Seriously. I've been doing it for the past year and it just isn't leading anywhere. Yeah, I'm doing "better" at this arbitrary milestones I've set for myself, but I'm still miserable.
Why should I seek to improve myself when the world is going down the shitter, I plan to kill myself when my body really begins shutting down at around 45, and I have a very low chance of getting pussy even when I'm min/maxxed to the moon? I at least had things to look forward to when I was dissipating and using drugs and just being a degenerate in general.
This isn't going anywhere. Self-improvement only HIGHLIGHTS the meaningless of life if you're doing it just for the sake of it. Over a year of complete sobriety has taught me that. I need some MEANINGFUL, WORTHWHILE goals but nothing stands out. I'm just spinning my wheels.
Sounds like you haven't improved at all you massive faggot

Self improvement in a 1st world country is a luxury. It means you are horribly poor or in some 3rd world shit hole. Your life is officially easy enough that you worry about stupid shit that doesn't actually matter.

Ive decided that if life goes down the shitter for me later in life im just going to go back to opiates and probably overdose or something fun

The problem is that you fags keep trying to rationalize things that are just natural behavior to a well adjusted human being (most likely due to autism). No amount of nofap and looksmaxxing will change the fact that you're still an annoying prick with no personality or actual goals. You're not a KHV because you're 5'9, you're a KHV because you don't socialize, don't get to know people, and even when you do, you try to rationalize it, instead of enjoying yourself and acting like a human. Objectives, hobbies, friends, a fulfilling carreer, skills, doing shit you actually like, that's what will fix your life, not min/maxxing.

Based post.
I actually am 5'9, Lord of Manlets (not even a king). I still was able to achieve career goals, have hobbies, make friends with a lot of great people, and date/fuck some gorgeous women over the years. Once upon a time though I was a total sperg who needed to come out of my shell in the worst way. Once that happened and I started to get my shit together, I was fine. More than fine. However to listen to the autists on Jow Forums tell it, it was my height that was the problem the whole time, so why bother fixing anything? I'm really glad I didn't find this place in my young, vulnerable years.

Sounds like you havent slain the jewish dragon preventing your soul from healing. You must set out on a quest to find it then figure out how to gas it. Its the inly way. You are clearly depressed and are not yet dealing with the underlying cause

do you even lift?

I hate people like you, but I hate people like OP more. Your advice is more harmful than good
>I've been doing it for the past year >doing self improvement You're not improving yourself, you're just checking shit off of a list. Fix your mindset you whiny little faggot.

Self improvement fucking works man. Every year the quality and quantity of women interested in me increases. Also more men respect me.
But I did become a doctor and hit 1/2/3/4 at 25. I also read most classics and have learnt 2 languages in the time. Theres fake self improvement like reading self help and working out. And theres real self improvement, being an ambitious man and competing with the best.
I'm also a poorfag, most of my mates fell off or killed themselves
Mediocre mindset, having sex shouldn't be your ultimate goal. It's simply a by product of become the ideal man.
Guys like you spend all their money on socialising then get addicted to fentanyl

>Objectives, hobbies, friends, a fulfilling carreer, skills, doing shit you actually like, that's what will fix your life, not min/maxxing. >having sex shouldn't be your ultimate goal. mate, are you actually retarded? how did you possibly come to your conclusion based off what was written?
i wpuld like to point out that for people like us it is hard to find a lot putside of drugs once you get to a certain point with them. my reward system is fucked so i have accepted it may take years to find meaning outside of these stupid fucking plants and chemicals. yet i still want to take them, down to beer and weed now with 0.125gs per day already weighed out and 2 (just for tonight) then one beer set aside to get myself used to less and less. i hate myself (but im still a cocky/superior piece of shit)
Hunter Adams
Different guy, but I'll try to explain it. Posts like these are superficially insightful, but stop short of providing real, actionable advice. It's like telling a depressed person to just appreciate the things around them. And you probably think you're giving real advice, which the post does a good job projecting the illusion of, but I'll break down why that's merely an illusion.
>The problem is that you fags keep trying to rationalize things that are just natural behavior to a well adjusted human being (most likely due to autism). People who lack social intuition need to substitute rationality for it. If you aren't a normal person and things don't come naturally to you, then you need to strive for a rational understanding of intuitive behaviour. This will never be perfect, but it is better than the alternative of just accepting you suck. >You're a KHV because you don't socialize, don't get to know people, and even when you do, you try to rationalize it, instead of enjoying yourself and acting like a human. This is basically accurate. The problem is that it's not an issue that solves itself once you understand it. In fact, understanding the issue is actually antithetical to the problem of overanalyzing. A person cannot simply enjoy himself and act like a human if the energy does not exist. >Objectives, hobbies, friends, a fulfilling career, skills, doing shit you actually like, that what will fix your life All that stuff would fix an autist's life, just like owning a home and having some stocks that pay dividends would fix a homeless guy's life, as opposed to buying liquor and yelling at clouds. However, before he can even think about buying stock, it's necessary to fix the alcoholism and schizophrenia. And the reality is that even if he manages to quit drinking and gets professional help with his schizophrenia and manages it well, he will probably never be normal. He will probably never own stock.

Sure, I've got objectives that I'm working towards. >Finding a place to live in a new city >Getting my master's degree >Arranging my trip to Europe this summer But the thing is that none of these objectives really mean anything to me. They're simply tasks that I'm engaged in primarily out of a sense of obligation.
Sure, I've got hobbies that I participate in. >Lifting weights >Reading up on conspiracy theories >Improving my cooking I do these things, but I don't enjoy them very much. The don't bring me very much pleasure, not because they aren't worth my time, but because I don't feel any strong emotions at all. It isn't that I'm not engaged in my passions. I don't have any.
Sure, I've got people who call me their friend >My roommates and their social circles >My coworkers >My classmates But I don't feel any emotional connection to these people. Everyone I know could die and to me, it would only be an inconvenience.
I have a career that pays well and I don't hate >Graduate student at the moment >Consultant in the future >Have internship experience and know it would be a good fit for me But it doesn't bring me any satisfaction because I don't truly enjoy things the way others do. My sense of accomplishment is hollow.
The problem is that I don't like doing anything. I don't like people and I don't want to spend time around them. We don't operate on the same wavelength. I lack the social intuition they have and need to meticulously think my way through every interaction. When you're like this, thinking and analyzing constantly and always coming up short of people who didn't have to think at all, merely existing hurts. In my case, that's probably a schizophrenia-adjacent cluster A personality disorder. There's no treatment or therapy for this. No cure or medication. That's why I obsess over things like diet, exercise, probiotics, whatever strange min/maxxing I need to perform to transform myself into a semi-normal person.
James King
Have you tried /SIG/?
Camden Lopez
self improvement is getting a education, getting a good social circle of friends, spending your free time doing something you like, limiting vices, being financially responsible and keep your body healthy. This is Jow Forums i am just gonna guess you screwed the social part of it up and that is why you are miserable
Luke Kelly
You sound like an insufferable defeatist faggot, when you do finally neck yourself everyone around you will be better for it.
Nicholas Perry
so basically what you are saying is that there is no solution but accepting? because I knew this all along so you don't have to act like a smartass
Chase Williams
5'9 is reasonable user. Not really a manlet and even then, i don't see how it should matter. This "i need to be stronk cus i protec my ladie" is one of the most childish point of views there are. Because 99% of the time it's guys that think like this that have anger issues and provoke the fights themselves. The place those people deserve is not next to a gf in a bed, but in a prison cell.
