      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.

      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.

    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.

            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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

        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.

        Just to try I guess

        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
