I'm still taking care of my body everyday through lifting and cardio. Also training to be more even keeled with my emotions.


My Dad doesn't take care of himself that much and has kind of an anger issue at times. But he's a pretty well rounded individual and a good man and father. He could of been more successful in his business pursuits but he put himself out there and was willing to take the risk. I know not everyone succeeds so taking the risk is counts to me. I respect him a lot

I've been sorting myself out since April. So far I've:
>quit weed
>quit tobacco (still struggling a bit)
>quit porn
>started fapping only at weekends
>started playing vidya only at weekends
>started working out (3x a week)
>started eating right (finally escaped skinnyfat mode)
>started socializing
>started taking my studies seriously (I had almost dropped out, EE)
I worked at all these all summer, and it payed off tenfold when I went on vacation, best time I've had for years.
For reference, I'm 23yo, and I spent the past 4 years of my life staying inside, hating the world, smoking weed, fapping and playing vidya every fucking night. I'd probably killed myself in a couple of years. Right now the hard work is paying off, and the future seems a lot brighter (although I've still got tons of work to do). If I could do it you can do it.

It's only been a couple of weeks, and I'm still struggling and truth be told I've slipped a couple of times
I've gone through quitting tobacco, and I would even say that porn has been harder, probably because the detrimental effects are not that obvious. Porn is like tobacco and coke (although much lesser, and without the addictive chemicals) in the sense that it's your dopaminergic systems that are urging you to partake. Basically, your brain has been wired to believe that porn = reward, and so it pushes you to watch it with the same systems that it uses to urge you to eat when you are starving. Those are the hardest addictions to break, and for good reason.
The first thing you have to do is to break the mental pathways. That takes a few days depending on the person, and you have to endure cravings. Stay away from every source of porn, distract yourself, and keep doing it until those cravings subside. It doesn't take long.
After that, however, is the final and maybe most important part, which is to go back to doing whatever you used to do, and go from a person who is actively avoiding porn to a person that doesn't use porn. You'll want to go back to browsing the chans, checking whatever social media you use etc, and while you still shouldn't seek out porn, you shouldn't actively turn your head away when you come across it. The reason being, you now have to break the associations, and you are still 1-2 weeks into the breaking of the habit, so you still have the determination and the motivation to keep going. If you don't do that sure, you'll stay clean, but once you come across a hot webm a month in you'll immediately get a boner and you'll go "fuck it".
Also, you'll want to keep a note with the reasons you don't want to watch porn anymore, it'll be useful when you're 1 month in and on the verge of going "fuck it". And find a way to reward yourself. You're breaking an addiction goddammit, that ain't fucking easy!
This is a very rough guide, so ask away.

>lifting

Lifting, in the words of the great philosopher Bugenhagen, is the catalyst for bigger and better things in your life. Once you start lifting properly and regularly, you start to see fields of your life as a series of goals to complete -work, family, social, health, sport etc - instead of just things you have to tick boxes in to survive. Kind of like an mmo, if that makes sense. I'm building myself as a character.

I've gotten a good job straight out of uni by following up on contacts (and making those contacts in the first place through internships and research and whatnot while in uni) in a company well-known in the industry. I've got my first paper coming out in a journal in 6 months. Now it's just a matter of doing good work and working my way up old mate's dominance hierarchy.

How should I start sorting myself out?
>>
Trying to sort myself out proves to be harder than I thought.

It's a 24/7 job really, because I just picked the highest fucking goals that just take work and work and work and work. I keep working on the most important one, but it feels like I burn myself out with just that and avoid my other goals.
Doesn't help that I spend too much time on this stupid website. Maybe I should just block it for good. But I like you guys.

>>42850752
Do it anon, self improvement is the only thing that gives meaning to life.

>>42850798
What worked for me is starting with smaller goals and than once those become easy move onto the harder ones. Instead of forcing yourself to work out 7 days a week for 1.5 hours just start with 3 days a week. Instead of cutting out smoking, drinking, fapping make it once a week. Than once you have accomplished those goals you can move onto the harder ones

>>
>>42850830
maybe I should be more specific

There are currently no small goals to tackle, my life is generally pretty much in order and nothing stands out
But that's the issue. Nothing stands out. Lifting works just great for me without having to put much effort into it. University is going great without having to put much effort into it.

Around new year's I decided to learn japanese and find a japanese girlfriend though. And that's my primary goal right now because I'm already 24 and feel like I need to start moving toward marriage at some point.
My other goal is to develop a videogame. But that's even more work and this goal is suffering badly because I'll literally spend 4 hours a day learning Japanese, 2 hours lifting and then I'm D O N E.

Hey mate. I'm in no way an expert, and I'm still struggling, but here's what I'd recommend for getting into JBP and the process of sorting yourself out
A small intro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhweDo14bDM
First of all, watch JBP's first interview on Joe Rogan. It's a good outline of what he's about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wyGK6k6HE
After that, I'd recommend you look around and check out some small clips of JBP
Start with these
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnaASd6Vm58
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVhj_phpAYQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuhpaWsbFuU
Look around for more, there's a hundred of channels cannibalizing his videos and putting out clips, this one has the most content afaik
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo9QgwWCNEhDxL1gH-jxa8Q
You can spend weeks just watching small clips, they're enough to give you the gist of why and how you should sort yourself out, or you could dive into his lectures. In that case you should start with these
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22J3VaeABQApSdW8X71Ihe34eKN6XhCi
I'd also recommend buying his self authoring program, I've bought it myself and it has helped me a great deal. It's pretty much a step-by-step method to write an autobiography, evaluate yourself, and, most importantly, write a plan for the future.
In fact, I'd recommend you start the future authoring program right away, it's the most useful tool in this process. Since, however, you probably don't want to shill out 30$ on the word of some anon that might as well be a shill, here it is for free.99$
https://pastebin.com/BiFE2fUX
It's missing the functionality of the website, but you can easily make it work
Finally, here's a guy in his 30s sorting himself out and putting out a vlog every week or so, I've been following him in parallel to my own progress
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2i_hx_UfauBFh5DA3YWfDg

my father was a chad that ran around impregnating random women not giving a fuck. As a result I was raised without a father and ended up homeless in my early teens after my mother gave up and abandoned me. Being homeless as a teenager fucked me up really bad far worse than having a single abusive mother. 10 years later I still have no fucking idea how to be a man or to undue the psychological damage I faced in my life. A bright future is a work of fiction.

Hell no dude, you're pretty much the targeted demographic (20-30), and peterson has said that even people in their 50's will benefit from doing it.
Keep in mind, it's not some miracle self-help bullshit that will solve all your problems - it's a guide to collect and write down your thoughts, clear up your past, evaluate your present, and plan for the future. Also, it's not something you do once - you are supposed to go over it first, do it badly, then correct it and keep changing it and tweaking it as time goes by.

Start working on your video game, even if it just doing tutorials/making demos at least every week. Set one day where you will do 1 hr (otherwise you will just push it off until tomorrow). Maybe cut an hour from lifting or Japanese once a week. After a few weeks it will become like clockwork, and then when you don't need to spend as much time on the other things you have more time for your game. It doesn't even matter if you are making much process; working on the game will get your habits in order

My dad was great and taught me how to succeed academically, but he didn't pass on any other skills. He was an introvert with no friends and passed his time in the home all day, every day. As a result I have no social skills and can't connect with anyone. Conversation feels alien to me and I'm not sure I'll ever grasp it. I don't blame him for it but it really would've been nice to not have a secluded weirdo dad.

just remember before you judge that your dad thought he would be a millionaire playboy by now and instead he has no friends, a fat wife, and an ungrateful child who judges him anonymously online instead of speaking about his problems to his face.

anon your dad had all the same dreams and passions as you, and he fell in deep deep love with a woman who probably poked a hole in his condom and so she could get fat and never work. his job sucks and his family judges and hates him despite the fact that he gave up everything he wanted to work a shit job and live in a shit house and his life is no where near what he wants it to be etc etc

Same here. He's a total prick and really verbally abusive. Didn't teach me anything I can remember growing up and he lies about everything and tells people I'm so spoiled and have everything.

Don't even know what to do with the man because he's absolutely unrepentant about anything and everything is always everyone else's fault and he just laughs at some of the poor ways he treated my mom.

My Dad literally decided at age 46 that he wants to learn piano and he just fucking did it. He is not that great but hey, hes 51 now.

> makes 250k
> owns three houses
> made us kids work for the bullshit we wanted but always paid every educational stuff we wanted to do

I am super grateful and love my Dad. Fucking edgy teenage me treated him without respect but its all good now.

Only 9/10 because

Never hit us but damn, the guy can shout you down
> never had a dad so he doesnt know all that typical Dad conversation stuff


I just hope I can make him proud by being successful in life and as good a father to my kids as he was to us.
Thank god for my Dad.

What my father has that I also want
>Multiple kids (5)
>Stable family (he remarried and had some more kids but still manages to be active in mine and my sisters lives)
>In shape, was into body building through his late twenties and early thirties, runs marathons in his 50's and is now preparing to try for iron man at 56.
>Work like a fiend, he has put in a good 60-70 hour work week every week for the last 40 years.
Things I want that he didn't have
>Education, finish my bachelor in software engineering, dad spent his life working laboring jobs
>Start a business, already spent a few years studying business/accounting at uni, want to end up spending 70 hours a week working for myself rather than somebody else.
>Avoid ending up divorced, he married my mother (genuinely unstable woman) when he was young, want to avoid this more than anything else
>Find faith, my father was religious in his youth but lost his faith after my mother. Was raised semi religious but never fully got into it want to put some time into this soon.

Thanks man. I'm feeling very hollow these days; have been for past two years really.
I mean it's not so bad, certainly not depressed like some people here, but what really got me thinking was "When's the last time I DIDN'T feel like this?"
I just wanted to teach fencing and make movies as a kid and young adult. But I did a BA of English, so now I'm in Mexico teaching ITESO which isn't too shabby but I now know this ISN'T what I want to do. It's just my "Money Career" if that makes sense?

I've been a resident alien of the US since I came here at 4 years old but due to sheer laziness I've never gotten around to filling for naturalization even though I've been eligible to become a citezn for years but I finally sent off the forms today. In six months I'll finally be US citizen. I have other things to work on as well but that's something I've been meaning to get around to and I'm finally doing it.

>here's a guy in his 30s sorting himself out and putting out a vlog every week or so
i don't know about that guy, it is a bit tragic to be documenting it as if he needs the help and support of others in order to slay his dragon.

he needs to change himself and become someone else by himself, not with others holding his hand and giving him validation. i suppose other people may find it useful to watch, but i see it as a cynical ploy for the bald guy to turn himself into some Elliot Hulse type guy offering $15 ebooks and a patreon.

Fair enough mate, I mostly posted his channel as a potentially helpful resource, especially for people that are past their 20s and believe it's too late for sorting. I started watching his channel when I quit weed myself and found it quite helpful to watch someone go through the same withdrawal.
Sure though, I get what you are saying. Feel free to disregard his vlogs if you find no value in them for yourself. I'm still watching him but I'm not too eager to invest in his work besides that, after all we are all doing the same thing he is doing, apart from filming it and uploading it.

>no friends, no social life, no gf
i like jordan peterson and want to SORT MYSELF OUT but i feel like i'm so far down into hell, roughly speaking, that i don't know how to get out. well the first step i think would be getting a job, any job. but i have no skills and no work history which is huge red flag for someone with a degree and i also can barely enact a transaction at the grocery store without spilling spaghetti everywhere. i'm in "decent" shape (can do 30 pullups, calisthenics in park cause can't pay for gym) but that's literally the only thing i have going for me.
don't want to kms but it feels hopeless.

You're in the underworld m8
Only way out of there is to be honest
To yourself and to the people you interact with
Your honesty is your shield and your sword
And your compass

The truth is your guiding light
These are the tools to navigate yourself out of there
Learn to use them

Its never to late, shit will only get even more worse, hellish if you, if you dont confront your dragons nigga
