Thread 76815813

It's the start of the week again, take a deep breath in, hold it and exhale

Were you thinking of giving up today? No you weren't. You made it through last week, you'll make it through this one as well

What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.

Take a deep breath, hold it and exhale, move at your own pace

We're ALL gonna make it

The motivation thread is open

Last week’s thread >>76768326

>>76815813 (OP)
Tomorrow it's my first day of work at a local Burger King. First job. I'm 28...a lot of failure and bad decisions before.I hope there's still hope.

>>76815813 (OP)
You recognize doom easily. It's a feeling and a taste, and it's black, and it's very heavy. It comes down over your head, and wraps its tentacles around you, and sinks its long dirty fingernails into your heart. It has the stink of burning flesh and the sight of dread.

I am still a 24 year old virgin traveling the world. I have good news and bad news this time.

The good news is that for the first time ever, I'm starting to see my abs pop through the flab and the v lines beginning to form at the lower abdomen. I am motivated now more than ever to see this goal of mine through and get properly lean and see my body at low double digits. I might be twinkisu, but I think I've enough muscle to look good. I've never looksmaxxed fully before and I figured I might as well do it now in this transitory state of my travels while I'm keeping total expenses low. I know socialization is important, but I really think I'd experience a different level of life if I polished myself a bit, which would make social stuff easier too.

Bad news is I've gone full pothead degen and have been smoking much more regularly of late. I don't let it affect my gym stuff much, but it's retarded and costs me productivity on literally anything else. I'm literally going to smoke after I hit send on this. Addiction isn't fun.

>32
>newly single
>fed up of my job but don't know what I will do without it
>spend most of my salary on beer
>I like a girl but I'm too scared to start a conversation with her because we haven't spoken for 7 years
Life wasn't supposed to be like this. I'm not necessarily depressed I'm just discontent

>>76815971
you're not letting yourself get depressed because you're drowning it in beer.
by next week i want you to tell us that you sent a message to that girl saying "hey i was thinking about ____ and it reminded me of you. how you been?"

I need to start flossing every night

today's lifts
>3 second pause bench 3x5 @ 225
>incline db bench 3x9 @ 80s + db row 3x10 (plus a little extra) @ 120s
>lat pulldowns 5x10 ascending weights
Thrilled with the db rows, for the first time I didn't have any drops at this weight, usually my left side dies on the last set and I have to come back for the lost reps after doing the right side
Also decided to cheat the last leg of the superset by resting after the db press to see how far I could push the rows, got 12 reps with the left arm and 15 with the right arm
Guess I'm ready for 125 next time, which I've never done and is the heaviest dumbbell in my gym
Picrel because I made the mistake of cutting through the freezer aisle at Shartmart, I stayed strong but now I can't stop craving these and you have to be tortured by them as well

Had a great week last week.

This weeks goals

Fitness
>Bench 135 3x5
>Squat 155 3x5
>OHP 95 3x5

Self improvement
>No porn all week, no fap
>Get out of the house 3 days this week
>No THC 3 days this week

Financial
>Buy $2K in equities
>Make an additional principal payment on mortgage
>Review cashflow against my predefined monthly budget and allocation goals

Last week I went noporn, nofap, and 4 days without weed and I felt amazing. I lapsed yesterday and looked at porn. I can stop myself from spiraling by simply telling myself that I only need to go *today* without it. Then build once that is done - one day at a time.

Last week I've been trying the crowpose as a practice for a handstand in the future.
At first it was very hard, had a bad form but I've managed to hold the pose in bad form. Trying a better form resulted in instability and falling over.
And the end of the week my form was getting better and I was able to hold it for a little bit longer. There is progress being made. I'm hoping that I can do a good crowpose and hold it for at least 10 seconds at the end of this week before making another step into the handstand.

I'm on a strict diet because I'm fat again and I can't tell if it's the depression or the diet but I didn't get much accomplished today. It feels bad even though I know I should relax with my free time when I can. No job at 29 and haven't been employed for a few years now, everyone brushes me aside and I don't know what to do. I can't rest unless I've been productive enough and right now I'm just waiting myself out until I'm tired enough to fall asleep. I just need to make enough money to get by so my grandma can stop worrying about me.

>>76816024
>"hey i was thinking about ____ and it reminded me of you. how you been?"
I know you're right and I should listen to you but it's much easier to not do and just convince myself that the right time will come at some point, FUCK

>>76815813 (OP)
What's with the influx of blackpill and /r9k/ shit today? It feels way worse than usual. Is it a day off in Punjab, or something?

I hate threads like this. How about you stop being gay?

>>76816195
just do it faggot

>>76816256
Even this won't avoid criticism. People will critique your inactivity and lack of personality.

>>76815820
we all gotta start somewhere bro, I read another post about a brony guy who was a shut-in till 40 then married and had a kid.

WAGMI bro. have hope, do what's best for your future self. and get /FIT/

it was an exhausting week. on the plus side of it, i got through it, got my workouts in, would have been easy to let myself get away without doing one or two days but i just knew if i started that, i'd let things slide. ended up treadmilling it because of the bad weather and timing, but got a nice run outside on saturday. not looking forward to when the snow or ice forces me to run indoors but it should help me finish up accessory lifts and make the other days shorter.
reaching my breaking point at work. indians are shamelessly taking over and breaking shit and even the onshore teams are sick of trying to reign them in. ive been trying to interview for jobs that could get me a big pay bump but i think i'm going to have to settle for a minor one if i dont get any action before the new year. i keep trying to do these paid consulting surveys but they're mostly a waste of time because they're so fucking narrow that i'll get ten minutes in before getting disqualified (for no money).
got the budget project mostly done, need to build out some views but the cool thing with google's AI is that you don't need to do much for something that basic.
i dunno, survived last week is kinda the only thing i can think. this week i want to work more on the meal prep guide, read more into this side project im doing with my father in law, and start getting some christmas shopping together.
also on the lifting front, moving to smaller plates on bench (2.5 pounds a week) so i can still make some progress without dying.

>>76815820
you didn't kill yourself so there's still hope.

>>76816329
i also want to reduce non-work screen time to maybe an hour a day tops after today.

>confess my feelings to a girl I like
>she likes me back
>she's a month younger than me
>asks her if she wants to date
>says she's not sure since she's never dated in 28 years of her life
>i say, why don't we try to figure it out together?
>says 'great'
I guess we're dating? But I'm so used to having conversations constantly with someone I'm dating, it's kinda giving me a whiplash her being so chill. Then again the last time I dated was 4 years ago and she was like 5 years younger than me.
That said, I'm gonna go back to the gym again tomorrow. Had been off for a week due to things being busy with life, with me going up and down.

I WILL FINISH UP MY WORK THIS WEEK
I WILL STUDY HARD
I WILL PASS MY LEVEL 3 CFA EXAM IN JANUARY

There’s only a little bit of work remaining for this filing period. I’m doing much better than last cycle but I’ve still struggled a bit. I guess this job is a continuous process of learning and realizing how much more there is. If I work hard this week, I can finish this project before the deadline. I need to lock in so I can succeed. I have the capabilities to make it.

I’m continuing to review previous content. This time the material seems much more manageable. But I can’t get lazy, I need to work hard every day until the test to succeed. I’ll begin taking mock exams in December. Then I’ll have a much better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. I’m nervous but excited about finishing this program. I’m ready to make it!

Best of luck on your journeys frens! We have the skills necessary to succeed! Make everyday count so you can make it to your destination. WAGMI!

>>76815813 (OP)
I finished digging swales like picrel into the backyard over the weekend and planted clover as a cover crop. Hopefully next year I won't have to use as much water for my garden. Gardening with only hand tools is great fitness, and growing my own pesticide free food has made all my cooking taste way better. Slowly, but surely I'm making my house more self-sufficient.

>have a bad relationship
>see infidelity in my family
>get detached
>sleep around with genuinely 100+ women over 4 years
>finally bond with some girl
>we date for two weeks
>she says she loves me, want a tattoo i have, marriage, etc
>breaks it off with me because i said men and women cant really be friends

I think she was avoidant. My head is all over. It's been a month but I've never been broken up with. It's been a constant loop.

>dont look at her socials for two days
>pray
>start seeing everything ive been fucking up
>get new direction in life
>start to see clarity
i still fold and look at socials and fuck up but this might of been what I genuinely needed anons. I haven't felt this clear in a long time. God taketh and God gives. What a fucking rollercoaster.

We're all gonna make it.

I've unfortunately gotten to the point with fitness where I'm constantly checking my body for proof of my efforts and it's been pretty bad for my spirit. I'm banning myself from looking in big mirrors for at least the next 3 months. I'm going to measure my progress with how consistent I am in the gym instead of how my body looks. If I stick to my routines, the results are sure to come. I'll ignore the noise and stay focused!

No Nut November

>>76816371
Happy for you, anon. I hope it all goes well. I often forget that there are females out there who aren't awful, promiscuous people.

>>76816456
Thanks man. Pray for me though, I'll need a lot of patience because I think she may actually be little autistic.

>>76816503
>I think she may actually be little autistic.
I'm jealous

>>76816302
>>76816335
I'm quite /FIT/ yes, nothing spectacular but I can bench 80 kgs and run 10 km under an hour. At least the last few years I kept in shape. Thanks guys WAGMI

>>76815889
Congrats on the abs! Keep on grinding until you get a body you can be proud of! As for the weed, it’s a step in the right direction that you’ve acknowledged that you gave a problem. Try to reduce your intake and eventually quit it all together. Drugs will ruin you

>>76816132
You did well last week and will do even better this week. Take it one day at a time, you’re creating something great :)

>>76816138
Good luck! You’ve already made a lot of progress

>>76816142
Honestly you sound depressed for many reasons, not just because you’re cutting. Frame what you’re going through as an act of self improvement. If the source of your stress is also lack of productivity, take active steps towards getting a job. Even if it’s a small job, it’s a step in the right direction

>>76816329
Don’t lower your standards for work too much. As long as you’re employed, you have work and value. Even though your current job sucks, it’s not worth it to lower yourself just to escape it. Keep applying until you get something better

On the bus today and this cute girl looked at an empty seat next to this one guy, then looked at the empty seat next to me and sat next to me despite being closer to the other guy. Small win today.

>>76817139
She felt safer next to you, absolutely a win

>>76815813 (OP)
Just added 5lbs to my bench press today. A little more and I'm officially stronger than I was in my 20's. Hitting numbers that I can't cope my way out of on all my lifts with some kind of "oh, well, you probably could have done that already" after 20 years of letting shit slide. Feelsgoodman.

>>76816429
Good job! You’re building something tangible that will pay dividends for years

May as well post here since it's been a long time.
On the upside: Got a job, got a gf. Moved to a big city on my own, found a job and a place, but lost the gf. Still met an old buddy again.
On the downside: Lost all my gainz because this was time-consuming, have less money, relapsed to porn yesterday. Shit is like cocaine to me...and it really makes my self-esteem go to zero. I stayed off for more than four months before and stopped counting at some point. The benefits were insane, even if it was just all in my mind.
I NEED to avoid falling into the trap again but I know I always get high libido after watching.

>>76815813 (OP)
>What are your goals for this week? What do you plan to achieve? List it all down.
Lift 3 days and cardio 3 days (bench at least 205lbs)
Finish the cover letter and prepare for career fair
Get out of the house and talk to a new stranger everyday
Figure out the details of my career path
Actually practice guitar or draw, haven't done either in a while. Still fat, too. Have another ~15lbs to lose before the end of the year

>>76815820
good luck anon, I'm starting on the 12th

>>76816433
That’s a rough wake up call but it’s good that you finally know what you want. Hopefully now you can start chartering the path that you want to take. God has a plan for all of us, we need to trust the process.

We’re all gonna make it!

>>76816441
That’s the spirit! Don’t let your body distract you from what you’re building! If you keep putting in the effort, eventually you’ll make it!

>>76816624
so you're in decent shape by normie standards, especially in terms of cardio. Good luck at this job and remember to smile! WAGMI!

>>76817209
Great job! It's impressive that you're hitting new PRs in your 30s. I'm 28 and starting to fear slowing down. I guess the best is yet to come for us

My start up continues to develop at a steady pace. Even though I guess I'm a bit wary of competition, I'm pushing through.
If this one doesn't work out, the next one will.
I WILL build a successful enterprise.
I don't seem to have the gumption or wherewithal to gainsmax, so I've decided to ambitionmax in the hope of moneymaxing.

>>76817707
I'm 45 actually. I know a lot of people that talk about slowing down and joints hurting, and honestly I feel none of that. I've struggled to lose weight because I'm not willing to sacrifice social time to be strict enough, but I've been fairly active all along and feel fine. I let the strength slide too much trying to get lean, and ended up unable to keep weight off if I did lose it because I had lost all my lean mass. Now trying to just recomp instead and honestly having the best gains of my life.

Just keep at it, and the slowdown will be a long time catching up to you.

>Hit deadlift PR
>Favourite wrestlers won belts
Today was a good Monday

>>76817291
Congrats on the progress you have made! Getting a job is a massive accomplishment these days! You've fallen off the horse, but you can get back in the saddle. Remember the old tactics you used to quit previously. You can do it

first time here, I wish everyone a good week

weekly goals (5 day schedule with the weekend acting both as buffer days if life happens and I skip some tasks and just relaxing/enjoying life)
follow my weekly routine:
>uni coursework, prepare for exams
>read whatever books I want to read, non fiction (history atm) and fiction
>fitness: calisthenics at the park, don't forget legs
>keep eating well
>self-improvement: keep learning and improving in whatever I'm passionate about and that's also related to my studies
>keep the sleeping schedule in check

notes/areas of improvement:
>reduce shitposting and screentime in general to a minimum
yesterday I spent the whole day doing essentially nothing, can't remember one good thing about it
I have been much more out-going than ever before, I also picked up reading at the park after workouts as of late, I should do this more often

long-term goals:
>fitness: freestanding handstand (can almost press into a half-assed unassisted ring hspu), front lever, one arm pullup, visibile six pack, starting a local calisthenics group/channel
>graduating, then getting a job
>improving at whatever it is that I do

random thoughts:
I have been fairly consistent with all of the above routine/schedule for almost 2 months now, yesterday it was a slip and it made me realize even more that it's just not worth it as procrastination is essentially slow death and I actually enjoy doing what I do, I like having control over my life
just allow yourself to show up and do the thing, that's it
I have been conditioned to avoid failure and think of it as something bad, embrace failure as that's the only thing that signals growth and adaptation, this applies to pretty much any domain in life
however impossible and unachievable the end goal looks ultimately it's just a wall and you just mash your head through it until you get there, you don't know how thick it is or will you make it but that's irrelevant, more like an excuse to not mashing your head

>>76817393
You'll work at a fast food too? Good luck my man

It's cold enough to warrant a severe weather warning and I'm still pumped to peel outta my warm bed and head off to the gym. Has anyone tried drinking their protein shake warmed up before? Maybe I'll make a big mug using a chocolate powder and drink it like hot cocoa when I get back. Let's all make today a good one

>>76817023
I've been trying to find work. It seems a common issue where I live. It just is that much harder from having to step away from working and having no money for years. I'm not the type where I've thrived with no resources. When I have some stability is when I'm at my best. No sort of self improvement makes me feel better, I've felt an inconsolable hole in my heart since I was a child.

>>76818729
>No sort of self improvement makes me feel better
I have the same when it comes to career, I don't care for making a career. As long as I'm comfortable and being able to pay my bills stressfree I'm fine.
Although I'm way better with physical self improvement, as I actually enjoy it

>>76817294
Those are all admirable goals! Good luck! Do you have any advice on talking to strangers?

>>76817734
Good luck! Keep moving at your own pace. If you stick with it, you’ll make something great

>>76817079
i'm shooting for about a 50k jump in salary, i might start going for 25k instead. mostly because the newer people don't tend to get shitcanned first in my field. i don't think its just my shitty company but i basically just need to get out for my own sanity. we have like a 9 to 1 jeet:human ratio.

>>76819185
>we have like a 9 to 1 jeet:human ratio.
I'm assuming this is tech, but what field specifically? You've got me worried about my future kek

I need to restart.
To end all the excuses.
Pain cannot stop me.

>>76819201
life sciences/pharma/healthcare
it isn't nearly regulated to the point where offshore jeets are locked out and this company in particular isn't handling a lot of sensitive information but literally everything else that isn't sensitive is overwhelmingly jeeted. even the product teams, which is fucking hilarious because that requires thinking more than a week ahead.
trying to pivot to finance or even retail and basically just prove "hey i can work across industries" but its been a pain

>>76818009
Congrats!

>>76815813 (OP)
I've been feeling pretty lost for the last year. I tried moving states, but couldn't find work bc the state I moved to wouldn't accept my professional licenses and demanded I redo everything in that state. Ended up having to move back in with my parents and younger siblings. Thankfully I was able to quickly get a job, but it's basically just left me stuck in a loop of going to work to go home to go to work to go home to go to work.
Rereading works on virtue ethics (Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, &c) has helped, but with the world going to more and more to shit I'm finding it hard to care about anything. At work I deal with people who need help I can't provide, and the help I can provide doesn't do anything. Healthcare is a joke, but it's the only way I have to put bread on the table.

I saw a video of myself and realized I'm ugly. It's over.

>>76819035
>Do you have any advice on talking to strangers?
you gotta treat it like exercise. I personally wouldn't go up to a stranger one day and strike up a conversation until I had at least spoken to people I'm more relaxed around first.
Don't go into "heavy" lifting (e.g, flirting with a group of women, giving a speech to an audience, etc.) without "warming up" first (vocal exercises by yourself, journaling out loud, small talk with service people,etc.) It takes me all day and consistency to get comfortable in otherwise harsh environments. But I'm still learning.

>>76818487
That’s a really healthy mentality, I need to follow it as well. Failure is part of the process of making it. Impossible is a word weak people use to justify not crying. Let’s keep on trying until we climb that wall!

Day 15 Nofap and day 9 of no alcohol. Let's fucking go bros.

>>76818656
Today was the first snow of the season as well. Just because it’s never been tried doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Tell us if it’s good. Have a great day fren! Make it count!

>>76815846
As if I would lose to an emo skeleton in a robe.

>>76818489
thankfully not a goyslop job, I'll have training for the rest of this year and then I'll be an online casino customer support guy

>>76819024
So you’re getting stronger. Congrats!

I go to planet fitness, decided to upgrade to 'black card' so I can go to any location, wanted to visit the one that's like 2 minutes away as opposed to 15 since it just opened up where another gym used to be.

the gym it used to be was pretty upscale, expensive and all that. so all of their equipment is still there, there's no purple shit or any of that. but it's technically PF. There are 6 squat racks, a massive dumbbell rack with 2.5lbs weight intervals, and like 10 benches and incline benches for barbell stuff. I'm so excited, since I've been using Smith Machines for a bit now, I get to actually learn how to use free weights.

I have to start with lower weight which is fine, since I never got crazy anyway, but I'm more determined to get the form perfect because it's all legit now.
stats: 5'10 128lbs, 30yo, 10 months sober as of yesterday

>>76819185
There’s nothing wrong with setting more realistic goals. Good luck! Keep applying! Use ChatGPT to craft your resume and cover letter

Lost some weight this week, sticking to my diet, getting some runs in. Feels good bros.
LETS GOO NIGGERS

Don't do that. Create a cover letter generator based on sample cover letters. Nobody is going to read it anyway - there's AI for that now.

my first job was washing dishes around 27. i make good money now. theres hope bro.

>>76815813 (OP)
Km that anon who was annoyed that he said hi to a coworker in passing and she mistook it as me hitting on her like a month or so ago. To recap
>talking to coworker, convo was funny so smiling/laughing as I walk off
>round corner and she’s coming to opposite way and we make eye contact
>Hey how ya doin (this is just how I say hi to people I’m not looking for a response)
>just automatically came out I guess because some part of me is semi normal and it relieved the awkwardness of us holding eye contact in passing idk
>she blushes then comes back with her friend they go quiet as they pass me both stare then when a few feet behind me she loudly says she can’t wait until she sees her boyfriend to let me know she’s taken
It annoyed me, I had thought nothing of saying hi to her until that. More has happened since, I’ve just ignored her since because I don’t want this issue at my job and it’s awkward in there to work. She’s said the same shit a few more times, she’s told other people I liked her. I don’t even know her name I’ve never said more than those 4 words to her and I don’t even know what her job is or department she’s in. As you can see, this is annoying as hell.
>this morning
>its not cold outside
>540am have to go by front doors
>someone’s ringing the bell
>normally will open the doors even though is supposed to be a manager if someone doesn’t have their key, I could get reprimanded for it if a manager decided to
>see her at the door
>she looks cold as hell frowning
>eye contact she knows I see her, she lights up thinking I’m opening the door
>break eye contact towards the stuff I need, walk right in front of the door get what I need and walk off
>see her jaw drop out of peripheral
>no manager comes to open door for another 15 minutes and she has to keep ringing bell
I’m just sharing because lol. She’s tried to come over where I was working and kept looking over at me but I pretended not to see her.

>>76822670
She IS pretty but I’ve pulled hotter. It would be one thing if I was harassing her, hitting on her, actually had interest but her doing all that shit when I don’t is just really annoying. It jeopardizes me. I’ve legit never said more than “how ya doin” in passing that 1 time never even seen her prior to that

>>76822670
>>76822676
Keep ignoring her and she'll learn very soon. Continue going out of your way to avoid interacting with her. Ignore the voice in your head telling you that you're being rude. This is the only way, speaking from experience

>>76819253
If you hate your past, use it as motivation to start over. It’s never too late to try again.

>>76822820
She’s come by multiple times where I work and has zero reason to be over there. Started talking to a random coworker as loudly as she could about her stupid ass trip to Barcelona and italy. Kept looking at me kept walking as close past me as she could and glancing, I just ignored and continued my convo with my coworker like I was oblivious to her existence lol.
It’s genuinely so fucking funny to me this bitch is nuts the who on this whore LMFAO. I honestly dgaf if what I’m doing is rude, I know it’s not and don’t feel like it is. Like the door thing, I’m not even allowed to open it. If I was one of the like 8 people who are allowed to then yeah that’s me being rude.


I’ve experienced this in the past. Eventually she’ll either get bored and fuck off or start trying to talk to me. I’m hoping it’s the first. I would smash if it wasn’t a coworker, been there done that not worth it unless you wanna be in a relationship with them which still brings problem anyways.

Alright, it's 4am on a Thursday morning. I'm sick and loaded up on pseudoephedrine. I haven't lifted in months, I'm fat as shit and lost a lot of my gains. Uni starts in a few hours. Let's rock.

I’m sorry your move didn’t work out. Society is screwed up but you can do a lot to help relieve pain. In addition, it’s important to make yourself healthy. Are you lifting? Do you have a hobby that you’re interested in? Those will heal you

Finished. Thank you Lord for granting me steadfastness.

>>76818656
>Has anyone tried drinking their protein shake warmed up before?
yeah, it's pretty good that way
but it has to be cold outside or else it feels a bit strange to drink

I have a bare bones set up of calisthenics rings, paralettes, and a fan bike in the garage. Not ideal, but I'm able to exercise every day. I don't really have any hobbies at the moment, I used to do a lot of natural landscapes and urban exploration photography but fell off due to work.

i was actually looking through this in hopes it'd be there so i could give it to that anon, kek
thanks for making the archive, by the way! it's great

>>76823612
Thank you my friend

>>76823618
thanks!
the first 2-3 years I had a lot of time to permanently update it but now with work and other things it is getting harder.
I add files at my local copy but updating it making it nice comes now way to short.

basically, the most important thing is already there to get someone going. It is still a huuuuge pile of files but it can be managed without help.

LET’S FUCKING GO! STAY STRONG

>>76822577
are you retarded, that's what i literally said. the only difference is that it's my own writing style so it doesnt look like the rest of the AI slop

>>76823812
Are you retarded? I told you not to train it to use "your style" whatever the fuck that means. But go ahead, cringe-max your cover letter and see how that goes.

>>76821443
Congrats bro! Keep up the good work!

>>76822936
Welcome back bro! Now return to lifting so you can reach your full potential!

>>76815820
finally got my first decent job at 45, so you have time to build a career. Stay away from crabs in the bucket type people.and always give 150%. Fast food is actually useful customer service experience a d you will stand out if you dont fuck around.

>>76816429
good for you, but all that lead that was put in gasoline and used in industry for nearly a century all ended up, guess where? Backyard chicken eggs have a lot.of heavy metals. They still use leaded gas in aircraft.

theres a pretty one half my age on my team and my every instinct says inseminate immediately and she would probably take the seed in a heartbeat hut it would blow up my job and my life lol I need to just stop talking to her but shes like somebody drew the exact picture of what I wabt down to her little smile fucking hell whats wrong with me

>>76824665
That image saddens me on several levels

I've been kinda feeling like shit lately. I can't stop thinking about how the year is almost over and I haven't accomplished any of my major goals I set out to achieve; I just keep hitting roadblock after roadblock. The most disappointing one was getting my first "big boy job", where I just got laid off shortly after getting it. It just feels like no matter how hard I try things will never get better and that I'm just falling further and further behind.

>>76823612
Thanks, sigAnon. I'll send you a collection of memes at the end of the year :)

>It just feels like no matter how hard I try things will never get better and that I'm just falling further and further behind
Behind what? Some people you went to high school with? I'm sorry to hear you got laid off but brother you gotta take that standing 8 count, dust yourself off, and make 2026 your year.

>>76824665
Btw my job isn’t one I give any huge fuck about it’s just paying my bills for now, I just hit the 1 year mark but I have no plans of being here any longer. It’s simply fucking annoying, her actions make other Jen white knight and “protect” her (I.e. try to simp for a chance to get into her panties). It gets me outcasted because the retards aren’t even honest with themselves about it and they convince themselves they’re actually doing something valiant. It’s just annoying like a fly in the car I normally forget it’s a thing until it’s in my face and eventually it’s gonna get sucked out a window. Like I may as well actually try to fuck her if this is what I gotta deal with I’m getting all the cons of a rejection without actually even trying anything so none of the pros (fun experience etc)

>>76825025
Now that she's aware you're blatantly ignoring her she is absolutely going to start trying to talk to you soon. Please do not try to fuck her. She's simply getting excited about the (wrong) idea of a man lusting after her while she's in a relationship. I'm begging you to not to entertain that

>>76824178
My body hurts but all is well. Was massively sick too. Fuark I can't sleep and it's midnight.

Bro I don’t want to entertain it. Two times in the past I’ve been the other guy (didn’t find out until after the fact) and it’s always led to problems I’m not so desperate for pussy that I would put myself in that position knowingly. It does nothing for me. If anything any sliver of ego boost was already achieved when I realized what you posted here. I just wanna show up do my job and go home. I just want peace man and people are always fucking with me even if I stay to myself. I’m not actually gonna try, I posted that at the end to exaggerate my irritation. The ways she’s acting have turned me off, I’ve fucked crazy multiple times even the best of nuts were never worth it. She’s maybe a 7/10 at best so it’s not even like it’s a dime 10/10.

Day 10 of nofap. Never lasted for more than 3-4 days. I found a way to prevent masturbation that might seem a little odd but it has worked for me so far. In October I ended up buying a chastity cage but didn't find an interest in it, so I just kinda stored it away. After doing NNN and losing on day 3, I thought about bringing it out. I put it on, put the key somewhere that takes time to get it and now I haven't masturbated since. I often catch myself trying to grab my dick but being greeted by the cage. It immediately makes me reconsider and I haven't fapped since. I only take it off in the evening when I shower and go to bed.
Helped me, not sure it will help everyone.

>>76824680
Sorry you didn’t meet any of your major goals. But maybe you need to adjust your perspective and focus on smaller, daily goals. How are you taking advantage of every day? Different people grow at different rates. If you’re actively growing every day, you’ll make it eventually

>nofap day 20
>matched with some goth baddies online
How do I move this along to the meeting in person part quickly without sounding desperate?

>>76825578
You did your best and can feel at peace with that fact :)
Feel better soon

Congrats on your streak! That’s a little extreme for me but I’ll consider it

For some reason me and a few dudes were looking at each other's ID photos. The big guy looked quite different, he said he was much heavier before he lost the fat and became muscular (and also grew a beard). I was quietly impressed. Then I showed mine which was more recent, and the others were pleased. One of them said I looked good, almost like a model. I know this isn't very fitness related but I don't think anyone ever told me that, in fact I never got a compliment about my looks from someone my age. Whether he was serious or not it made me feel appreciated :) my goal is to lose that baby fat, I wish I hadn't been fat in my teens.

>28 year old virgin
i'm jelly, but happy for you anon. Maybe it's a good thing she isn't so demanding as other girls who feel hypersocial

>>76826454
Noticed typo was supposed to say “GOT” cold outside. It IS cold, she was probably even colder than she looked. She was shivering hahahahaha

>>76826681
Take the compliment. You’ve worked hard and people can notice :) If you want to, keep grinding so you can have your goal body

>>76826681
She said she hasn't dated before, not a virgin.
Plenty of girls ride the carousel with no ideas of commitment.

I have to believe in myself and my efforts. I will make it
