happiness is a meme

Happiness is for children. Seek fulfillment

>be depressed
>have sex
>fall in love
>become happier
>get heart broken
>refuse to get depressed again
>use emotional energy from love plus refusal to get depressed to start meeting as many guy acquaintances as possible in order to get new friends, as well as getting my ass to the swimming hall
>friends + swimming has turned the short burst of energy into a generator, and even though I still get sad and wish I had a gf, I know that I have worth, which noone can take away from me
>also, I handle stress a lot better

Basically my life.

I'm still depressed so i have no idea

For me absolutely, buy its not directly happiness, it's the feeling of well-being and it gets you away from depressing activities. The most common depression you'd find on a place like here is people that dont do nothing ever. Could spend 10-15 hours in bed every day, stay up late and have no meaning to life. To this type of depression the best ting to get is a rutine and do stuff. If it is a work, walking, lifting or whatever, get a rutine you follow every day. Get up everyday at the same hour, start the day relaxing with good food, then do something.
But in addition to this i belive that working out gets your system to flow different, different hormones or whatever, i dont know what, but its something.

Lifting helped me not spiral into total alcoholism. If there's 90 things going wrong in your life, it's nice to have one thing going right. It feels nice to not constantly be tired and in pain like I was prior to starting.

>>40202482

yes, otherwise I wouldnt know what to do after work.
I feel like a drone without lifting, its like that one hour that pulls me away from this gay shit called life.

I agree with everything you said.

I mean, it's keeping me from wasting away into nothing. If I go to long without doing it or much of anything else my head starts getting fucked.

Focus on getting guy friends and getting into social situations. You'll meet some grills and fail for a couple of years, but eventually, someone will jump you.

coupled with studying stoicism (ethical positions only, its cosmology does nothing for me)

romantic relationships still seem like a complete abstraction though. or at least me being in one
