In my experience when someone has achieved nothing they tend to result to cutting others down. When they cant do that they're forced to see their failures and lament them.

I wish I could say this about myself. I wish I were a workaholic that sacrifices the Now to actually get something in the future.

The Now and the Future are both shit.

What's your excuse?

I’m fat broke socially anxious autist Who doesn’t really want to do anything. Even if I had money what then? Buy vidya? Great life. Go on trips? Cool sounds boring. Partying a lot sounds like it could be fun if I was fit and had better social skills, but that’s no life, that’s constant escape.

How many project due dates, job hunts, and exams do you think those guys had to worry about

the Now is horrible and I wish it'd fuck off and die

The cope is enormous.

I’m tired

Because I have the body of Smeagol.

Now can suck my dick

Lifting is what's left of my abstract dream of strength.
I never had a tough time chasing my dreams. I would fall asleep thinking of the limitless possibilities the future could hold. Sometimes completely fantastical but I didn't care, I would go out and chase them. But over time, doors closed, reality set in, chances taken, missed time after time. Each time getting back up and setting my sites on a new one or trying again, fueled by the fantasy .
Now I can't, my mind is blank as I stare at the ceiling waiting for my sleep medication to kick in.
I want to dream again.

because Jow Forums is very negative.

If you want my real theory it's that Jow Forums communities (and reddit and tumblr) create self-reinforcing positive feedback loops which couple with members confirmation bias to mainline a worldview, and Jow Forums's (and reddit and tumblr but it doesn't seem absolutely necessary) includes a general hatred of the world and the self.
Someone comes on here, gets the ideas stated simply and generally enough to apply to any number of common situations, goes out into the world and experiences those situations which confirm the bias (regardless of reality), which prompts them to come back here. A sense of belonging is intoxicating, and a sense of being part of some countercultural or underground group with a vague enemy (even better if that vague enemy has their own self-reinforcing cringe feedback loops so produce shit as ridiculous as their outgroups worst caricatures would expect them to), all addicting as fuck.
It's like porn but for having friends.

Based gnomish psychic.

Because in 2018 life is alienating and lonely. people work shitty jobs that breed nothing but contempt for what one already has. People have been fed the pill that they are strong enough on there own, that they can go through life by themselves, and maybe that's the most devastating part of it all.
What I would give to sit under the sun with a group of people I love and not have to worry about a single thing. Sounds amazing. maybe one day...

because existence is a nigger. this planet is nothing but an immense pile of filth and for most its actually a living hell. any goodness that exists here is essentially unobtainable unless you were born into it. you can't earn anything in this life, you can only be given to or stolen from, and no one is going to give you shit. they might trade you a shithole apartment for 20 out of your 40 back-breaking hours of work a week, they might trade you a mortgage for complete control over your life, but are these really gifts to you, or is it just a complex way of stealing from you?
call me a commie or a lazy faggot or a defeatist all you want, but there is nothing worth working for on this earth when no matter what someone can take it away if they feel like it - and they will feel like it eventually. this earth is hell and there is no way to "win" if you were born a loser. thats the brutal truth and if you try and deny it, your definition of "winning" is pathetic and you're probably a cuck

you stop that right the fuck now

sounds like hedonism. get the fuck out

pseudo intellectual bs

I spend too much time trying to impress someone who isn't interested in me. Kill me.

Hahaha this shit is fucking killer, takes forever to get past the "where the fuck am I going" feeling.

Because i'm 26 right now and let myself slip into a hole, i haven't really progressed as a human since i was 18. Now that I've realized that and formulated plans and goals to get myself back on track I've realized it's going to be a massive years long effort to just be an average, run of the mill functional normie. If i had just kept my head above water and not been complacent i could of avoided all this but now it's 8 years i'll never get back.

I feel like i'm on a highway and i'm ten cars behind everyone else and there's no turnoffs.

I kinda like his attitude though, shit you don't like but can change - change it. Shit you can't change, accept it because stressing over shit you have no power over (your height for example) is kinda a waste of time and the stress is just you hurting yourself. Which is not only not a good place to be in, but counter productive for living a reasonably nice life.

So fuck it, bring on the cope. Better than suffering needlessly.

Because I failed again and have to deload my squat. After my last leg surgery, I've started to see an imbalance forming but I kept lifting assuming it'd even out. It's now 6 months later and I've made almost zero progress. This last semester of uni killed me as well and I'm struggling to get even 5 hours of sleep each night.
I'm not going to make it. And it really fucking sucks.

Fucking brainlets not getting this post. smdh (shaking my damn head)

Because I can't maintain relationships with anyone, lost all my high school friends and dont feel comfortable letting people into my personal life.
It's all fucked brehs and I'm sick right now too. Thank God for my sister, she's my only friend these days

>lose friends
>become friendless loser
>don't want anyone to see you're a loser so don't let anyone into your personal life either as friend or relationship
>remain a friendless loser

etc etc

Yeah I fucked her

howdy, I know life can get difficult, frustating, or boring, but to me, each and every one of you have the potential to be even greater than you realize. I know i'm just another random user to you people but i believe in you guys. You need to tell yourself that you DESERVE better in life because it's YOUR life. No matter what obstacle comes your way.

Almost everyone's living a fake life through their social media.
Joe or Jane- takes some roids spends 5mins at the gym working out then takes 500 photos and uploads that one "instant shot".
People's lives are literally just commenting and promoting.

We often get drunk together and

im so sick of hearing this shit. yeah social media put up a facade a lot where people just post the best parts of their lives, but this idea that their lives are just boring outside of that is bullshit. most of those people still have plenty of friends, plenty of hobbies, relationships, and live very normal lives. nowhere near the shit most of us here live. if those normal people had to live our lives for a week theyd probably want to kill thenselves too

Keep telling yourself that bud.

Hey at least we are trying to improve ourselves physically. That's a step forward to a healthy life and now we just need to apply the same mindset to socializing face to face with normies.

telling myself what, tha ttheir lives are fine outside of social media? believe me, im sure the instagrm models who you think "live fake lives on social media" are living pretty damn good loves off of it too

Repeating a position doesn't make it right, I'm not replying to you further because your clearly not particularly bright.

This. Also most people aren’t strong enough to stand by their own ideas.

Majority of human population spends less than 1% of their time outside in a social environment. Lack of social interaction is subconsciously perceived as punishment for your own iniquity. Stronger than 95% of the population but you know you still have to lose another 10kg. Tfw you can't even remember the date how will you ever organise yourself.
Still posting on 4channel in 2019.

I didn't want to know this user. ;-;

Check out Dave Ramsey. Dude can get you debt free. People have been over a million dollars in debt and climbed out of that hole using his plan. It's legit great knowledge to have.

I barely exist. I'm a fucking medical student, on track to one of the most respected professions known to society, but it's like I'm invisible to everyone except my family and maybe a few friends I've had since high school (that I see once in a blue moon). I have literally everything else going for me--healthy, disciplined, no money problems, caring and supportive family, soon to have a fantastic and fulfilling career, but I don't have anybody to share it with. I'm a fucking KHV who has no idea what it's like to ever be attractive to a woman. I can get along fine with everybody but nobody really gives a fuck about me. I never get invited anywhere unless I invite myself, and even if I go somewhere I'm largely ignored or seen as an outsider no matter how I act. Everybody likes me but nobody loves me. I barely exist.

Sounds like the only problem is women for you, just drop them and focus on being. I my optic most of men who have wife/girlfriend, hates it about 80/20. So why not just be what ever you want. You will die someday and no one will care, like the rest of us. But for me thats very liberating.

I know that feel bro, that's why I ended up friendless, because it was obvious they didnt really care about me so once I stopped hitting them up I never heard from them again

It is idiotic, no one does one specific thing 16 hours a day then goes to sleep, repeating an endless cycle of goal oriented living. Yes, we do lift and study and work towards our goals, where we wish to be in 5-10 years etc. but that does not mean we do not stop to smell the flowers, enjoy a nice girl's smile or revel in heavy snowfall.
This Buddhistic "exist only in the now" is calming, but animalistic. Without looking and working forward in time, we stagnate. Stagnation is nature's way of saying: "My child, you are not improving, and with the passing of time you are only getting worse in all respects." As Hillel the Elder (I know, he was a jew) said, "Who does not improve, declines." Thus is the state of our existence.

I doubt it.

So what is the solution? Having goals but not focusing on achieving them? This is stupid.

Everything in moderation is a truism.

It's a weird thing to laugh at someone for documenting their progress.

That kind of just shows insecurity.

Sorry about your parents, mate.

Bitch's fatter than me too.

I think it's from The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle.

In a nutshell. Good summary.

relationships are hard work. Sounds to me like you are just expecting someone to get involved in your life just because you exists.
You need to start living yourself brah.

I can sympathize with your situation though since you are basically me minus the

I think it is some form of narcissistic personality that can lead to think this way.

You and I are virtually the same user. I'm not a virgin but everything else even down to the med school thing is exactly the same. I've never seen someone put this into words so thank you, you're very very visible to me bro. We'll make it
