How's the new year treating you?
Make goals, not resolutions.
Make a plan how to get to them. What will you do, day by day, week by week, to achieve them?
Did you start already? If not, what are you waiting for?
WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT!
How do I stop being an incel? Girls don’t seem to want anything to do with me :(
Step 1 don't use the word to describe yourself.
Cherish your virginity, user. Go to liturgy every Sunday, and seek God. Don't let thots dictate how you feel about yourself.
sup /sig/, haven't visited Jow Forums in a while.
Turned 22 on the 27th last month, feels fucking great. this is just the beginning.

cheers brahs, we're all gunna make it brah
are you ugly? I'm no chad and king of a sperg but somehow i had a GF for 3 years and have girls hit me up
Lets get shredded this year brah
What are you guys reading? If the answer is nothing, start reading something today. I finished a book on the history of Babylon and am now thinking of starting East of Eden.
i can't get/keep a gf because my baseline anxiety is off the charts and i'm borderline paranoid
my nervous system probably got fried after getting bullied and abused for most of my childhood
anyone got advice?
I've got lots of CS books, was probably start pic related because an upcoming class is using it and i want to be ready.
I'm reading The Like Switch. Next I'll either read Models, Shadow and Claw, or the first Game of Thrones book.
How do I stop hating myself?
Ayn Rand-The Fountainhead
Friedrich Nietzsche-Beyond Good and Evil
Along with working my way through the Bible over the course of the year.
I really recommend Shadow and Claw along with the rest of the Book of the New Sun, get to it as soon as you can, although it might be a bit difficult to get into, it is very well worth it.
Finally got on a stimulant for ADHD and I feel like a completely new person. Today I went to my lectures, took care of some banking, got a membership and lifted for the first time...
Went alright but my left pec, shoulder and arm completely tapped out and I couldn't finish a 3rd set of anything upper body. Will lower the weight so I can do full 3 sets next time. I'm gonna finally fucking do it bros
The Bible
Marx and Derrida can help, user
Does /sig/ have any booklists? Interested in learning a little of the science behind health and Jow Forumsness.
same question but for learning programming? Should I go for java, c++, or which? I'm 100% new in that so idk which book to look at or where to start.
The Stranger by Albert Camus
East of Eden was great. Many people think it's hard to get through because of the lengthy mid section that tends to get slow, but Steinbeck manages to make the prose flow nicely. Idealized, but in a good way. Hope you like it
Currently on Infinite Jest, which Christ that's taken a while. I'm also reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep on the side, and Meditations I reread pretty much monthly
How do you guys pick yourself up after a bad day?
Don't expect some easy fix like medicine for an infection. This is something deeply psychological and takes time. Begin to understand yourself, take time to consider your motivations and priorities. You may think you want things, but if you find you're never really working on achieving them, you probably aren't interested in them as much as you thought. Acting in dissonance with yourself is the main cause of your discomfort, I think.
Find what drives you and pursue it. Find what other people like about you and embolden it. Become someone you want to be around because you're your only, and greatest company, in the end.
Gonna repost this here:
So I heard an user here say that frequent jacking off fries T receptors. Anyone have any type of studies or sauce on this? I'm genuinely curious
East of Eden was a great read and I highly recommend it. Currently reading Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding by Arnie. So far it's a great read and filled with more info than I expected.
seems like an interesting route to self improvement
Does online speech therapy work? Anyone have experienced with it?
I'm tired of sounding like a retard when I talk and fixing it myself failed.
Has anyone else in this thread seen the YouTube channel "Alphadestiny?" Alex, the man who hosts it gives really great fitness and life advice.
I have been a loyal fan of Alphadestiny for years. Thanks to his training advice, I've gotten quite yolked. I have never received this amount of female attention in my life.
Dude no kidding Alphadestiny got me my gf.
Same here. His old "forward dating" posts really opened my eyes as to how women really think and feel.
Java is easy to pick up
Holy fucking shit. How much did AlphaManlet pay you to shill his channel here. I've seen this faggot in several threads and 1 mega thread regarding him and that roid-faggot Eric. Fuck off
Bro, Alphadestiny made me quit nofap. I absolutely need to taste his cummies.
And fuck you too, Eric
SIG covers sexual health too, right?
I just went limp, couldn't get hard, and i usually dont have many chances to fuck, so i've been wondering what happened and the measures i can take to have a better sexual health and a better dick in general.
Thing was, during the whole thing i was flaccid.
I decided to quit porn, thats for sure. What else could i do?
Accepting any tips. Thnak you in advance.
None of the posters in this thread, or any of the others you've mentioned are affiliated with Alphadestiny and his brand, nor are they compensated monetarily or otherwise.
Alphadestiny hosts a very successful, and popular YouTube channel (200,000 subs), it only makes sense that this forum has at least a few fans.
This. Fellow Alphadestiny subscriber here. The trolls on this forum are paranoid.
You might just need to take a break from sex for a bit. No fap, give your dick a break.
That or you broke it and now you need cialis.
Any of you guys ever have problems with cheating or desiring attention from women other than your gf?
Practice makes perfect. Perhaps its your general air about you? Maybe fix your posture, maintain eye contact, read body language. People are pretty simple, you can easily tell when she isnt interested or when she just wants to be friends. Watch a few videos about interactions or something.
Yes. Ever since I started taking the life advice of Alphadestiny, I haven't stopped receiving female attention. It's put me in quiet a rough spot considering I'm married. The temptation is too real.
Take the strategical fapping pill. Only fap right before a flatline or around lunchtime if youre going to have sex that night, and only fap to your imagination
Reading Outliers and Sherlock Holmes collection I got from my parents.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is great. Once you read it you'll be done in no time.
On a side note, I'll be going out later for the first time out clubbing at a pub. One of my oldest friend invited me and she's going to be the only one I know among the group along with her. What can I do to no fuck it up like an autist?
Had this problem and I rarely ever watch porn in the first place. It was generally performance anxiety and having a early work schedule so I'm usually exhausted on weekends when I have sexual encounters from my sleep schedule being turned upside down.
Try supplementing L-arginine as this can help blood flow and give a fuller erection, it also made me a bit more sensitive. Try ZMA for bed, heard this helps people get morning wood which while not directly helping you it may have a effect... idk. Made my cum more thick thats for sure.
Anxiety and paranoia comes from patterns of thinking that are unhealthy and make you unhappy. You can learn to recognize these patterns and replace them with healthy ones. Look into cognitive behavioral therapy. You don't need to see a therapist or anything like that, you can teach it to yourself using books and the internet. Shit works. Good luck bro.
> [Peterson screams internally]
Lost my best friend, and my gf whom I loved dearly cheated on me, all within the span of 2-3 months. Worst holiday season of my life and I have to admit I am struggling to cope, as they were the only people in my life I really had to talk to. I really hope this doesn't leave me fucked up for good. Trying real hard to keep my shit together and keep lifting and doing my shit and not wallow. Just needed to get that off my chest, sorry for the downer of a post. Hope 2019 treats us all a little bit better.
Nah don't worry user I hear you. I have a friend who got cucked as well this cuffing season. Just like I am there for him I'm sure there is someone there for you as well be it family, friend, or possibly a random online stranger. Let it all out bro.

Perhaps you're better of by getting a recorder and just trying to speak to it, and then listen to yourself. Try getting a beer beforehand, as the reduction on inhibition may help with the flow of the speech.
Sometimes your pee pee knows better, so if it didn't get hard with the chick, perhaps it's because something in your subconscious doesn't aprove of this lady yet.
Drink and cheer but don't get shitfaced.
Started new year precisely lifting. I've been doing my dalies for creation so far, but I already began noticing certain failures in my actions. But well, I remain optimistical.
Sorry to hear that. There is the consideration by some that life is suffering by default, and that doing nothing just won't cut it to help tip the already, imbalanced scales in your favour. Continue those things that propel you forward, and strive for every day to present a better you than the last day (if even a little). Having been in a situation similar to yours, minus the friend, I really do believe one has to suffer through something like this at least once in their lives - these types of moments can produce the greatest amounts of concentrated self-improvement, if you realize it and seize it.
Don't forget to keep your room clean.
I relate to that OP. I was with a girl for a while and we were getting serious, I thought she was perfect for me, I was madly in love with her and never felt stronger about anyone. She called me up a couple weeks ago and told me that she cheated on me with her best friend’s ex boyfriend. This shit still has me fucked up but it’s weird cause since then I’ve become way more confident in myself and feel more accepting of who I am as a person. I’m still not in the best place mentally, I’m anxious and constantly think about what happened but I’ve gained a lot of self confidence and have this drive to channel the negative energy into improving myself.
Meditations by marcus aurelius
Probably gonna start sun and steel by that japanese guy
Don't know, but for non fiction this is a very sig book, that I read end enjoyed
en.m.wikipedia.org
Depends what do you want to do, and what is your personality like, for me I really need to understand the underlying concepts of what I'm doing, so for me the c->c++->whatever you want rout seems the best. But this will take more time than starting with a more employable languages
Train your pc muscles
A girl said let's do something fun.
What do people find fun exactly? I've always been only into work and games.
She liked the idea of going for a walk, but I'm not sure how to make that fun.
Netflix and chill can be done occasionally, but that would get boring too. So what's exactly fun?
Something she hasn't done before, or rarely done. Go skating, hiking, drive to a hill with a panoramic view of the city. Go to a film festival, or a concert, some sort of event happening in your town. Take her to a lesser known nice place with a lot of charm. A quiet park with a nice view. A riverside walk ending at your or her place.
Or maybe she wants you to get sexual right away.
>wanna get into hiking
>nearest hiking trail is an hour and a half away from me
hike to it
Yes I will hike along the highway to a hiking track
did you really throw a bunch of unrelated images together hoping they describe someone?
Didn't my first session of couch to 5k
Felt pretty good
I might just even make it
Forgot stats
I have no idea what's a good pace, and the elevation seems bogus desu, I ran along a stream bank
faggot
this hurts man
Just finished The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe on recommendation of a friend. Probably gonna work through my Kant book over summer.
Spend some time reading The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene in the evenings, but it's too heavy to read on the way to work, so I reread 48 Laws of Power on the train.
Big fan of his work. A lot of it is really eye-opening.
The only shitty habit that I have is porn and masturbation and seems to be the only one I can't give up on. Longest I've been was 10 days. Should I seek professional help?
>Bad days
as opposed to not bad days?
Why did you post this image? What do you get out of attacking me personally like that?

yikes
This is retarded, it implies positive things are as bad as negative things in life.
>lmao dude just don't be sad XD
This picture is much better.
>thinking depression just "goes away"
>thinking a depressed person is capable of meaningful change
Your hardware can't run this software, meathead.
Nah, I was just saying that the pic I was replying to is retarded, because is only purpose is to shit on everything /sig/ stands for and to bring you down ( notice shiting on exercising, programing, philosophy etc...)
I can't even decipher if it's made ironically, because only some loser that actually experienced and knows that stuff can make such compilation.
So because he is a loser, he implies others are too.
i meant your image
Trick is that those behavior reinforce depression. At some point, you notice you are doing those stuff, not even because you truly enjoy them, just so you can fill your time with least resistance for dopamine hits.
Idk, at least for me, the more I was returning to that behavior, more depressed I was becoming. That's why you have to catch yourself sinking and resist.

Porn is actually bad for you and fucks with your brain.
Nofap basically only works because you get so horny your brain goes in overdrive
such a brainlet understanding of the brain kek
porn and masturbation satisfy you, so you have less drive to go and achieve
its not "bad" for you, its bad for your productivity
its actually good for you to regularly ejaculate, and reduces stress
Dude, it creates patterns of easy dopamine hits. One way of looking it is reduced productivity, but that is just the symptom. In reality, you are just addicted to it, it only becomes clear once you try it.
WAKE UP
>its not "bad" for you, its bad for your productivity
which is bad for me, how I perform, how much I can achieve
which is also bad for society in a bigger picture
>its actually good for you to regularly ejaculate, and reduces stress
yes, once a week / every 2 weeks max.
but for that I don't need porn
>I decided to quit porn, thats for sure. What else could i do?
Noporn.
Nofap.
If it's not good in a month or so, it's either psychological or mechanical. See a doctor to eliminate the mechanical possibility, then see a therapist for the possible mental wall.
as bad as it sounds
>cardio
is your heart healthy enough to get the blood flowing?
Maybe you can try citrulin-malat.
It greatly improves blood flow.
>once a week / every 2 weeks max
lolno
lolno more often or lolno not so often?
Looking back at my life, I've practically failed at every single thing I've attempted. It's almost like a fucking comedy show.
2019 is going to be different, either that or I kill myself.
I'm tired of doing my best, failing, then being told I just "didn't try hard enough".
>2019 is going to be different, either that or I kill myself.
at least try to kill yourself end of 2019 so you fail that too and start a new life in 2020.
What things did you fail?
Storytiiiiime!
Glad to hear it but this doesn't really answer my question. Is it possible to just "stop" with porn and shit or should I get professional help like I was an alcoholic/drug addict.
it is
But like everything else going from 100 to 0 will often end in a failure.
Start slow, try to watch it not so often.
or go back to vanilla stuff
watch less and less
over time you won't miss it really anmore
some people are genetically predisposed to addiction, and require huge lifestyle changes, including from people around them, to be happy off their addiction
might as well go to the psychiatrist to help you get taller
Try very hard to kys. Near death experience is one of the fastest ways to reset a nervous system. Often people are scared of getting mad. Get mad, who cares.
You may also want to try this if you have money.

Cardio. Get your blood pressure real low. The hardness of your dick is measured by a differential between cock sponge blood pressure against the pressure of the atmosphere and the rest of your body.
Just like an a/c will freeze over if it’s too hot outside. So too does your heart pump the same amount of blood, but that blood does less and less.
Sun and steel is not a good starting point. I suggest you start with Confessions of a Mask.
I have really liked all Steinbeck I've read so far and quite a few people have told me that East of Eden is his best work so I'm excited for it.
Maybe you didn't tried hard enough though.
Ever seriously considered it?
Self-sabotage is a real thing too.
Saved this one a while ago. Definitely good reads
>Is it possible to just "stop" with porn and shit or should I get professional help like I was an alcoholic/drug addict.
Of course it is.
Even when stopping other drugs.
It's easier for some people, of course, and maybe medical help would _help_ you, but nonetheless, try.
Try and do it.
It's just porn, not fucking heroin.
