Are you moving forward Jow Forums?

Are you moving forward Jow Forums?
How different a person are you from a few months/years back?
I'm trying to distance myself from my past self, all the bad shit I've done, all the weird shit I've done, I've stopped masturbating to porn to try and get rid of my fetishes, and I've started talking to girls more
Hopefully one day I can forget about my past self and move on and I hope you can too

Bump

I really improved in the last 2 years or so. I went from being a medicare C student to a straight A student. I used to not be able to make eye contact with people, and now I am very lively around other people. It's also been 2 weeks since I looked at porn.

I've improved a lot myself this year.
Used to be a shut-in neet etc, no goals or hobbies. And now looking back i don't even recognize the person i was in the past, i see the old me as a complete stranger, in which i have nothing in common with nor the desire to approach.

user I strive to be like you
Tommorow I will leave my past self behind and become the best person I can be

>lost 20+ lbs in the last year

>spend less time on shitty mobile games, and video games in general

>spend almost no time on Jow Forums anymore, compared to when I was a NEET and would be here 16 hours a day

>also mostly stopped porn, but I do to look at some titties every now and then

>quit cigarettes and cut back energy drinks from like 2-3 a day to maybe one every couple of days.

and for me, most importantly

>stopped getting into internet arguments.

Nothing feels worse than being mad at words on a screen and furiously jamming your fingers into your keyboard to put your own words on the screen - even if you're right and you win the argument you still come out of it feeling like shit.

I don’t use recreational drugs anymore, including nicotine and alcohol.
I don’t hang out with degenerates anymore.
My finances are coming together nicely.
I have a life plan that is clear but also flexible.
I don’t see the state for psychiatric help anymore - everything is private and personalized now.
I have a license now.
I no longer have panic attacks or depresssed days where I do nothing.
I’ve started meeting my monthly diet goals, and I’m going to start strength training as soon as I hit my target weight.
I have mostly been a positive influence on my friends and family, which is different from how I used to be.

I feel stuck bros.

I tried improving myself, only to become seemingly emotionless and bored.
Im 22 and I dont know if I will ever truly fall in love.
Next year maybe.

Life is moving forward whether I like it or not. I’m improving in some areas and fucking up in others. Ive made some mistakes and got into some trouble recently but I look at it as a learning experience.

Im a bit upset that life isnt moving as fast as I wanted it to be but, sometimes you just gotta wait it out.

I got far away from all the negativity and bullshit of old. I took a chance and I moved states away from people and places that made me miserable, I got a job and do my best, I found a career, and I'm doing what I can

I'd like to think so. Before, dating apps or leaving the house was a pipe dream for me. Now, I'm trying to put myself out there, and hopefully find a GF. I'm still learning though, I'm oblivious to the signs and the art of the tinder/OkCupid is too much for my baboon mind and my style and bod could use some work but, I'm glad I made even a small amount of progress

currently trying to heal for childhood sexual abuse that i didn't realize before was the reason for a lot of my trust issues and emotional problems, just didn't make the connection

5 years ago i was failing high school and suicide baiting every day, now i'm stable and off medication though and i'm getting straight A's at university, and i'm in a loving relationship with my boyfriend now, so that's good

just trying to take it one day at a time with my sometimes extreme anxiety

thank u user

In stumbling steps, I feel like I am improving. I'm turning my dreams into reality very slowly.
pros:
>reading more
>socially functional (leading a uni club, doing well with grades)
>making progress with second language
>applying for a Big job that would get me out of the country
>giving up being dishonest
>briefly kind of dated a woman
cons:
>depressive episodes are still pretty rough + general depressive mood
>probably schizoid personality
>all my old friends have their own lives now; have made no new friends
>drinking a lot more now

Started grad school and feel like my entire life has went downhill, hated everything and myself, even losing my girlfriend of 2 years who was the only person keeping me together.

When you're at the bottom there is only up, so I can hope I can make some big changes and start becoming who I want to be.

pros
>lost 10 lbs
>became closer with immediate friends and friend groups
>creativity slightly lessened but intelligence and thinking has overall improved
>have general goals i can look forward to and am mostly excited to do so
>gained more muscle
>gained more comfort socially and a sense of myself
>know also what is wrong with myself and have ideas about improving these problems and a vision of what i want to be
>less video games, more reading, music

cons
>slightly behind other peers academically, socially, financially, still lack many experiences and have probably slacked comparatively
>zero advancement towards relationships with women, if anything dislike women more
>worried about increasing the desensitization of myself and the fall of my creativity
>hair has thinned but hairline has not moved back, dunno
>more negative about most people and generally feel more isolated from others the further i progress in the ways that i wish
>bad porn habit has grown and needs to be kicked but is difficult for me because i have not felt love since i was a kid

Why would a girl who doesn't love you anymore kiss you goodbye and say "i love you"?

Guilt? Closure? A last attempt at confirming their feelings and realizing they actually don't?

Whoops, wrong thread.

I've stopped masturbating and started living a healthier live because I can't get it up anymore.

Not tomorrow. RIGHT NOW. tomorrow never comes.

How? / Tips to do same

>Wojakposter
>Ever moving forward

You come back crashing down, lmao

not really. i was never the standard Jow Forums weirdo (staying in all day to play league and jack it to scat etc.) and have always had a real life social circle with hobbies and outside activities. not really attractive enough (shit face) for romance, though i had a gf for about 6 months a couple of years ago

professionally i quit my job to create a startup, which isnt progressing as fast as id like due to the my cofounders being overly cautious (which has left me hanging out in the wind). i got a well earned reputation as a drunk which has only gotten worse through 2018 as the various goals ive tried to achieve have all floundered, mostly around women. on paper im way ahead of where i should be for my age, but thats not really any consolation

ultimately, despite my efforts to improve it my life is becoming more boring, which pushes me to self destructive behaviours (reaching more for the bottle, getting into fights with bouncers twice my size, general lecherousness) which further retards my attempts to get things back on trick. im in a very slow tailspin like a little nugget of shit swirling down a massive toilet. i feel that this is how most people experience their mid 20s though, when they find out they arent so special and wont be wildly rich, famous or successful. holding on for now but gradually drifting away

OOOOOOF
