    Hopeless enough to actually be wondering what the easiest way to die would be. Still working out though since it's just routine. It doesn't even feel satisfying lifting anymore, it's just part of life I can't not do it.

      For once, I'm rather good, OP. How are you?

      Only thing that comes to mind here is try to change your surroundings as much as you can. Sometimes a mix up of what your surrounded by (even if it means just painting a part of your house or building a shed) can make all the difference to your mentality and how you view things. I think this could reignite your spark for lifting. Above all, exhaust all means.

      I’m fricking broke. I’ve wasted my 20s I’ll be 27 next month. No idea what job to do and at this point I don’t care as long as it’s not retail/food and it’s something I can actually do. Tried trades, tried working on an ambulance, tried sales, I’m a failure. I don’t care about being passionate anymore. I don’t know that I can hold down a soul sucking office job for more than a year but frick…. I have no skills. I’m going no where in life fast. I fear I will end it soon.

      I was broke until I was 25, I'm older now, by not much. I messed around going for an all time record on the biggest butthole award. Genuinely was a grim person, constantly partying and acting foolish. If I can change my life, and I did for the better, then you certainly can. There are far worse off cases than us and everyone has their cross to bear. I had little no know skills, I started reading into something that I found to be enjoyable and now I ever so fortunately work in pathology and virology. Whether you want to be a singer, construction worker, dancer, salesman, whatever it is; the capability is in your hands.

      I’m too fat for military either and I don’t think I’d even survive in that environment. I’m fasting right now just letting myself lose gains and strength for the sake of being lean so in a worst case scenario if I don’t figure things out I can join and get through basic, at least that’s something. But I’m losing my fricking mind. I’m terrified.

      Keep up the good work, the strength will return once your body has realigned. "Realigned" being a bad term to use, but this is only the beginning.

      I feel fricked, girl and I decided to stay friends but I still want to kiss her, I’ve got an exam tomorrow and an essay due tonight. I hate love and what it’s done to me, my mood has fluctuated so much in the past week. Before that I was just depressed

      You're likely undergoing emotional unrest as a result of a major intimate/romantic change in your life. And yes, it couldn't have come at a worse time than before a deadline, best advice I can think of; Imagine what the five year older version of you would say to you right now. You'll face far bigger challenges, this one just feels worse because it's so fresh.

        Being a singer or dancer isn't a real job. 99% of jobs are fricking meaningless and soulless. I don't feel passionate about scamming old people into some shitty deal or pouring concrete. Idk about that anon, to me a job is the shittiest part of life. But there is no way around it, you have to beat yourself every day to make money so you don't live in a rented bug-chamber.

          I’m that anon and that’s part of why I feel so fricked up. It’s necessary to have money, but 90% of jobs are meaningless and it’s like… Like bro look at the reality of this: I’m on the edge of my 10th panic attack about this issue in the last 3 months, I am stressing over trying to do something I have no desire to do because it’s basically giving away all my time for some rich dickheads wallet.
          I was trying to do a job where I could be active and hands on more than anything vs punching a keyboard in a cubicle, got an EMT license and quit after one day in the job realizing how fricked up the job was. 15 hour days for $15/hr at most, dealing with super fricked up sad sick people, pissy c**t boss etc.

          Now I’m at the point I’ll take the soul sucking office job just to start saving money and to get by but I don’t even qualify for office work. I’m seriously considering bullshitting resumes and lying about experience and just dicking around at jobs until they figure me out and fire me.

          Ideally I could have my own business but I have no business considering that when I have $150 to my name and still live with my parents.
          Yeah shit could be worse for me, I could be out on my own having to make rent but I’m losing my fricking mind because the issue of paying rent or a mortgage is so far out of my way…

            Yeah I honestly have no clue how to approach this issue. I have some passive income from before but its not enough to save up for anything serious. I will probably just have to bite the bullet. Lying about your resume and experience might work if you don't overdo it and the employers don't care too much, but I think this is dependent on the country or area. I know it wouldn't work where I live because of how much these Black folk glorify education.

I can’t fricking deal with other people I’ve forced myself to socialize for years (hence wasted 20s) and I just can’t fricking do it it’s so uncomfortable to me.

          Yeah that’s basically what I’m doing with the fasting. I have to lose about 60lbs to be at a weight where I can start running without risking fricking with old knee injuries. I can’t even run 1/4 mile right now that’s how weak of a person I am. I wouldn’t even get accepted in my current state. So while I’m not doing shit and I’m clueless about what’s gonna happen to me in life I’m at least starving the fat away so I can start building my endurance asap. 6’2” 260lbs. If all else fails, I can at least try to join the Air Force or something and do my 4 years or however long it takes to get benefits. Or end up staying if I find I like it.

        Unless you do something moronic like join army or marine infantry you'll be fine. Basic hasn't been about being fit for a long time, it's really just you having to prove you're not an illiterate moron and don't break down the moment someone yells at you a little. Go join a technical MOS that could translate to something you'd be interested in doing as a civilian and it'll be a normal job with the occasional business/camping trip with guns, use the GI bill afterwards to pick up a bach degree in whatever since companies just filter people without degrees even for menial shit these days.

          I work at a pentest firm. It sounds way more fun than it actually is. Unless you're really into the stuff, I honestly wouldn't recommend it because you're either dealing with total morons and spend half the engagements blocked on credentials to run fricking authenticated scanning, or you deal with egotistical project managers and devs who don't like their precious shit being run through like that (not because of pride in their work but usually because they don't want their moronic barely functional code looked at too closely).
          And OSCP is fricking hard as hell. I don't know what your timeframe is for it, but you're looking at several years

              Honestly, I hate working in tech. At this point I'm collecting some money to have on hand for a move to a new area and a new life, so I'll probably be out of the pentest game by next year.
              From my own experience and the experiences I've gathered from people in devops and sec, unless you're REALLY passionate about what you're doing (like developing your own app as an entrepreneur, or you work for a meaningful organization) tech is just soul crushing bullshit and the modern day version of pencil pushing. The only real benefit is it pays disproportionately well, but that's both leveling out soon and is atrociously competitive with moronic standards that don't actually equate to anything.
              But that's my perspective. If you're going into that route, you need to be pretty dedicated since pentesting is a constantly evolving beast and you need a very conscientious eye or risk doing dumb or bad shit (like misconfiguring a basic scan automation and DoSing a client's website)

    I believe I should stop fapping and stop watching porn, but I fail everyday... I definitely reduced the frequency, but the desire is there and it is strong... I don't know what I am supposed to do. I CAN'T talk to women. I just can't. I don't know what to say and etc. Whatever people are born with that allows them to talk to each other in a sexual/romantic way, I just don't have it. I never developed it. Nobody taught me; that's, if somebody should have taught me at all...
    I also worry, because I feel like I will never love anyone else in the world. The only girl I loved was a crush at school and since them I've never developed feelings for anyone else.

      that's a conflicting statement, you imply that it;s genetic, but then that it can be taught, you can't talk to women because you are in a state of doublethink.
      p.s. it can be learned, and you will love others, the key to both is just to talk to girls. practice and learn how.

        Also the apartment right above me took on fire today 🙂 Now I'm freezing in my room with the windows wide open to get all the smoke out.

          But yeah it seems that people who are always feeling potential new jobs out have more success. I heard that switching jobs is the best way to make a higher salary. Now I guess you ought to take my advice with a grain of salt since I'm still trying to finish my degree so I've only had jobs as a waiter and stuff before. I'm just relaying you stuff other people told me.

          But even when I get my first job I think it'd be best to make sure my resume is updated regularly and probably after 6 months or so I'd start getting more serious about looking for something better while I'm still working.

        Infatuation? Probably, but I still have to work through it and it blows. The three of us were together almost all year since she was single and I started getting those kind of childhood crush attachment feelings.

        My friend recently had his first kid, making me the only one in my circle without any and Im not getting any younger. Gf has no interest in kids and tbh I dont see her doing well as more than an aunt.

        I figure Ive got about a 2% chance at going the sister-wife route with them.. Otherwise theres no good end here. At least I can yoga out my ass-muscle.

        I liked Care Bears too much as a high school boy and I had no father to tell me I was being an autist and my coddling mother overly encouraged it because my older brother died jumping his motorbike over the town laundrymat and she was happy to have her only child left safe at home watching the same old care bear vhs tapes over and over again. my mom died in an elevator accident when I was 19 and with the help of my uncle we were able to get a 20 million dollar payout in wrongful death lawsuit. although I still have the majority of the money I have never recovered mentally and never will.

          I don't know your money situation but I'm assuming you have enough set to support yourself. That being said, maybe a career could get you out of a darker mindset and preoccupy yourself. My condolences to you, you'll never truly get over what happened. But you still have a chance to build yourself up.

        41 years is a long story. My situation right now is I live with my gf who is the sole bread winner in the relationship, and doesn't care if I work or not. I sit at home all day besides when I go grocery shopping or to the gym. Sounds like a cake situation but I think I'm starting to lose what little self worth I have left for myself.

          tips for opening up socially; you gotta kinda warm up and get in a social mindset, can be draining for us autists and people with social anxiety, the anxiety drains you. you feel more comfortable if you stretch your arms up and make an open/wide posture. also i find a lot of my social anxiety stems from ignoring some big problem and going ahead with things anyway, so stop ignoring it. if there's some problem, confront it, because i guarantee, the temporary unpleasantness of confronting things that are bothering you is nothing compared to extended social anxiety and letting yourself suffer so that what, some arsehole can avoid an uncomfortable interaction? frick 'em. Confront the thing to dispell the social anxiety.

      i got out once or twice, but it happened so gradually, i didn't notice, you just feel neutral normally, you feel kind of ... motivated? that grey cloud of inner misery is gone, you just feel neutral. and like you want to get up and do things sometimes. i only realised i was out when someone betrayed me and it was like "oh, this is a familiar feeling, i didn't feel this yesterday"

    Let's treat ourselves to a white russian tonight, barkeep!
    Bros, I recently started putting myself out there again after a 9 year relationship, had some dates, some rejections, some girls I had to let down, it's all going pretty normally, more smoothly than I first expected. I figure I even have the self esteem to try online dating, but there's a problem: I have an irrational fear of having my picture taken. It makes me physically ill. I haven't had a picture of myself on my phone since I was in high school. I'm not ugly, I'm in good shape and confident, I want to get out there. What do I do? Do I just have to accept that I'll probably throw up in the time it takes me to get a few good images? Can I hire someone to go do some activity with me where they can get good candids? I'm in the dark here.

    So here I find myself on a friday night, last night in Buenos aires, on my computer with noone to even talk to.

    I'm at a crossroads in life.

    I have an opportunity to relocate overseas, to a city I've been living in temporarily for the past year. It's a great city with plenty to do, but the problem is I have a limited social network. It makes seeing all the fun things painful, because I've got nobody to do things with.

    The offer will allow me to get by, but I'll be struggling financially. It will also involve inferior work from a technical perspective (engineer).

    The alternative is to move back in with my parents at home...at 28 I feel like this isn't the right move - I have to spread my wings at some point. But the work at home will be technically superior, for about 15% lower pay.

    People keep asking me...am I moving or going back home? I can't be honest with them and say the most appealing option for me is to resign, go travelling with 30% of the money I saved up, whilst I make a few plays in the stock market with the other 70%. If they make profit at the end of my travels...that's a sign to keep trying. If I lose it all, I'll end it. That's what I feel I truly want to do

      You’re 28 moving back home is not an option brother. You’ll settle in to the place you’re living and you’ll have to find group activities, meet ups, etc.

      If there’s that much of a gap between what you’ll make at home and what you’ll make in your city, it’s obviously a stepping stone job and you’ll move on eventually.

      Whatever you do, don’t go back home homosexual. No matter how broke you are, you’ll make it eventually, that’s what’ll make you a man.

    Why is so hard to do an extended fast anons? Seriously, just doing two weeks of fast would really change my life..

    The hardest part is that after two days i usually have Brain fog Wich is pretty annoying considering that I am an IT gay. So I kinda feel forced to end it by then.

        I already tried everything else. I did lose a shit ton of weight (i was morbidly obese). But those last 30 pounds thar separate me from muscular chubby to ripped Chad aren't going ANYWHERE.

        Yes, even CICO failed me. After a couple of days of lowering the calorie intake i start to feel letargic and weak. The only things that works is omad dry fasting, but it's Veeeery slow progress at this point.

        I did two weeks in college as a chem major during an objectively terrible time to do so.
        >nearing finals for quant, calc2, biochem, special advanced org elective
        I got through it just fine.
        I think people overestimate the extent of brainfog. Their thinking "feels different" and they sort of panic and assume they aren't able to think properly at all. It also seems like a lot of people are just sleep deprived and dehydrated.

        Interesting, did you consumed anything during that time (vitamins, electrolytes) or just water? Did you work out? Did you feel any mental improvement?

            If true then that sucks. I don't want to be weak for months. There must be another way.

            You’ve plateaued. It happens to all of us and you need to push through it and keep up the hard work. It can take weeks. You got this though brother.

            Thank you fren, but i lost the first 50 pounds a couple of years ago. I plateaued at 180 pounds for the last two years. Only Omad dry fasting (not just Omad) made that scale move.

            I drank an electrolyte mix similar to the snake juice stuff that gets posted here except I used a magnesium citrate powder instead of that awful epsom salt. I also took half a multivitamin tablet every other day. I can't exactly remember what my reasoning was for that. It might have been something someone told me about it upsetting your stomach.
            I did workout as well. Just lifting. I had some five day routine that was like 2 upper and 2 lower days and something in between not that it matters that much. The way I remember it, I was at about 90% of my usual weight for the same reps those two weeks.
            As for the way I felt mentally: it's hard to describe. My thought processes felt calm but also subdued. I never found myself unable to engage with my coursework as I had been before the fast. It was just different. It's like the pace was slowed (but not enough to cause problems regarding time) and the urgency was dialed back. I'd doublecheck myself constantly only to find that I did things correctly the first time. Halfway through I managed to stop second-guessing myself.

            Checked. Thank you for answering.

    I posted this in the other thread, but it seems this one took off and the other died. Got good advice there, but figured more input is better. Not expecting any difference advice though. Here goes:

    I'll have a Manhattan served up, stirred not shaken please. Better make it two of those while you're at it.

    I have cognitive dissonance about a girl I've been seeing. I can't tell if I'm just moronic or if its my gut telling me something I don't want to listen to.

    >Spend the last 2 years getting myself out of fat lard mode and into the best shape I've ever been in my entire life. To the point where I look in the mirror and cannot believe I'm looking at my reflection.
    >Start dating again 3 months ago
    >Things suck at first
    >Really dial in what I'm looking for and create a set of genuine standards
    >Things start getting better. so much better in fact that I suddenly have an abundance of women to choose from.
    >Find one I'm really into and hit it off
    >After a month of seeing her, decide shes way better than any of the others girls I've been seeing. Cut all other girls off. Tell her as such.
    >She says she likes how things are going so far, but she takes more time. Ok, no problem I think.
    >Another month, things are still going great.
    >Had a date with her again tonight, she suddenly cancels, saying shes got to help her grandfather out. Suddenly get this really bad feeling that she isn't interested.

    Why am I like this bros? I've come such a long way with confidence not only in myself as an individual, but also with women specifically. Is this what it's like to feel strongly about a girl? Why does one quite frankly realistic reason to cancel a date make me feel, frick I'll say it, insecure about her? I literally have no reason to feel insecure from an objective standpoint, but my gut is out here telling me I should be worried about whether or not things are as good as they seem. We seem to agree on just about everything in terms of what we want out of life & our core beliefs.

      Old habits die hard anon. You spent a lot of time as an insecure fat shit. Now you have proven to yourself and the world that is no longer you.
      Problem is that your mind it does not believe it yet, it needs more proof.

      Look, and you know this already, she is busy and canceled on you once. The best thing you can do right now is not freak out and show her that insecurity. Let it ride and KNOW that you will be okay even if it ends tomorrow. (Because you will)
      Call her up in a few days, ask how grandpa is doing and invite her to something else as long as she is still not busy. Then you look caring, secure, and still interested.

            Completely normal. Women are mindbroken by bawdting themselves out since teenage years. They can have a great time with you and you make them feel good and happy, ecstatic, but none of that leads to any bonding and connection for them. They can essentially LARP love but never feel any bond from it and just move on to the next without any feelings.

            It's not your fault. You just need to find the rare girls who haven't shredded their ability to develop a bond with someone.

            Through a long string of surgical shit, I found out I was born without vas deferens due to a genetic condition (the surgeries cost me my right nut). I may be able to have kids via IVF, but I don't want to pass on this illness to a child, even in just a carrier capacity. And for reasons of the illness, I don't want to adopt a child due to the high likelihood of me dying before the kid becomes an adult.
            >because it feels good and is fun?
            I don't find hook ups enjoyable. I would want sex with relationship partners, and I don't want to get into that realm anymore since a) women who don't want kids are often psychos and b) I don't want a woman's commitment to me to be the reason she doesn't have kids. It's better to just forego this whole thing and since I wind up using masturbation as a "last resort" kind of thing anyway I want to stop that too.

              I dunno, I hate being lonely, but I agree with about hookups sucking. I would be searching for a women who does not want kids or cannot have them. It really narrows down your options but it's better than accepting no sex/love for the rest of my life... I would not wanna go on if that was the case.
              I am wondering if I will ever get another gf and might end up calling it quits anyway, but that's another can of worms.

            I'm not religious. That doesn't mean I want to support the degenerate bullshit pushed on society. The fact that I'm infertile just reduces the reason to go out and date.

      Here’s a tip from someone who is just finishing STEM M.Sc.

      You can almost always pay to enroll in a single course or more while not officially a full time student at that university/college.

      If you want to do STEM I’d advise you to pay to enroll into 1 introduction math course, and just do that 1 course. Try to get an A. Then keep doing this.

      You can work while doing 1 course on the side. This means you can “warm up” your brain to the maths. Harvest some A’s.

      Then when you become an official student you can transfer over all your A’s and instantly have part of your degree done with a 4.0 GPA and being able to apply for good internships at companies so you get that on your CV too and maximize chances of being hired 100k starting after uni.

      If you just enroll as a full time student out of nothing you’ll most probably get your face smashed in and try to survive with a low GPA and no internships

I'm not afraid of talking to them, it's more of waiting for the right time when I need to make an opportunity, not wait for one.

      It's not an impossible dream, and nobody actually treats it as such. You're looking at a marketing image which is why that moron with his 2 company brands and branded shirt are plastered on the bottom.
      What you need to recognize about the modern grifter entrepreneur is that online they have to develop a literal cult of personality. Cults operate on 3 primary factors:
      >there is some kind of enemy (either metaphysical or physically present) holding you/us back
      >there is a leader that has cut through the enemy's bullshit
      >this leader offers you the alleged path they used to cut through the bullshit
      Change the topic of dissatisfaction -- money woes, poor physical health, poor mental health, poor relationships/sex life -- the list goes on, but there is ALWAYS someone to grasp at that for a quick buck. And now we're living in an age where any literal moron can drop $200 on a professional looking set up, and speak like a guru freely while the money rolls in.
      That guy probably packages the "challenge" with some of his other content to keep people coming back for more (notice how there's no mention or reducing streaming content like videos or podcasts). There is a slight element to it that people often make their work and/or family a priority to the point where they don't take care of themselves, so having a more dedicated, mindless regimen attached to something can at least kickstart the repair process. But there aren't many people benefiting beyond that. People like to think they're part of some "in-group" that is dedicated to something, so that challenge provides that element to what is otherwise purely solo endeavors

    My girlfriend and I are at that stage where we're talking about marriage and starting a family.
    I'll be honest, it's sort of a miracle I found a gf, I was a shy loner and an outcast until I was 27. I missed a lot of normie experiences in school and my first kiss was in college to a girl who prostituted herself out for weed. Even though I have found a gf, and even though I have been in a relationship for a number of years I feel like I wasted most of my life. If life was a game you'd want to restart this save file because I hit all of the focus tress too late. The first 26 years of my life might as well be a black hole. I missed so many vital social experiences it is at times difficult to relate to my wife and her friends or most people at work.
    If we have kids, especially a son, I don't want him to end up like me. I want him to be an old man one day, fondly reminiscing about this first highschool sweetheart and his school friends.
    I want any kids we have to surpass me in everything. I know my work is cut out for me, so I want to start planning now.
    I feel my mother (I was raised by a single mom) made a huge error in not enrolling me in any team sports or scouts. Based on what I have read team sports or scouts are probably the best way to instill a sense of adventure, independence and camaraderie onto a young boy. Is this right? I don't really care about the sport they play, as long as they play a sport. If I'm rich I'll sign them up for hockey, otherwise it's soccer/baseball.
    I also want my kids to be well read, I only became familiar with a lot of classic literature and philosophy in my 20s. I was frankly an average student and I know if I applied myself I could have accomplished more. Maybe my children will develop a natural sense of wonder and desire to learn if I tell them about the same classical literature and history that interests me?

      Not a parent, but I've been preparing myself for taking on a more fatherly position for my nieces and nephews since I can tell the writing is on the wall for my sister's divorce. There are important elements in raising kids:
      >stable structure
      Children's minds are chaotic by nature since they are exposed to near constant new shit. As such, there needs to be something orderly and predictable among that chaos so that they can create a sense of focus for certain things. This structure is made up of stable family life (or as stable as possible given circumstances like chronically ill siblings or a deceased/disabled parent) and stable routines (bed/wake times, meal times, chore/activity times, church attendance if religious this gets easier with school). With those, the child can see a) what is expected of them, and b) what the authority looks like to justify the expectations (shitty and abusive parents make children question fricking everything about the structures around them). Being a physically strong, well-read, even-keeled and supportive father will provide masculine form of stability while your wife should provide feminine.
      >some flexibility
      This goes hand in hand with stability because a child will test boundaries, and they should. A child needs to learn an appropriate level of risk-taking so they can learn independence and are open to new experiences. But the key phrase is "some flexibility" -- you're not giving carte blanche for recklessness. Bamboo is strong not because it doesn't break, but because it bends quite a bit before breaking. Keep flexibility healthy so the child can question authority and themselves appropriately.

        >respect for the child as a person
        This seems obvious but it's easily overlooked. Once the child has enough verbal capability to understand communication (even in developmentally disabled children like those on the spectrum), the adults around the child are often quick to dismiss the kid on the grounds that he is a kid. His opinion is not asked, or if it is there's no true consideration behind it. The kid's emotions are often dismissed because we adults think what the kid is valuing so much is too inane or stupid to warrant such emotions. And a lot of the time, adults adhere to their first impressions of kids as the defining factor of their relationship (first impressions are significant in relationships, but kids are not as privy to abstraction of other's thoughts).
        So in respecting a kid, you are
        >telling them the truth, even if the truth is explaining why you won't tell them something
        >asking the kid questions about themselves (this encourages the kid to discuss emotions in a healthy manner)
        >being stern but supportive when needing to correct or discipline a child (disciplining them should be about correction, not punishment)
        >respecting the kid's boundaries (this is a larger discussion but you can get an idea of this pretty easily)

        I think by incorporating those 3 elements, you raise a healthy kid with a good level of independence. They can be encouraged to do the healthy activities like being active and developing a good thirst for learning, while also indulging in some fun shit like vidya on occasion. You can introduce them to healthy eating early and not have to disguise healthy foods with bullshit like those chicken nuggets where the meat is ground up with veg to include vegetables on the plate. You can get them to develop a sense of confidence and self esteem that will carry them in peer groups and make them more tolerable to be around for yourself. And they may be smarter (or at least articulate) enough to communicate effectively for it.

      When I was a kid I read a lot of books. I remember being really proud of myself in 2nd grade when I read a 200 page book in one day. (It was called the Power of Un, I think.) I used to like the harry potter books in 3rd grade, too.

      I never had to be forced to read. Maybe I was a bit of a nerd but I think a good book is just entertaining. It's the same as watching a movie but I think you learn to focus more, you build a bit of an imagination. And I can feel in my mind that some of the books I read as a kid made some deep impact buried somewhere in my brain, even if I barely remember the book. I used to read a lot of these adventure books and even when you forget them, when you read them at such a young age they stick with you somehow.

      I just wish I could have those sort of experiences in real life, but I was never really given the opportunity. I read those survival books by Gary Paulsen. Robert Louis Stevenson books. Other ones. But I never got to go camping as a kid, no scouts, nothing like that. We did go on road trips to national parks but it was kind of ruined by having a shit family. In hindsight I wish I'd done scouting.

      I also wanted to do JROTC since middle school but my father never let me. Never gave me a good reason, either. Finally he let me do it one year before I'd age out anyway and it was great, but I never really forgave him from holding me back from doing it for all those years prior. If I'd done it for five years instead of one it would have been really good for me.

      I did play baseball and I loved it. I kept it up till the start of high school. But my father also forced me to play soccer which I sucked at and I hated. He also sent me to swimming lessons like I was preparing to be on the swim team. And he sent me to a bullshit mcdojo too because they told him it would build my discipline (protip: it didn't). I dreaded all of these things and every day I knew at the end of school I'd have to go suffer for two hours.

I dreaded all of these things and every day I knew at the end of school I'd have to go suffer for two hours.

      Cont'd. Ran into the character limit. Hope you don't mind.

      Anyway I think that if he'd told me to TRY soccer, TRY swimming,this and that, it would have been fine. If I were a father I'd want to give my kid opportunities and if he says hey, I hate soccer but I love baseball then I'd go sure son, just play baseball, that's fine.

      Ironically I actually built self-discipline when I was in JROTC but because I was the one who kept asking him to do it he never seemed to care until one day he started saying that HE was the one who made me join it.

      As far as sports go I think baseball was great, socially and physically. If I could go back I'd want to stick with that a bit longer, and I would have loved to go to an actual martial arts place like boxing or kickboxing, or BJJ. If I could have started light sparring in middle school or high school I think I'd have a better sense of self-esteem now. And I wish I'd have started running sooner. I recently started running and it's been good.

      I wish I never got on the Internet or video games as much as I did though. Really messed me up, especially academically. I probably could have gotten into a way better college if not for my problem being on the computer all the time.

    I told her it feels like projecting after a bit in the phone and she wouldn’t stop, reiterated that I’m not fricking other b***hes and just focusing on my life and said “you might be doing that but I’m not.” She started asking me shit like if I value a relationship or a good person, and then asked if I think she’s a good person. And my honest answer was “I don’t know.”
    She started asking why I wanna be with her if that’s the case and honestly I can’t blame her for asking that. Why would I? Be it my own anxiety or my gut, I have no room for people who make me feel taht I can’t trust them.

      Last little while I've been going down to the little square of clubs and bars downtown in my little university city. I go alone and just kinda talk to people there. It's been good so far, meet friendly guys, haven't gone in a month though cause I got sick. Also it's colder now so I'll have to actually commit to going into the clubs and bars which is a bigger next step. Would recc though if you have such an area.

        yeah I live like 10-15 min away from a little college town with some bars. Mind scope out some places there. I'm 26 though, hope that's not too old to come off as a creep. How do you initiate conversations btw? Or do other people do it? I just don't want to end up standing awkwardly in a corner.

        Just go by yourself brother, it's a truly freeing thing when you enjoy your own company without needing other people around. And you're never gonna make any friends unless you start somewhere.

        Thank you brother. Yeah, I've recently kind of came to the same conclusion: I can't let the lack of friends/companions continue to be an excuse for foregoing the things I want to try and do.

          >How do you initiate conversations btw? Or do other people do it?
          One night I went out for the Halloween events and it was great because costumes are the instant conversation starter. Other nights I just hang out and talk to random people by saying "Hey man whatsup for you guys tonight," and most dude groups are super friendly. Usually they'll say they're out looking for girls or just having a dude night. Generally ask if they're from around here, what they do, convo flows from there. If you find a good group of bros then you can approach girls from there.

    Any Belgian ale you have on tap.

    I'm at a professional crossroads, I think it's time for a new job. Tuesday morning I have a second round interview with Company A in a similar industry that is likely to pay at least $7,000 more than the "promotion" my current job, Company B has offered me. I've already stalled a month and they want an answer by Tuesday afternoon. I think it's unwise to tip them off that I am actively looking elsewhere until I have something else on the table to use as leverage. I get along with my director, and I am conscious of what a frick you it will be to accept the position then bolt immediately after getting a job offer with Company A, but frankly if they just paid more I'd be willing to stay. There's also a remote chance one of the people I've aggressively networked with refers me for an entirely different position at unknown Company X I might like, but I have no clue if/when that might happen.

    Based off what I can gleam from Company B reviews and first stage interview, the work life balance is much better there, which would be great. I've lost 15 pounds due to the workload of peak reporting season- I've always had a slight frame so it's very easy for me to just not eat when I have a busy schedule. I had to move back in with my parents last week because my landlord wanted to occupy the unit 2 months into the lease, which I guess works in my favor if I take the new job because I'd need to move quickly, and most of my stuff is already in a storage unit.

    It would be a cross country move though, so I wonder about that. Before losing my rental unit, I lived about 4 hour drive away from most friends and family - still within the range of a weekend trip. Now I'd be a 4 hour flight away. If I move, I'll already know people in the new city, and with my 26th birthday coming up next month, the reality is a lot of my hometown friends have grown just like I have through college and our mid 20s, so the dynamic just won't be the same anyways.

      Wtf is the point. Other people want me around to keep paying taxes. I think I'm about 10 years overdue for sudoku

      I'm at a crossroads in life.

      I have an opportunity to relocate overseas, to a city I've been living in temporarily for the past year. It's a great city with plenty to do, but the problem is I have a limited social network. It makes seeing all the fun things painful, because I've got nobody to do things with.

      The offer will allow me to get by, but I'll be struggling financially. It will also involve inferior work from a technical perspective (engineer).

      The alternative is to move back in with my parents at home...at 28 I feel like this isn't the right move - I have to spread my wings at some point. But the work at home will be technically superior, for about 15% lower pay.

      People keep asking me...am I moving or going back home? I can't be honest with them and say the most appealing option for me is to resign, go travelling with 30% of the money I saved up, whilst I make a few plays in the stock market with the other 70%. If they make profit at the end of my travels...that's a sign to keep trying. If I lose it all, I'll end it. That's what I feel I truly want to do

      And it's got me feeling like I'm destined to end it. I don't have a 'why'. Wtf is the point in putting up with all the shit life throws at you when you don't have a reason to?

            what's MLBB mean?
            and yeah absolutely, I can only say how it fricks me up, in case it resonates with others after some reflection
            I know it took me years until I realized, despite supposedly not being moronic (intelligence vs wisdom, otoh)

    I miss women
    I keep dreaming about being with beautiful women like Marina Nagasawa, which is nice, but it just makes the loneliness worse when I wake up

    This is your daily reminder to never fall for this demoralisation thread

    you can choose to be happy
    you can choose to be comfy
    do not let your enemies win, the psyop is laughable

    I'm about to go through a breakup of my 4 year relationship. It's for the best but I feel like shit and lost all my appetite. Luckily I need to lose weight so I'll make heartbreak gains.

    Not a good weekend. I thought I was finally gonna get some sexual experience.

    I'm alright ig. I work all day don't even have a car so I walk work and then hit a hard workout every time I get back Soo there's a heap of cortisol right there not only that my girl is being overly emotional and I can't understand why. She cried all night up until 3 or more idk when she stopped because she went to sleep. I hate it when people are overly emotional, she won't tell me what's wrong and we've been sitting in bed not even talking to each other, like c'mon bro this is supposed to be my break. I'm probably just gonna play oblivion later or something anyways my ankles hurt so bad and that kinda has me feeling bleh

    Been sick all week and got ghosted by women online as usual. Normally I'd just lift and box to help with the constant frustration but I can't go and get others sick. Shits annoying.

      Stop meeting girls online and start meeting them in person so that when you get their number/snap/ig or whatever then they can ghost you.

    Was mired by a cute saleswoman today and we chatted for a bit. The last time I had some girl I just met so excited to talk with me was back in 2019. It’s not even like she was trying to butter me up to buy shit, since I was only buying paper and she even made a positive comment when I decided to go for a slightly cheaper one. Feels good to get these kind of reactions again after going back to the gym, she even made a small comment about my physique.
    On worse news, a few hours latter I antagonised a guy after he fricked me over. He apologised, explained it was an accident and in the end we talked it out. Still, while I didn’t curse at him or threw a punch, I feel that my atitude was unnecessarily hostile and I could have tried to solve things in a calmer way first. It just sucks how I have no balance and alternate between either acting like a doormat or becoming hostile and hateful to the point guys much bigger than me have hesitated to escalate things in the past..

    Am I in the wrong ?

    I lift 5-6 days a week and do cardio 4-5 days a week. People keep telling me it's an "unhealthy addiction", people being my co-workers, friends, people who find out about my habit etc.
    Yes I am addicted to working out because it makes me feel good and it makes sad head voice quiet.

    How the frick is it unhealthy ? Am I in the wrong working out so much ? In my mind it's better to be addicted to lifting / cardio than it is TV, Social media or boozing every weekend.

        As long as it's not majorly interfering with other important aspects of your life or health it's probably fine

        1 hour lifting a session so about 5-6 hours total.
        probably 2 - 2.5 hours cardio total per week.

        Exercise is a crucial part of life, so long as you have it balanced out with other pursuits. Do you have other interests?
        Your peers may be worried that you're not a well-rounded individual and working out is all you have to offer. Ironically, a lot of people don't exercise at all and wouldn't bat an eye if you said you did booze it up every weekend.
        Being IST is more than the physical aspect.

        I work a lot but that's only because I have a chance at something great that most people wouldn't. The salary is wild.

        Mentally I am a cripple and live in a constant state of anxiety. But if I lift heavy the critical voice goes quiet.

      I’d monitor myself for signs of overtraining. I did that once with a regimen like yours.

      Had a mental breakdown today. Snapped at my father who was just concerned. I don’t really talk to him about stuff other than job advice and work stuff. I couldn’t verbalize it all so I texted him an apology and sent a whole paragraph of all the shit that’s got me all stressed from having a job frick me over after I got the flu from it (and still sick), to falling out with my only friend who turned out to be a scum bag, to ex GF of 2 months calling me and fricking with my head, and having migraines from fasting. Explained to him that him trying to check on me is just reminding me of it all while I’m trying to take my mind off it.
      Feel like a homosexual for putting in in text but I was just way too pissed off about it all to talk. Wanted to let him know I was sorry and appreciate him caring. Never sent him a text like that.

      You recovered well

      I have a date tonight lads, wish me luck!

      Good luck!

    One white Russian please, and in half an hour a ginger tea.
    I got stood up on a date. I was surprised, I texted this girl years after we fricked once and she seemed super happy to talk. She also is married but she's a bawd and that's what I was looking for. No texts or anything, kinda sucked. I'm going through a lot right now and could've enjoyed the really rough, loud, long, dirty sex we had.
    On the plus side I checked out a cool part of town, and stumbled into a local comedy joint. Free laughs and a long walk, not a bad night.
    Going through a lot with my ex right now. Paying for more stuff than I feel comfortable because we split it and because she's family to me at this point, but I gotta stop because I'm getting resentful. I get sex out of it (when I'm nice, isn't often) but I want my own family, wife and kids, and that's not here. It really hurts to admit.
    Also, I'm trying to figure out where I belong in the world. I have 3 years of free college, with no idea where to spend it.

      Paying for ex's stuff. You have zero spine and a complete simp loser. The only time she fricks you is when she is filled with another guys cum. You should unironically have a nice day. You have it worse then me and you're too stupid realize. Kek

    My mother came to visit me after three weeks of starving myself. You may call it water fasting but for me it is an eating disorder. I told her everything. I now have to live back home and they want to help me. I'm 185cm(6'1) and weigh 72kg(158.7lbs). I really want to get down to 70 but now that they're forcing me to eat their extremely carboloaded dinners I'm not sure what will happen. I may have to turn to bulimia since they are insisting on watching me eat my entire dinner. I live in northern scandinavia so the snow might be a good place to throw up in. Idk, it feels like my weight loss journey ends here

      Seriously kys. Nobody cares all disorders are just cry's for attention. You are weak and will always be weak.
