Self Improvement....?

self improve but don't obsess over it

most things don't work out in the end but you can improve slightly. if you obsess over it you will lose your fucking mind and come crashing down.

don't delude yourself into thinking self improvement is actually going to turn you into a normie chad.

>No more 4chan
If your 4chan habits are similar to mine, don't do this short term. I tried to quit 4chan cold turkey and the effects were mostly negative. I ended up spouting retarded shit that I would've otherwise said on here instead and fapping three times more than normal out of boredom.
Maybe do less 4chan or make it a long term goal.

>Have fulfilling sexual relationship with qt

There is no other sort of fulfilling relationship with a qt. Sexual is redundant.

Maybe just switch to reddit? Way less cancerous

Can you blame him though

The internet has become so angry and quick tempered it makes me sad

Like I literally almost cant stand it it sounds so gay I know but just

>>36010432
just trust me. realistic expectation are important.

If you're an autistic NEET who deludes yourself into thinking you're going to become a world beater you will lose your fucking mind when it doesn't happen

>>36010495
Well this makes me want to kill myself now doesnt it

Start lifting weights 3 to 5 times a week. Exercise is crucial to changing your life

Your goals suck. They're vague and don't set a timeline. Make them specific and incremental. Long term goals are a culmination of many short term goals.

>Long term
Be able to do 100 pushups in a row
>short term
Do 3 sets of 10 pushups, increasing by 2 per set each workout, every other day. Test max reps at beginning of first set of the week.

You need to check progress periodically, too. And fucking record that progress.

>>36010306
I want to self improve, but those short term goals are unavoidable.
The only reason why I even do those things is because those long term goals are impossible and buts me in a depressive state. That's leads to fall onto my negative vices.

Life is full of adversity. If you can't handle simple truths like I'm telling you now how are you going to handle real world set backs that go directly against what you want?

Focus on improving YOURSELF. your current position. small steps.

Compare yourself to anyone else and you are doomed.

It's not easy, but it gets easier if you do it every day. Eventually your brain re-wires

Quitting /r9k/ isn't easy so I try positive-posting whenever I'm not lurking

2017 has been good so far

>enter a trade
>become fit

Even if I remain a bitter unlovable asshole at least I'll be in a position to do so without being questioned / have my wellbeing threatened because of it. I'm 24 years old and being in this kind of position in life is terrifying. I suffer from severe life threatening asthma and I'm basically squatting and starving in a friend's house. I can tell the people I live with basically hate me but are too afraid of an autistic outburst to say anything about it. Im working on studying for my GED right now and I'd be in a position to work if I had a vehicle. Unfortunately I've spent the majority of my life drinking and doing drugs after being raised in an abusive home. I think I'm finally coming around to repair my life but of course I'm afraid. The loneliness is crippling but I understand why people don't like me / want to help me.

Do something productive; anything. Start off small and go from there. Like just try and refrain from whatever it is that makes you feel like shit even once or twice, then see if you really feel better after that. If you do then you may find motivation to do better, or less worse.

Or just find whatever it is that makes you happy and do it as much as you can until some sense of purpose and joy returns.

>>36015125
I'm not feeling like shit or anything, just dont see what's good in this shit obsolete world.

>>36015197
Try something different, even if it's for 15 minutes a day. More than a year ago I decided to do 10 pushups every day because I didn't want to be 100% out of shape, after a while it got really easy and I started trying to do harder variations because I didn't feel good if I didn't think I really "pushed" myself. Before I know it I grew to liking the damn thing and now I feel bad if I don't do my daily workout.
Ultimately we can't tell you the magical thing that will get you out this torpor but you need to WANT to get better. Nobody is going to come and save you from your current life.

I'm trying to improve my appeareance, keep practising my hobbies, working towards an education.

Something I would like to get done this year is getting my divers license.

Finally a thread with people who don't just wallow in their own irrelevance and minuscule problems.

This is a good thread, anons
