Reminder that self improvement can be a form of procrastination from doing the things you actually need to do in life. Do your fucking work you lazy faggots then you can start reading/meditating and other gay shit where you trick yourself into thinking your being productive.

You will waste time "at work" if you don't have at least your body and mind in order. Self improvement breeds efficiency and efficacy. That being said, if "your work" is in line with your goals, then you should do that first. Eat the biggest, ugliest frog first thing in the morning.

Replying from last thread
If you've read Nietszche, you would probably recognize those ludic attitudes in relation with the last metamorphoses of the spirit (i.e., from lion into a child). You want to turn things with your freedom and play with them, and naturally you're attracted to something that has that marketing engineered into luring people who also want to play. You probably get bored easily because, at the end, either the game designed sucked, or, most likely, you want to play with things that bring a more tangible reward and challenge than those on virtual realms.
My suggestion to you is not to ditch your need to play with things, but to embrace them. Have you tried gamification methods or apps (like Habitica)? Make your life the game you'd like to play every day, and keep using regular games as the mini-games that help make the storyline less tedious.
It would also be wise to analyze yourself and see what is it that seems so attractive about those games to you -- is it the graphics, the story line, the characters, the female characters, the music?
I guess it was a typo and you meant "stiff neck". Try self massaging and also visit a chiropractor.
If you want to make friends go to a bar, a disco, or some sort of other place. Attend college to learn stuff. Even if you feel lonely there, I'm pretty sure you could go to counseling and they will not deny you the time to hear you out. But also, altough harsh, you will probably not get real friends there, as neither do most of us. If you want real friends, you can always come back to these threads... more real than the fake instagram-filled smiles you will find there.
Tell her to let you know as soon as it hurts when you're doing it, maybe her pussy just needs your patience before a full thrust.

>then you can start reading/meditating and other gay shit I do that. My problem is I don't work out at all. I work 8-12 hour days 6 days a week. The law recently changed in my country so every 3 hours spent sitting down we are now required by law to get up and walk around for half an hour, so every day I'm going to get between 1-2 hours paid to walk around on top of standard breaks.
Can you guys give me a little regiment I can do during that time off? I can't leave my work but I can bring in dumbbells. Is it true that the best workout you can do for fitness is the highest weight possible? So highest weight till fail? I don't care about building muscle I care about being healthy and doing it in the shortest time possible... I've read that something like push ups are totally shit when compared to curls etc?
I'm not a fitness guy obviously. Pic related the books I read. Halp pls guys I'm wasting away sitting down all day.
time to get up again lads fell down in some self pity bullshit but im tired of it im gonna get back into this fight

>be me >27 and pretty handsome >saved myself for marriage >blind first date with a 22 y/o immigrant girl from Eastern Europe and she's a 9/10 (no exaggeration) >also religious (orthodox) and seems extremely innocent
I waited till marriage for religious reasons and I suspect she might be in the same boat. If she turns out to still be a virgin I'm thinking of accelerating the relationship and proposing relatively soon down the line. I know it may sound stupid but I'm ok with marrying a stranger more-or-less if she has self respect for herself like I've had for myself she can't be all that bad. Love can develop and already did on the first date.
You'd be surprised, there's quite a religious resurgence in post-communist eastern euro countries. Lots of people becoming religious again. As an example, Orthodox Church in Russia is building like 3 churches a day to meet demand.

1) I have a general direction, but i'm finding more to add on to it 2) I've been cooking pretty well and eating clean, except for today, call it a cheat day, a sort of mini family reunion at grandma's 3) Doing alright, improving my current friendships and working on turning more acquaintances into friends. Mentioned the mini senpai reunion. Saw my aunt, i don't see her often but she's one of the most supportive people from dad's side of the family. She's very cool and i should hang out with her more. 4) Knowing greatness awaits me and being aware of where i started and how far i've come, the road is very long, much longer than it appears, but i've come far. >put soles in shoes and boots to look taller Jesus dude, don't, if you're not like 5'5 you really shouldn't do that. >take moles out by burning them Ok, that sounds very dangerous, i'm not sure, but i think it might increase skin cancer risk. If you have a huge mole go to a doctor.

It's not , the mole is very superficial so a small burn will destroy it , then it will scar and look like regular skin

Can’t believe it guys but I couldn’t cum with this girl last week. I did eventually finish but it was well past that point where she was done... usually have no problems when jerking off. Porns only like once a week or every other week when I fap.... I honestly thought I would be that guy that finishes in minutes but well fuck I felt bad. Is this possibly anxiety? I felt pretty comfortable the whole time just couldn’t finish in her.
Hopefully getting another chance this weekend so I haven’t fapped at all since then and honestly I’m hoping to finish within 10 mins or faster, I’ll just pause until I’m good again if she needs to get finished as well.
You guys got any tips to finish or general sex tips?

What’s the main take away form it ? What should I read next ?
Blake Lopez
I feel like life has improved when I stopped tracking my calories. I’m (fairly) young, muscular frame, and lift 5-6 days a week. Calorie counting became obsessive and kind of pathetic really. Instead I just pay attention to what I eat and quit sperging about it. Friends want to go out to a buffet, then I go out to a buffet. I just eat one plate instead of 3, and include some vegetables. I make sure to get enough protein and don’t eat straight garbage and life has been much more enjoyable, and my physique has still been improving
What should I treat myself with if I'm on a cut and don't want to eat trash? Salmon soup?
Jordan Ward
Everything is to take away from it. It’s a guide on how to get you in the right direction. Let me help you, what are your goals? >being super strong >looking like all might >getting fat >looking like Arnie >looking like a swimmer It’s all different and your goals matter.

Know what, I don't even know why I waste my time with you assholes. I keep thinking maybe once I can find someone to give me some actual advice rather than the same garbage all these "self-help" books give. You all seem to be tripping over yourselves to preserve the very system that is so broken that it forced you to have to do all this crap in the first place. I sincerely hope some day you guys wake up and actually try to get true freedom rather than the voluntary slavery that the normies you guys claim to despise choose everyday.
Camden Watson
I'm stuck in Jow Forums-tier content, I keep gaming and hearing alt-right youtube content when I procrastinate, and when I don't I think about race and IQ and culture and society and huite genocide. Really, I just want to stop consuming this content and get back to normal life. Rambling about low IQ immigrants and being utterly unproductive is even lower IQ. I actually miss the time I would not care about race.
Levi Kelly
You've broken free, all you need to do now is a) stop browsing Jow Forums (I just go there once a day to see the news and hide all the threads I don't wanna see on the frontpage once, then leave, gives me a good perspective on the shit Jow Forums pumps out) and b) figure out how you can best use your newfound freedom to help better the world.
Samuel Jones
I feel like I'm becoming a bit sociopathic. A good amount of my goals revolve around social life, and Im slowly starting to make progress on them, but I'm a bit robotic. Like Ill kind of just see people as opportunities to be friends, and I guess Im kind of just trying to "collect" friends without even really enjoying the friendship or anything actually like a genuine friendship. Its difficult to express, but its just so robotic. I think its because Ive been isolated for so long, and I still kind of am, yeah Im making progress but its early days.
Any ideas of how I can stop being like this? Im trying to limit my time alone, and make sure I dont listen to this kind of side of me, not plan too far ahead that sort of thing.
You can get around it by actually looking into politics, like reading normal news outlets, learning and reading about politics. History is a good one too for Jow Forumstards trying to recover.
What stopped me was becoming burnt out. I just got sick and tired of the constant bullshit. I remember not wanting to listen to Yanks constantly bitch about race, so I put some filters on, and literally 30 threads at any given time. After a few weeks of that I kind of saw the scope of it all, how fucking obsessed everyone was and not only that but how pointless it all was.
The best way to become not racist is just to talk to real life people who are of the races you hate too.
Aaron Reyes
>and I guess Im kind of just trying to "collect" friends without even really enjoying the friendship or anything actually like a genuine friendship. Its difficult to express, but its just so robotic.
The good thing is, you see the problem and are looking top fix it. So, just try and appreciate people for exactly who they are. Don't judge them, see them as they are and be ok with that. Get to know them more, ask them questions about themselves, give them, advice, and then tell them more about yourself, your work, your life, your hopes and dreams, stuff that bothers you, etc.
you have broken the conditioning, now make something of yourself. Scan headlines on drudge or listen to a weekly news podcast like FTN to stay informed, but work towards goals you may have. if you dont have any, make some.
Noah Myers
My shoulders are defiantly my weakest link. What can i do to fix them? My shoulders used to hurt back before i started working out on and off again, and they hurt in my first year of doing so. I think this is due to a sedentary life, my right shoulder used to hurt a lot. Now that i've been taking it seriously, i'm extremely happy with how my strength increased. But my shoulders are still disproportionately weak. Would adding another shoulder day just lead to overuse injury? What exercises, and rep ranges should i do? How easy or hard should the load be?
Josiah Clark
Most likely a postural or mechanical issue. Get a coach and do weightlifting as it's pretty much literally impossible to do without correct body mechanics.

Pushups aren't totally shit when it comes to being healthy man. Look into calisthenics, minimal equipment needed and you can easily put together a 20-25 minute routine to run on the daily.

I guess I'll kill myself then. I literally don't know what to do and no one wants to help me.
Joseph Morgan
Well, it's gotten better, no longer hurts, for the most part. They are still the hardest for me, and improvement is lagging. I'll see if i can get a coach only for shoulder day. I don't have much money to spare right now.
Joseph Ramirez
I don't mean for shoulder day. I mean that you should practice the sport of weightlifting, at least for a little while in order to straighten out your posture and body mechanics.
Landon Morgan
My life is just completely over. I will be 27 in under a month and my life is a completely worthless, pathetic joke. Literally everything you could think of when you think of a loser, I will have. I'm completely hopeless, I don't even have the faintest hint that I will ever become even close to a modicum of normality. I can barely even interact with other people and if people here saw my interactions with coworkers, etc they would probably shudder, and with all this I'm somehow supposed to have the motivation to improve myself. I'm too afraid to even talk to people because I'm so humiliated about my life that I don't even want to let people enter it.
I should have taken anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds or ritalin or attended therapy or something when I was going into college which maybe could have helped. Now it's all over, the only thing I have to look forward to in my life is when I finally get the balls to kill myself
Good luck to people here on their quests.

2 Days of accidental nofap completed, and now I'm committing to carrying it on as long as I can. Wrote a really great song for my band this week, now waiting on the singer to write lyrics to it. Was able to hit bench. My Lat injury is mostly recovered. Going to take it easy for a bit again, though. It wasn't perfect. Been doing a supplement stack that I think is going to help my T levels a lot. Been supplementing Iodine, and finally have protein for protein shakes again. It's going good. Just need to cut out the alcohol during the week. I own a breathalyzer. I don't even hit the legal limit, but I know it's still fucking my gains.
Elijah White
Confirmed didn't read the bell-curve. The people of the races you're advocating interacting with are going to inevitably from your general social status, and this is mostly outside your control, and it will taint your perspectives on the world in a way that national statistics do not. I'm sorry, but you are living a lie. I tried living the same lie for all of this year.
Michael Rogers
Yeah I'd wait at least several months to see how we work together, just not planning on waiting a year. This is of course all if she is really as good of a girl as I think she is. I don't expect it to make sense, I take my God really seriously. It was just my choice. I always said if I expect a virgin wife I should be the same for her otherwise its just hypocritical.

this is closer to autism than sociopathy
much more statistically likely as well, I'd consider trying to get a diagnosis since treatment groups for autism are actually pretty good these days
Andrew Russell
>this is closer to autism than sociopathy Hahaha user...yeah your right...fuck. I got tested once way back and the docs said I didnt.
Started making my own food on days when previously I would crave takeaways. Not super healthy, but far healthier than binge eating processed shit.
Here's a good pizza dough recipe to stop you getting (((takeaway))): 250g bread flour 5g salt 1g yeast 175ml warm water 0.5 tbsp olive oil Mix together until all mixed, dont knead, and leave for about 24 hours. 2 hours before use, separate dough into two balls and leave to proof again. Really makes an amazing dough.
Anybody got some good recipes to share? Need some more a bit more health-conscious.
Ayden Anderson
Should add that recipe makes 2 pizzas, as lont as you keep the ingredient ratios the same you can make as many or few as you want

Where should the balance between Individualism and collectivism be?
you can still have autism but not get a diagnosis sometimes autism doesn't reach the severity for a diagnosis but is still something you have I've noticed the longer I isolate myself the more autistic I become, keep socializing and it'll get better
Wyatt Rodriguez
>more health concerned recipes >pizza
???
Justin Ross
If 1 was Individualism and 100 collectivism, i would say about 40. People should have individual rights, but not forget that they're part of certain groups.
The birth of the United States is a perfect example of the best balance possible, which sadly has been ruined through the centuries.
Jose Collins
Not saying pizza is health concerned, I'm after recipes which are. Though it is no doubt healthier than the average takeaway.

This is metrosexual overkill. If you're getting into things like making eyebrows symmetrical you're going overboard. Just lose fat, build muscle and eat healthy/stay stress free to stay looking as young as possible.
