Why did Jow Forums lie to me?
You're depressed because you're always comparing yourself with other people.
Checked. This is true user. Happiness comes from within. You are your only competitor. I hope you find this out.
How am I comparing myself to other people?
Absolutely true, and this is universal. Comparison is the thief of joy. OP, I guarantee if you were alone for a couple months with no stimulus from the outside world you would discover how easy it actually is to be content. Of course this is pretty hard to accomplish when you're bombarded with images and implicit judgment 24/7. I recommend a week in the woods with no internet to help reset your mind and help you discover those priorities which are inner-driven.
Or a potential chemical/nutritional imbalance caused by oxidative stress/environment/genetics.
I already did that. I was a hikki for 7 years, and I spent a month in another city with no internet trying to self improve and be social. It didn't do anything. Keep in mind I'm 31, and nobody wanted to be my friend in the pre-internet era.
When I started lifting I shaped up my diet. Mostly lean protein with minimal carbs. Lots of vitamin supps too.
not having friends is seriously great. the best thing though is a qt gf to wake up to and hold to sleep. i miss those days :-/
Do you still watch and masturbate to online pornography?
Same except i didnt have a job but went to uni.
I traveled to asia and unironically snuggled a super qt nihon girl.
Western women are humorless creatures
>dopamine bad
>drugs bad
Fuck off you actual baby boomer.
YOU don't even have a girlfriend yet AND you feel like shit every day, WHILE all those normies who are unironically dumber than a bag of rocks ARE CONTENT to suck on the teet of the (((governing authority))) while working towards their own destruction.
Fuck off shill. I already payed thousands of dollars doing TMS therapy and Ketamine infusion. Things that are supposed to be magic bullets for treatment resistant depression. Didn't do shit. And fuck you again for trying to blame the victim instead of my friendless environment.
It's your choice to indulge, but everybody has the right to be informed of what the science says.
i am so glad i have been single all these years... allowed me to have more money to invest in crypto.
in a year or two i can retire and find bitches with my new wealth
Her body was so warm and soft and smelled nice and I do quite miss the companionship and being able to hold each other on those cold winter nights.
If you don't want to read, learn, and admit that perhaps you haven't exhausted all possibilities then you are contributing to your own problem.
Work on that charisma, too.
>just pay $5000 for more bogus homeopathy :^)
Yeah,no.
>dopamine crqving from sex looks like dopamine graving from drugs
No fucking shit sherlock. What are you trying to tell me?
i don't see any mention of getting filthy rich with internet meme monies there, user
you DID buy the bottom, didn't you?
Tried to help, later.
That you have a porn addiction.
Basically OP, smoke meth in moderation
Problem solved
Smells like addict COPE
What if I have an addiction to the internet in general based on this image
Yep, you've hit the nail on the head. Somewhere along the revolution of the Internet, we lost sight of ourselves. Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows noticed that even he himself a renowned author had a difficult time sitting still and reading a book. Good news is that the brain is malleable and with time and discipline, you can restore your brain back to equilibrium.
The reason why pornography and masturbation are so potent is that they hit at the core limbic system of our brain. Hence the addiction is that much more powerful and a detriment to our well-being. Research: yourbrainonporn.com
Looks like you haven't done any serious self reflecting at all. If people don't want to be your friends the problem is you. Tough luck.
What am I supposed to self reflect on? I was being myself and it wasn't working.
Addiction is a symptom not a cause. If people had girlfriends they obviously wouldn't need to look at porn.
Here's a nicely produced video that sums it up:

>Addiction is a symptom not a cause. If people had girlfriends they obviously wouldn't need to look at porn.
Friend. Nobody is entitled to a girlfriend. Just because you lack X doesn't justify an addiction. You've never made a definitive statement that you broke free from your porn and masturbation addiction. If anything, you're making excuses for it. Just because you spent some time in the woods with no internet doesn't mean you're magically porn-free. Are you addicted to pornography? See this and cross-check yourself for the four C's.
Here's an informative educational video backed up by scientific and academic research that proves the harmful effects of porn and masturbation addiction:

Remember, the first step towards recovery is admitting you are addicted.
I'll be ur friend user
I've already done nofap, it just makes me feel incredibly horny all the time and frustrated at the fact I don't have a girlfriend.
You fell into the trap. You are still the same unsuccessful person inside, you have just changed the superficial stuff about your appearance and your belongings. The answer is in you, not in what you look like, not what your possessions are.
>very difficult to get back into old hobbies, feels like I never liked anything in my life
You're finally growing up, this is a good thing, not a bad thing. Fuck 'hobbies', put that energy into yourself. Don't get caught in the bullshit numbers game of how you need to be X height and have Y income and Z car
OK, so what am I supposed to put into myself?
This isn't NoFap. NoFap is a bunch of psuedoscience bro-science. These are real scientific studies pointing out the harmful effects of online porn addiction.

Become a person worth knowing. Most people are just egos these days, they are hollow, there is nothing inside of them. This is why they are so materialistic... it's their only means of comparing themselves to one another. If you are hollow inside, if most other people around you are hollow inside, then the only way to differentiate one another is by having a more expensive car, or a hotter girlfriend, or a better job.
Do good things for others and expect nothing in return. When you see something bad happening, do something about it, even though there's nothing you're going to get out of it. When you can do that, you will have something real inside of you.
Don't take advice from stupid narcissists on the internet, especially about how to feel about yourself.
except women and normies love narcissists
I was always a person of my conviction. It was wasn't attractive to people. And I already volunteered and helped people, it didn't do anything.
Hollow ones, maybe. Not everyone is like that though. But if you've been demoralized by all the 'blackpill' shit you find on the internet, then it's easy to have your perspective about the world skewed.
There are good women out there, but they're not easy to find. You aren't going to find them on Tinder. You might not even find them on Facebook. Not every woman is some disgusting slut who spent her 20's in clubs and bars, there are women with souls out there.
You have tried volunteering at the local homeless shelter?
Are you fit tho?
I just said I did volunteering. I hated it. I felt like a literal retard doing it everyday.
My bad, for some reason I thought that was another post. Have you tried reading the Bible?
I put on 20 pounds of lean muscle mass while maintaining a 13% body fat ratio.
Lol this old tale.
Spoiler: comparing yourself to other people is part of the human condition. Telling people not to do that you might as well just tell a person to stop breathing.
OP needs pussy, friends, and some alcohol
>swaps out one retarded idea with an even more retarded one
Stop peddling your bullshit in my thread.
>OP needs pussy, friends, and some alcohol
This except I don't drink. Pussy and friends seem impossible to attain for me though.
Why not, you're pretty much out of options by this point.
>Pussy and friends seem impossible to attain for me though.
Good news is that Jesus Christ is not impossible to attain. He offers you a free gift of salvation.
Yeah, because it worked so well for you that you're no longer posting on Jow Forums with the rest of the depressed losers. Oh wait...
So you ugly then?
Too bad acting like a normal human being is liable to get you imprisoned these days.
Oh well. At least we should thank the Boomers for inventing sex in the 1960s.
Well drink then! It will help with the other 2 issues!
Whoever said I only posted on Jow Forums?
That and I'm 5'4.
Well fug. Move to Asia or some such? I think that's common advice on internets for shorter gentlemen.
I'm sorry user, see what you can do about improving your looks. You need to adopt an alpha personality that commands everyone's attention with your presence.
I can't really improve my looks without entering surgery at this point. And you can't fake an alpha personality, everyone can see through you and makes them like you even less for being inauthentic.
lil short nigga bet you cant even ride the lil kiddie rollercoaster bitch nigga. fuck the bumper cars too nigga, only thing you can ride is the kiddy swings fuckboy.
wheres my gold coins you lil leprechaun ass bitch
>not having friends is seriously great
how so
Idk man. The truth is your personality probably just stinks. If you're fun to be around people will gravitate towards you. Maybe try some mdma.
I'm just being myself though.
>Nobody is entitled to a girlfriend.
Or try reading the Bible.
Not really. Take on leadership roles. Firefighter, police, military or coast guard, or become a missionary that helps the true underserved. People that matter will look up to you.
>personality probably just stinks
aka, people have nothing to gain from associating with him
>Firefighter, police, military or coast guard, or become a missionary
I'm not low IQ.
This also nice digits. Op’s problem is inside his head unless he is deformed somehow. Im skinnyfat manlet neet and even I have a qt3.14 gf.
>It's just inside your head that no one wants to talk to you!
What did he mean by this?
Being alone in the woods is qualitatively different than being "alone" in your room in the city. Trust me, it's a huge shift in mental functioning.
get a bf
But you are butt fucking ugly. Can't have the world without some sacrifices user.
aka, "hell is other people"
Aside from the fact I have no interest in that shit, you do understand I'm 31 right?
I don't know user, so far your constant self berrating/pity attitude makes you come across as an insufferable faggot. Maybe you need to get past that first, I don't know. Good luck though, I really hope you come through!
Where am I asking for pity? Thanks for nothing though.
Jesus Christ loves you for you who are. I know it's hard to comprehend, but He knows every hair on your head and much more. There is real power in the Word of God. Read the Bible and see what God has for you in store.
>Where am I asking for pity?
>Thanks for nothing though.
jej
>If I just keep spamming his thread, maybe he'll suddenly convert :^)
Looks like being a christian turns you into a retard with no self awareness.
I'm not asking you to convert, I'm asking give Jesus Christ a chance.
By the way, you're still posting here, so I will keep reaching out to you in response.
Your personality is shit.
>waaaa why did pursuing goals others set for me leave me feeling empty waaaaa
Maybe think for yourself instead of listening to the fags here? You really think there aren’t happy people who haven’t done a single thing you mentioned? There are, because they live on their own terms.
piss off wanker
what the fuck. this isn't Jow Forums. go post your blog feels over there.
>after crypto is dying, Jow Forums goes from Jow Forums cryptogeneral to Jow Forums-lite
Fuck this gay board there’s literally nothing here about finance or business. Also, if you’re so “depressed”, what motivated you to make a thread? It took thought and effort. It’s almost like you’ve spent nearly a decade getting your dopamine fix from feelings sorry for yourself on the internet and pursuing superficial “self-improvement” instead of actually making efforts to be better.
become like a kid. start a second childhood of sorts. pick up a musical instrument with no judging or bullying yourself for being not a virtuoso at first. and you still have your adult self to do the parenting this time around. the kid will die when you become great at the instrument and you will have blossomed into the person you want to be. as if you haad a perfect childhood. you are your mom and dad this time around, my son.
Are you that weirdo Malaysian dude? Asking for Jesus
If you are depressed, take anti depressants
being an addict is misunderstood. its about beating the neurochemical factory into submission daily. about choosing EXACTLY how you want to feel at any moment you choose. stims will make motivation an irrevelent issue. you have a bottle of magic motivation pills. and any addict worth his salt is MASTER of his habit. you underestimate how good some smarter addicts are at managing this shit. its like ocd autist science to them. to be perfectly titrated, dosed and measured down to the mnute, down to the .001 of a gram using scientificly percise measuring instruments. i put myself against any pther peer in my feild at my work and my addiction allows me to hypercompete and go above and beyond what nodrugs copefags can go. sorry english fifth language you pasty cousin fucking bastards

user just don't bother with caring about how normies act and figure out what you actually enjoy yourself. The person you're stuck with for your entire life is you, so you better figure that shit out
I'm opposite

Being a NEET is living on my own terms. But it didn't win me friends or a GF.
How is it superficial? What else could I possibly be doing?
Fucking hell dude. Your self loathing is cringe af.
This site has turned to such dog shit.
