Has anyone here been able to completely turn around their life?

Do you own a graphics card/gpu?

Not without the truth/Jesus.

Truth is eternal man. There is no better foundation.

I went from hero to zero. This year I thought I could make it and become a normie again, but now I'm too tired. Sometimes it's too late and you'll deteriorate into a fucking subhuman.

I did
>complete loser in school
>no friends, no social skill, mostly fat, skinny fat when I starved myself by playing CS:GO for 12 hours straight
>legit daydreamed about shooting up the school
>KHV
Now me in University:
>constantly get complimented by girls and guys that I'm sociable and charismatic
>mired by girls from time to time, not too often though
>still not super ripped or bulky but slowly improving my body
>still KHV but working on it, had a girl try to kiss me but I was too autistic
I approached making it socially the same way I approached losing fat:
>you didn't get into this fucked up situation in a day, so don't think you will fix it in a day
Having this mindset is what helped me the most, I started small by talking to guys in the University about classes (which gave me huge anxiety back then), then slowly worked my way up to talking to guys about life, making friends with guys, talk with girls about classes, ask girls for help, talk to them casually and making friends with them.
Yes, I embarrassed myself a lot, yes I had panic attacks and yes I thought about giving up and going back to playing CSGO all day, but I sticked to it and got gains.
Nowadays I am trying to make romantic gains but I still get very nervous asking girls out and have no idea how to actually go from being on a date to kissing one, but I'm slowly getting better at it since I'm practicing with fat and ugly girls for now.

Currently in the process of gathering evidence for disability with a clinical psychologist and pyschatrist because I basically don't know what else to do.

I guess this is what this means by don't drop out of school and become a shut-in. I'd like to blame my parents for how I turned out but my siblings are all successful normalfags, so can I still blame them or?

this is a very inspiring post. thanks user.

Thousands of people turn their lives around every year. Addicts kick habits, felons find jobs, former dropouts graduate from the establishments they went back to, and people who lived on government assistance move into their first homes.

You don't see them, because you just naturally assume they were always successful. They're there though.

I don't think they would be posting on Jow Forums now though.

>STOP BEING A PUSSY REEE
>JUST BE NORMAL

lol thanks for the advice gramps

Used to be a NEET for 3-4 years, tried to kill myself 2-3 times but failed at it due to simply not going through with it (tried to drown myself in ice cold water, ended up swimming some rounds nonironically).
Am on the way to becoming a doctor now, first year student though... People always try to give advice or tips so they can look better, so I won't do that here, just wanted to let you know that it doesn't matter what you were yesterday or what others want you to be.

2014 -- Alcoholic with useless Sociology degree. 24 yo. Got fired from being a bartender (wasn't any good, considered by many there to be dumb). Started working a 9-5 soon after selling plumbing parts. Made $38K per year. Wanted to die.

2018 -- borderline famous NBA journalist, blogger, writer, podcaster.

I did it. It only took abandoning a social life and working my ass off (80 hour weeks) for three full years. Also, I got lucky.

LOL 2-3 suicide attempts in 3-4 years?

I dont drive and dont know how to get around anywhere and I have severe asthma so i cant be around dust, dirt, etc

if anyone is in that situation 30+ its unlikely they can change their ways. they have firmly rooted their bad habits compared to a 21 yo basement dweller. im in my early twenties and was NEET but now decided to go to uni. still a khhv with no friends but im hoping that interacting with normies in group projects will gradually reduce my social anxiety through some form of exposure therapy.

faggot mellenial detected
enjoy being piss poor your whole life

yes. be nice to everyone, don't take yourself too seriously, and like others have said, read. cut out addictions in your life unless they're improving it. work until you can go to bed satisfied.

Just like 99% of the population?

This cunt acts as if everyone is a millionaire enjoying a carefree lifestyle LMAO.

99.99% of normies struggle week to week bitch, ain't that much different.

Being on disability as a shut-in is basically the same as being a normie, at the end of the day the purchasing power is the same really considering the normies have so much debt that theyre left over with autismbux spending money anyway

at 27 I weighed 389lbs

at 32 I weighed 190.

i spent just over 2 years getting over the crippling image issues that come from having so much loose skin.

Now I just do whatever is fun to me. It's still kinda difficult getting out there, but what do you have to lose?

You're already not meeting anyone.

You could not meet anyone while riding a jetski or mountain climbing or skydiving or whatever.

If you don't mind me asking how did you get over the image issues having of having lose skin? Did you get surgery to fix it or did you eventually learn to live with it? I'm in the same boat right now and it is killing me. I hate looking into the mirror.

In a similar spot.

Went from 270 to 205 with muscle over the past few years. Upper body looks kinda good can see some muscle definition. Still alot hiding under fat. Stomach looks like a trainwreck, hecka lose and hangs all over the place.

I basically forced myself to not care. Hard to explain. But the surgery is like $20k out of pocket, and that's never going to happen.

I just keep my shirt on in the summer and don't get worked up over how strict my cuts are since abs are impossible.

Been with 4 women in the last couple of months and they never mentioned it. Granted none of them lasted more than a couple dates but it's Tinder so...oh well.

hey yeah I did.

NEET with zero social contact to guy who genuinely has girls hitting on him and asking him out on a regular basis (im in college, it happens 2-3 times per quarter that a girl straight up asks me out for coffee or a date, I literally don't know any other guy who has my romantic success). Only emphasizing my romantic/sexual success because its a good barometer to use to figure out where you are on the male food chain.

I'll check back in like 10 minutes but let me know what part of the process you are hoping to get info on.

and here's current build, all lifts at intermediate according to the strength standards site and I maintain this level of bodyfat year round (first year doing it but I plan to keep it forever, so far so good)

Enter your lifts into Strength Symmetry and post results

I am around intermediate-proficient myself at my bodyweight but need to lose like 15kg bodyfat

I went from being broke, fat and lonely to being wealthy, fit and popular. I already had social skills and already had face/frame/height, I just had a bad period of my life. The change was still very drastic.

>I already had social skills

So nothing was ever wrong with you, normalfag.

I'd really love to know what your idea of a bad period is.

It is possible.
I went from a social outcast, constantly being ignored, almost no friends, no social skills, not caring about my looks

To a ultra high maintenance girl, with a lot of social skills, big groups of friends, popular at school, liked by almost everyone, seen as beautiful and have a good future ahead of me.

How I did this: I decided for myself this wasn’t how I wanted to live, changed my appearance slowly, moved to a private school and started over with a new identity.

>so can I still blame them or
no you boomer fuck, you've been an adult for more than a decade, you have only yourself to blame for your continuing failure

you have to define hero, every person has their own perception of what a hero is and to achieve your own ideal is different from someone else

yes
was fat, no job, virgin
>Join the army
>get a pog job
>learn civilian equivalent skills, paid to do pt so i lost my weight after losing the weight found a cute azn gf that im pre sure is using me for the military benefits but idgaf pussy is nice

if you can be successful on your own don't join the army its not worth it for money alone, if you have no hope then whatever do it, its a fresh start

I was born in a ghetto.
Now I am a biomedical engineer.
Went from fat to lean and swole.
Still have autism tho. Dunno did I make it in your book?

After college, I intentionally worked a pointless, directionless job. I moved into another job after 4 years out, and now I am managing a crew of guys at an airport. I recently applied for a position in another business, and if I get accepted through the process, I will start out making close to 70K. So, I guess, in process of turning things around? I have a young family. So their needs outweigh mine right now.

As far as physical fitness, I was really fit when I got out of college, and I stayed that way for a while. Then I let bad habits start to take over and am now trying to get rid of my last one, smoking. I have a plan. All I have to do is follow that plan.

I suppose I am doing it all at once. Just a step here and a step there, and eventually I will turn it around completely.

I was a fat fuck and got bullied in school untill i started changing my diet around and exercising at 16. I quit sugar, wich helped a lot, but years of bullying had me obssesed with becoming skinny, and i probably overdid it(pretty much anorexic at that point). Then a highschool friend got me into training(mostly cardio and weight training) and i became more fit and started eating again.
Then i started college and had to cook for my own, pretty bad at it at first(just instant ramen, pizza, pasta with sausages, rice with tuna as usual meals), but learned and improved with time. Less than a year ago a friend convinced me to start goin to the gym with him and i really liked it, so here i am today gettin a little better everyday, not only in body but in mind, years of bullying are hard to forget but it gets better with time.

TL;DR: You absolutely can, It takes time, effort and commitment, but you can do It user

You are pathetic. Stop trying to find things to blame for your problems. It's your fault.

Really simple:
>be virgin
>start lifting
>the gains are comming
>lost my virginity at a party

Cool

why

I went from virgin weird kid gamer in high school (class of 2012) to fit frat boy womanizer in college (class of 2016) to marathon running guy with hot Brazilian gf living in NY making $240k/year working in private equity

This sounds like a meme answer, but two things:

1) behavioral modifications. For example, when I’m cutting, I only buy bread, eggs, bacon, and sandwich meats. You can’t get fat off that. If there’s no junk around, you won’t eat junk. Or studying. If you go to the library with a book and a pencil and don’t leave for 10 hours, you’ll more or less be forced to read

2) wanting it. When I want something it literally is a visceral feeling of want. So badly. If I don’t get it, it ruins everything. I have to have what I want.

>tried online school, couldnt handle it

kek; stop being a pussy and do something about it, dont blame genetics u worthless fag

How did you explain the fact you spent 30 years as a HHKV no GF?

I mean, doesn't your family troll you in-front of her about it? Mine would.

The only way Id get away with it is if I never let her meet my family.

>How did you explain the fact you spent 30 years as a HHKV no GF?
To "my first"?
Not at all. I guess she figured it out by herself, but since it was purely a fuckbuddy relationship, I did not care. She still fell in love with me after a while though.
To my gf?
Slowly and step by step when necessary, after I felt I could trust her enough.
>I mean, doesn't your family troll you in-front of her about it? Mine would.
I have one uncle who i suspected that he probably would, so I told him not to beforehand, but I would not have to. Everyone was just genuinely happy for me, though it probably also helps that my gf is a quite likeable person.
>The only way Id get away with it is if I never let her meet my family.
That sucks. But maybe you just think that? Even my "funny" uncle (that like everyone seems to have) was cool with it.

Bump

I've made full transformations pretty regularly. Only one I ever have trouble with is keeping friends (have yet to figure out hot to perform that feat). I was born dirt poor into a government assistance abusing household. It goes without saying my family was abusive. I was used as a paycheck, any chores I did in the neighborhood would result in my money being taken, and at 16 my only birthday gift was a job and a list of bills to pay. I've been homeless for a very short period of time as well. I stayed focused and now my own home (and 5 acres of land), completely paid off, since I was 26. If you hyper focus on what you want, use the power of either positivity or negativity to propel you toward that goal. Most importantly make is the epitome of your existence and be able to sacrifice anything and everything that may serve as a distraction. I tried college but it wasn't for me, only served as a means to put myself in debt so I avoided it when I was no longer able to pay out of pocket.

What's the best part about being rich?

Where do you lean politically? (be honest please, I'm just curious.)

>I am have it the worst
>Everyone but me has it better
>You would have killed yourself many times if you've had it that bad as I do

You're pathetic get out of your victim role you faggot

Best and worst part is the convenience. I haven’t cooked a meal in a year (partly because I work 70-75h a week). I have someone clean my apartment, do my laundry, etc.

A while ago I got tired of Michelin restaurants, nice hotels, etc. Now when my gf and I travel we go to hostels.

My favorite way to spend my money is to buy my friends and family nice gifts. I send fine wine to my college friends who don’t live in NYC to remind them I’m thinking about them. I get nice jewelry for my gf, and nice soaps and bath stuff for my mom, etc.

I lean left, socialist. Almost everyone in my industry is left, but fewer are socialist. We benefit from loose fiscal policy (like if Dodd Frank goes and we can lever the shit out of our portfolio companies) but we are all generally highly educated (Ivy League and similar) and moralistic (find Trump values dehumanizing to women and minorities, though most are okay with conservative values in a non-party context). Where we differ from others is generally a rigid belief in neoliberal economic theory as that props up our asset class, more or less.

Well then, another right wing meme I was skeptical of turns out to be true.

Jesus dude, not going to lie, that's probably the most pathetic post ive read. I mean dude how can you be this much of a pussy.

Where did everything go so wrong OP? Was it dropping out of high school?

Nice man that must feel great, I have another questions if you're willing to answer.

Your views on Immigration, not American so I don't have a first hand experience but what do you think about immigration laws?

Your views on Zionism? Being in NY in the financial field I'm sure you probably work with at least one jew.

Thanks man, godspeed.

/fat/ to Jow Forums. Social retard to lots of friends and pretty high up the foodchain. Eternal virgin to gf and no virginity. It started with getting fit, improved my self confidence to the point I could actually use my charisma instead of stuttering awkwardly when I tried to talk to people

I work with tons of Jews. I live with two Jews. My girlfriend is a Jew, though not bar mitzvahd. I mean, it’s Manhattan lol. I don’t keep up with the Israel / Palestine thing. I’m from the south so not many Jews where I grew up. I’m a confirmed Presbyterian, but not practicing. So I don’t really think about it that much. They’re all fine people, even if slightly culturally different, but that’s true of all religious groups.

Immigration is tough. My job is to buy and sell large companies (think Bain Capital and KKR buying Toys R Us and loading up the balance sheet with debt). Immigrant workers are part of a complex system that enables these businesses. I also see cultural exchange daily in New York and it’s a good thing. When you see rust belt Americans getting really fucked over, it’s not the fault of immigration per se, but longstanding cultural values and an economic inability to retrain and relocate for work. You should look up “Hillbilly Elegy” if you’re interested, and “Future of Work” as a topic to read about. All in all, I take no hard stance. I like the guy in my Halal cart outside of work and I know he’s not legal, but he makes good food and I’ve met his kids. I know these people. They’re good people. The ones who aren’t are constricted by such awful situations that to judge their actions the way you judge a middle class white guy’s actions is apples to oranges.

I’ve never heard that term but that sounds about right

Cringe. Imagine being this much of an unenlightened loser that eats up all the worldviews he is told to have. Heavy cringe

T. Actual jew

Real talk: I want to tell you that you're not a pathetic loser because of your age, height, virginity, lack of social experience, or lack of education.

You're pathetic because of all your excuses, passive attitude and blame-shifting.

Man thanks for these answers I'm watching the Japan game so will read them later, just gonna drop a few more questions because this is legit interesting to me.

1. What do you think of Eric Weinstein? Specifically this paper by him ineteconomics.org/uploads/papers/Weinstein-GUI_NSF_SG_Complete_INET.pdf , always wanted to know the opinion of someone who worked in finance about it.

2. Future of the United States, it seems to me despite financially solid, socially, you're country is more divided than I've ever seen it, you're becoming a country where there are no majorities, and you lack a civic nationalistic ideology for cohesion, (think teddy Roosevelt nationalistic ideology), what do you make of it? Will it pass?

3. Money truly runs everything right? It seems that at the end of every road, no matter the conspiracy, money is always the end result, rarely ideology, but always money, also silicon valley billionaires are not at the top, right? I'm sure there are maybe at least 300 people who control the upper echelons, and they're all in finance/banking, youtube.com/watch?v=PMotykw0SIk > Chamath Palihapitiya says so in this talk.

4. What do you think of Localism? As described by Peter thiel.

5. Opinions on Elon Musk, don't tell me you're shorting TSLA, don't run my papa over pls.

Thanks for this man, Japan is winning 2-0, amazing.

Good luck user. Going back to school after being a piece of shit is honestly great. It made me feel like I gotten a second chance with my life.

>I'd like to blame my parents for how I turned out but my siblings are all successful normalfags, so can I still blame them or?

jesus christ user, you can't blame anybody. the first step in turning your life around is taking responsibility for your current situation.

Whatever, I read the New Yorker and NYT and the Atlantic and every single person in Manhattan is liberal and we live a much better life than the rest of the country, so hey.

Point 1, too busy to read, sorry. Point 2, I think about that a lot, and that may be a down side of globalization. I think the best remedy is shared cultural understanding that can only be built in the public school system. Point 3 lol yes money is power obviously. Point 4 please elaborate on localism. Point 5 no opinion except their cars have shitty frames (too heavy) so not thaaaat efficient and they are really more of a battery company than car company when you look closely

Nice, thanks for answer, you will probably like:

Sometimes I wonder just how much separates someone who is socially adored from a pariah. I have a feeling it really isn't that much and typically people just fall into the role they feel they were given.
