>stop watching porn
that might be a bit difficult since porn has become almost a part of me but i can try my best
>if you smoke weed stop smoking weed
no weed so i'm in the clear thankfully
>if you dont, start doing physical exercise
this is my issue, i'd like to exercise but I literally don't know where to start. do i just run or do i follow a set guidline. i don't think any gyms are very accesible to me so i will be training from home with dumbells and such
>if you can afford it, get therapy
not sure if my parents insurance would cover it but i'll check. btw, if a person does not have anything really urgent to deal with with a psychiatrist, what do they even help you with. what is the goal and how do i approach them with this issue.

thanks for the advice btw

you're kinda right on this one.

used to read a lot but the anime got me really quick. it was like reading for me when i was younger but way more potent because i related to it immediately.

what do you suggest? last book i think i read was the stranger by albert camus.

>>17436433
Dude, you're still a teenager. Holy shit. I would do reprehensible things to be able to go back to being 19. I'm 25 now. Your life is just now beginning. Everything up to now has been training.

You can literally do whatever the fuck you want. It's pretty amazing, but it's just as dangerous. There's a huge temptation to do nothing when you can do anything. Everyone goes through slumps and decides to just jack off into their growing bush for 3 weeks, not shower, and watch low budget anime in between CS:GO and mining feldspar on EVE. Eventually you realize that it's pointless, you shave, go outside, and start building something better. Motivation is a flighty thing. Only experience will teach you that it comes and goes, and there isn't really a lot you can do about that. It's profoundly important that you do something valuable every day though. There's no worse feeling than looking back ten years from now and wondering why you wasted a year of your youth. You'll never get that back, and you'll never regret that any less.

You have so much ahead of you. Don't even think about where you came from. It doesn't matter anymore. Ask yourself every day if you're being the guy that you will be proud that you were in 10 years.

>death might come early
Doing stupid shit is really fun. If you know you're hurting yourself, you will regret it. Stop.

no one who has ever accomplished anything had a porn addiction.
go ask/lurk /fit/ for the physical exercise thing.
the therapy thing is because based on your post and that you are here you probably should be talking with some professional and not some NEET on the other side of the planet.
They help you sort your mind out.
Think of your mind as your room, if the only thing you want to do is masturbate and play fucking video games is because your "room" must be a fucking mess.
Therapy is a long process but it has helped tons of people.
I dont know if it is true but even Einstain had a therapist, if some smart ass genius like that dude needed help with some stuff what makes you think you not. Just saying

>feel like my life is over
>18

oh so you have cancer, thats tough luck bud

> I prepared for through schooling and the like has led up to this anticlimactic ending.

oh, you just thought the stuff you did in school mattered...AHAHAHAHAHA

>>17436601
>low budget anime in between CS:GO
this is literally what i'm doing now holy fuck

anyway ya, motivation is non-existent in me. most things i can say are achievements are really my parents forcing me to do them. i think i'm going to just try some stuff out. what's something really out there? i'm going all in RIGHT NOW.

>>17436626
>oh so you have cancer, thats tough luck bud
nah just feel like my life has come to a complete resolution since there is no constant conflict i guess.
>oh, you just thought the stuff you did in school mattered...AHAHAHAHAHA
you're right on this one. i'm learning that now. i used to be an honor student and really take my grades seriously. now i know it's a waste of time after this college bs

>>17436650
How is the college/uni admision system in the US?
Where I live HS grades are really important because them + a national level selection (filter) test are what decide in which educational institution to get. The better ones only accept the ones who have the better score, of course.

>>17436698
US focuses more on test scores, so if you do well on those you're in.

>>17436758
what a dream

>>17436601
I agree with this.

No matter where you are in life, you'll feel like you got there too fast. I'm 22 but I'd fucking kill to go back to 19 and do everything correctly.

Do you travel? Do you have the money to travel for fun? Can you travel? Can you retire? Are there hobbies you want to pursuit? Do you want to make a change in your country, the world, your neighborhood? Will your death even be noticed?

There is always something to do, something to contribute to, something to earn, something to accomplish. Are you considering marriage? Are you familiar with the mental development of children, so that you can be the best parent possible if you choose to be a parent? There is always something to do, a goal to work towards. Fuck it, work out everyday and eat a shit load of food and reject the ladies so you can beef up your confidence for the future.

Tackle your internal struggles. Are there habits you have that you feel like are holding you back from becoming a better person? What is a better person? What kind of person are you? Can you improve your listening skills? Do you understand people? Have you considered reading books on other people, other methods of thinking, other beliefs and their systems?

Just imagine all the shit you could do if you lived forever, and see if you can squeeze it into 20-30 years of living.

just fucking get money tbqh, whatever you can, then when you decide what you want you may have something to start with

this is exactly what was on my mind since i've come to this realization.

thanks for the encouragement. like i said in the original post, that list is way longer and i'm not the best socially, so i'm gonna work on that first.

anyway, i'm headed to bed. thanks for the all the help. this board is encouraging but also really comfy.

>I feel like I'm just waiting to die now. I'm not depressed, and I know my death might come a bit early since I am a bit irresponsible but everything feels too complete now.

This is me at 25 kind of. I'm married (to someone I find kind of boring if I'm really being honest), make six figures, no platonic friends nor desire for them. No real interest in children even if I'm pushed into having them.

Just counting down the days... just another 20,000 or so to go.
