So user, it's been awhile since we last talked... how are things?

Thanks for asking, two years ago I was in fantastic sexy shape. Then I got depressed and fat because I still didnt have the courage to approach women, even those who were clearly into me. I would say im 30% back in shape and im working really fucking hard on my diet. Like right now its late and I should NOT eat but my stomach is groling. Maybe ill have some fruit. Also been going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week, its hard with a full time job but im trying to increase to 4. It makes me feel incredibly productive.

Same old. Still a NEETfag. Some success here and there in some artistic pursuits. Went to the gym came back and drank beer and watch a kino. How is you?

I'm sorry to hear that. Losing a pet and a loved one is really hard, sometimes it takes years to get over those things. I myself never got over 'the one that got away' so I can relate. It's hard. I hope you keep persevering.. it's our greatest strength and provides the greatest reward. Keep pushing forward, I believe in you! I really do.

Good job for recognizing you were falling off the horse and for getting back on it. That is the hardest part. Doing the workouts and eating clean is one thing, but actually doing it consistently is tough if you fall into a rut. I have struggled with dieting before once, and I know exactly that feeling of hunger late at night. Sometimes a nice jog and some water helps alleviate that. It's a mental battle for sure. One thing I've learned is that even just doing something is better than nothing, so even 3 times a week is better than none. It's better to go 3 times a week for the entire year than it is 4 times a week for 4 months. It's all about building progress and habits we can maintain. Keep up the good work user.

That is good to hear! what kind of art do you create?

I myself am actually not doing too great which is why I created this thread, it makes me feel better to connect and help others when I am feeling down. I'm currently struggling with a lack of passion for my life direction and loneliness if I am being completely honest, which is not only common, but something I think all humans go through in this modern world. So I like to help and talk to others in these times because it makes me feel more grounded. What kino did you end up watching?

I have sat in my room with everything I need to make my art for months, but have no art, and nothing else to show for it.

It's been alright, have been drinking alot, though

well you are a good person for taking care of your parents, that is why they love you and still support you
be nice to yourself, things don't happen overnight
you don't have to feel like a parasite, because you aren't
what kind of art do you like to create?

thanks pal youre nice. One thing about weight and health is im gonna try to learn from my mistakes, socially speaking. I knew at least 5 girls wanted my dick when I was in good shape, but I was so fucking neurotic and really had no reason at all to be. This time I will force confidence out of me, I usually can by just imagening what the girl is seeing and trying my hardest to act like a guy clint eastwood would play or something. Like I recognize the mental trap I played on myself that led to this rut, idk if getting a hot gf wil exactly overcome it but we can all hope. Thanks

I want to thank you, user, for encouraging me (if you're the same one, idk exactly) in my struggles.

I think I've grown more confident in my drawing skills. You were right. I shouldn't apply myself too incessantly, and just accept days off. Sometimes I feel lazy by not drawing, but I guess I have to live with it. I can't repay you enough.

Really great honestly. Got a promotion at work with a raise too. Had a minor surgery, but now after two weeks it's healed and I can go back to gym and gf is applying for university. The last year has been amazing

thanks for nice words. We had a really bad childhood so they are constantly apologizing and trying to make up. Which is exactly the wrong kind of thing I need to hear when I have no accountability and no progress in the things I want to do.

If I applied myself I could probably make a whole animation by myself but instead of watching tutorials I keep coming to this website and shitposting while the time passes by.

yeah everything about life is live and learn as cliche as it sounds. its okay to make mistakes, that is how we learn. you seem to have an idea of what it is you want and how to get there so you just have to navigate that path. forcing confidence can work, but much like luck, it comes with proper prep so if you do everything you need to do, you won't need to force anything, it will just naturally emanate from you because you know you did what you needed to do

mental traps are what you call them, traps, we just have to learn to avoid them and how to get ourselves out when they catch us.

You will get it, just keep moving forward.

Life is a eternal struggle, we all need some encouragement sometimes. Is that pic you posted something you drew? If so, you definitely have a talent for drawing. Just keep working it and be measured, know that nothing is going to change over night. baby steps. All good things come with time. Keep at it.

That is great news user.. I am very happy for you! Keep doing you. It will only get better.

You know its okay if you aren't competent in something that you want to do .. and maybe 3d art isn't something you want to do for the rest of your life, but if its something you want to do now, its okay to be mediocre at it. It's very rare to be good at something right off the start. Just be measured and try to be realistic with your progress. As for you bad childhood, I'm sorry to hear that... It seems like your parents realized what they have done and feel bad. Have you tried talking to them about it? I know that is a difficult conversation and not easy to just stat into, so I wouldn't blame you if you haven't. A parents love for a child is unmeasurable and clearly you parents love you and feel bad for how things went. At the end of the day we have to learn to forgive, love and move forward. I would keep trying to stay close to your parents, they clearly love you and believe in you. As should you.

what is creed 2?

>feels thread on Jow Forums
>post long responses
>suddenly deleted by a retard mod
I hate those faggots.

Sorry to hear that. I like Jow Forums alot though I think alot of posters there are good people

you can post the response here if you'd like

The picture's mine, thanks. I just didn't put a time-stamp on it because I'm using it for something else (here's one of my previous works, though).

I guess it's a little conceited, though, but I have wanted to be admired for my work. It's not my motivation, of course, but sometimes it's hard to do something nobody's there to support you, you know? Maybe that's just vanity.

Anyways, thanks.

>ex is a liar, cheater, con artist bitch
>still can't get over her
Fuck my life

well I think the trouble is we live in such a connected world where the ones who are outliers (highly successful, highly talented) are considered 'the norm' when in reality they are far far above the norm

I think in a 'normal' world your art would be 'normally' recognized as what it is, very good!

So please keep drawing, keep improving your skills. I'm not an artist so I can understand how some support would go a long way. I don't think it's vanity, it's normal to want others to support something you work hard on and put effort into.

Keep doing you user, keep drawing and keep improving, the only direction you can go from here is up!

I'm sorry to hear that user. Getting cheated on is extremely painful and can take years to get over... how did it happen?

Well she was on Tinder before the relationship ended and has cheated on other partners before so I'm guessing the same thing would have happened here.

God Bless you, user. I'm touched. I hope things go very well for you, too.

that is rough, how long were you guys together?
Regardless getting cheated on is very difficult no matter how long you were together

We are all going to make it user, one way or another. I hope the very best for you, I will be here (I browse this board alot) if you ever need to talk. Keep up the good work and keep believing in yourself, I believe in you and I wouldn't lie to you if your drawings were shit (They aren't)

I wish I was guts berserk

Things are okay. I'm starting to talk to girls now and have manged to get a few conversations online with two. Yeah I know "better late than never." It's tough, not just because I have no idea what I'm doing, but because my life has been such an emotional vacuum I get teary eyed over them being kind or saying nice things to me.
