I'm writing this here because a lot of you guys seen really dedicated to improving your lives, but you also seem depressed a lot.
I'm in the same boat and recently went through a really tough period of life I'm trying to work out of.
Everyday, just write out things you are grateful for. Do this for 10 minutes. This is cheesy self-help 'bs' but it will INSTANTLY begin making your life better.
Do this for 2 weeks and your life will have improved a noticable amount; I guarantee it.
I don't know how to explain it, but it's like part of your brain "turns off" when you are resentful toward life or other people. You'll fail to see straightforward solutions to your problems, and you'll seemingly always do things wrong, so that no matter how hard you work, you fuck something up.

sounds like something only beta faggots would do.
This is what your post boils down to:
"if you are a depressive beta faggot loser, you should try this thing that only faggot beta losers do"

Viewing life in terms of a single totally ordering dominance hierarchy across humans will fuck your life up (from personal experience)

>How to instantly improve your life
Stop masturbating.
Stop coping that it doesn't work.
1. Boosts your energy levels
2. Lowers depression and anxiety
3. Let's you look girls in the eyes

Not wrong . For me jacking off seems to be a lagging indicator (I jack off when I'm fucking up in general and I jack off little when I'm approaching life in general well)

>I jack off when I'm fucking up in general
for me when i start it gets worse and I get miserable and self-loathing

This is actually what successful and happy people do. People who express themselves like you are the true "beta faggots"

I actually started creep-shotting my crush when I'm around her so I can masturbate when I get home on her videos. Porn doesn't turn me on but goddamn do those videos get me hard. I've been doing it for about a month now, have over 50 slow-mo videos that are about 15 minutes each of her ass while she's moving or tits and face and generally a mix of everything since she wears really tight clothes.
I feel it keeps me from actually being curious about her body and being attracted to her which is probably ruining my chances to actually make a move and step-up my game. Fuck

I do something similar to this called morning pages. Basically every morning you do 3 pages of free hand stream of consciousness writing. You can just be absolutely brutal, say whatever youve been holding in. Sometimes you surprise yourself. Doing it first thing in the morning helps you get past the part of your brain that "censors" what you ordinarily say. It's pretty powerful stuff

Gratitude is really important. Its just so hard to be mindful about what you have and how good you have it. Every morning after waking up, i instantly speak out loud what i am grateful for. Before going to bed, i write 5 things down that i accomplished that day. I feel really happy almost every day, even though there is so much i dont have.

the sole purpose of them is to align my actions throughout the day with what i want, its working pretty well
the past few days i've been going through similar 'worst case' social situations over and over and each time it gets better and better, not because the world itself changes but because i am
at the end of the day, just focus on whatever it is that gets you going about life, and just focus on that
