yes
Yes and no
I hate myself so much that I don't see the point in trying
maybe you don't hate yoself enough, if you did you wouldn't tolerate him
excuses, you don't hate yourself enough to punish yourself with physical exercise and the pain that comes from that
cope and rope
Hate yourself even more

Where the frick do you think you are Black person?
only a fool loses hi temper so quickly, be humble or i shall humble you myself
Humble me, biatch Black person
Who is going to lift the boats though?
If you can balance it, yes, but it's a slippery slope
I hate myself so much I genuinely believe I can never be loved, so some days I wonder why I even bother trying
try because you want to hate yourself less
Thanks, frens
Frick you buttholes I posted literally the same comment before him and got nothing
I joined this thread just to say I appreciate your positive efforts, sometimes it wont be noticed but its all about the energy you give out.
I love you, you fricking bastard
Love yourself, homie. I love you, homie. Don't believe everything you think about yourself. We are our harshests critics. Try to be your best friend instead.
One day it will click. After the countless hours spent working on this thing that seems so pointless, something will happen that will dramatically shift your perspective on yourself. You will need to see more improvements, more personal records, more pain and work in each sesh. Please anon just do this and believe that it will work, it will change your life completely I promise you. I love you and hope you can find that inner savage that’s been waiting to be released, god bless you and good luck on this journey.
>trust the process
words and ideas are expensive in this era you don't have to waste time ranting like that
self-hatred is thinly veiled narcissism, you treat others the way you treat yourself, so whenever i see somebody who talks about how much they hate themselves i know that person is a complete narcissist who will project their self-hatred onto you at the first opportunity
The energy you put out is the energy you get , you should believe that you can be loved and you are a person of value and you'll have love , the hatred part is when I say to myself "don't be a b***h made you bastard" and then I push myself beyond my limits so it's a mix.
If we can hate anons for no reason, we can love them for no reason too
I got nothing but respect for a man that transforms himself like this.
>be me
>fat ass frick because of severe depression and meds
>walk past some b***hes

>starting to work out
>lost 35kg
>got fit
>can run 40 mins without break
>couldn't walk steps without getting out of breath
>feel awesome
>finally start to love myself
Yes. You need to reach a point where you hate yourself so much that you don't wanna live anymore, then transform that hate into pure motivation to be a better man for yourself because you owe it to yourself.
Yeah, for me it was fear of only slipping deeper into the hell I created for myself instead of maybe inching my way out of it. The process was almost like a crucifixion for my sins, rewarding me with rebirth after the journey was complete
Are you religious?
I am after losing weight
I’m proud of you anon
First time someone else said that. I am proud of myself too...
No one in my family ever told me they are proud of my transformation. I am in the process of cutting them off since i realized they are the source of the negativity in my life. It's painful but necessary.
Yeah I went through the same process. Don’t think anyone has congratulated me IRL
It sucks. But a lot of people are miserable. And thus they are jealous and passive-aggressive. Can't have such people in your life, even if it's your family. I will never let myself get dragged down again into misery, depression, learned helpnessness, victim complex etc.
Yes
Hate is Love just named different

frick the haters
frick all of you
If this isn't a larp then good for you. But you owe Goggins and you better defend that motherfricker whenever anyone shits on him. Whenever you hear anyone talk about him like a freak remember where you were before you picked up that book, and imagine where you'd be without it today.
Goggins didn't do anything, anon did it.
That is a larp friend lmao it’s always posted on the Goggins thread
I knew it deep down that it was a larp, but I wanted it to be true for my fellow ISTbros.
meh, not gonna bend over backwards trying to defend the guy against anonymous autists on IST. just gonna drop my experience and hope it motivates others the same way goggins did for me
unironically, peterson videos helped too
kinda sad that people shit on them incessantly, but everyone i've met irl who actually applies their knowledge ends up turning their life around. i seriously haven't been depressed for more than 2-3 days since adopting these principles. anxiety is now more than manageable, some days it's just completely gone.
as
mentioned, goggins was a great motivator of what you can do with the power of your mind.
same shit as every other self-help book really, just gotta find the brand that speaks to you.
why would i larp?
if any of you fricks applied the dedication that goggins did to something, you'd be successful in it too.
by all means, if you're happy and set up in life, keep doing you bro.
When I started getting IST I thought self hate was the motivator but I slowly realized I hated the old me that didn't treat his body with the respect it deserved. I hated my fat personality that betrayed his beloved meat wagon
No
But it will get you started
>lost over 290lbs
Yes, but only if you're strong enough to both handle that kind of burden, and can replace it with something else eventually. You can't hate yourself forever, you ultimately need to move on to acceptance, if not self-love. Though I still haven't quite got there.
I think Goggins hated himself but he also hated his circumstances.
Read his book, his job before the SEALs sounds horrible.
Anybody would be motivated to change for the better when their job is that shitty
Honestly yeah, I was majorly depressed at 17, decided to make a change at 18 and bought some equipment right before the covid pandemic which was the best decision I've ever made since prices skyrocketed and I had literally nothing to do but lift. (With shit, form, programming, dieting ect but frick it)
Now I actually like looking into a mirror as well as being comfortable talking to women which was a bit of an issue before
For me mental illness was my greatest motivator
I had a psychotic break and started seeing visions and hearing voices
I got into the habit of going for /nightwalks/ for like 4 hours or more every day, just walking around aimlessly talking to myself
That plus I had suppressed appetite and didn't eat much meant I reduced to like 4% bf the machinist mode very quickly
going on 14mi run today, all thanks to Goggins for runpilling me 4 years ago. oh, i'm also shredded as frick b/c of running after building my base lifting for years
Remember homosexuals, always be taking souls.
depends on the person. different people respond to different motivators. for me, self-hate has never worked well, it makes me more inclined to just give up and hate myself, stress eat, binge booze, etc. for some people it works very well, but not for me, at least past the first couple weeks.
for me, the biggest motivators are seeing progress, even a small amount, and the feeling I get after lifting. Maybe if I were a fatty selfhate would be more effective, idk, but for me as a recovering skinny fat, positive progress has worked better than self hate
Ohhhh I'm roooning around outside all dayy oh god I'm rooooning
Ahh that was a nice day of running around outside all day making no money and having no friends, time for sleep
Ohh goood I'm rooooooning I'm rooning I'm running outside la la la la weeeeeee!
Ah that was a nice day of running, stay hard
Repeat ad infinitum
>goes on run
>vomits
>passes SEAL training despite being 25% black
damn..... what a inspiration.....
It's women. And has been since Helen of Troy.
Yes. I have improved a ton, physically, since I started to hate myself. I’m currently looking into becoming a firefighter too since I don’t really care about my life at this point.
>firefighter because I want to die
Why not choose an actually dangerous career like special forces or oil rig worker then?
Special forces seems pretty high effort. Does oil rig worker pay well and is it actually that dangerous?
>Does oil rig worker pay well and is it actually that dangerous?
Very yes, and yes
looking at it logically, you have 4 choices when dealing with negative aspects of your life
>love
you are not only accepting of your negative aspects, but see it as a positive thing. this is a backwards hell and leads to the clown world we live in with things like body positivity movements and promoting the worst lifestyles as progress
>acceptance
you are submitting to the fact that you have negative aspects, and accept them as just "who you are". this is where the average person ends up; they see their problems as too difficult to fix on their own and just accept it as the way it is
>apathy
pure nihilism. none of your problems matter, none of this matters. life is a joke, i'd rather die fat and happy, etc. can be a short term bandaid for things out of your control, but solves nothing.
>hatred and disgust
you despise the worst parts of yourself, know that they can be changed, and will be unhappy and unloving towards yourself until they are fixed. this does not mean you hate yourself, simply that you hate that things within your control have gotten out of control. you can take control back and hate that you have not done so yet.
What if you take the apathy route but actually try
then what was the point?
Just to try I guess
The 4th choice is pretty bad if it's something that can't actually be changed.
right but I should've specified that I'm talking about things within your control that can be changed. If you're poor/jobless and apathetic, accepting or happy about it, you're likely to stay unemployed and broke. some level of discomfort is needed to change, and jumping to an outright despise of that shortcoming is a fast path to changing it sooner than later.
If you're blind and hate yourself for not being able to see, yes you'll be miserable forever if you never come to acceptance or love for that shortcoming.
if you were truly apathetic and didn't attach positive or negative feelings towards your current state, then you're just as likely to say
>hey why don't I just try getting really fat
Yes because "loving yourself" is what fat people say to cope with their second slice of cake
I'd still be a fat slob of a man if I didn't get IST
No. Don't hate your weak self.
Be at peace so you can focus on your desire to create your strong self.
Self-hate and hate.
I hate myself and I hate humans. I wanna frick them up, make them jealous af. They shall suffer.
Only applies to men, women will get even fatter and blame society
that's wrong incel
t. female
If based women exist, they're outliers. His statement still applies to women in general.
