How are you holding up, Jow Forums?

Do what your heart desires

Doing okay still pretty fat, but I'm working on it. Started SL a couple months back, my problem being I have to find a new place to live in about a month or so, I currently live with shitty roommates near a university. I moved with them on a whim, seeing as I needed a place to stay new to the state.

its funny part of why i like my shit job at my hospital is because of the bits of drama that occur. we recently had an exodus of staff that was pretty much all the shit ones we wanted gone anyway (they weren't good, or were whiners, etc) and i kept saying it was a good swamp draining that we needed

Forgot to add favorite compound is also squats.

Living/roommate troubles can always be a bitch. Gotta remember that not all roommates are shitty so odds are if you lift with some other randos they’ll be cool enough

Lost 120 pounds with 50 more to go. Told myself I won't even consider relationships until hitting goal weight. I keep grinding at this and even though I've come this far it feels like I have so much more to do. I see more women smile at me lately. I don't know how to process it because I basically spent the last ten or so years in a giant fat fuck body. Also just finished my 341 bankruptcy meeting today. My credit score will be garbage but now I can actually save money. Women aren't attracted to poor fucks though so I don't think I'll ever win out in life.

I just like to deadlift. Don't care if it's compound or not. I feel alive as all hell when I try to beat my previous lift.

Also, favorite compound is usually deadlift for me

Especially when I get dat dere DL high

I work at Papa John's, and most of the drama is either from the customers or new people not doing what they are told to do.

My girlfriend broke up with me 4 weeks ago. We didn't speak for a week, but we started texting again after a week. I miss her. A lot. But I can't be that guy who asks to fix things - who goes back begging.

I also know she won't be that girl either. She always felt she had to fight for my attention until she couldn't anymore. No way she initiates.

I can't figure out what to do - and I feel like I'm going to regret my paralysis in a year. I don't need advice, just wanted to vent.

OHP is my favorite compound. I'm worried about my deadlift whoever - my diddly is stuck at 2pl8 and my squat is already higher than that.

I’m not crazy into this girl or anything but it was the most relationship-esque thing i’ve experienced in years and it was kinda nice

Thanks bro

Bench press

Trying to cut.... replacing my carbs for veggies.

But the veggies give me gas, bloating, and diarrhea

Just tell her you'll always be there for here when she wants to talk.

Even though you wont.

She will say thanks. Y-you too.

And then let her soak it in.

This will let her know you are ready to talk. Ready to listen.

user, why did yall break up. I'm here for you

Buy some stuff, and turn it around and sell it.

Look at free stuff, but it repair it. Sell it.

What helped me is making bitches laugh. I improv most of my material. I make up stories.

Her : oh i like to hike
You: hiking is great. Until you get lost and your chocolate protein bar starts to melt in your pocket. And attract all the bugs. Let me tell you what happen!

Same problem as this guy. Broke up with gf awhile ago. Kept talking even after I graduated and moved back home. Found out some stuff that broke my heart. Begged and pleaded for her back, to try and fix it to make it work. Couldn’t live with what I knew, everything felt so different and wrong. Came back up for graduation. She told me she still loved me and we fucked and said our final goodbyes. I know she won’t ever text me again. I know this chapter of my life and her are done. Moved to a new location and have a great job and pay... still doesn’t fill the void of being alone and knowing she was willing to move with me. I ended it and I regret it. This is my fault.

Learn about dread game, sounds like your bitch is too comfortable and takes you for granted

Nothing. If it's not too bad it will leave with time. If it's really bad it'll slowly sink in and numb, but will still be oresent

Don't listen to this dude. Don't manipulate your girl. If she isn't the one for you, find one who is

I meant this guy. Fuck.

Thanks. :)

deadlift

I was planning to move out with some of my friends but yesterday they told me they thought if I moved in with them it would put too much strain on our friendship. I've always had issues with my behavior, at times it feels like my soul is marked to be an asshole or I just have incredibly bad luck. I'm not trying to be resentful, I'm trying to be the bigger person and understand where they're coming from, but it's hard to keep going when everything you try seems to not work out, and the only thing you seem to be able to do well is nothing. I'm running a 10k in august tho so I have that to look forward to.
/blogpost

honestly the best advice in the thread. If you love her, don't fuck with her head. You already recognize the incompatability, the best you can do is try to find someone new. (If you're already set on breaking up with her)

"Manipulation" is now apparently focusing on yourself and withdrawing your attention from people who don't deserve it.

You're either a woman or a blue pilled beta faggot, good luck on your quest for "the one"

Before I started lifting I was 5'11 150lbs now I'm 174, so I don't look like a skeleton anymore, but I don't look like I have much muscle at all either. But the big problem is that ever since I gained the weight my nips became soft and puffy. Just the nips, no breast development. I went to my doctor and he confirmed no gyno, so that's somewhat relieving. If I cut down the body fat will they go away?. Because right now I always wear 2 layers no matter how hot in order to hide it, even around the house so my family doesn't see. It's a major confidence killer and just sucks. I'm just trying to keep lifting and building muscle, with emphasis on chest in hopes that a well shaped chest might help hide it. Anybody else here suffer from this?

Hey, you're on the right path. You're working hard and in good shape, people throw around shit like "oh you'll find something etc" but I think as long as you keep working on yourself people might be drawn to you. Being on the spectrum is tough though, but you gotta give yourself some credit

But that's not what that post said. The user was implying that the girl is too comfortable and must be made uncomfortable in the relationship. I said that he should find a girl that has the traits he wants already, which would make that user focus on himself and his own wants and desires.

Bros we had a guy with severe parkinsons die a week ago at my hospital. the poor guy, he was only like 68 years old, he was wheelchair confined and could only communicate via moving his fucking eyebrows and sometimes you could see he mouth turn into a bit of a frown or smile

it was horrible. i was happy he finally died.

I'm gonna be honest here you sound like a miserable cunt

Alright youngblood. If she wasn't committed to you or to the cause, then kick her to the curb.

If any women isn't willing to go above and beyond for you and your cause, then that ain't no woman. That's an immature thing.

I know it sucks. It happen to me when I was in the military. Bitch broke my heart, we stringed it along. But she was fucking a new guy every week.

Not for me. I deserve more. To this day she is still partying and ducking. Now shes this fat whale where her fat is surpass her reach to wipe her vag.

Stay strong. What helped me was swimming in the ocean. Learning to surf. Then go to groups in Meetup/com.

There you can find groups in your interests or other places you are curious.

I was in SoCal BMW car meet up. Met a mature women, we shared information on our cars and life. We boned, kept it mutual.

Chase after older woman.

send me a pic of your nips buddy.
Gotta see those nips if I'm gonna address the problem
trust me dude I'm a doctor I just have to see your nips bro
lemme get a peek at them nips

I pointed out one couple in my group of friends invites us out only so we split the costs of their expensive fantasies.

I usually approach these topics subtly but i was just straight and to the point this time.

The group chat has now been dead for over a month and the others claimed that they have not made a new one excluding me.

I didnt want it to lead to this, i just wanted to make them aware if they weren’t consciously noticing what theyre doing. Just in case they also do it with other social circles.

I dont really miss them at all.

Lately my lifts have stalled and ive been just overthinking on the bench all these situations with my closest friends and family and clearly realizing how some people treat me.

I think if its premeditated, accidental, maybe just unconscious reactions out of habit towards stranger?

It just sucks that people are so shitty.

I want to be optimistic and positive but im getting tired of these games.

She was committed to me and my cause. I just pushed her away, like the other user she would beg for my attention. Complete nutcase to, I would make her hysterically cry out of no where. We weren’t meant for each other and once I broke it off she realized that. Smart girl. Even smarter for getting me even more attached to her once I left school. I just wish I didn’t have these thoughts it my head all the time. Thank you user, I appreciate it.

Pretty good rn.

Just got back from gym.
Have not lift consistently in months, and now I can go whenever I want.

Didn't get the numbers I wanted to tonight but just glad to be back in the swing of things instead of lifting here and there.

And my gf went and ran on the treadmill so that's cool.

Thanks bro, I think so too. Maybe it's too soon to date anyway, I was dumped by my ex not even a year ago.

But I really want to at least hook up with some girls, if only for the sex and ego boost. There's this super qt Asian girl from school who'll leave at the end of the month I might hook up with, but I'm still not sure if she's interested in doing so or if she just sees me as a friend. I've gotten mixed signals so far

>Take her to dance a couple of weeks ago
>Don't really say if it's a date or not, thought it was implied
>Can't dance for shit so we take a class first (she wanted to anyway)
>When we go there she dances with me a lot but also with other people

Here it's when I think the fact that I'm a foreigner kicks in. At least where I come from, dancing with other people would be hella rude to your date (especially in this specific sort of date), and I assume it's the same in America so I guess she didn't really see this as a date and while I was completely bummed I accepted it and just took the whole activity as just hanging out with a friend. Yet on the other hand her reaction when I invited her was very much like if she was taking it as a date.

So, I don't know how to read this. I don't really think she was rude or at least trying to neg me, and even if she did, acting all bitchy about she dancing with other people would be not only autistic but completely out of place since I did not say it was a date (as I said, I took that as a given) and even then it's not like we are in a relationship or anything... I don't have the right to tell her what to do.

Am I too aspie and overthinking this or I have a good reason to wonder? Assuming she took the whole thing as a date, was she being rude/negging me under American custom? If you go dancing to some pub with your date, do Americans consider it rude/manipulative for you to start dancing with other people in this context? Honestly, I'm too old and busy for that kind of BS anyway.

Terrible to be honest bro
Gf moved away and we're never going to see each other again. Spend all day sitting at PC gaining weight while listening to music and staring at coding shit pretending like im going to learn it. I also spend time looking in the mirror and how disgusting my body is now that i've let myself go, like my arms are skinny, my legs are kinda thick from all the walking I do but my stomach is fat so my body looks really disproportionate which makes me feel like shit.

At this point I'm just slowly watching my body degrade as I slip deeper and deeper into depression.

Fav lift is bench press even though Im shit at it.

Feeling kinda weird, stopped smoking cannabis and changed my diet to a limiting 1400kcal/day to lose the very much needed 60lbs. Shit is hard. My body is addicted to food and craving for it at every given minute. Im losing motivation to go to the gym, its boring. I think I have to switch to martial art or something.

Im holding up about as good as i can business has been slow at my shop, worse comes to worse im gonna have to shut it down so thats got me stressed i got 2 bros and a friend at the gym that could get me work so i can find a job if i lose my business but still im fucking stressed out. Im so stressed im doing sit ups in my bedroom trying to tire myself out so i can go to bed

Wishing you the best of luck user

OHP or binch, I dread anything to do with legs these days.
How do you approach women at the gym without being a creep? Every scenario in my noggin seems goes wrong and I can't really justify it. The farthest I can imagine is asking her out and being called a creep to some degree.

confront him

I'm so fucking tired of being ugly.
I'm 20 and I've been hideous my entire life because of a congenital nervous defect in the nerves that supply my facial muscles, nobody has ever shown any romantic interest in me.

If someone ever does show interest in me I'll probably be so shocked that I'll push her away because I feel too fucking ugly to be loved.

I've never enjoyed my life, I was cynical and depressed from when I was a young child, I'm only still here because I'm too much of a pussy to kill myself and I feel bad for my parents.

Literally every time I look in a mirror and accidentally turn my phone camera on I get an extremely powerful urge to neck and I don't know how much longer I can keep going.

I already did, he told me to stop digging up old stuff. I honestly don't know that I wanna be his friend anymore, he always speaks ill of me when I'm not around. I've literally never done anything to him, I think he is just upset about the girl and won't blame her because he liked her.

I'm sorry dude, I'm ugly too but not for the same reasons, you've got me curious about this nervous defect though. Would you upload a pic or no?

I don't like posting photos of myself but I have facial nerve palsy, Its mainly evident on one side of my face but also exists on the other.

The neurologist doesn't know what caused it but he's certain it was congenital or developmental since I've been like this since I was a child.

Most people aren't aware that I have a deformity but they are very much aware that I'm ugly, my face droops just enough to give me a depressing expression and not very much definition, I have ptosis in one eye and my entire face is very asymmetrical.
I also have trouble with facial expressions, my smile is very lopsided.

Also to add to this,
The left side of my face actually looks pretty normal and I wouldn't call it ugly, not attractive but definitely not ugly.
The right side is a disaster, very droopy and missing definition.

The real problem is when you put them together from the front view, the difference is very striking and offputting.

You too. I really appreciate the kind words, means a lot to me. I don't really have anyone I can talk to about anything in my life that isn't going well

Good luck user. Men have zero support system in our society, and I think that is a big reason for the suicide epidemic, as well as men dropping out of society in general. Sending good vibes your way

>so lonely that i watch shitty romcom anime and read romcom manga just to imagine being with someone

At least I have a homegym now, its pretty sweet bros

I appreciate it bro, this reminds me my gym bro has been feeling really depressed lately and its been 4 days he's missed the gym i txted him yesterday he said he appreciated me checking up on him but he still missed the gym that night im gonna hit him up in the a.m make sure he's ok, me and him arent close but you are right men have zero support systems in are society i need to be there for this guy its not right to leave him hanging

Can i tell you something?, ive had this huge crush on this chick at the flee market i go to every sunday are parents are friends but ive been to shy to say anything to her. Im the kinda loser that imagines stuff in my head like oh she's probably shy too and maybe i could get her to go out with me but the last time i saw her i just froze i saw her in a totally different light she was no longer the cute little innocent shy girl i had imagined in my head, she was just like every other women in my life beautiful too beautiful to ever date a loser like me, too good for me. I havnt gone to see her at the flee market in 3 weeks because every time i see her face it just makes me sad and then furious because I'll never be with her, i wish i didn't feel this way but i do, just gotta lift the pain away

I feel you. It's stopping me from making progress in any part of my life.
Like a huge burden ...

I totally get how you feel user minus the virgin thing i lost my virginity when i was 17 and havnt had sex since. im 21 now, i feel like my life is a complete waste i work at my dads shop because he cant stay sober for more than a month and my mom has a bad back so she can't work i gotta do repair work, sales, and deliverys almost always by myself if my dad isnt sober or around, im barely making enough money to cover the bills, this month a d last month have been absolutely brutal and its putting me back into the same deep depression i was in back in January, i feel stuck like im not making any progress in my life just standing still while every one else is racing past me, i try to tell myself at least i have my family's love and respect but its hard going out there every day just for the world to kick my ass. I haven't made a sale in 3 days and this months almost over, i dont even have a fucking drivers license i barely got my id in march im fucking up i feel like no women would ever want me because of how pathetic my entire existence is, the only thing keeping me from killing myself or having a mental breakdown is god and the gym. Whatever your going through user know that you aren't alone that there is other people out there like you dealing with personal issues and i wanna say to you keep your head up and dont lose faith in your self because im trying my hardest not to

You're gonna make it

Well OP, I have been broken up with my ex for 7 months. But I did the mistake to continue seeing her after the breakup, making it harder for me to come over her. We make a deal to "not fuck others".. I still fucken 5 and just found out that she has slept with 3. All I do is thinking about the scenario.

Last Sunday we broke it off completely. Don't know why I feel the way I do, but it will get better. Just examined as a mechanical engineer, still lift and box. We will make it.

I don't fit in anywhere. Between my soul crushing job and dysfunctional home, there's almost nowhere for me. The gym used to be my escape but now not even that's enough. This past week I stopped tracking my macros and only went to the gym twice. I've spent the last two years trying to turn it all around, hoping that the emptiness and self hatred would start to go away, but it hasn't. Now my progress is starting to come undone and it's all falling apart

Deadlift followed by OHP, after deads everything up til the shoulders feels like nothing at all

You're doing it right user

Also HNNNNNNG!

Thanks buddy. I have two monitors on my computer and leave a picture up of a hnng girl on one of them every day while I work to help motivate me. She was my picture today

I just realised I inadvertently convinced a good friend to break up with her boyfriend because she had feelings for me and then I just left her hanging. I feel like I led her on and fucked with her life by accident and I'm not sure how to go about addressing this.

My favourite compound lift at the minute is fucking NONE OF THEM because I'm in snap city

Cable pullups are my favourite form of workout. Gives me a strong back, wide shoulders, beefy arms and strong grip strength.

On the feels side, my oneitis posted a picture of her and her boyfriend on social media. We had a thing going on before this so this came to me as a shock. I guess if she was willing to flirt around with me while in a relationship then she's bad news.

Jesus, why are you so cruel to her?

Gonna off myself if I don't find anything for this bloating to go away. Pretty much tired everything except the hardcore elmination diet I'm on rn and description drugs.

I didn't mean to be. She came to me telling me that she couldn't get over me and I told her that's not fair on her boyfriend and she agreed, so she broke up with him. I just couldn't date her because life got in the way, but I feel like she probably doesn't see it that way. She probably feels like I fucked up her life for no reason or as a weird bitter revenge for some imagined slight in the past.

Fuck girls like that man. If she's willing to do that to him for you, she'll probably be willing to do the same to you for somebody else.

I wouldn't be bothered if she did. She's had a crush on me for 4 years now. She's had hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities to cheat on her boyfriend with me and she never once even gave the impression she was into me until that. Their relationship had just run its course but she was too scared to leave it. She's insecure.

I'd argue that breaking up with someone you no longer love is much better than sticking in a loveless relationship and fostering a co-dependence on one another that prevents both of you from being truly happy and truly loved. But that's just me.

I don't know guys. My life was headed in a good direction 3-4 years ago until my mom suddenly got cancer and passed. Was living on my own and going to school, lifts were at their highest. Been depressed since and I've realized that I've been depressed on and off for about 15 years because my parents had a shitty relationship that tortured me emotionally. I'm getting back again but I'm just so afraid of getting knocked down again. My confidence with women is trashed because of it all and I always fuck it up with the ones who approach me, I do no approaching.

That makes a lot more sense brah. You should definitely date her just to see if anything is there, you never know.

Don't think I can. She's avoiding me. Most likely due to the whole "leading her on" thing. I already know there's something there. We've both known it this whole time. We just never acted on it.

>my parents had a shitty relationship that tortured me emotionally. I'm getting back again but I'm just so afraid of getting knocked down again. My confidence with women is trashed because of it all and I always fuck it up with the ones who approach me, I do no approaching.
Same breh. All that arguing fucked me up and contributed to my insecurities which in turn have buried my personality. I'm fucking robotic and way too rigid, just as you mentioned, I too fuck it up even when approached
