to be the ones who saved society when it was in its most fatal hour. instead you retreat into your fantasy realms, your youtube and your screengrabs of women fucking. your vindictive retreat from real women when presented with what you see as irrefutable evidence, the images of women you want fucking strange men. you see the fall of the west coming and you do nothing. in a way that makes you complicit in its destruction. you are the loser masturbating in the corner. you are the fucking cucks.

>2. Go to therapy: You feel hopeless? You feel sad? You think your life has no path? That's what psychologist are for.
Anything worth going to a psych for will probably get you locked away. Psychs are great for people like you though and your little normalfag issues about being sad when people don't talk to you ;(

>3. Get a hobby
In other words, do something you don't like so other people may like you.

I hate this shit. I've tried multiple 'normal' hobbies and didn't like any of them. The only hobby I have that's 'normal' is exercise and I hate discussing it with people because their opinions are usually shit.

>>26480656
One day you'll wake up and be in a hospital bed, all that work you did has finally caught up with you, you're sick from a disease you caught due just normal interaction and people around people constantly. You're about to lose everything you worked so hard to get and can't help but be overwhelmed with emotion, wishing you could have done this or you could have done that.

I'll die, you'll die, we'll all die. That's not a valid argument for me to do things that you enjoy, faggot. You'll never die happy regardless of what you do.

The first step would be to identify your problem areas. You can't fix anything you won't admit is broken.
Second step would be getting a second opinion on the matter. You can't fix things that aren't broken, either. And you'll probably have missed some.
Third step would be to plan to improve incrementally. For example, if you fap five times a day, that's excessive. Going nofap would be setting yourself up for failure. You need to experiment a bit and see what works, what doesn't, and why.

>>26482550
>What am I doing wrong?
Asking strangers on the internet why you have no friends, rather than asking your therapist, who actually knows things about you.

Sounds like you've been on /r9k/ way too long and deluded yourself entirely.

>ugly 4/10 at best face
What makes the 4/10 face? Is it acne, scar tissues, big nose, asymmetrical eyes, large forehead, etc. What the person can do is point out the flaws and try to work with them or facial reconstructive surgery if it's bad.

>awkward personality.
I can imagine a lot of people who think they are awkward probably don't know themselves that well. A good way to work on this would be to get to know yourself better.
