How do I make myself work hard when I feel cucked by working hard? If I work hard then I know someone somewhere had more success with less effort or through a smarter method. I feel like a sucker.
I feel like I need to go outside and savour my youth even though I had no friends or social life all through university (and now) and going to the library or cinema ultimately makes me feel conned, like there was a promise of human / societal connection that never happened. No wonder I spend so much time on 4chan.
I already know I'm asking a stupid question. I already know all advice is trivial and there is no method and so on. The most encouraging advice I can think of is also horrifying: that everything turns in to work when you care about it. I see groups of people at the gym (usually multiple guys and one girl) socialising by acting as unpaid clowns for the girl. This is horrific to watch, as if they've managed to turn relaxing in to a rat race. Of course I'm no better, my "work" is following a lifting routine. Even when I see people boasting about not working or being relaxed it's like seeing them take part in an insouciance pageant.
reroll, faggot
Just kill yourself
get the fuck off 4chan and never come back, you're obviously not mature enough to separate memes from reality

Easier said than done normalfuck. I've spent thousands of hours here. This is my home, but i do wish I could leave.

regarding lifting, consider what would happen if you stopped training.
you don't need to do everything (training, diet, sleep, etc) perfect to get results.

You don't focus on other people, you find something you want to achieve, set a goal and then do it. How do you measure effort? How do you measure success? Who cares if someone is achieving "more"? It's not about achieving a lot, it's about achieving specific things that are important to you. If you're worried about others doing less work than you then you probably don't care about your goals enough. Sort yourself out you're a fucking mess anon.

Enjoy the process of working.
Stop focusing on the result, you little bitch.
You overthink everything like a faggot.
Stop.
It's just what being young does to your brain. You're obsessed with "getting there" while you're still young. You'll get over it once you get older and realize that the pressure of failing is over because you've already failed, and so has everyone else around you.
You don't necessarily realize how much other people have worked or sacrificed. Some guy who portrays himself as a slacker but succeeds in his career and meets a lot of women might be lagging in his lifts or bored out of his mind at his job or struggle to actually keep a girl around.
