Please help me find a reason to get motivated to self-improve

I spend all my waking hours on the pc/phone. i dont sleep more than 5-6 hours a night. binge eat junk food, have gained 100lbs. dont shower, dont brush teeth, dont groom, dont have clean clothes, i piss in bottles why i lay down and piss over myself sometimes by accident and still keep laying down. i just dont care at all, seriously. i am 28 years old. used to be popular, used to be a normie and etc.

everytime i try to turn my life around i do it because i want to have be liked by other people, have friends and get a girlfriend. but i always give up immediatelly when it gets boring, which it does after a few hours.

people tell me that i should be doing it for myself but... i dont get it? why would i want to suffer for myself? and i dont get the noble aspect of it all, these motivations will not work. have read loads of books, philosophy, man search for meaning, myth of sissypuss, aurelius's meditation (narcissistic verbal onanism if you ask me).

i am genuinely asking, please help me understand, why am i not motivated?

    These sound like classic descriptors for ADHD. Go get checked out by a doctor. Also start a new physical hobby that gets you out. Hiking, lifting, martial arts, marathons, ect. This will help you start on the right path.

    It's easy. Do you currently love yourself or do you hate yourself? Do you want to love yourself or do you want to hate yourself? If you hate yourself and continue to hate yourself then what is the point of going on? If you choose to live then you must choose to love yourself. It's simple logic. If you love yourself you take care of yourself. We are physical creatures first and foremost. Improving your physical health improves absolutely everything else in your life. If you can't love yourself no one else can. You need to back yourself because no one else will. Eventually you will be fit and strong, then as a man it is your responsibility to lift up those who are not strong enough to lift themselves up. In my small country over 3000 men commit suicide every year. We have to be strong enough to carry their burdens because they are currently not strong enough to do it themselves. That is what being a man is. Time to man up.

        I was like you. I admit I still spend too much time on my phone but I am actively working to improve a few aspects of my life all the time. Last year I was textbook skinny fat, picrel on the left is after a few weeks of dieting too. The pic on the right is a couple weeks ago. Yeah I know I'm still under-muscled but I have gone from being ashamed to leave my house to genuinely loving my body. I was seriously struggling in the past and my situation was made worse with insomnia for a lot of last year. Insomnia is like Chinese water torture in that it isn't that bad at first but it eventually wears you down to nothing. After a while I kind of accepted that it wouldn't get better and I would just have to kill myself. I won't lie and say I didn't do it for some noble reason, the truth is I was too scared to do it. So without that option in my back pocket the only option was to improve my life. Getting to where I am now in my fitness journey (which still has a long way to go) has improved my life immensely. I feel good about myself for the first time in almost a decade. I actually get mired when I'm out and about. I feel confident all the time and so I can now try to do the things that I've always wanted to do and it doesn't bother me if I fail the first time, or the second time or the third time because I know I have my health and my body is tight. It is truly an awesome feeling. Some of my friends are in your situation and I'm trying to help them because I know how hard it is to start because I was there too. I know it's not as simple as just getting down and doing some pushups, you have to get yourself in the right position mentally to go through with this. I'll admit I now work out for vanity but when I started it was because I didn't want to either live a life of suffering or kill myself. I chose to live.

          Let me just clarify. I didn't read your entire post carefully. I have never pissed in a bottle nor pissed all over myself and lay in it. Also I always showered and always wore clean clothes. I meant I was like you in terms of not working out, eating poorly and wasting my time. You are pretty disgusting mate. I think this goes beyond fitness.

        Don't fall into the "meat robot" train of thought. Body and soul are deeply intertwined reflections of one another. And even if they truly were two separate entities, why wouldn't you want a strong body to be your earthly vessel?

            You're 100% wrong though. Try eating healthy and getting outside and coming back to say that your brain works the same as it did 17% bf ago.

            The mood benefits of exercise are incredibly well established. You sound like you think your intellect does all the decision making in your life. This is not the case; try to emotionally understand why you do things. You have to let yourself experience life to do so. I think going on walks in nature alone with no phone would do you good. It can get better and your consciousness lies in a body my man

    I think at this level of apathy, you really need to talk to a professional.
    Even doing that is going to be very difficult for you I suspect (not trying to be mean, just factual), so gather literally every ounce of willpower you have to get to a doctor. If you can't do that, get someone else to force you to go to one.

      Ive been to at least seven psychologists until I learned my lesson to trust my gut and not talk to women about adult things so I switched to a male psychologist who actually helps me. He has helped me with my hypochondria somewhat but that's about it. Like you said, doubt he is going to help me forget how vain and boring real life is

        Have you told him about the severity of the apathetic behavior? As in point for point just dropping everything you posted here? That may change how he approaches your issues.
        Anyway, I meant to suggest moreso that you might need medication, not just to talk to someone about your feelings. You might have some misgivings about trying that route but it's probably a better choice than being miserable all of the time.

          I most certainly have adhd, depression and anxiety, probably bipolar too, all confirmed and suggested by professionals but I'll never take meds. Seen enough meta analysis that shows how lethal they are. Drank SSRI for 8 months and now I have b***h breasts and my balls are shriveled to the size of cherries

        doesnt that mean that deep down you really want to be fit and healthy? yet you live like you dont.
        i struggle a bunch with apathy aswell and i find using stimulants too much makes it worse. how is your caffeine intake? do you smoke/snus? try to set small goals each week, even so small it seems kinda moronic. like wash your clothes 1 time a week(doesnt have to be all your clothes, just one load of clothes). shower atleast once a week. just tiny ass habits you can stick with that involves taking care of yourself.

    I was pretty close to being the same as you, and through sheer torturous will power little by little I worked on some of those habits and got a little bit better. But- nothing really changed until I got back on my ADHD meds, so talk to a some professionals, your brain is not like normal people's. Normal people (like some of them replying to you) can't empathize because they don't find getting the motivation to do this stuff hard like we do. Idk if you have ADHD, but you definitely have something that you're not gonna fix on your own, you'd have fixed them years ago if you could do it by yourself. Working out was one of the few things I could do actually but it involved homegym with a bodyweight setup and a ton of shitposting inbetween sets, the workouts took like 4 hours.

    Well, you'll feel better after becoming healthy. Of course you give up when you just do it to be liked, such people are fake because they only have motivation to do something when others are watching.

    Genuine question; why don’t you just kill youself?

    If nothing seems worth it to you then why not just give up? Instead of whining about how much you think your life sucks on an exercise board of all places, why not just quit. Instead of counting your blessings and making a genuine effort all you’ve done is make excuses.

    Here’s a news flash for you Mr. Philosophy Reader (but managed to get nothing out of it somehow); maybe, just maybe, if you stopped living like a pathetic piece of shit, you wouldn’t feel like a pathetic piece of shit.

    The lack of sleep and junk food will do that. Add cooming to porn to the mix and you're fricked.

    >but i always give up immediatelly when it gets boring, which it does after a few hours.
    It takes up to a week for me to start feeling like getting my shit back together after I slip and stay up late eating goyslopp. You're a target of parasites that want you like this, and it seems like they've got a solid hold on you. Fix your sleep and your diet for a week, and I bet you'll feel like getting out of bed to piss.
