The motivation thread is open

Last week’s thread >>76212702

>>76239931 (OP)
Just hit my first weightloss platue, just when I was on the steady journey to get bellow 100 kilos. But I am not detered. I will continue as I'm doing now as I am starting to feel far more energised then a couple of weeks back, and will see what next weigh in will bring. Wagmi.

feel kind of down all of a sudden even though nothing in my life changed in fact everything is rock solid. finance is very good, job is more or less secure, I am healthy but I am starting to get these thoughts in my head that I am a loser even though I know that I am better off than most people. thank you for reading my gay blog.

I’m burnt out bros. I’ll be 30 in a few months. I’m the anon with the old guy co worker. I’ve had this job for about a year now. Can you believe that? I’ve been bitching and moaning about this old prick for a year now in this thread. He’s actually been fairly chill recently, I think someone talked to him.
The management at some of the stores we go to have been absolute shit eating faggots recently and I snapped a week ago. It’s just manchildren who cannot behave like adult men, I called them out on it and pointed out that I thought they were “retards” because (to the effect of) “you have children of your own and you’re risking your job by acting like little bitches that is literally stupid jeopardizing your kids. One of you was already fired for fucking with me you’re really fucking dumb.” They’ve fucked off and won’t even look me in the eye now. I’m still gonna report them probably if my boss calls me today to question why I’ve been out. They’ll probably give me today paid if I explain the harassment.
>been out
Old guy got me sick again. 3rd-4th time this year. I’m mostly better today but took today off since I have the excuse to do it, out of sick leave though so gonna miss a day of pay.
>burnt out
I’m just fucking burnt out. I’m over this job. The asshole islander management acting like hoes always having to run their mouth but never having the balls to talk their shit to my face (and immediately folding when I checked them), the old guy, being sick this often, the low pay, the commute, the hours. I’m exhausted.
I’m waiting to see if I’ll get an interview at a new job, if I get the interview then I get the job. It’s WFH, small pay increase, better hours. Just call support and similar to this job nothing I’d want to do forever but it could put me in the position to be way less stressed out and tired so I can find something better.


Trying to cut self some slack for taking today off but feel guilty over it.

>>76240182
>I’m just fucking burnt out. I’m over this job.
I can somehow relate to your story (I guess) even though I am a bit older (38). I am usually the one guy at work who takes most of the shit serious because I am literally paid to do so and I am there 8 1/2 hours anyway. The others are just milking the company dry by doing the bare minimum, most of the time they are even a net negative to not just the company but also me personally. They somehow don't understand that if everyone would just do their fair share of quality work life for everyone would be better. Also trust me, even if you change company (as long as you have to work with others) you will meet the same kind of people. They are everywhere no matter what company or hierarchy level you enter at. I needed to learn to distance myself mentally from work by reducing my dependence. Its probably different for most of us, for me it was a second financial income stream that gives me a certain "fuck u" attitude in terms of giving a fuck.

I just dont get it. I want to lose weight but when I diet I still gain little bits of weight (also building muscle). Im getting slimmer but there's scale fucks up my mental. Then my wife tells me I dont need to worry so much about my body because she loves my body how it looks now, but I just feel so fat mentally.

It doesnt help that im seeing minimal results in my diet, hard dieting turns me into an irritable asshat, and my wife keeps buttering me up and telling me I should eat more which has been working lately because im 32 and im too damn old to be crying over eating dinner or not so fuck it ill just eat and mope about it.

I dont know what to do anymore. Do I want to diet. Do I want to build strength. Do I want to be lean. Or do I keep a dad bod like my wife wants me to. Im so mentally conflicted but at least my lifts have gone up and I've sort of slimmed down even if my scale weight hasnt gone down. So whatever. Ate some extra food yesterday so im not even going to weigh myself this week or else id probably throw the scale through the bathroom window.

Im just going to lift and try to keep my meals moderate. If it works it works. If it doesnt it doesnt. Im fucking tired of telling myself ill diet and still wanting snacks or having my wife pressure me into eating. Its so damn exhausting

>>76240213
>the same people at any job
I do understand this very well I’ve seen it at past jobs it’s just it was mostly people closer to my age when I was 20. Now I’m seeing it come from dudes who are 35-45.
>new job
New job if I get it is WFH, only have to deal with callers. Which obviously I will deal with pissed off and annoying people but it’s way easier when it’s an individual I’ll never speak to again vs the same group of 5 retards every single day targeting you for no reason. When it’s the same faggots doing that shit it has a compounding effect where they get braver and braver. It’s that passive aggressive shit where they’ll talk their shit with you just within ear shot because they want you to hear but if you call them out they’ll immediately play victim and claim they did nothing and weren’t talking about you. And the longer you don’t say something the more they think they can get away with.


A job to me is a means to an end. I just wanna show up do what I gotta do and then get out and enjoy the limited time I have in this life.

>>76240021
sounds like the beginning of a spiritual crisis

>>76240230
My opinion is to keep it simple man one goal at a time. These are most important so choose one
>lean
Vs
>strength
Whichever you choose stick to that attain that goal and then focus on the other. If you go for strength first cool, set a real goal for that and while you work on it pay some attention to your body fat so you do not gain a bunch and have a harder time losing it after. Get your strength, then start a slow cut to keep strength do a lot of walking. Get lean, reassess what to do next.


Similar issue here looking leaner, clothes are way looser, just went through my second belt, but scale number is the same. It messes with my head. I know in a few weeks maybe another couple months I’ll weigh myself and suddenly I’ll be down another 15lbs.

>>76240021
You making progress on any goals lately? I always have to be accomplishing something, or I start to feel this way too. Can't just cruise on automatic, have to always be striving at least a small bit.

>>76240251
Financially I have been doing better but I know what you mean. Rest of my life kinda stagnated even though I reached a comfy life. I always had this naiv image in my mind that life would be "perfect" once I reached certain thresholds. Might have to push some things and stay occupied.

>>76240242
Thanks. I think thats true. I do need to choose between the two. At least for now. I'll think it over but out of the two, I think I still need to build some strength. I just started lifting heavy again so I want to set some PRs with my new routine.

I think watching my bodyfat is another good suggestion. I cant diet and hit PRs, but I could at least not turn into a total powershitter.

The scale is just so traumatizing. You can go a whole day of internally battling yourself to not eat extra food and the next morning you still gained .2lbs. Breaks my fucking heart everytime

>>76240267
If you have time and funds and everything else is going right how you want it, get a hobby where you're building or fixing something. Helps scratch that itch for me.

Of course, be sensible about what you pick. I'm sitting here drinking my coffee, looking at a land yacht that needs a new vinyl top, thinking fuck I don't want to do that, but I can't fix the floors and interior while the roof is still leaking.

>>76240230
>there's scale fucks up my mental
just don't weigh yourself, if you're getting slimmer what importance does the number have? Your eyes and the way your clothes fit are plenty to assess your progress

I WILL SUCCEED IN MY JOB
I WILL STUDY HARD FOR MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM
I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM NEXT WINTER

Work is going well, but it is a challenging endeavor. I’ve run into some road blocks already. I know that more will be expected from me in the future. Today is my first time meeting with my boss to go over my performance. I hope my meeting goes well.

The mountain looms before me. In 2 weeks I return to the climb. I’m anxious, I’ve failed before. Also I dread losing my free time and the pressure that will soon appear. But I’ve come far, I just need to go a little higher. The summit is within my sight, I need to remember how close I am. I set off on this journey for a reason, now I will cross that fine line. Whenever I feel distraught or upset, I must recall how close I am to finishing. I’m ready to pass.

Good luck this week frens! Remind yourself that the man you are today must brutally mog the man you were yesterday! WAGMI!

>>76240344
>if you're getting slimmer what importance does the number have
Im a monkey. Monkey see number go up, monkey sad. Monkey see number go down, Monkey happy. I know, its not necessarily true but im a fucking brainlet.

Im not going to weigh myself. Im going to diet and improve on my lifts. Set some goals and then work on cutting for next year.

>>76239931 (OP)
This anon swam this morning.

And I will lift tonight.

Tomorrow, I will do it again.

>>76240468
>Monkey see number go up, monkey sad
I can relate, that's why I'm suggesting to avoid the scale entirely (for a while). I don't weigh myself, just having to punch new holes in my belts tells me that my diet is working, but if I have one bad week I don't get to see a number that makes me beat myself down and instead I stay focused on my long term objectives

I am still a 24 year old virgin schizoid doomer. I am no longer a wagie.

My flight is in 3 days and I seem to be in denial over the reality of actually fucking off eastward for the next year or so. Long needed, long ass vacation. Maybe I'll check out Vietnam or Kazakhstan after I've been in Thailand a while. No idea what I will actually do once I run dry on funds, but I think I'll try working on a hentai VN in my free time and get better at drawing so I can maybe just geomaxx indefinitely. Maybe if I have special talent for kickboxing I could go that route? I'll at least try fighting a few times there.

My boxing coach complimented me on my great form. My defense is still dogshit but i hit like a truck.

>>76240234
>>76240182
I just did the numbers and I think the answer is getting this job. I would still be able to wake up early like at 4-5am and get a full nights sleep, have a solid 8 hours outside of work to myself to workout, get errands and chores done, to actually relax and do fun stuff.
Like seriously I could
>1-2 hours
Errands, chores
>1-2 hours
Exercise
>4 hours
Hobbies maybe have a social life study if I get into classes again

>>76239947
Stay strong! You’ve just hit a temporary road block. Now you need to find new ways to continue losing weight. Try eating a little less while moving around more. WAGMI

Week 5 of trying to get a job in STEM (embedded systems adjacent shit). Experience so far:
>4-5 rounds of interviews for a junior/interm positions (1-3yr experience)
>technical interviews never tell you what it's on, basically no prep rawdog midterm
>either women or lying / psycho sperg engineers interviewing
>Ran out of sick days, bullshit came up days etc at work
>Have 5 years experience in the industry through my 4.5 year degree by triple stacking research and technical clubs
>Ghosted at around round 2-3 usually, even when shit goes well and people look me in the eye, shake my hand and tell me that they'll get back to me regardless of outcome.
>Not a sperg, I try to be authentic and come off competent, 6'3, not fat, presentable.
Like yeah I have a job but it's pretty fucked out there for new grads even if you have an insane amount of experience, I literally couldn't have stuffed more shit into my degree. Getting pretty demoralized, I honestly wish they would just show me who mogged me out of a job so I feel motivated to push instead of give up.

>>76240929
>I honestly wish they would just show me who mogged me out of a job
more often than not it was likely someone with better connections than you

>>76240583
Keep at it anon!

My arms are getting bigger and I'm passing all my classes this term, wagmi.

I'm such a fucking asshole man I got into an argument with my mother over some bullshit and told her she's gonna die soon because she's old and there's nothing after death (she's 52 and religious herself). I'm 19 and even sometimes I have existential crisises
I just wanna fucking kill myself lol this is like the fourth time I told her that shit.

>>76241205
Fuck my lack of impulse man it's probably because I'm half black I'm too fucking emotional damn I just have a short ass fucking temper dawg.

>>76241205
I can't really comprehend the gravity of my son saying that. To me I'd probably just say "ok" and move on.
Personally I wouldn't get caught up in that. I don't know about you or another anons.
Just tell her you're sorry.

I've got so much stuff to do before moving abroad, I just wish I had the work visa already. Got no motivation to do stuff until I have that and things feel more real.

>>76241261
The reason it hurts is because I believe truly this is it. I don't wanna yap about it but yeah. This life is precious and it's so raw in the sense that there's no second try. Nature is unforgiving. Its hard for me to believe.
The fact is my mother's been through a lot. Grew up in the South with no running water. She sacrificed so much in her life. So much OF her life on raising me and my brother. If she were to die it'd be it.
I feel like I must respect this precious life as much as I can but the fact that I basically make fun of her time spent and time she'll never get back and her impending demise prove that I'm a piece of shit and should've been aborted desu.
This is like the fourth time I said it to her in an argument. I don't think she'll ever forgive me for this.
I mean shit like I'm 19 and sometimes I feel like I wasted my life.

>>76241210
...is your mother white anon?

>>76241299
No my mom's black and my dad was a midwestern white guy. The thing is tho the dude died and she's been single ever since which is why I think what I said hurts more because it amplifies the loneliness and dread that she's probably facing herself.
I don't care about race I just care about the people around me.

>>76241289
Fucks sake my mother even sends me videos of NDE and all that stuff. She's too precious.
The only one that can save me from this condition of despair is Jesus.
JESUS SAVE ME PLEASE!

>>76240655
It’s better that you’re trying to live rather than die. Enjoy your trip, you might learn something

i'm going back to basics

How do I ACTUALLY hit my abs hard?
I've done knew raises and leg raises to the limit of my flexibility (hard stretch on my hamstring every time I raise)

I feel nothing now. I need a REAL way to hit my abs hard man

>>76241618
Have you considered adding some weight?

>>76240657
Take the compliment, it shows that you have strengths! You can improve upon your weaknesses with enough practice

>>76241285
Good luck! Are you the anon moving to China?

>>76240182
lose a pound, dont drink, do more pushups, invest some money, train in new role at new job, stream retro games with son.

>>76242151
woops meant to reply to OP lol add learn to computer to the list

>>76241583
There’s nothing wrong with returning to the fundamentals. It’s better that you learn how to do things properly than continue fucking up

>reading about association of emotions
>feel better about myself
Crazy how that works

>>76242151
Those are all admirable goals! Good luck in your new job!

Update: meeting with my boss went well :D she said I’m on the right track

Today was hard but better than last week

I have no idea whats wrong. I just have no reason to do any working out. Used to lift all the time then switched to just muay thai for a few years but lately l just cant find a reason to bother.

>>76242280
Thanks for the reminder. I need to start to project a more positive image and be happier

What do you want to accomplish? Who do you want to be?

I almost got into my first fight over the weekend. He yelled at me first, I yelled back at him. I started walking away and he kept yelling at me (this is in a public park with kids and people everywhere btw). He started following me telling me he's going to beat my ass so I pulled out my phone and called the cops. He said that he knows I'm not actually calling anybody but the dumbfuck stayed there when the cops came and even waved at me when I pointed him out. There was another guy who also came to the cops and confirmed everything I said.

He was the typical skinnyfat soilennial but with how he kept egging me on I got the feeling that he was some martial arts fag or he had a weapon and was purposely trying to cause a "self defense" situation. I know he didn't get in trouble because it was just verbal but I hope I ruined his day more than he ruined mine. Shit made my stomach tight for the rest of the day.

>>76242720
I have no idea

>>76242614
Congrats bro! Everyone can tell that you're jacked :)

>>76240182
>I called them out on it and pointed out that I thought they were “retards” because (to the effect of) “you have children of your own and you’re risking your job by acting like little bitches that is literally stupid jeopardizing your kids. One of you was already fired for fucking with me you’re really fucking dumb.” They’ve fucked off and won’t even look me in the eye now.
I do want to say this is great character development on your part as it is becoming harder and harder to find genuine people who can give straight to the point criticisms and call people out on their flaws. Things have turned into a situation where people have gotten too used to making hyper-ironic, passive-aggressive, bitch-made comments and remarks. What I find funny is that playing their own game is easy and when you play it better than them, they get mad. If you call them out directly, they shutdown. Only time there is usually an exception is if they are some junkie ex-con who has nothing left to lose and usually 9/10 you can ID that person right away and avoid that interaction altogether. But yet you get these absolute faggots where it's like
>you were born into a middle class family, blake. don't try and act hard with me when you still think smoking weed is something cool, you faggot.

>>76241205
at first I thought you were a massive asshole but then I read

Matthew 7:24-27
King James Version
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

embrace the challenge and road blocks CFA anon! this difficulty will strengthen your mind and resolve. you have shown your ingenuity at the beginning of your role. draw on that same ingenuity to solve new problems you encounter. all the best with your performance review!

you have not let your anxiety get the best of you CFA anon and you have decided to tackle the level 3 CFA exam again, that takes courage and persistence. please also try to plan in some down time away from work and study. do nothing related to them and give your brain time to relax a bit. you're allowed to have that, it's important for your wellbeing! i am looking forward to hearing your journey on your second expedition towards that summit.

i just wrapped up the next big test (full day of assessment activities) in my teaching program application. i became less nervous as i warmed into the activities throughout the day. overall, i think i did so-so. nevertheless, it was a good experience to practice my teaching and collaborative skills. i did my best and the rest is beyond my control. i leave the rest up to the universe and fate. whatever happens, i will accept the outcome with good grace and make a decision accordingly.


p.s. apologies for not replying for last two weeks. i was sick last week. the previous week i went on some holidays and 4chan was blocked in that country (kek).

why were you yelling at a random dude at the park?

Bros I'm a 32 yo loser and I became friends with a girl for the first time in my life. Unfortunately she's married but she shines so brightly that I can feel my broken soul beginning to heal. My motivation to lift has renewed and life doesn't seem all that bad anymore.

fitbros... im serious
recently I feel so fucking down. like nothing I can do can lift my soul up. at least Ive been trying to stay in shape, exercise and eat within guidance etc... but I just don't feel like it's worth it. or that I'm worth anything. I think it's mostly because I'm such an unemployed loser and I just can't seem to love anyone, even myself. is this another thing I just gotta tough it out until it changes, or the longer I'm in this state the more likely I'm going to do some fatal shit?

I just want to stop being so hopeless and depressed. exercises do help but it's just momentarily

>What I find funny is that playing their own game is easy and when you play it better than them, they get mad
I was thinking about this this morning dreading dealing with more of this shit. It’s not even just that if you play it better, it’s if you have the audacity to play it at all. They start crying and get all pissy because you have the gal to do anything other than grin and bear their harassment. Idk if that’s the societal expectation but I’m not playing that game I’m doing shit how I want and that’s just too fuckin bad if everyone hates me for it. Oh fuckface mcislandercuck wants to run his fat fuck horse lipped mouth about me but doesn’t have the nuts to say any of it to my face? Cool let’s see how fast he starts crying when I do it back.
>sheltered pussies who have never been hit
That’s entirely the problem, these morons have a blatant lack of basic awareness of how things may go wrong. You never know who is comfortable getting physical, how little the other person has to lose how unhinged they may be what they’re going through. People who have grown up sheltered never having faced any accountability think everything is sweet and they never will face any repercussions. In my case it’s a bunch of bumbling idiot islanders who migrated here when young who are middle class and unironically think black = hard in some way yet they folded immediately when I bitch checked them. You know the type I’m describing, the tupacs but in reality they’re ballerinas.
And the sheer irony here is you can immediately tell they’re non confrontational when they act this way and how soft they are.
>crack heads
Yeah you can spot those ones a mile away they tend to be a bit more ballsy about it because they genuinely want a confrontation for whatever reason. The types of faggots we’re talking about like the islanders or Blake in your example do this then delude themselves into thinking they’re intimidating if someone doesn’t respond

I’m still sick. It’s been almost 2 weeks now. I have no sick time left or any PTO. I’m on an early break. I can’t do this shit. I feel horrible. Started getting chills again last night. Coughing my lungs out. Full of green mucus. Blew thick green snot out of nose for an hour this morning and coughed up just as much.
I really fucking hope I get this new job. I’m taking a month off if I get it I probably won’t even give a 2 week notice. I’m just so over all this shit.


Year ago I posted in here with some goals and I’ve hit them. Got a job, got savings built up a little, moved out (extreme luck), lost weight.
Now I need to move o to the next step. I have such a bad habit of stagnating maybe getting some forward motion then I’m afraid to venture out of that new comfort zone and fear losing progress. I need to get this job and take that next step

>>76244190
>Idk if that’s the societal expectation
What I've noticed is that your physical presence sets the initial tone and then how you act socially determines how people choose to respond and treat you. I'm 6'3" and half the time I meet men for a job or whatever they will say I'm jacked (half of the time those that say that immediately play the game of squeezing the shit out of your hand). But you know what nickname has stuck with me forever? Clark-fucking-Kent. I've always been able to carry myself properly and keep my emotions in check at work but I guess I'm supposed to be this dumb meathead instead. And like you said, the second I drop that persona and go, "Yo REALLY want me to play this petty social game?" suddenly everyone is pissed. It's gotten to a point that old men have advanced past the "I could lift that much back in the day (no I couldn't)" to straight-up playing a game of ass-grab where they try to show physical superiority over me.
>getting physical
It's fucking weird how to handle it. Outside of professional settings most people don't try anything outside of the crackheads mentioned earlier. At work when I'm trying to be professional? Everyone wants to try shit. And somehow reminding them "I wouldn't even piss on you in a car fire" upsets them. Why the fuck do people try to pull this shit in a place people already don't wanna be?

>>76243816
Who cares if she’s married? What matters is that she makes you happy and want to shine. Keep her in your life, she’ll help you grow. If you stay close with her, she’ll introduce you to her single friends

>>76243974
Hard work is worthless if you don’t believe in yourself. What do you admire in other people? Who do you want to become? If you can articulate those points, then you have a good idea about what to work on. You can never rewrite your past. You’ll always have flaws. But you can become a better version of yourself. If you learn to trust and believe in yourself, you’ll be able to find love in others

Had about 4 hours sleep it feels like and even though I've been up since 8am (4pm now), I STILL cannot properly wake up and shake that groggy feeling...

youre a shotabro?

hi!

>>76244205
Have you seen a doctor? If you’re still sick after 2 weeks, it’s obvious that you have a serious disease.

Congrats on hitting your goals! Sometimes you need to jump, even if you’re terrified of what comes next. Good luck on the job front, I hope you get it!

>>76244205

Go to the docrtor, retard, you need antibiotics

>>76244274
I’m 6’2” and it’s been the same experience the bone crusher handshake and all (sometimes you know to expect it and can do it back with a straight face but then things turn into a constant dick measuring contest).
The thing is for some people you get baseline normal levels of respect. That’s how it should be. If tall or jacked you will get respect from some people just for that but way too often you get insecure faglords feeling threatened and having to do this whole “wahh wahhhh wahhhhh im alpha my wife fucks other men so I’m threatened by you wahhh” game.
>physical at work
That’s the whole thing, these assholes still understand out on the streets how south shit could go to some degree. Do they think my shitty minimum wage job I never planned to be at for past a year and have been applying out of is protecting them? Do they not fucking realize if I play the same shit and play the job side of things some of these fucking retards have way more to lose like management positions making around six figs and stock options? Like in either instance I fucking win, either it goes physical and I cripple someone and then claim self defense or I lean into this safe because at work route and they lose what they’ve spent years working for and now their kids have to get a poor persons birthday.

>>76244033
Thanks for the advice. As long as I’m moving forward, I’ll grow stronger

>If tall or jacked you will get respect from some people just for that but way too often you get insecure faglords feeling threatened and having to do this whole “wahh wahhhh wahhhhh im alpha my wife fucks other men so I’m threatened by you wahhh” game.
Very much real. Part of me wonders if it has something to do with Tinder and whatnot making it well known that tall and jacked is what women prefer. Or maybe it had always been like that but I never noticed because I was too young to care.
>lose like management positions making around six figs and stock options?
To be fair, most management positions are obtained when people higher up realize you'll be their slave and/or through hardcore nepotism. I'd like to say things are merit based but with the current job market, as I'm sure you are aware, skills don't really matter in the long run. It's just a retarded game overall that for some reason people want to play when in reality, of everyone took responsibility, shit could be so piss easy whether you work blue or white collar.

>>76244502
There’s no shame in resting. Tomorrow will be better, you can actually make gains.
WAGMI no longer how long it takes

I’m contemplating not going in the rest of this week. I’ve already missed so much work from being sick, really I only missed a half day and then used my other sick day. But this week im already not getting paid for a day. I feel like shit. I’ve been having to work in freezers on top of being sick. I’ve been sweating inside freezers but on the edge of getting chills again. Just no energy and feel like garbage.
Idk. A single week wouldn’t hurt much but would be money from my savings, I’m beginning to think at this point it’s more so I just don’t want to go in anymore and I’m genuinely that burnt out. I haven’t even heard from the new job yet, just that getting hired is nearly guaranteed from my inside connection who sent his wife who sent her boss my resume. I need them to reach out and give me an interview. I secure my job and I’m out of this current one. Month off to chill, rest up get into new sleep schedule and regain my bearings.
Wish me luck bros
>>76245114
Shit could be pretty fuckin easy man. If everyone just did shit the right way companies would be damn near automated and a manager would basically just make schedules and open the building occasionally let the big boss know things are okay (which is all they’re supposed to do anyways) and businesses would run in some sort of almost robotic AI assembly line sort of fashion. But everyone wants to politic everyone wants to drag feet everyone wants drama and to do less than the bare minimum. How crazy is that, everyone does the bare minimum and shit would be incredibly efficient at most jobs

To the anon that recommended glowie books for autists. Thanks and fuck you

This book broke me as it made me more aware of certain behaviors that tell me what other people think.
>you said you were k with what i was doing but you sniffed and scratched your ear which tells me you're actually pissed and i don't know how to get off of this

>>76245520
I have that problem too
>talking with someone
>their body is pointing away from me, they don't make eye contact, no cues to continue talking
>become self conscious and stop initiating

>>76245472
Clearly the book didn't work well enough because hanging out is not a date, also just because you fuck once doesn't mean she's your gf or whatever.

>>76245570
I remember before reading the book I used to be what I could classify as a social retard aspie yet found more success in terms of relationships or so I thought. Like playing a video game naturally and thinking you're good until you try "the meta" and suck (or feel like you suck) more than before.

>>76245570
>>76245614
You think you're bad because you're aware of the meta

Anyone else really, really hate the additional attention and "accountability" that comes from improving in looks?

It fucking pisses me off man. I just want to be left alone.
No I don't want to hang out after work.
Yes my weekend is full.
Stop taking it personally.
Stop fucking crying.
Holy shit.

>>76245817
Well I'm naturally ugly so no, happy for u tho. Lots of anons mention growing bitter from the sudden shift of attention they get once they make it while still being the same person in their heads

>>76243220
I'm in the same position as you, almost the same age. But i'm making progress. You have to understand that the reality is not something you've built in your head (right now) - you're probably not as much of a terrible person as you think you are. But it all starts with a mindset, with some self-compassion. You either unfuck your life today (it's still possible) or give up and suffer forever, 30+ years in the future when it's too late to change anything you will look back at yourself in your 30s and say "holy FUCK i wish i did something with my life".

I'm not really in a position to do a pep talk because i'm not even halfway there, but i hate to see a man walking the same path as me suffer.

>>76245817
God I envy you. I wish I could make friends due to my looks. Maybe my problem is I only go to work and the gym

Smoking cigs might be bad for physical health but they help social/mental health. Life is all a balancing act.

>>76246217

cigarettes are so fucking bad for you with the chemicals in the tobacco it's insane

OK I'll admit it. I'm weak.
I keep thinking if I was in the early 1800s, even though I'm a lightskinned ass nigger mutt I'd be castrated and killed if I tried to do cool shit because for me like I like hiking and climbing mountains and stuff like that. I like doing weird wacky shit.
I just keep thinking my mother would probably want to see shot and even buckbroken by my father. I know it's fucking stupid. I think I'm cursed bro.
I need to castrate myself and then kill myself LOL.
I know it's pathetic I need to kill myself ASAP. I'm weak. Thankfully there's nothing after death.

>>76246304
>I like doing weird wacky shit

>>76246339
I don't consider those to be wacky but they're cool. I was just sayin. There are things I do though that are wacky.

>>76246304
>Thankfully there's nothing after death.
wrong, you're gonna go to hell unless you change
>>76246339
it's wacky for a nigger

>>76246351
Stop tormenting your innocent mother you retard

>>76246356
OK I'll bite. If hell exists I'm mostly likely just gonna have my soul burn temporarily and then it's just gone. Doesn't the bible say god only gives eternal life to those who believe in him? You don't burn eternally in hell. You burn for a period of time and then your soul is literally burnt out of existence. Just like that.
Hell is eternal but your soul isn't if you don't believe in god so therefore Im just gonna suffer for a little bit and then perish like I originally planned to.

>>76246356
There is no hell retard

>>76246381
no, you're gonna burn forever
but you can change it around

>>76246389
your proof or source?

Hi guys,

sorry I don't have much time to type out how it is currently going since I am busy.
But I just want to remind everyone who is already on the journey to remember where you started.
What you achieved already.
What you hoped to have in the past and how you maybe already surpassed that.
The road is still long (well it is infinite) but worth every step you make.

And also enjoy the /sig/ archive.
Hit random and the motivation and sig folder once a day and think about what you just read.
Think and live by it.

I believe in all of you.
Love you guys, have a nice day.

All I'm saying is, as a nigger mutt I don't see a future.
I mean I'm cursed for being black. Is that right?
Why shouldn't I believe that there's nothing? I'll just live a degenerate hedonistic life like my fully black male predecessors.
It just seems pointless.

>>76246419
You're an attentionwhore basing your identity on being le hecking self aware and wacky. Just get a trip so I can filter you already

>>76246429

>>76246429
You're just a whiny bitch.
I'm also black but I'm fully black. I'm Igbo Nigerian.
You can't expect external validation from others. What fruits are your self loathing accomplishing? Listen I understand that maybe you're self conscious about your race but you need to get a grip.
You have a brain. You're a rational man. You don't need to castrate yourself. You don't need to kill yourself.
Listen most people throughout human history had shit lives. They worked and toiled away for all their lives.
You live in the greatest country and yet you're not using your brain to build a satisfying and good life. Stop thinking about all the self pitying drivel and stop letting it get to your head. Man up.
Your self worth doesn't come from your race dude. There will always be racist people of any race. Don't let it get to your head.
Ffs go build a skill and connections instead of wasting your time whining.

For the first time, I think I'm gonna make it. Turned 30 this year. Have been consistently inconsistent with the diet and gym since I was 16. This is the first time I've stuck with it for 6 months to start a year. After spending half my life in the cycle of going hard for 2-3 months and undoing everything during the next 3-6, I'm wondering if I've broken out of it.
Worked my way up to 5x145 on the bench and 5x185 on the squat in April. Now down to 168lbs from 180 after a month of cutting. I think I'm going to make it to 155 which has been my goal...forever.

Gotta keep going.

Been just focusing on myself this past year but last night downloaded a dating app and posted some recent pictures of me where I have some gains and have gotten a ton of matches and girls are way more receptive to my messages now

Turns out the hard work is paying off. Gotta work harder

>>76246646
Congrats anon! You're making it!

>>76246641
What a loser.
Not the Nigerianon but imagine thinking that you don't have to suffer and respect Christ every single day in this life to make it.
Everyday is a constant improvement of yourself and you are honoring God every single day you work hard and improve yourself and improve your mind.
I don't give a crap about anything else. I want to go to Heaven and not Hell. That's it. I also want to take you and every other anon with me there. Life is too short for pleasure. Just live for God.

>>76246646
While I am happy for you, I can already tell you're screwed because of the amount of, "What are you..." questions. Women today do not have a personality. It gives them the ick.

>>76245410
You know what I've noticed on my fitness journey? 1) The whole "it's not a journey, it's a lifestyle is absolutely true and 2) when you become /fit/ things become so much better mentally. Like, I might wakeup in a pissy mood but some eggs, olive oil, and sweet potatoes make me feel like a goddamn kid again. Everything makes me feel happy. Everything is nice. Everything sounds fun to do. UNTIL you are forced to interact with the average normalfag who is an unhealthy POS. I've been in those periods where I binge on junk food for several days without the gym and every time I feel like shit and hate myself and everyone around me.

To me it makes so much more sense when you realize things would be much better if we had a population that was actually in shape. You don't even need everything to be organic, just a population that enjoys chicken and rice more than McDonald's. Yet it can't happen because most people lack the will power to eat healthy, let alone get in shape.

It makes no sense to me why people act like fags like this because I can't imagine the perspective of someone who enjoys smoking ciggies on the regular and having his entire daily diet consist of some Cheez-Its and maybe a Slim-Jim and store PBJ.

But I think the absolute worst part of it all is how these same people will delude themselves into thinking that this shit is somehow better than getting fit.
>nah dude, i love constant shit talking that is the result of my shitty mindset that is a result of my shitty lifestyle. it's so much fun having to wear a shirt in the pool

>>76243220
If you have nothing to be proud of then you have to create things to be proud of, not matter how small those things are. Did you go to bed when you told yourself you were going to go to bed? Did you get out of bed when you told yourself you were going to get out of bed? Are you clean? Are you groomed? Are your clothes clean? Is your living space clean? Did you do what you told yourself you were going to do today or did you lie to yourself?

>>76246028
See that's the thing, these people aren't friends, they're normalfags that crave drama and found a new toy for their drama farms.
That's all this is about just drama, drama, drama because their boring little lives have little else to them besides gossip and rumors like they're fucking teenagers.
>>76245849
Yeah I heard that a lot too but for me it goes the opposite way, it's like "Go back to ignoring me, please".
Also, I thought I was "naturally ugly" but cleaning up and getting fit does wonders for how others see you and how you see yourself.

Attractive girls have told me some days they want to be looked at (just needed that little ego boost) and other days they want to be ignored (because they got shit to do/going through some shit and just want to be left alone).

Are cigars really that weird of a thing to smoke? I like to have one at the bars once in a while with my friends, and randos have even asked to share a cigar with me before, but I've increasingly gotten snide comments about them over the years.

The main nigger got a promotion. Sent to different store. On one hand he’s out of my hair. On the other I feel a bit annoyed. Like he’s been rewarded for treating me how he has the last year.
I want to report him, I want him to get in trouble or fired and I want him to know I did it. I want to know he’s suffering and to know he knows I made it happen.
But at the same time is it worth it? Am I just acting on emotions? Does that make me as cowardly as he is? Is it better to just assume he will treat someone else this way who will either report him and fuck him over, or perhaps he’ll do it to someone with far less to lose who is more unhinged than I am who will hurt him. Idk. I know it’s not right that he gets promoted. I know it’s tempting knowing I could get him fired easily. He is a pussy but that just means he’s the type to have someone else retaliate for him.
Thinking maybe I just find his new store and go in to cause issues when im bored and want to entertain myself at his expense as he’s done to me
Hopefully I get my new job soon. I am definitely over this job. Sick as hell spending the week working in fucked up freezers for 10 hours a day…

Thank you for the post, sigAnon. I’ve come so far on my journey and have learned so much. But there’s still so much more I need to accomplish.

I’ll follow your directions.

Have a great day :)

>>76246469
Congrats bro! You’re close to making it, stick with it and keep pushing forward

>>76247217
Good luck! You’ll be a man again before you know it

The company I work at keeps trying to push me into management, but I don't know if I want that. The managers deal with bullshit constantly, and I'm content with my current low stress position, but it could be an interesting experience and a decent pay raise. Should I go for it or stay in my lane?

>>76249320
Getting pushed into management just means the same work but you also gotta make sure everyone is doing their work too because that falls on you

At least until you figure out how to make everyone do everything for you, then you climb the ladder fast.

>>76239931 (OP)
Mandatory in-office days. Cornered the CEO and autismo-ranted at him for 15 minutes about my projects that I want the company to fund.
By god, I'll either get them approved and get paid or just do it for myself and start a content channel about them and get paid that way.

>>76249345
Sounds like I should stay away from management. I don't know if I have the charisma to make people want to go above and beyond for their job

>>76248468
I need to return to doing those every morning. The first thing I used to do when I woke up was repeat my daily affirmations. Thanks

>>76249320
>Should I go for it or stay in my lane?
I had the same thing happen to me. Got pushed into management, hated it. Wanted to go back but was told I couldn't. After a few months of shit I quit the job.

>>76249350
Do it yourself during your free time. If your boss approves, then you can get paid to work on it. Good luck!

>>76248358
I ended up taking a page out of this fucks playbook and started doing it all back. In passing I’ve said
>loser
>oh now he’s all quiet
>punk
>dirty pussy (said in his own language)
>wow I guess they just give anyone promotions here hahahaha
He can’t even look me in the eye.
Is this dumb? Yes, in that what’s even the point. Does it make me happy? Yes. He had way more to lose than me and he knows it. If I were to get fired I lose a job I hate that makes a hair above minimum wage which im trying to leave anyways. He loses a decent salary, stock, time etc.
He either has to keep his head down and take the same shit he’s been dishing out for the last year or he can choose to try and get me in trouble and then I’ll just submit all the shit he’s done to me and it becomes “leadership held to lower standard than bottom barrel employee” or “recently promoted leadership has harassed employee for so long he has no choice but of defend himself now” which all just means “we don’t wanna get sued”
I win no matter what.

>>76249548
I also had this experience more or less. Started what was supposed to be a very chill job. Company started growing rapidly. I had to train people and run everything. Realized I was doing 80% of managerial work so told boss to just make me the manager and give me my pay raise. He did that. It sucked. Overglrofied baby sitter. Still all the same work, but now you have to answer for any employees fucking up. Oh and you never truly get any days off because employees will be fucking up often. And unless the company is semi prestigious the difference in pay isn’t worth it.
I also after months found out the boss was paying people I hired more than me. I want to be very clear.
I built this fags business from the ground up, I was the manager by title (business runner by fact) but he secretly started paying employees I found and hired more than me for no real reason. And tried to play dick pull with me when I demanded a genuine wage then got all pissy when he lost that game. It’s just not worth it. It’s not difficult it’s just gay for no reason and doesn’t need to be.
Only worth if
>30% pay increase within 3 years

>>76249776
>Overglrofied baby sitter
That's been my experience managing people as well. It doesn't matter if they're 18,38 or 58, people still act like they're in high school and can't be accountable for anything. It's always your fault that "you didn't show them" how to do something properly or why they can't just do their job instead of sitting around on their phones or talking to people, which I'm normally fine with as long as you're working and talking but some people can't do both.

I currently smoke cigarettes because I am moving soon and choose as healthy an option as I can. I was actually looking into getting my own rolling machine to have my choice of tobacco to load but moving abroad in a couple months.

Much like fine wines cigars are predisposed to being considered a "refined" intoxicant that someone with class has and you aren't doing just to get fucked up or for convenience like a cigarette.

By the end of the summer i WILL get a girlfriend... my first girlfriend at a tender and young age of 34 years old!

I will agree with this as well. I don't know what industry you were/are in but for me it was trades. Trying to work with trade niggers directly in the field is a Hell of its own but to manage them? You'll turn into an alcoholic. Even worse when the office is swarming with the tards who can't even make a basic bitch Excel table let alone tell you how half the fucking software in the office works.
>can you make this happen, mr. magic-man anon?
>no i cannot because of x, y, and z
>...wull... can you try?
>ok here you go. this is the best i could do
>...wull... can you make it happen like i originally asked?
Every fucking day I wanted to strangle these retards. Keep the Mexicans, imports the Jeets. Anything to remove the current line of boomers and their boomer ilk

What are your favorite arms exercises? I've realized I need to grow my biceps and triceps on my Push and Pull days to become aesthetic

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I was told that I’m on the right track, so I’ll view my progress so far as positive. I need to hone in on my work and succeed.

I’m anxious about ascending the mountain again. But I can’t allow my doubt to cloud the path towards the summit. I have the strength to climb up, I just need to believe in myself and my steps forward. You are correct, I will carve out time to decompress. Besides going to the gym, I’m thinking of learning either how to draw or to play the bass. I’ll be sure to update you every week on my journey :)

You did your best, you should have no regrets about your performance. The fact that you settled in shows that you probably did well. In any case, there’s no use in tearing yourself apart over something that already happened. You’ve learned so much about yourself and teaching so far. You’ll only improve as you continue. If the worst case scenario does occur, you can always try again

I’m glad you’re back. /MIS/ needs people to share their dreams and improvement.

Oh shit oh fuck my flight is tomorrow and I feel egregiously unprepared, how will I pull this off, fuck

You can do it! Keep pushing forward. It’s pretty impressive that you can pr every week. However, there’s no shame in taking a rest day or a deload week if you’re struggling. Good luck!

cool down for a moment
write down what you will need, makea list
complete the list
double check at the end

>go out to lunch with coworkers
>all of them talk about their cool vacation and weekend plans
>realize that all I do is work/study/go to the gym
>lack the money to go on a cool vacation
>even if I did, I'd go alone
>also I don't dress as well as them
how are they able to do so much cool stuff? I'm exhausted and don't have the funds to enjoy life. I know I'm making responsible decisions through studying for a better job and saving money. But I still feel disheartened. I thought my 20s would be cooler

you mean you are jacking off to old-fashioned men rather than buff zoomer faggots

>>76242614
put this in the mire thread you fool we all need motivation

>>76252882
Good luck bro! Breathe in and breathe out, you can do it!

Anon your coworkers make the same as you, they're fucking drowning in debt to project an image. It's called status anxiety, be glad your head is not so far up your ass you'll sell a kidney so people who don't think of you the moment you're not actively talking to them don't think you're poor.
>even if I did, I'd go alone
I went to Switzerland with a friend and we ended up splitting halfway through the trip because we got tired of each other's shit. It was so much more fun to do what you want at your own pace
