Unironically this is good advice. Admittedly I had a few things going in my early twenties, I’ve always had a large group of friends and took care of my health/looks, not because I ‘wanted’ to I guess, mainly just because I felt like it was the only thing I really had before absolute zero. Or at least something beneficial that I directly controlled. For years I travelled around with my parents’ money and linked up with women, friends, and new friends. But as soon as I turned 24 I think that’s when I felt my soul start to crush me. I never finished college, never once had a job, and I was totally reliant on the people around me for support. At that age I couldn’t get away from those thoughts, even when I was out enjoying my youth. It killed me to know those things, and it killed me to know that the only way out was to actually do something instead of being fearful or retarded.
I think the initial boost for me though was trying to change that way of thinking. Like anon said, I think loving yourself and respecting your past is a good start to transforming yourself. I spent the last half of being 24 job hunting and got one right before I turned 25. It felt like a demeaning job, but it also felt like progress, which is what I wanted. I went back into college and finished the degree I wanted, and about a year ago I started a career. Just because you’re out of your early twenties doesn’t mean you can’t start being social and get out there. Just do something now; mainly for your own health.
Also I would recommend working out and eating better if you don’t already, and if you’re able to. The animal part of your brain will get happy and you can kinda take advantage of that. Also maybe stay off the internet for a while.
