    Thinking back to the time some girl would always stare at me for minutes. She'd do this every time we shared a class, always chalked it up as her having vision problems(she had glasses) and just staring in my general direction. Wonder if there was more to it.

      There's scientific proof that asking for a very small favor can actually make people like you more, as long as it's very small and not too often. If you ask a guy to help you with the bench, it will increase his disposition with you by +5 as long as he's in between sets.

      It took me forever to figure out the bench too moronanon don't feel too bad

    I have 8 weeks left of my last ever summer holidays (NEETing between uni years). For the first 8 weeks I spent partying and hooking up with women and training in the gym. But I still spent most of my time either sleeping too much or wasting time on the internet waiting to go to the gym.

    How can I make the most of the last few weeks? I find it hard to want to leave my house without someone to do something with, and all my friends are busy with work etc in the day.

    One of my biggest fears is not making the most of life, and sleeping 10-11h a night and browsing the internet for another 4h before I go lift is not making the most of my life.

    What do I do in these next and final free 8 weeks of my life?

      First time I post in a long ass time
      I lived without a computer, or the internet, for most of this year until now. I worked my ass off, and trained hard. I focused on my christian faith more than ever.
      I lost my virginity the other day, bros. I'm 25. It was awesome, and well worth the wait, the pain and the effort. I felt something unlock inside me, what was like the last bit of confidence, experiencing a connection with another person, and so on. WAGMI bros.

      Squats are the most complicated lift, learn the form and use it well. Do many sets, not too many reps. Then do some sumo, some leg press or whatever. Cycling is also good, go for high resistance. Get crippled on leg days and it will pay off eventually.

    Picrel is not her but a girl she sort of looks like. I've already tried reverse image searching. No search results came up, so I'm fairly confident that it is actually her and not some other girl.

    I've been working in restaurant kitchens for 7 years and I don't want to keep bouncing between menial labor jobs. I'm unemployed and recovering from injury right now. Working out a bit as my injury allows.

    What line of work should I break into? I'm weighing the merits of comp-sci learning to code, where I know there's jobs and money waiting, but I'll need to schedule socializing and going outside into my free time. Wouldnt be hard because I'm great at math.

    Or I could get certified in a trade.

    Any other ideas? What do you do, assuming you don't hate it? Or what do you wish you did? I'm 24 with some savings and no debt, what would you do if you were me and wanted to achieve bigger things than just managing restaurant kitchens?

      Only you can figure that out. If there's nothing that's calling out to you, either keep working while trying to figure it out, or quit and take a break from work.

      There's a reason why you connect perfectly. Damaged goods are the female equivalent to guys who feel for that gosling character and lift. I too consiously want a normalgay gf, but the damaged type, with daddy issues or self harm scars or whatever is the one I randomly connect to, and it goes both ways. Just be careful because women exaggerate those things; she almost cried while talking to you, but it's not as grave as it would be if you were the one doing that. Don't overvalue her emotions.

    I know this has been asked a trillion times but I'm going to the gym for the first time next week and I'm scared shitless that I'll make a fool out of myself.
    Been here for a couple of months now (mostly spent my time on IST before) and lost 10kg/22lbs and I manage to run 10km/6miles now. I already picked a routine.
    But I have zero muscles and I struggle to lift a sixpack of beer. I'm also 26 and afraid that a bunch of zoomers twice my size will laugh at me struggling to lift the bar or whatever.
    Please someone call me a pussy and tell me it's gonna be fine.

      You're actually being a huge b***h about this entire thing. No one gives a frick what you're doing as long as it's not breaking the equipment or obviously something moronic.

      I have been in dozens of gym's and most people who go don't know what the frick they're doing anyway, zoomers are the worst for it. Normally they're too busy showing their mates some shitty Tik-Tok or talking about some abstract number of sets they have to do because some influencer said on Instagram.

    I can find fricking buzzfeed articles all god damn day telling me that it's never too late to build muscle, and experience happiness, but I'm worried that I'll never be able to truly be happy if I'm always walking around amongst people in my age-range who have ~15 years of mind-blowing, edge-of-your-seat-tier experiences.

    I expect that if I were to become muscular, get into a relationship, possibly even become a father, that I'll always feel as though I would be wearing a military uniform that I just bought at some surplus store, but didn't really earn, so I wouldn't "belong" in that wholesome, normal life.

      Literally get off the computer and do some push ups. Then rest a minute and do another set. Then rest a minute and do another set. Now do it all again in a couple days.

I've watched the few gains I made over the course of the last 14 months wither away in front of me in the mirror. It's my fault for moving to a different city for a summer job, but the pay was too good to pass up.

      looks more like friction burn, a few plucked hairs in the come and go of thrusting, sweaty sticky bodies rubbing together.
      About the butthole itch though...she might have given you some parasitic eggs, from basically crotch-to-crotch contact. It might be pin worms. Honestly if I were you, I'd just go to the pharmacy and ask for an anti-parasitic pill, I think they give you fluconazole. A broad spectrum one will nuke any fungal or parasitic colony you may have picked up.

        how long did it take to get your intial outbreak after you first got it? I've fricked around a bit (~20ish count?) and have yet to get tested.

          If you haven't been using condoms there's a pretty good chance you could already have it. For me it took about 3 weeks after I came in contact. Doctor said it can take up to 3 months after contact for the first outbreak to happen. Some people have such little symptoms they don't even notice (which was the case for who gave it to me), some people don't have any symptoms. Probably should get tested my dude and play safe.

    I was out at a banquet for work last night and ended up going out for drinks afterwards with, among a bunch of other people, a sales manager from one of my clients. She is a little younger than me and very pretty (in a natural, good bone structure, Disney princess sort of way rather than just Instahot). Kind of petite and has a good figure.
    We ended up hopping around hotel bars around the event venue and after wearing out my business credit card we are all several drinks in and at varying stages of buzzed to drunk. She starts complaining about her husband, mostly to two other women (one client from a different company, one who works at a rival firm) who were sitting at our table.
    >I don't know he's just been gaining weight lately and he has a beer belly now. Like I'm worried about his health right? I just wish he would take care of himself and stuff, like you know–
    She looks around for a second as if she is trying to find an example but looks across the table and points at me.
    >–like you anon! You work out and stuff don't you? You look great! I wish I was married to you!
    At this point the lady from the other firm, who is older but still a certified MILF, is nodding her head enthusiastically while my other client is looking somewhat uncomfortable and my older male coworker at the table next to us is cutting his eyes over in disapproval.
    I'm married and don't plan on doing anything with this information I just thought it was amusing. She is very pretty though.
    Also I had to go retrieve my truck this morning from a public garage after Ubering home and I paid like $55 for parking.

        I felt like it was in good humor, at least I hope so since they have kids and stuff. She doesn't seem like the type (sober or otherwise) who is really holding it against him.
        Interestingly another one of my coworkers went to college with her (kind of weird since they went to a large college but it's about 400 miles away and in a different state) and he showed me a picture of them on Facebook from when they were in college, let's just say he really outkicked his coverage. Good for him though.

      All women are awful it's insane. The only ones that aren't awful are too afraid to be awful but will become awful the minute they get the chance. It's frustrating but you can't text women back too early, you can't show too much interest, you can't really give them compliments, and if you do find a nice innsecure girl, you're gonna have to basically never tell her you think she's pretty or she'll leave you.

      Not to mention the physical barriers to getting a girl to consider you.

      if she asks you out to do that crap it means she's interested in you, in our 20s we don't hang out with the opposite sex unless we're trying to form a relationship. Make a move, if you don't you'll get friend zoned, if she rejects you you'll get friend zoned, so basically if you don't try you lose.

          Amazon and Google are bolstering their cloud offerings (AWS and GCP) as companies migrate offerings to cloud-based shit. Think financial firms that develop user portals, or Healthcare systems providing outpatient shit that can be organized and coordinated between patient and providers. Amazon and Google are hosting and sometimes being commissioned to help create these digital products. Facebook is developing that Metaverse shit, and I haven't looked too much into it to give a frick.
          I work in cybersec with clients that cover all spectrum of these kinds of offerings, but the idea is basically to develop user experiences with the big tech companies providing de-localized infrastructure so that menial shit can be off-loaded from human effort. Like instead of needing to coordinate something between 3 different offices, the apps and systems can coordinate instantly and provide a more immediate outcome. In many cases this is directly beneficial to customers, and from the company side it is ultimately not costly (the development and improvement from a team of 100 offers much more transactional scaling than teams 3 times that doing the same work manually).
          That said, the other side is the big companies are swallowing the little tech firms whole, so if small companies make something really beneficial they are quickly put under the umbrella of a giant and its why you don't hear about flashy new up and comers for long.

    I'm going to be 27 in a few months and it honestly feel like life is down hill for me ever since I turn 20. Family was in big trouble. My dad went full schizophrenic and refused treatment. Had to spend months slowly coaxing him out of a dingy hotel room. He was a paranoid wreck. Had to spend even more time convincing him to get treatment. And as a cherry on top, my sister was failing her education and was mixing with the wrong crowd. Had to pause my career to help them.

    I got things more or less in order now. But at the same time I couldn't help but feel bitter I sacrificed my best years for my family. I rejected romantic advances and opportunities because I don't have the energy left after dealing with everything.

    My smiles don't quite reach my eyes anymore. And I feel tired. So very damn tired. I've never been in a relationship while some of my friends are already marrying. My career is several years behind everyone in my friend group.

    What scares the shit out me is there are moments where I thought it would have been better if I had ran. Couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if I just abandon them to their fates. Just throw their burdens, troubles, and responsibilities away so I can finally focus on my life.

          The workout is less important than the recovery. Lifting is simply the stimulus to your body that it needs to grow muscle in certain areas and proportions. The actual effectiveness of growth depends on the factors outside of the gym.

    I posted this in the earlier bar thread but I think it got deleted. Could use some advice. I have been on something like a 6 year dry spell to the point that I may as well have regained my virginity. Recently moved back to near where I grew up, and have committed myself to getting out of this self imposed/perpetuating social isolation. I decided to go out solo to have a few beers at some familiar old places even though I dont really drink anymore. For the first time ever, women (and people generally) seemed super interested in intiating conversation with me. Long story short, I ended up getting this womans number. Everything was going pretty well minus a few awkward moments (like grilling me on why I was single) but I'm so rusty socially and by that point drunk, my brain just had a meltdown and I kind of paused, touched her shoulder and then just sorta left. I'm completely mortified and I'm not even sure whether I should text her. We made tentative plans for next weekend but she probably thinks I'm a true autist at this point right?

    Anyway, mostly just venting. I swear trying to resocialize yourself is the most challenging thing I've ever done. How can you be so bad at something that other people just do automatically? People are brutal. It feels like a high stakes poker game. Being a shut in is the easy route by far but I'm so sick of feeling abnormal and I do want a kid at some point.

    Incidentally, alcohol is fricking bullshit. It turns me into a turbosperg. I hate how ingrained it is into meeting people.

      don't sweat your interactions with women. Most of them are familiar and smooth in certain types of situations, but in candid conversation are a lot less certain and confident than men. Just be normal when you text her about the weekend, and if she's available then make sure you already have a plan, for example; "Earls at 7pm Saturday?".

      If you have a lot of free time I'd recommend getting a cashier or customer service job to do maybe 2 days a week. And practice your greetings and conversations on every customer. Especially with women, it'll make it habitual to just be candid and cheerful when you talk to them.

      Also when you talk to women be aware of what your intentions are and be as straightforward as possible about what those are.

      I think it was google that analyzed male figures in novels for women and constructed an archetype of the attractive male: straightforward, honest, confident, self assured, values his own time and goals, competent, successful. Just try to be that.

      Lastly keep in mind that the likelihood of getting rejected when you talk to women in a candid manner is low. Like 50% if you're an average guy and a stranger to her, much lower if you make uourself appealimg.

        You're too much in your head, man. You got her number and have tentative plans to do something together on a weekend.

        You know what that means? You're doing good, and you're not as much of a sperg as you think you are. She's attracted and wants to see what you're about, so try to relax and enjoy it. That negative voice that's coming through your writing has beaten you down long enough. It's simply not true, and you're well on your way.

        Stop putting some much emotional weight to everything. You are the master of yourself, not your emotions or insecurities. If you're interesting in her, get to know her, but don't latch onto her like a drowning victim. You're not drowning, so relax.

        Also, who cares? By that I mean, who cares if you're a sperg or an autist or a shut in or any of those things? The fact that you're willing to get outside your comfort zone is miles above any of those labels. And no one cares about those things unless it's a serious problem (like you literally don't take care of yourself or actively don't try).

        You can only be who you are meant to be. Frick everyone who has a problem with that. But clearly this woman doesn't have a problem, so see where it goes and if it leads to nothing, it leads to nothing. Learn to let go and just enjoy yourself. You only get one shot at this life, don't fill it with regrets and coulda-woulda-shoulda's.

        thanks bros, think i just needed some reassurance. being an island can definitely have its tough times. gotta just put the work in like aything else.

        >straightforward, honest, confident, self assured, values his own time and goals, competent, successful.
        whats funny is i actually behave in this manner in all other aspects of my life but its like when it comes to women i turn back into a scared little boy. its so embarrassing.

    I was officiating a youth soccer match today and a parent tried to confront and accost the teenage kid who was the center because of a PK call he disagreed with. I got in between them to tell the parent to talk to me not the kid and he ran away with his tail between his legs. I like to imagine it was my fit physique that helped.

    I have ruined all of my 20s working at a pathetic, humiliating job. I barely do anything all day and I've truly completely humiliated myself. The boss thinks that I do so much and cannot be replaced. I put in 2 weeks notice for my last day to be last Friday end of July. Last Monday we discussed the situation, basically my only option to them is doing an aspect of it in a remote way that will be maybe half to 3/4 time that I can do at home in the evening. I think we are meeting tomorrow to see if they are accepting it. If they don't accept it then I'm leaving

    I have no other job lined up and honestly don't even know what the hell to look for or what to even do considering how I've wasted my entire life. I enjoy nothing and I have very few skills. The thought of having to fill out a resume and do a job interview with the state of my life terrifies me.

    The reason that I have finally decided to quit is because since turning 30 all I think about all day every day is how much I have ruined my life and I literally want to kill myself every single day. If I'm so pathetic that with a college degree I can't get a job in the great resignation, despite the incoming recession, then I deserve to be unemployed and I'm going to kill myself anyway.

    I don't even know where to start rn, my life seems to be falling apart right in front of my eyes. I recently finished my degree with an okish result but honestly it feels so shit because I could've done so much better. Over the past year I've gotten way too comfortable with everything which ultimately ended up leading to the consequences I'm having to deal with now.
    Mental health is at an all time low, physique looks like when I started the gym 5yrs ago. My gf of 4 years who I'm still crazy about and having a hard time dealing with her not being in my life. Have my physical health and a loving family, cool dog and few decent friends, having a ridiculously hard time being grateful for those things. I was in a terrible place mentally before the break up, but that definitely put me into a new low which I've only felt ever once before. 5 years ago after my 1st gf cheated on me.
    The worst thing is I understand why my gf broke up with me, I've become such a stagnant and boring guy, from someone who did a little bit of something and trying to progress in all facets of life to a guy who does the bare minimum and never leaves the comfort zone. It's easy for me to blame covid but I think I should own up to my own mistakes and inaction. I don't know, shit's complicated. On top of all been struggling to find a job because the current market for tech jobs in my country is in shambles. So I'm broke, sad and horny lol.

Slow boiling frog shit, who cares, we're all sitting in the comfort of our homes shitposting with our fridges full, who cares if gas prices double and meat triples. Still gonna keep going.

    I haven't yet formulated this to a good one liner, but you can't let your insecurities surface in friendships or romantic relationships. They just "reflect" back on you in weird ways from your friend / partner, such that it modifies their behavior too. You kind of own it to yourself and to them not to let your insecurities control you.

          Though seriously loose women and men (15+ body count) probably cannot make friends or love, but not everyone has such high body count.

      I don't know what to do about this. I rationally know any normal girl in her mid 20s is gonna have 5-20 sexual partners. And that I would've had too if I didn't spend so many years being an antisocial shizo. But it still feels weird to enter a relationship with an imbalance like this and the knowledge a dozen other guys fricked her as well.

        Does it really matter the body count? She never knew you existed before this relationship. End of the day it's not uncommon for people to have 5+ sexual partners.

            This is my first time coming back to IST in about 2 years, and let me tell you, chief, this place is fricking terrible now.

            I love you, random anon. You came here with good intentions - the best intention, trying to make a better future for yourself. It's gone terribly wrong.
            My advice to anyone wanting a better physique, improved mental health, higher self esteem, even better luck with women, is to get out of this place at Mach Frick and never look back. Even now, you're probably thinking, "Oh, this will probably get someone less motivated to give up and leave, but not me - I'm special. I get something here I can't get anywhere else." You're not special, you've fallen into a digital psychopathic succubus den. You've abandoned your crew, Odysseus, to go listen to the sirens. You think they're telling you secrets that no other man knows but they're just trying to eat your giblets.
            This is your catalyst to leave. The universe just gave you a sign via my sunday night, slightly drunk rant. Go. Go. Go. Go lift your weights, eat your food, and make new friends, and for the love of God almighty stop coming here expecting success to follow.

            Coincidence, I left IST around 2015 and only come every few months after a 7 year hiatus to feel better about myself. Most people on this forum are so socially inept it's almost frightening. Makes me wonder if I was as bad back when I went here daily. I like to think IST was better back then, but in all reality I probably stooped down to this level as well. I'm glad I got better, and hope everyone else does at some point.
            I think most people initially come here for self-improvement, but this forum definitely has the opposite effect. There's nothing positive about becoming cynical and hateful to people who are happier than you are.

            It's easier to bring others down to your level than to raise yourself to theirs, but you never really got any better in doing so, did you?

            https://i.imgur.com/CLHbBQK.jpg

            Similar experience, Came here in 2016 after a break up expecting to learn how to improve and ended up more of a degenerate. Came back for some morbid curiosity as I now have a solid job, GF and such.

            A lot of misinformation on basically everything to do with fitness and self improvement. Some are shit posting but most of them are too far gone they legit think half the shit here is solid advise.

            People here believe finasteride is some drug used for castration and somehow using fricking vinegar and micro needling is the answer to MPB.
            150 minutes of cardio is a meme and bullshit.

If you don't keep people up to a moral standard, it's a nihilistic free for all, the last men as Nietzsche described it. So stick it up your ass.

          That's what I said, I don't think it's some kind of problem in the sense of thinking less of her. I just feel like it creates an imbalance. When a girl is the first person I ever loved and the first or one of the first to have sex with she is incredibly special to me, while for her I'm just sexual partner #15 and boyfriend #5. As the consequence our perception of the experience we are sharing is inherently different. Even if she truly loves me, that love will always be diluted with the knowledge of previous men who she felt the same for.

    I'm knocking on the door of 40, I'm married with kids and in general a happy guy. I do keep having these what if thoughts, like I'll think about an ex-girlfriend and past life choices.

    For example, recently thinking alot of this girl Julie I dated in the early 2000s. Only really dates for half a year or so but she asked me to elope with her and move to the rural Pacific Northwest with her. Keep dwelling on how different my life would be if I did that. Or sometimes think about this job offer I had to go to Chile that I didn't take.

    I dunno, stuff like that I keep thinking about. I almost feel like I'm in a mid life crisis.

      I'm 34 and I do that too with my 'what if' girl. It's just a natural part of being older and seeing more doors closed to you than open, I think. You'd think this way even if you had eloped.
      I'd say try to look at your life in isolation - if you're happy with it then great. If not then make changes, or just go buy that Miata.

        Yeah like I said I'm a happy guy and I'm very happy with my family. Just these past memories keep my mind racing, especially on slow nights at work like tonight where I listen to a lot of music and my thoughts start to drift.

        Just remember driving around with Julie in my clapped out fox body mustang. Blasting shitty nu metal while chain smoking cigarettes. I felt so free back then. Now I got a mortgage and a family, I gotta make plans to go to the beach where before I'd wake up and be like "ya today is a beach day" or randomly drive to Chicago to try deep dish pizza which is like a 20hr drive from me.

        While I do think Miatas are cool I ended up getting a Corvette for my midlife crisis car. I'm too tall for a Miata anyways

      Yeah, I feel like IST strongly overestimates the number of partners most people have. There are a lot of people who only have sex in the context of long term relationships. It's hard to get a body count over 10 that way.

    Some days I have rage for no reason. I just want to decapitate a motherfricker. Spent most of my life learning how to beat the shit out of the vast majority of people. Have a belly now and don’t care for any sort of exercise. Had no guidance in this life and was thrown to the wolves from a young age. Full of flaming hate at the moment because I’m impatient for my future. Have class in the morning but I can’t sleep despite only getting 3 hours the previous night. Just want my degree to be done already so I can move forward to the next stage of my life. At the point where I’m really starting to feel lonely with friends and destroyed the relationship with my childhood friends who I should have treated better and grown up with. No gf, don’t even think about it anymore because I’m a slow starter and can’t keep people around until the good part comes out. Constantly seeing the people I grew up with live successful lives and wonder when it’s my turn. Hear about the generation after mine already finding their success too.

    TLDR; I’m an impatient bitter shit who’s watching all the bad decisions he made in life flash before his eyes as he’s trying to fix them. At least I still have my brother and mom

    This is my first time coming back to IST in about 2 years, and let me tell you, chief, this place is fricking terrible now.

    I love you, random anon. You came here with good intentions - the best intention, trying to make a better future for yourself. It's gone terribly wrong.
    My advice to anyone wanting a better physique, improved mental health, higher self esteem, even better luck with women, is to get out of this place at Mach Frick and never look back. Even now, you're probably thinking, "Oh, this will probably get someone less motivated to give up and leave, but not me - I'm special. I get something here I can't get anywhere else." You're not special, you've fallen into a digital psychopathic succubus den. You've abandoned your crew, Odysseus, to go listen to the sirens. You think they're telling you secrets that no other man knows but they're just trying to eat your giblets.
    This is your catalyst to leave. The universe just gave you a sign via my sunday night, slightly drunk rant. Go. Go. Go. Go lift your weights, eat your food, and make new friends, and for the love of God almighty stop coming here expecting success to follow.

      Coincidence, I left IST around 2015 and only come every few months after a 7 year hiatus to feel better about myself. Most people on this forum are so socially inept it's almost frightening. Makes me wonder if I was as bad back when I went here daily. I like to think IST was better back then, but in all reality I probably stooped down to this level as well. I'm glad I got better, and hope everyone else does at some point.
      I think most people initially come here for self-improvement, but this forum definitely has the opposite effect. There's nothing positive about becoming cynical and hateful to people who are happier than you are.

      It's easier to bring others down to your level than to raise yourself to theirs, but you never really got any better in doing so, did you?

      Similar experience, Came here in 2016 after a break up expecting to learn how to improve and ended up more of a degenerate. Came back for some morbid curiosity as I now have a solid job, GF and such.

      A lot of misinformation on basically everything to do with fitness and self improvement. Some are shit posting but most of them are too far gone they legit think half the shit here is solid advise.

      People here believe finasteride is some drug used for castration and somehow using fricking vinegar and micro needling is the answer to MPB.
      150 minutes of cardio is a meme and bullshit.

      I disagree and I think many people would. You try to be smart about it and use a predictable straw-men argument that everyone who believes browsing IST is not as counterproductive as it is for you is wrong. Let me explain to you why this is bullshit as succinctly as I can. As far as my experience goes, there is merit in listening to opinions of others. These are people who include everyone that is not (You). This means your family, your colleagues, strangers etc. Internet has allowed for a scale of communication and exchange of information unparalleled in the real world, and in the past. Because of how much internet changed the world, and due to other reasons, for some it is difficult to communicate in such a way in any other way than on the internet. Now, if somebody happens to search for fitness-related, or beauty/dating/lifestyle-related content, there are many forums to choose from. There are arguments to be made for choosing IST as your go-to forum. I am not saying that spending large part of your free time here is necessarily beneficial, nor will I dwell on how your generalizing, self-centered assumption that it benefits no-one is illogical. What I am trying to say is that everyone has their own way in life and decisions you make can be influenced by anything, literally anything you see. Who is to say that reading IST isn't a part of that? If you had never gone to IST, you wouldn't have concluded that it has a bad influence on you. Surely, even this realization itself has had some effect on how you look at things. Don't say that there is no good in this

      ultimately just like all of us
      live life grand, refuse yourself nothing
      bro tomorrow they could decide to freeze bank accounts
      to take people's properties
      you better off spending it as soon as you get it
      on yourself, and yourself alone
      no commodities

    I had this crush on this girl for a long time, asked her out, nothing came of it, and then finally she reciprocated, months later. For some reason I felt sad, depressed, anxious. I nearly had a panic attack. It was nice though, the date.

      Iktf, I think this is normal because first you may feel sad and ashamed and shot down, and then when the situation changes for the "better" you see that she treats this whole matter more lightly than you, since she can change her mind, and she doesn't care, at least less than you do, so now you are supposed to go from unhappy to happy but it's not as easy as it seems and you still remember the negativity so you feel sad because you are conscious about it.

      diamond hands
      you going to need to do movements
      that go concentrically in
      you know what a concentric movement is
      picture two circular motions going inwards
      into each other
      just venn diagram your shit
      you need to hit it from a circular rotation motion
      going inwards into your pectus centre
      really focus and be mindful
      look at it from an engineering p.o.v
      the body mechanics answer to physics
      you can even design your own exercise
      provided you know the limits of muscular and joint range
      concentric shouldn't frick you up though
      unless your elbows have a tendency to buckle
      or dislocate
      I also would suggest not to involve shoulders
      in your movement.
      I think for you it can be just a forearm/pec/tri movement
      think of the diamond push-up
      that is the sort of motion you need
      but more concentric and even perhaps add
      some inclination if you are lacking at the top of
      the pec...good luck bro

    Asked someone to move out the way of my bench as he was stood right in front of it when I was trying to bench. Dude took it the wrong way but ignored it as I was nice enough asking him to move.

    Half way home, just overwhelming experience of anxiety and wanting to cry. Nothing happened and no reason for this to happen, Suddenly overwhelming urge to kill myself and hide away from the world.

      you were in the middle of a high effort, taxing exercise
      an antagonistic response caught your CNS off guard
      while the guards were not up so to speak
      it got in deep
      don't sweat it
      it'll release next time you have a physical activity
      make sure to focus on form next time
      get deep in your zone, deep inner focus
      so that you do not let the negative experience affect you again
      just push it away next time you bench

    just gonna dump this here. so i've been dating this girl whom i thought was the loml for a little more than a year now. prior, we were really good friends for nearly 7 years. we hooked up a few times in 2020 and then last year we decided to give "us" a chance and i thought things would be perfect, wanted to marry her. things took a turn after the first 6 months and we have been through a lot of back and forth, lots of trust issues, won't go into details but i have caught her in so many white lies and bullshit just short of actually cheating on me. i keep giving her chances but mostly it's because i feel trapped and old. i'm only 28 but i feel like she was my last chance at lifelong real love because we have so much in common and when things are good, we are best friends and it's super chill. i also gained a lot of weight since dating because i let myself get too comfy so i feel very insecure about being single again. shitty, i know. i guess it inspires me to get my diet back in check again. i know i'm young still but it's hard to explain unless you have also been there. frick bros. idk what to do. i sacrificed a lot and have put in so much into this relationship and i even went from an 80% travel job to a remote wfh job and i can't even take advantage of being able to work anywhere and travel because i'm stuck. i wish i could just get a "single" pass for like 2 years.

    >friends all went to uni
    >endless job and apprenticeship applications just end with “sorry another applicant has been selected for this role”
    >live in rural bongland, no young people around here

    I have no idea where to progress and gain skills, only to apply to apprenticeships and jobs whilst I do nothing for the rest of the day.

      You're better off for it though. And even if she did actually find you annoying (more likely she didn't ever give a flying frick, literally took up no space in her thoughts), there'll be others. Personally I can't bring myself to delete just yet, need to see her one last time IRL so I don't feel like a dick. As if I'm the dick. Frick.

    My gf has a friend who's in her late 30s and divorced. She lives with her two sons, one of which is an autistic 10 year old, and her parents. She has a decent paying job. She was going around fricking random guys for a while on match.com hoping to find a provider. A few months ago she found a guy who's in his early 40s, is a doctor who has his own practice, and in the process of getting divorced from his wife of 20 years I think. The guy separated from his wife 8 months ago and then started dating this girl 3 months later. They fricked on the second date. Now he's already asking her to come live with him and bring her whole family to his house. He's going around meeting her whole family and she's been talking about the two of them getting married. His divorce isn't even finalized yet. But something just seems off to me about all of it. She really doesn't have anything to offer him aside from a massive load of baggage. And he's not even out of very long term relationship. What's his angle? Or is she just lucky and found the right guy at the right time?

      Maybe the guy just wants to control her. I would comment on that, but that's it. Do not get involved into it. You don't have to save everyone.

      Maybe she's completely submissive to him and he just wants someone to boss around? Or she does some freaky fetish shit he's into? Or maybe he unironically fell in love with her (kek)?

    Passed a guy on the street today. We were those awkward nerd kids in high school who only hung out together because we were unpopular but we actually hated each other then, too (we're still both losers 10 years later). I was leaning on a building looking at my phone, didn't notice him coming down the street. Just as he was passing by, I sneezed and he said in his typical smug holier than thou tone "bless you, [name]" without turning back. Meaning "lmao were you trying to hide from me you insecure shit". I was already saying "thanks" before he finished the sentence because I thought it was some random stranger saying it. Now I look like a low confidence beta b***h who hides from people I don't like. Frick this shit and frick him

    Giving people the ILLUSION of optionality, such as the SwipeAppHell (on top introducing gay lifestyle to normal people), is a disaster. People think they're pocketing time, or choices, to use later. It's entirely the opposite. It's burning the candle at both ends.

    Had to throw a hobo off a tram today. Very belligerent and stunk to high heaven. Some dude with a face tattoo tried to intervene, I think he assumed I was abusing an elderly. Then he took a whiff of that piece of shit scum and helped me instead.
    It's interesting how nobody else did anything, even the women around the hobo, and he was yelling at them, calling them prostitutes and worse.

                yeah
                i know the feel
                the kids are there, maybe for me that got into a school at 18, or for me that wasn't okay being loner. they met them 10-5 years ago.
                for me? the introvert dead-ender? heh

                its a quite rug pull when you realize you became stone cold loner that can survive alone only to realize being the exact opposite is literally better

          Problem is it's not about having just some anyone, but that one person, that one that makes those moments even more than they are on their own.

          What a joke it all is. Any anons that got that person already: don't frick it up, morons.

            I don't want to share moments. I am so fricking tired of spending most of my free time on a person who treats everyone except me like absolute trash.
            And I know eventually she'll turn on me too.

                But it doesn't sound like you have that. You sound like you're scared of going back to being alone, so you stick with some chick that makes you feel like shit.

                Oh my bad anon, misread it earlier as she treats everyone good except you.
                You'll never be able to change that about her though.. can you really live with her being a b***h to everyone but you for the rest of your life?

    I don't enjoy things. I don't like tv. I don't like games. I've spent most of my life alone and never developed interest in the shit people do together. It makes it very hard to try to spend time with anyone. I ask, "for what?" All I want to do is talk and have sex. I don't care about these pastimes that everyone else appear to need. It gets so frustrating. It appears I have to force myself to watch TV or play stupid board games if I ever want a relationship with a b***h. Oh well. I still get plenty of sex so that's cool. But the whole married life sounds like something in cheated out of by this stupid world.
