>not deriving meaning from shitposting on 4chan

if you are depressed you should go see a doctor. there's nothing you can do about it on your own. after that it's pretty simple

>stop visiting 4chan or similar boards (biggest waste of time)
>finish school if you haven't
>get a dog so you are forced to go out at least twice a day to get some sun and exercise
>pick up a hobby that involves socializing (climbing, hiking, etc.) (lifting doesn't count)

Well, life isn't meaningless. The meaning life has, without you doing something, is straight up suffering. There's no neutral mode so you create your own meaning. Simple as that, well not simple, because by creating your own meaning, you also create the conditions of your failure and you, might, be too weak to look that in the eye

I used to feel that way too, now I just lift. I don't need a meaning for life, sounds like an excuse not to lift.

sort yourself out

I didn't go to r9k hoping that at least some of you guys have made it. They probably never will.

Deep down, what do you really want? Do you want someone to teach you how to "man up", "tought it out", learn to act properly, and then offer you a few alternative techniques to becoming a standard successful person, to show you a path out of being a loser, etc? Or do you want to actually have some sense of purpose in your life other than the one assigned to you by social conditioning?

Because a lot of people who proclaim apathy and ennui but at the end of the day just want to find in and become rich, sociable and popular like everyone else, what they resent is the fact they lack the means to it. These people usually make the target audience of a murderous row of charlatans who will tell you to rediscover the lost art of "being a man" or whatever. Don't go down this road, because that's just the sort of fantasy you find comforting when you're too lazy to properly work on self-improvement.

A. Lose weight. From your description of yourself as a fat slob, that is one thing you can change which will provide some sort of reprieve from your self-loathing. Weight loss isn't necessarily "easy" but it isn't difficult to understand. Eat less, eat better, be more active - voila. You can meme yourself like some soccer mom with a bunch of bullshit or you can just do those three things to whichever extent and whichever way is necessary to escape fatfuckery.

B. GET THE FUCK OFF OF /r9k/. Generally speaking "society" is garbo - but don't be the slinking outsider ultimately wishing you were up to snuff by their standards. Don't wear your outsider status as some faggy badge. Fuck them, do what you want, git gud.

C. Don't even preoccupy yourself with the concept of pussy until you've straightened yourself out. Without a sense of self-respect/value you will only appeal to whores and bottom feeders - not worth the time. Whores are fine, but use them for what they are and move along. If you remain a sadsack you'll fall for the classic mistake of fix-a-ho. SAD.

D. You've got to construct or detect meaning. Full stop. You're the only one who will ultimately assign meaning to anything. There is no meaning without the observer/agent, and you won't be observing or acting through anything but yourself. You can perhaps allow someone to make a case for some shit and try it out as a test, but in the end you're going to make the call. Not something which can be forced.

E. Don't directly ask anyone about this shit unless they seem to have their shit together and some sort of interest in helping you. Otherwise it will come off as whinging - which is contemptible.

Self-pity is for fucking children and will DISGUST others, even if they are too kind to express it.

F. Don't be memed by anyone's bullshit program or rob yourself of all present enjoyment because you think it should be some other way.

The only thing that gives meaning is responsibility.
Family, dog, business what the fuck ever, you gotta have responsibilities.

Lead a Traditional lifestyle.

Be fit. You don't have to lift weight, just do calisthenics and run in order to lose weight.
Learn to learn. Read books, teach yourself how to cook healthy dishes, try to learn a new language. You like Mr Robot? Learn how to code.
The easiest way to make friends is to work. Find a job and save money.
Excellence is a habit. You'll learn to respect yourself by doing respectable things. Avoid any other board than /fit/, /lit/ /fa/, /his/, /adv/ and /biz/. Avoid baits and focus on serious threads.

Tradition is important, knowledge which survived through ages is more reliable than any progressive idea. The modern, progressive world rely on a materialistic worldview where desires are meant to be satisfied solely through consumption. That's why you feel empty, because you know there's something more to life than work and buy things.
