Fapped again, didn't last a week

Same. Even since she blocked me everywhere I've been fantasizing about ending it. It's aready beena whole fucking year of my life wasted waiting just to talk to her.
Some weeks I fap every day and get depressed about everything. I stop working out or get lazy at work.
I feel that life ain't worth it if you don't have a person to love.

Do you imagine her taking other dicks in her mouth? Asking for a friend

Get drunk and restart tomorrow.

Oneitis is one hell of a mental illness. Good luck getting over it.

Incels even have a better mindset than this. Talk about pathetic damn.

>they live meaningless lives
Name a meaningful way of life and why it qualifies as such.

>>always tired, can't sleep
sounds like sleep apnea to me. You're not getting enough oxygen when you sleep, for some reason.
Get a wedge pillow and some other pillows and start sleeping more upright in bed. arrange pillows in such a way so that you can sleep comfortably on your back.

>Take a fucking risk.
This. If you fail, find a reason why you failed. Then, avoid make the same mistake or try a new way. Never stop improving yourself.

You have to find out yourself. There is no such as same meaningful way of life for everyone. Some people's way of meaningful life is to help others, to travel the world, to raise children, etc. You have to work hard to find that meaningful life for yourself because there is no one understand you better than yourself.

>I doubt treating this one symptom of my massive lifestyle and mental health issue will help.
I never said it would. But you're going to have to start somewhere. Try tackling all of them at once and see what happens.
>benefits everyone claims to get from nofap are a case of correlation being mistaken for causation.
Most are, undoubtedly.
A few ones which would benefit you are very real though, ESPECIALLY when it comes to willpower and energy.

>You understand nothing about how humans work.
No? I'm curious how you could come to such a conclusion based on a few posts.
Nothing I've said stands in conflict with Freud or Jung if you are of their school.

last part meant for

Because you can't really change yourself from the outside, imposing habits on yourself and other meme self discipline bullshit. The only real and lasting change comes from inside

>neo-capitalist apologist
It's not that complicated. It's more that these types are trapped in the materialist mindset in which the only way to fulfill any desire is through strict material means (house, wife and children, financially rewarding career). This mindset unfortunately has become the norm in the west as strict empirical scientism has become the latest and most widespread fad to the layperson (who is most likely not even aware of other perspectives).

So the qualification of meaningful exists on a continuum; meaning that it doesn't exist as a thing at all. That isn't very meaningful.

Take a risk doing what, user? Most of the risks I'd like to take require money.

I'll consider it, but it's probably just a generic sleep cycle problem. I naturally want to sleep from 5 to 13 and have to take melatonin to fall asleep at a reasonable hour.

What is your definition of meaningful life, then? It seems to me that you want it to be negative no matter what. If I give you a solid evidence, you will somehow turn it into negative. Most 'way of life' is abstract. It is entirely up to you whether you will despair or find a way to be happy.

>trapped in the materialist mindset
Do you have some sort of alternative that doesn't involve self-delusion?

>Because you can't really change yourself from the outside
Read my first post You can't just start off by recommending depth psychology or advanced mental transmutation, it has to be tangible to a degree.
Nofap is perfect in this regard.

Close your eyes and imagine this: you're a decrepit, old man. Your eyes have gone to shit, you can barely move, and everything aches and rots. All you have is memories of an unremarkable, unfulfilling life of self-loathing to look back on. You have an accident; maybe a fall in the tub or a heart attack. You get put in some state hospital with the rest of the nobody old folks who have no one coming to see them. The nurses and doctors say the disinterested platitudes they say to everyone, turn you into a pincushion of needles and tubes, and then move on with their own lives . You're left in a bed, left to your own thoughts.

This is when you begin to understand: The End is coming. It's that massive black, bubbling wall that's been steadily advancing towards you on the corridor that is your life. It's now two inches away from your face; too close to ignore anymore. It's so unimaginably ugly and terrifying up close; you distantly realize this is why you never an hero'd in your youth. Every horror monster trope, anxiety attack, fear or feeling of unease you've ever witnessed is just a watered down metaphor for The End. And it's finally come for you.

Now you're in a blind, animal panic. You desperately claw at the edges of your sanity, trying to find some way to escape. It's not your time. This can't be all that there is. You didn't even get to live; only exist in a haze. You were supposed to be someone. There was supposed to be more. You'll plead and beg for somebody, anybody to help you. You'll regress back to infancy and cry for your mom. But she's been gone for years, and couldn't help you even if she was alive. You might even try to convince yourself of an afterlife or a God. But every time you try to believe, you feel that cold, indifferent nothingness swallowing you. Starting at your feet and traveling up your legs.

Open your eyes. You're suddenly young again, back in the present. You have time now.

So how are you supposed to change from the inside, then?

Meaningful != happiness or despair. This are irrelevant unless you define meaningful as such. I don't mean to sound negative I'm just trying to be concise.

Here is a quick rundown on the history of metaphysics for the layperson
philosophybasics.com/branch_metaphysics.html
I'll answer your question with a question. Do you consider what you perceive to be the same as what is actually there in front of you? The encoded sensory data you receive through your eyes, does that perfectly match that which the sensory data supposedly originated from (the object you are looking at)? If your perceiving of such a thing does not perfectly and most truly represent the thing itself, then how can you be so sure that such a thing even exists as you see it? Perception is an odd thing, so assuming what comes into your mind is an image of material is quite presumptuous.

You're trying to make me feel a sense of urgency, to get me to start working on all the things I need to do in order to enjoy whatever is left of my life. While the attempt is appreciated, it's also pointless. I already feel like my life is running out, all the time. It's not helping.

Okay, I'll bite. What does map-territory confusion have to do with my "materialist" mindset?

I'm only assuming you are a materialist. If you are, I don't understand how you assume what you see and feel are the causal result of existing material when such material is no where to be found. Seems like a baseless assumption.

Somebody has a story

>the materialist mindset in which the only way to fulfill any desire is through strict material means (house, wife and children, financially rewarding career)
You seem to be confusing philosophical and economic materialism.

I have been talking about philosophical materialism since the beginning. Can you tell me how I am supposedly confused?

Well, maybe I'm confused. You're saying that this "materialism" is the belief that that the only way to fulfill my desires is through material means, a category that apparently includes people? Is that right?
If so, why are you then saying that this is an unfortunate mindset and a fad? What the fuck else would you want me to fulfill my desires through? Dreams? Psychotic episodes?

Damn. One thing though; why can't he believe in God? Jesus teaches that even if a man repents on his deathbed, he will be saved.

Sorry, I haven't taken nearly enough drugs to believe in God. Maybe they'll give me some of the good shit once I'm about to die, though.

I'm just guessing from his outlook and posts that he's either agnostic or atheistic.

Plus the whole deathbed repentance doesn't have the real substance that Christianity can provide and he needs (from any source): the template to live a righteous, balanced life.

Try and think of this in the least edgy way possible (as that is the sort of person you might hear this from), but people are just as much material as anything else (within the materialist metaphysical perspective). Why wouldn't a proper materialist see them as anything else?

I just think such a perspective is built on baseless assumptions as I've explained in my other posts in this thread. It's unfortunate that desires supposedly exist in the first place. Making these desires and their fulfillment dependent upon material means is even more unfortunate. Personally, I think your desires ought to be fulfilled in themselves. What I mean by that is--any desire you have ought to solve itself independent of all other stimuli. At this point you can be considered "enlightened" or whatever romantic idea you want to attach to it. You ought to strive towards contentment independent of all else, this would be true freedom, though I'm doubtful such a state can be reached as we are now.

I looked into meditation and enlightenment a while ago. Most people claiming to be enlightened do not report feeling content at all times. Or at all - profound dissatisfaction with yourself and the state of the world is apparently a core part of Buddhism.
They do, however, report symptoms like recurring manic-depressive cycles and belief in supernatural powers, despite being otherwise quite rational. I'd rather not chance breaking my own mind like that.

>any desire you have ought to solve itself independent of all other stimuli
That just sounds like delusion.

who is it?

That's Felix Baumgartner, pictured jumping from the Taipei 101 in OP pic.

Don't discard the ideas (whatever they are, seems unrelated to what I was taking about as I never mentioned meditation and implied negativity around the idea of enlightenment) because some random retards (supposedly) make them look bad.

Is it not plausible for one to desire to fulfill ones desire within ones own desires? I don't see any delusion, makes logical sense to me.

Dissatisfaction with yourself is the complete opposite core Buddhism. The entire goal of enlightenment is to dismiss suffering and accept satisfaction of everything, done by losing a sense of “self” at all.

Quit spewing that malarkey.

I see a lot of descriptions of a shitty, unfulfilling life—but what does a fulfilling life look like?

Most “dream careers” involve a lot of schooling and then a 9 to 5 grind of tedious work. If your idea of a fulfilling life is skipping that and doing fun stuff every day, good luck doing that without the aforementioned careers.

Fulfilling or nonfulfilling, life is full of countless hours of miserable, tedious busywork.

You can only get away with this if you have no responsibility. Get some responsibilities.

A rich person could’ve made this thread, and/or feel just like he does.

This is how you sound, this is how our generation sounds.

Hard times build strong men
Strong men build good times
Good times build weak men
Weak men build hard times.

We are at the last line and the cycle will repeat. Are you going to join the strong or die weak?

No problem bro

Ask your little inner voice who you are and what you need to justify the suffering you want like staying fit/doing other things. It doesn't matter how trivial or seemingly small. ASK and LISTEN to what it tells you. Do you need a special coffee or some weekend cheat meal? Then give yourself that, and enjoy it. Being the tyrant of your soul will only crush it instead of nurturing it into greatness.

Thank you, user.

Not to mention death bed penance probably doesn’t even cut it enough to get into heaven. Just because some dude said you’re set doesn’t mean the big man sees eye to eye, if I know anything about the bible, its that you don’t get to cheat god.
