Self improvement general.

If you do drugs, don't.

If you want to lose weight, eat less calories than you use.

>>36553171
I just don't see how I could improve, I always feel so tired, so estranged from the rest of society and so addicted to Vidya and internet surfing....

>>36553171
I think we should focus on motivation
How can we have a job, study, work out, have good hygiene if we don't have any motivation for any of it?
Motivation is the basis of a healthy life
Another thing is
We use too much entertainment to be able to achieve anything
>Anime
>Vidya
>Netflix
>YouTube
>Apps
>Memes
>4chan

We waste too much time on all of these things
After motivation, we need self control.

Lol i thought you gugs hated all those "inferior dumb normies." Why all of a sudden you want to achieve normiedom?

Robots only hate normies because they're jealous of them. They secretly want to live their lives. Same thing with women. Biggest reason they hate women is because they don't get pussy, but normies do.

But there is so much more to aspire to anon.

After you start on the path of self improvement, there's no point in aiming so low as a normie.

>>36553606
>Biggest reason they hate women is because they don't get pussy, but normies do.

Also all women are sluts, yet... only guys who can't get sex say that. So they pretend that they never wanted it to begin with, or at least, they never wanted it from -those- girls. Only a pure virgin will do.

>>36553456
>>36553456
It's all bitter jealously

They act this is the superior choice
Truth is, nobody wants to be like this

Doesn't matter how much women hate threads they post here
In the end of the day, you see a cute girl and you want that.
Doesn't matter how many wagecuck threads they post here
You see somebody with a career and respect
And you want that
It's time for /r9k/ to stop lying to themselves.

>>36553626

>Blames self for world

>Somehow this makes you "mature"

What the ever-loving fuck?

>>36553710
We only do it because we are so estranged from society and it feels almost impossible to become normal, so we basically treat normalfags as separate species

>>36553753
That's a broad generalization, anon. I'm sure there are people who fit the robot criteria and dont think like a hypocritical manchild, but for the most part what you said is true

Stop masturbating to build up your testosterone, helps with confidence and will give you the hormone push you need to ask that girl out

>>36553682
If we are riffing on R9k/incel congitive dissonance, something that really irritates me is how they'll complain about women not following traditional lifestyles, then complain about the characteristics that develop in women who live traditional lifestyles.

If your girlfriend stays at home all day, cooks, cleans, looks after kids and chats with her friends then she is going to be pretty fucking boring in terms of her interests.

A girl who has been married to the same guy since she was 20, has no single life experience outside of her relationship and no real interests outside of her family isn't going to be the best conversational partner.

>>36553778
Yeah but why do a lot of you guys gotta be so smug about it?

>>36553816
Because it lets us own it, in this way we stop playing by normies rules and create our own

>>36553456
I hate normies because of how they treated me. I hate normies because when i was minding my own business theyd come up to me to comment on what i was doing. I hate normies because when I tried to talk to them they scorned and rejected me vecause of my status. I hate normies because when i tried to better myself in improve my status they attacked me to keep me down and ensure they always had someone lesser than themselves.

I dont resent normies because theyre smart, rich, fit, well dressed or attractive and why would I? I have respect for anything anyone has accomplished and I wish luck to anyone trying to better themselves because I cant do anything besides this - Ive been there, hell, I am there and I hate normies because they dont seem to have a shred of empathy or compassion for those in this position. Why are they like this? I dont know and I cqn only hypothesize its because theyve never been there; everybody wants to be accepted and have companionship but normalfags have always known it and cant imagine a world without it.

>>36553813
It just perplexes me on how they claim to know so mucb about women and womens' psyche (if you post something they disagree with, roastie detected etc) yet they have very little experience with women outside of the internet.

Its just odd.

>>36553778
They're not separate species
There's a myth this board is filled with fat neckbeard neets, when in fact they're a minority
I've been in several threads where robots posted faces
And guess what?
Most people here are average.
The problem is porn set an expectation so absurdly high that they all want the blonde Stacies just like Elliot wanted.
Most people here can become normies.

>>36553837
So its all just about "one-upping" normies so you hace something to feel superior about? Or about being accepted here by your own rules since "normies" rejected you?

>>36553813
They'll also complain about women not following traditional roles... while they themselves are directionless unemployed men who occupy their time with videogames and anime.

>>36553171
hey kids don't make your neutrality to life contingent on weed UNLESS YOU HAVE IT AT ALL TIMES. When you run out you WILL be antsy and wanting to end it all so just MAKE SURE you have a steady supply of weed

>>36553861
a five minute conversation with a rural housewife who got married young would absolutely destroy any notion of the ideal traditional woman.

>>36553905
Holyshit this. Not enough people realize how lowkey addictive weed is.

>>36553813
The biggest cognitive dissonance on /r9k is this
>We need modestly dressed, virgin girls that avoids premarital sex, excessive drinking, and general degeneracies.

Then these same people proceed to fap to Loli, shota, futa, traps, furry, brony and incest.

>>36553813
>A girl who has been married to the same guy since she was 20, has no single life experience outside of her relationship and no real interests outside of her family isn't going to be the best conversational partner.
why? Our family is both an important and interesting topic of converastion. Just becauae she isnt riding the cock carousel doesnt mean she cant be well read or an intellectual. You seem to be connecting 2 things which arent in any way related. Certainly, a housewife likely wont have stories about that tine she went to peru or when she had a gang bang in latvia but are these things even interesting? There is no reason a housewife cant have interests and i sincerly doubt there are any who dont. Everybody either watches television or browses the internet and these are standard topics of conversation.

>Self esteem tips

One thing that's taken me forever to do, is not beat myself up when I fuck up on my self improvement road. Or just fuck up in day to day interactions. Then when I did fuck up it was easy to perpetuate this narrative of "Well that's how Ive ALWAYS been and thats how its gonna be. This/that/whatever reason is why I should just give up/anhero etc."

JP articulates how toxic this is pretty well. And Ive noticed a lot of robots seem to do this to themselves. "Every small event produces a cascade through their entire value system"

He uses examples of university grades and fights with a significant other, but the principle still stands.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHb67iP56h8

Okay guys. We all kbow robots are hypocrites and we hate people who are happy and have what we can't have etc. Point proven.

Can we get back on topic. Self-improvement advice? Stopping masturbation?

>>36553960
youre assuming that theyre the same posters.

>>36553171
Aight, I'm gonna go down the list, post what a can and point out where I lack.

>Fitness tips

Easiest one is to walk/cycle as often as possible. Go for an hours walk each day. Use it as thinking time, daydreaming time, whatever. Just do it. Also, find out what a balanced diet is and eat that. Willpower is needed to keep at it, but not a massive amount, so it's good practice. Also if you smoke or do drugs, pack that shit in, smoking is all over bad (I'm still trying to quit, would appreciate tips), and drugs are no good when you're in a bad place in life. (They're ok as a vice when shit's going your way, case in point, when I was working, I smoked pot, now that I'm neet, I don't)
>Motivation
I got nothing. Please send help, I don't know how to make myself care about myself.
>Hygiene
Shower when you wake up, make sure you wash your dick, brush teeth immediately afterwards and apply roll-on anti-antiperspirant. Make sure you have clean clothes. Done. Willpower will have to carry you through the first part, but it should become habit over time. I still struggle with this.
>Social Skills
Social rules are different for every social group, so the best thing to do is observe and learn, see what other people do and follow their lead. Don't parrot, but do more or less as they do. Fitting in isn't about making other people like you as you are, or making them see how good you can be, it's about becoming a part of their established structure. (It took me many many years of cringeworthy autistic bullshit to realise this.)
>Dating
I don't date, and don't care about it. So I can be of no help here.
>Studying
I suck at this, I am the eternal procrastinator and as previously explained lack motivation. Please send help.
>Jobs
First impressions mean everything, conform to accepted societal standards for behaviour and appearance and it will be much easier, this goes for interviews as well as the workplace. Handshaking is important, looking people in the eyes is important.

>>36554015
>Self-esteem
It magically appears once you start to make progress in the other areas, disappears if you slide backwards. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

Well, that's it, I'm done. Ask questions if you will, or offer advice on the things I suck at.

I've come pretty close to normiedom a few times, only to fall just a few feet from the gates. Shit sucks.

>>36553995
Normie detected. It is laughably hypocritical of a normalslime to be calling robots hypocritical when your social hierarchy and culture constantly contradicts itself. You're pathetic.

>>36553868
I meant mentally, I also don't have as high standards as you think I do, the women here do though

Take a moment to recognise which part of yourself you are feeding when you engage in this behaviour. That is the part of you that keeps you here.

The best step you can take for your own self improvement is to leave this place, and stop letting your brain marinade in this piss-mist of constant negativity. Even if all you do is browse /r/wholesomememes all day instead, that is a vastly better use of your time than coming here to read... well just look through the catalog, its garbage.

I'm sorry, bro. I wanted to rant, but I didn't stop to think my words might hurt others. If you legitimately feel bad, i feel bad for making you feel bad. Sincere apology here, anon.

I walk loads, eat well and as a result im thin. Were i a woman, this would be great and fine but im a man so it just makes me look like a faggot. Does anyone have any tips for actually getting /fit/? Is it a good idea to join a gym?

>>36554015
I stopped smoking. Id probably smoke about 8 a day so i wasnt deep in though. In my case it was just a matter of not being able to afford them any more so i couldnt have them. I know you cant just do this but if you just stop buying them and vet rjd of any you have then you cant have them any more even if youd kill for one. Its fruatrating when you'd normally be smoking but if youve got none then it cant be helped. If you cant resist buying them and there are shops around all the time then maybe stop carring money around unless youre going out to explicitly buy something.

It made me angry as fuck but i dont talk to people anyway so i doubt anyone noticed and in a sense anger is a nuce reprive from sadness and misanthropy. It made me more snappy towards people as well which is something ive retained (somewgat intentionally); it feels good to scold aomeone when they do someyhing minorly wrong and to not cuck myself trying to not bump into people.

shitty advice i know but its just one of those things where i dont think theres a magic trick and you just need the willpower to put up with feeling agitated for a few weeks.

>>36554351
Thanks for the perspective on smoking.

As far as being thin and getting bigger goes, a gym is a good idea. 24 hour gyms are the best because you can go in at non-peak times/late at night and do your thing.

It's kind of unnerving at first, but for the most part the people in gyms are alright, you still get some arrogant dudebros, but the hardcore bodybuilders are chill as fuck.
If you aren't currently employed, try to get some hard manual work like construction, that did surprisingly good things to my lanky frame.

>It magically appears once you start to make progress in the other areas, disappears if you slide backwards. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

That's not actually self-esteem then. Its situational confidence.

You start with the assumption that you're unhappy, that you're not enough, that you're a piece of shit.

You do stuff to try to compensate for this initial assumption.You feel good when you succeed and bad when you fail. You never reach happiness.

Even if you accomplished all of your goals, got everything you ever wanted, your brain would still be wired to say "I'll be happy when..." that's why rich celebrities kill themselves. Because they're still not happy yet they have nowhere left to go, nothing really left to acheive.

You are seeking the infinite from within the finite. You will never count to infinity because there is always a bigger number.

The answer is that your initial assumption is wrong. Happiness is actually your default state, and there's a ton of emotional bullshit that is blocking you from realising that. The path to happiness is letting go and falling back into your default, not acquiring or doing more shit to compensate for the flawed assumption. That doesn't mean that you have to sell everything and go live in the woods, it just means you have to turn around and face the darkness that you've been running away from and the shame that you've been trying to hide.

"But if I let go and stop running away from things... why would I even do anything? What would be the motivation to accomplish?" - This question itself comes from the assumption that you're a piece of shit. When you are no longer motivated by desperation you become motivated by inspiration. You do things because you want to not because you feel like you need to in order to deserve to feel good. And as a consequence you do them much better.

This video talks about it in detail. >>36553503

>>36554475
yeah, no problem. (got i shouldnt phonepost in bed - i make so many typos).

I joined a gym, the only gym in my old town, once before and it was full of guys who'd bang around and shout. While they never actually approached me I just felt so out of place and anxious.

Ill have a look for 24 hour gyms since im a student which equates to essentially unemployed.
Where do i find something like construction work? The holidays are coming up in about 6 weeks and then ive got a miilion years off i could work in. It'd be nice to have something to keep me busy and distracted whilr also being paid. Its just, ive never had a job and i havent the faintest idea where you find one.

>>36554649
Find recruitment agencies in your area, if they're specialised in construction even better.
You might need some sort of card to prove you've done a health and safety test. It varies depending on where you live. Here in the UK you can do the worlds easiest test and get a provisional card that lasts for 6 months.

Agency labouring can be a fickle bastard, but so long as you work hard, be polite, and don't complain, your coworkers will respect you.
Construction sites are in my experience, the most well mannered places in the world.

>>36553995

>>36554759
>Robots would prefer to be waterboarded than to engage in any form of manual labor.

Yeah, I used to think that too. Turns out that difficult manual tasks that are simple enough that you can switch your brain off and just move, are pretty decent.

>>36554734
do i just turn up at an agency and ask for them to give me a test and stuff? Im also in the uk.

Sometimes i feel like an ant without a nest - i can work hard, i dont complain and im competently intelligent but ive got almost no personal agency. Unless ive got someone to tell me what to do then I just sit around and wither.

Anybody have experience approaching girls in class? She's in my discussion section as well.

>>36554897
thats exactly what that anon said: fap less, once a week or so, not stop entirely.

>>36554897
I was thinking maybe sitting next to her asking her if she's in the 8pm discussion, and what she thinks of it being so late. Maybe what she thinks of the class or something but I just don't know how I will keep up a conversation

>>36554897
Meant to reply to myself>>36554873
But I would recomend fapping about once a week or every 5 days. Also no porn which i need to do again because I'm starting to get desensitized

>>36554976
youre not supposed to. The conversation is supposed to flow and come naturally after your opener. If you plan it then it will end up not going to plan and then youll panic.

That said, i always run out of conversation topics instantly but i cant even think of openers either.

Yes. Weed is my disconnect. Without weed the pain of the complete chaos of our current system becomes a sensory overload and I rage. Addicted, probably, just can't stand the world for very long without it. I'm 32 and I've been this way for 20 solid years. Also married with children and self employed.

Anybody knows good workouts to do at home to stay fit? I have no money and car to go a gym, I don't know how to get a job and talk to people. I also need help with diet and cooking. I already read the sticky on /fit/ and it was helpful but it's not quite the advice I'm looking for. I really want to improve this summer after my finals actually and accomplish those goals

>Learn how to drive (halfway there)
>Learn how to cook for a balanced healthy diet, maybe go vegan (no idea how to do that)
>Learn how to produce music (too broke for a good computer with good enough specs, last time I produced was 4 months ago)
>Finally get my first job (Haven't applied yet because of intense fear)

Instructions on applying are here:
https://www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for-cards/

You book the test on this website:
https://www1.pearsonvue.com/testtaker/signin/SignInPage/CITB

Do the test, apply for the card, get the card, then start ringing up agencies and asking for labouring work.

The card you want is the Provisional Card. It just needs the test and lasts for 6 months. There is a full Labourers Card that you can do, but it requires a one day course as well. It does last for 2 years though.

Some tips:
-The early bird gets the worm, if you start telling them you want summer work now, then you'll be further ahead in the queue.
-Remember (write down) the name of the person who deals with labourers. This person is important to you, and people like it when you remember their name.
-If the agency has a text alert service for work, get signed up on that and they will send jobs to your phone.
-Phone back to the same agency once a week when you're looking for work, if not more. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

If you have any more questions I'll be up for a while.
Also, IKTF man. IKTF.

>>Learn how to cook for a balanced healthy diet, maybe go vegan (no idea how to do that)
DONT GO VEGAN
its a massive meme and it isnt good for you. We are meant to eat meat. A balanced diet contains meat. There are no benifits to cutting out meat entirely. Eating less meat? sure, depending on how much you eat it could be a good idea to cut down but not to 0.

Furthermore, you say you want to get /fit/, well, cutting out prettt much the food to do that isnt a great idea. Im guessing you want to be somewhat manly if you want to be /fit/ but what manly man is a vegan? Thats a meme for 17 year old girls and numales.

Old former "normie" here (I consider myself a cyborg, I was always picked second-to-last in gym class and I was one of the easy targets for bullies and class clown - but I still managed to get a gf by 17 and have sex by 18), I can tell you pretty much anything you need to know.

I can tell you how to improve your life, you just need to follow this last decade of my life and do everything backwards/the opposite.

My biggest piece of advice? get the fuck off this board and website while you still can. A decade goes by in the blink of an eye, especialy if you're frogposting. The internet WILL ruin your fucking life if it already hasn't.

When engaging with a girl do not treat her as if she's superior
Don't engage her as a friend
Engage her as a possible bf
Let your intentions be known subtly from the very beginning.
Don't make the conversation sound like a FBI interrogation
Make a question, then develop conversation from there
After you successfully engage her
And get to know her a bit, it's dating time.

Stop giving her all authority on everything
Don't talk like this

>I wanted to emmm, know if you wanted to grab a cup of coffee with me?

Say this

>hey, I know a great coffee shop you'll love.

Imagine that dating a girl is like D&D
She doesn't want to be DM
She wants somebody else to guide her and create an adventure for her
This somebody else is you.

If you succeed in all this it's kissing time
You will feel when it's time, pay attention to the way she looks at you, pay attention to her lips, to her body language.
And under no circumstances ask her if you can kiss her

I'll give you a tip my dad once gave me

i've been producing over a year at random rates. I could produce for a month straight then take a two break or produce for two days straight and take a 3-month break.

The single biggest thing you can do that will "trigger" everything else to change your life: clean your room

I am 100% dead serious. You are a product of your environment, and vice-versa. It's a symbiotic relationship. When you change the very first things you see when you wake up and the last things you see when you go to bed, it changes how you see yourself and how you see things.

Marie Kondo organized a method to help you sort your things and sort your life. I'm paraphrasing but it's basically this.
-clean everything all at once, don't do a little bit each day
take literally everything in your room and gather it all in one giant fucking heaving pile
Start with your clothes, then books, then paperwork, then everything else.
With every single item, besides obviously asking yourself if you still need it, HOLD IT in your hands and ask yourself if it makes you happy while holding it
If it doesn't make you happy, thank it for its service and get rid of it


Once it's done, it's done, a clean and organized area is stupidly easy to maintain. Once a thing has its place it's not going anywhere. You shouldn't have to do a cleaning purge like that more than once in your life. Maybe twice. It's like you're moving into your own life.

She also has more in-depth methods for folding and hanging clothes.


Your room has to be a safe zone where you can relax and focus and do some exercise, not a source of stress.

>i've been producing over a year at random rates. I could produce for a month straight then take a two break or produce for two days straight and take a 3-month break.

Do you get writer's block? If you're producing the same genre or from the same family tree of genres, try producing a song from a music genre that's totally out of your comfort zone.

Of course a lot of the hardware featured is obsolete, but the principles are still there and still the same to this day.

You could also have a look around your city to see if they don't offer certifications in music production/audio engineering - but those will cost an arm in a leg since it's almost always done through a private school. Save up for a decent computer first.

Starting to get fit is easy without a gym. if you are trying to lose weight just run around your neighborhood or wherever. I would recommend the couch-to-5k infographic. Running will improve your stamina and endurance greatly. Of course to lose weight you also need to intake fewer calories than you burn so I would recommend you eat as few carbs as possible. Anything else is usually fine. To gain muscle definition while running, do pushups (properly or they won't do anything), situps and planks, and if possible, pullups. Eating high protein/low carbs will also help.There is plenty of info online about how to gain muscle definition through calisthenic workouts.

Start doing this stuff and you should start to look better within a month as long as you are consistent.

>>36555750
>So you cant go in with ideas of possible topics to talk about?
of course you do but its autistic to move from one isolated topic to another. If you have to keep raising random topics then a conversation isnt starting. Its like a matchbox of topics and every one you strike doesnt light.

I seriously don't know what I'd do to get from point A to point B. I've always had a "navigator" in passenger. I'd probably not know what to do or freeze up at some point.

How do you get more familiar with the rules of the road and how things are done? I can drive smoothly, but navigation and confidence in navigating on my own is the problem.

>Just be yourself bro

I wish normies would stop giving fitness advice.

Losing weight is a lot more than just eating less calories.

>>36556178
Its really not. That's all it is actually. Sure if you want to be healthy while doing it, it's a bit more complicated. But pure weight loss is just calories in/calories out. Take the fat out of your brain and maybe it'll stick this time.

>>36556230
I think he's saying that it's not as ez as "lol just don't eat bro" because of cravings and such. Also fat people have a shitty time working out because... Well their fat and this makes it hard to use up more calories

>>36555730
GFS aren't only about sex m8
You're not having sex with her 24/7
It's a small portion of time you spend with her
You spend 90% of time doing other things.
The true joy of having a gf is all the hugs she gives you
The kisses
All the good laughter you have together
The bonding over common interests
That feeling that you
That you make her happy
The feeling that she needs you
The feeling that she misses you
The feeling that She wants you.

>>36555750

The problem of you introducing yourself as a friend is that you get quickly put in the friendzone
You and a lamp have the same sexual value for her
I can't pinpoint exactly how you can approach this girl
I don't know anything about her.
There isn't a perfect formula
Dont approach her with boring topics like studying or classes
It dies out fast.
Maybe something like this

>Finally this class is over, I can finally be happy again, what do you do for fun?

This is a topic that can develop.

How can you subtly let her know of your intentions?
Robots are super ultra polite.
Don't be
Let yourself be caught looking at her body a few times
This will establish yourself as somebody that wants something more.

Okay fellow robots, I think I'm ready to try out the whole girlfriend thing. 20 years old, second year in college, and I have been briefly talking to a girl who I think is pretty cute. We went out for lunch the other day, and it was very nice, but very casual. We just sat outside at a local cafe for a little over an hour just chatting, then went our separate ways.

My big problem is I don't know how to really progress it past this point. Afterwards she said it was a good time, and she's always looking to meet new people and make new friends, especially because we have the same major. Is it too late already to try to date her? How do I even go about getting that started? I figure there has to be at least a little interest to go out with me for lunch, right?

>>36556178
>Losing weight is a lot more than just eating less calories.
no it isnt.

Weight loss is not some arcane process impossible for mortals to perform. If you use more calories than you consume your body uses its fat reserves instead. Thats it.

Now, there can be other problems which arise. Starving yourself isnt good or efficient and if you eat below your maintenance for a long time then your body will adjust to lower your maintenance (including weight loss).

Dont petend its impossible though. A great many people have done it and you dont have to run marathons or go to the gym, after all, most people dont.

Self improvement is a meme for most of you. People generally do not end up on the fringes of society due to their own lack of diligence. What most of you are suffering from is Lookism. Good looking people lead a satisfactory life, ugly people lead the inverse. Plastic surgery and hair restoration procedure is the start for being satisfied with who you are as a person and others will be satisfied with you as well. People respect a good looking person as they have no choice not to.

>>36556362
>she said it was a good time, and she's always looking to meet new people and make new friends

Did she actually use the f-word?

I think that ship may have sailed then.

Anyways if you want to ask her out, just text/message her "hey if you're free do you wanna go see [movie title] with me this weekend?"

word for word, that exact quote.

>hey

casual greeting

>if you're free

shows that you understand that she's a busy person and you respect her personal space

>do you wanna go see [movie title]
the fact that you pick a movie shows you have confidence, movies are also first-date activities

>with me

this prevents her from assuming that it's a night out with several friends, it's heavily implied and all but spelled-out in neon letters that this is a date you're asking her out on

>this weekend

Again, it shows you respect her busy schedule & personal life, and she can't go "awwwwww sorry but I'm busy on this specific dayyy :)))))" as a cop-out excuse.

If she actually is busy all weekend and wants to go out with you, she'll ask to reschedule it for next week. if she is friendzoning you then she'll have to just come out and say it.


She might say "are you asking me out on a date?" to which you say "sure". It's the most neutral and casual reply to that question.

Don't forget autism as well my dude. I'm attractive but I'm socially fucked for like. I've completely given up on most of the social aspects if life and improving skills is really the only thing I can enjoy now. When your whole life is stifled by something out of your control its nice to get back at it by learning some shit.

>>36556432
If you're not fit working out is a huge drain, you probably won't even last a couple of minutes. If you're fat and/or a smoker it gets even worse. It's also not easy to restrain yourself from eating too much tasty food if you are used to eat all you want etc.

the facefag threads tell another story.

While there are some terribly ugly anons there are also those who look fine or even attractive. You can argue that those anons who post in the facefag threads are not representative but then you can apply that to anything since, ultimately, there are no accurate demographics of /r9k/.

I know that, myself, i am not oil painting but neither am i particulalry ugly and yet my life has been one of loneliness and largely failure. I would wager you consider yourself unattractive and are projecting this onto here (as we all do) while using it as an excuse for your problems.

I'm physically falling apart. I'm in constant pain of some kind.
>Injured my shoulder junior year of college, 4 years later I still can't work out
>Injured my knee ~10 months ago, went to physical therapy, still can't run/walk properly
>Just recently started getting pain in my wrist
>Need my wrist for work, I'll literally be out of a job if I don't get it fixed

I hate not being able to do things without getting hurt. It really messes up my quality of life.

I'm at the point where I'm even resorting to alternative medicine (deep tissue therapy, mind/body therapy, acupuncture, vitamins, etc.)

It's really depressing.

Why do you need to mention classes at all when you have a fun topic like a music festival?

Go directly to the point, it shows you have confidence.

She will know you have no balls to ask her directly and that you need a boring topic to get to it.

fat people have higher bmr's, making it easy for them to lose weight if they eat properly. It's just that being fat makes you used to not regulating your diet, along with having low energy.

>It's also not easy to restrain yourself from eating too much tasty food if you are used to eat all you want etc.

You're not supposed to be working at the same intensity as as GymChad if you're that fat or fucked up.

The first I did was just walk for like 30-40 minutes everyday. My legs were cramped and I was sweating in the middle of winter. Then eventually I started walking for an hour, an hour and 15 minutes, then I got on my bike when the roads were clear of ice and snow.

Obviously if you try running 10km or squatting 1.5x your body weight when you barely get up from your computer chair you're going to pass out and explode your knees and shatter your hips and liquify your spine. Start at the bottom and make progressive steps with your exercise.

I don't know what that is.

I'm just speaking from experience. I'm an ex-smoker, smoked for over a decade, and got real skinnyfat and lazy and chairlocked over the last handful of years.

6'2 220, at my fattest and grossest I was 230 last year.


I just started with a walk. Once or twice a day. Everyday I would either do the same or push to do a bit more.

Now I'm biking 30km everyday and doing kettlebell exercises as well. I also stopped eating TV dinners and bags of cheese. Energy drinks as well were my biggest sin.

I am in high school.

My parents are currently making me some Dinner, I am having gruel for dinner. I will then wait 30 minutes and then go to the gym and work out like a mother fucker and blast xxxtentacion through my head phones

i have a fairly good physique, pretty much skinny fag though, but i want to start working out more, and if i didn't have acne I could probably get myself a GF.

It works for me because because I've always been like this
They know what I'm like
I dwell between two worlds
I'm a cyborg.
The problem with most robots here
Is that everyone knows them as the polite quiet guy that never says anything remotely challenging.
It's very hard for them to break this cycle.
Robots need to move to another city and start over.
I understand this isn't a perfect formula
But still more likely to work than being a supreme gentleman.

I'm not even Christian (anymore) and even I know that Jesus hung out with whores and beggars, and there's that "be of the world but not in it" quote that is also actually the other way around and never actually said in the bible - but nevertheless can be interpreted as "don't shy away from unpleasant places or situations, as long as you don't let them corrupt you".

Plus, sinners need to be saved, right? This is where all the sinners hang out, not in church.

You should watch some of Jordan Peterson's lectures. He often talks about the Russian Archipelago, which was written by some guy in the gulags. Basically, he was thinking in his predicament, "why am I here", and he realized that the idea that "the world has done me wrong" was a pretty worthless idea that couldn't lead to anything better, all he could do is wail against his injustice. So, he then thought "what if everything bad that has happened to me was my fault" and began to systematically go over every life choice he ever made, and fully take responsibility for every outcome. Peterson goes on, but please watch one of his lectures, they're really eye-opening. He's also a clinical psychiatrist and a cutting-edge psychometric researcher, so he really understands how the brain works and can provide that insight into some of the more complex philisophical concepts.

An ex Christian is going to teach a lesson to an actual christian, how ironic

Matthew 6:22-23
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

You may not participate in the threads
They're still bumped into the first page, so your eyes still see the darkness
And as that verse stated
If your eyes are darkness you become darkness.

>I have my own interpretation
That basically means you're barely Christian at all. And you my friend won't go to "heaven" If God exists

Revelations 3:16
16 So, because you are lukewarm neither hot nor cold I am about to spit you out of my mouth

God doesn't want lukewarm Christians
He will spit you.

Replacing bad habits might help
.
ask yourself what rewards you get from your time online and from video games, and ask yourself; why do you play them so much, why do you need that reward, and finally where else can you get that reward/stimulation in real life.
Ween yourself off and track how much time you spent doing what you do. Informally, and use estimates, you're more likely to follow through.

An example would be if you craved Attention/socialization
you could:
-Spend half an hour you would on video games or online on . Then progress to phone calls and then finally text. Until you're talking to real people and making friends (don't try dates before friends it'll ruin your motivation if you flop)

PRO TIP!:

Spend half an hour each day reading any book on socialization. Books like this made me able to easily make and (with more difficultly) keep friends.
This works with everything, every baby step is progress. Please attempt to help yourself out of this hole Anons, God Helps Those Who Helps Themselves!!!

You Can Do it Anon, I Believe in You!!!

You Can't Quit Now Anon, We Need You!

just find... SOMETHING... to do. Whatever the fuck it is, you could even hate it, just something. Blacksmithing, writing, being a fucking hawk trainer, just do something, and do it A LOT. Get good at it, because, if you're the best at what you do, it's likely someone is gonna hire you. When I was 17 I already had some writing jobs for my local paper as an Autodidact (self trained). Just do whatever the fuck you want, but do it so often you're a master at it.

I planned on going into sports medicine. Read a shit ton online about postural health and being the best version of myself. Studied for my NASM's but I found out I can make much more money a lot faster elsewhere.

You really need corrective deadlifts. Corrective deadlifting and yoga will you wonders in terms of mood/pain relief. A lot of people don't realize this but you have pain that you just don't feel that actually stresses you out a shit ton. That's why opiates are so great, you basically feel healthy and young on them. Massages are great, they cause all the tightened muscles that are holding your shit posture together to relax and let everything fall back in place.

Start with yoga and find a personal trainer. /fit/ is dumb to think they can just start olympic lifts and strength training out of the blue with zero professional help.

Currently:

Working. Only for 5 hours a week right now but my company has talked to me about increasing my hours starting in May. Still no room for advancement really but I guess it's better than nothing.

Writing for money. Not great at it but I've made over $1000 already and it feels good to have people purchase things you've created.

Working on a website that will contain a writing portfolio/online CV. I'm a CS grad but I'm way out of practice since I haven't been doing anything programming related since I graduated. The website is a great way to get a little more exposure for my writing and also ease myself back into programming with babby tier HTML/CSS/Javascript.

I also still find some time for running but not like I used to, generally just a few miles a day two or three times a week. That's one thing I really want to work on but at the same time, it doesn't seem like the most efficient use of my time considering I really need to get my shit together and get more income rolling in.

Christianity has been undergoing change and has been interpreted in millions of ways since its inception. There are those who believe without temptation one cannot exercise true virtue and others who feel that it is vital to avoid temptaion at all costs.

If you are to tell me that only those who follow the bible to the letter in dogmatic style are considered virtuous then i must ask you which bible? For there are many books of the bible and many are not commonly published or recognised by everyone.

>That basically means you're barely Christian at all. And you my friend won't go to "heaven" If God exists
you know nothing of my beliefs.
I am a protestant and do you know the unserlying principle behind protestants? It is that any man can find god through the bible and the world without the necessity of the church. This isnt to say ritual is pointless but the clear implication is that a man must find god on his own terma, as i did for i was not raised in a religious household.

Christianity is not some unilateral monolith like you pretend. Ask a boer calvinist what happens to an armenian orthodox christian and they will tell you he os condemned to purgatory yet as the current pope what should happen to a near animist xhosa christian and he will say they go the heaven. Christianity is not so strictly defined as you pretend.

That was one of the most satisfying things in my life to this fucking day. Forced to live at my grandparents because my brother/girlfriend could not live with me. They were pieces of shit. Mom wouldn't buy me a car and there was no work around there. So, I just patiently waited in the shitty back room of my grandmas house and made thousands of dollars. Lived in my car for two months and worked until my brother moved out. Mom wouldn't let me come back until they left and I refused to stay at my grandmas.
