So Jow Forums, what steps are you taking towards self improvement?

>being this much of a defeatist faggot
that's just sad man

Finally a new brudda

Unless you have porn addiction, nofap is entirely placebo. Btw I hope this isn't one of those "I'm getting motivated for 1 week and then I'll just get burnt out again" episodes.

Just be aware of the bullshit, people.

people who do self help can function in society without it you fucking idiot

nofap heightens testosterone for the first week then it dips, wanking once a week without porn is ideal

Pretty true senpai

much learning in all diffrent categories of usefull knowledge
leaving my house and try to be social
exercises at home, to stay in shape

im not a defeatist, instead of doing meme-self help shit i do drugs, masturbate and go to the gym.
shit proven to provide satisfaction.
i indulge in whatever derives pleasure.

>abstaining from masturbation
lmao what are you a fucking monk?

gym -> self improvement isn't it.

pushing yourself to be more social is stupid, if you like the people you like to be with them, so then you are 'social' naturally

I have 2 groups of friends with whom Im naturally social and meeting them is more of a relief rather than a burden

If you are 'pushing yourself' to be social and it feels like a chore then you are spending your time with people you dont like, which is a waste of time

god damn, listen to your gut sometimes, it exists for a reason

>indulge in whatever derives pleasure
So you're basically a roastie, then.

no, i am laveyan satanist minus the fedora edge

>shit proven to provide satisfaction.
like how mediation increases serotonin and dopamine production, whereas drugs lower the amount you produce don't they so they cost more and you become dependant, great choice mate

No it's not some people just have insecurities and fears, leading them to hide at home. Overcoming this can be a huge improvement for them.

>minus the fedora edge
But laveyan satanism is just hedonism without the fedora edge.
So you ARE basically a roastie.

Okay sure. There's that vague study that states your testosterone goes up 40% or some shit. Whatever. Let's assume that's all true.

Do you really think that nofap is going to improve your life? Nope. None of this self help shit will. If you're horny, go fap. If your life is in the gutter, which I assume is the case for most people on this board, then the only way to get actual self help is to cut the bullshit and fix the stuff that's obviously wrong in your life.

Depressed? See a therapist.
No job? Get a job.
Didn't go to college? Go to college.
Feel lost? Ask someone for help.

I've been on this board for a while, and sometimes it's still hard to understand what's a joke and what isn't.

T. I did nofap for 8 months because I had pseudo-addiction and also because I'm a dumbass.
T. I did nofap for 8 months and went fucking insane.

I don't think nofap will improve my life, it'll lead to more test and helps me stop watching porn

>it'll lead to more test

I'm not sure if you understand what testosterone is and why you even care in the first place.

helps with putting on muscle mass (among other things)

research on meditation doesnt even come to the conclusion that is truly beneficial.

my heorin addiction barely costs anything and i get by with no problem.

yeah.... good luck getting the same high meditating you fucking idiot.

abstaining from ejaculation leads to higher testosterone?

even if there was a marginal increase it wouldnt affect muscle gain you fucking mong.

nice bro science you fucking idiot.

>my heorin addiction barely costs anything and i get by with no problem.
>dying young isn't a problem

>good luck getting the same high meditating you fucking idiot.
stop moving the goal posts at first you said it's about satisfaction now it's about getting high

your life cannot improve. you are a loser and you were destined to be a loser.
abstaining from ejaculation will only get you from being a virgin to a sexually frustrated virgin lmao

I'm not a virgin and my life has already improved

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_on_meditation

just fucking lol at your low IQ

>wikipedia is better than several well documented studies
the heroins rotting your brain mate

so you were NEET and now work at mcdonalds thanks to no fap, congrats you subhuman

look at the references listed in wikipedia, stupid low IQ nigger.

if meditating is so beneficial why are you still a subhuman?

what did I say that upset you this much

>junkie calling others subhuman

Bruh, if you need a testosterone boost from nofap to perform better at the gym (and this shit is all probably bogus bro science anyway), then you need to fix some actual fundamental things in your life.

>been working on my confidence
>starting talking to people more confidently more, smiling more, greeting people in a friendly manner
>been asking girls out on dates soon after meeting them and not taking it personally when they reject me
>saving up so I can buy a car real soon
>starting drinking a ton of more water (which has multiple benefits for me, including making my hair grow out faster and removing most of my dandruff)
>reading more, particularly self-help books
>started cooking

I plan on going to the gym after I buy a car, so that's gonna be nice.

nothing wrong with being a junkie, ive experienced everything you haven't in life.
i've experienced utter bliss, the most bliss youve experienced is ejaculating into a tissue lol

nah lad I've taken drugs, I just don't need them to be happy

Gonna have to side with this guy desu
Instead of meditating and exercising on a regular basis for a possible slight increase, it's much easier to just pop a pill whenever you need it and get 10x the amount of dope.
As long as you use responsibly it's not a huge deal, I don't want to live till 90+ anyway.

personally i will never be happy if i have this self improvement mindset. I will always feel like theres something wrong with me like i fap too much or i feel bad because i didnt read today etc. Instead i just accepted myself and all my flaws, doesnt mean i stop taking care of myself tho

>T. Crab in a bucket
NoFap is a meme tho

Trying to build up the balls to end myself, it's not going too well since I am a lazy shit.

Things are going quite great. I had a coworker whistle at me in a flirtatious manner on my way out yesterday, I was dressed the way I normally do, and damn I'm a sexy mother fucker

Put your trip back on, Johnny.

Eating less calories. Moving more. I'm only losing half a pound a week since I am not very strict. I don't have the means to leave the house. No driver's licence and my parent is at work all the time. Mentally I'm not progressing either.

calendar/daily routines, eat clean, move more, specific long term goals

I have joined the army. It is partially a meme but it helped me with my speaking problem and made me a little bit more fit
