anyone else have these feels?
Guess lifting can't make you happy after all.
Christian James
I had the exact opposite experience
>Am DYEL >Girls flirt >get extremly qt gf >have best friend to hang with >schools good
Now >am fit >gf left for skinnyfat 5'8'' guy >havent managed to date in forever >no flirts >way better off career wise but dating is dead
I was happier as a DYEL, atleast then life made sense
Levi Ward
before i started lifting i was getting sex on tap
now since i started lifting i havent got laid in 2.5 years
Brayden Richardson
Lifting made me very happy.
>can go up stairs without being out of breath >no longer ashamed to change in front of people >no more t-shirt in the swimming pool >generally less cynical and depressed outlook on life >good friends and a gf
I couldn't be happier and its all because of lifting. I used to tell myself I was introverted for years, but I think that was not totally true. I still hate being centre of attention, but my friends are what get me out of bed in the morning. Just thinking about them and the fun/laughs we have, it makes me smile. There isn't a lot I wouldn't do for my friends and family, they're my whole world. Pre-lifting I had none of that. Sat in my room 24/7, overweight, turbo autist.
In my case, lifting was the catalyst which changed my mindset and allowed me to have this, but its not needed for everyone. Look around you and see whats actually important to you, see what it takes to keep that and there you go. Appreciate the things you have.

I'm happy for you, user-kun Lov u xx

This. There was a reason you began lifting in the first place, going back wont make things better. Your issues lie elsewhere and we can't help with those.

You'll never be as happy as you were as a kid. Ever. Childhood's supposed to be fun.
You now have to try and be content. Happy is a bullshit emotion. Satisfaction is what you should seek. Complex gains.
Isaiah Miller
Not necessarily true. I had nothing to complain about growing up, but I'm definitely happier now than I was as a child.
Mason Murphy
wrong
just start playing those cards again, go to animi cons, etc
why stop doing the things you actually like just because now you also work out?
I'll never understand this shit... its always one or the other, no middle ground with people. Suddenly you discover that you want to go to gym and get laid, so now you can absolutely not do any of the stuff you did before ever again... right? WHY?
my best hypothesis is that is the newfag gaymer culture... first people hype the absolute fuck out of some game, then suddenly few months or a year later that game is now suddenly "dead" and nobody can play it, time to move on to something else. And then you fuckers take this and apply it to real life, yeah I loved doing thing X, but now I do thing Y, so I can absolutely never do thing X again. Absolutely never because now I am a guy that does thing Y.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
p.s. some people seem to be immune to this shit, e.g. there are still some active quake world and quake 2 servers. This is the way to go. You wouldn't change the game of soccer or murices football either, so why change your computer game that you love, or the hobbies you like.
Landon Harris
I'm happier yet still depressed to shit
>tfw never had childhood, abusive father locked you in and made sure you couldn't make friends >he beat the shit out of you regularly (not for discipline) >got bullied and school for being banged up and bruised >had a really really really bad flinch when I got to highschool, got beaten up daily for it, by also a guy who had a bad flinch too but he used the excuse "I have a reason for it though" and didn't care that I did too >we wuz poor af, also 1st generation immigrant couldn't integrate properly (turkish)
reeeee, at least physically I have gifts (good beard genetics, hair genetics, tall, olive-skinned, good face etc, bad chest insertions but idc)
Christopher Reyes
Yes.
Also I wish I could be back with my friends playing halo all night and goofing off again
Isaiah Rivera
Because you are not doing/achieving things in life you ACTUALLY want. It's really that easy.
Just embrace who you really are and find happiness.

Nutting is good, but I don't want to go out with her anymore. Just wanna play vidya. Just here to get my dick wet. It was also the first thing I mentioned that's also why I don't pay.

what job user pls
Jordan Long
ive also experienced something like this, its sort of like the hot girl syndrome where you're too afraid to approach them for fear of rejection but they're actually very lonely and would welcome any sort of affection from the opposite sex, in this case im the hot human being
Jace Peterson
I found something I'm good at (woodworking), practiced it a ton, and now I make custom wooden figures, models, etc and sell them to people
Find what you're good at and use glorious capitalism to get what you want
Ian Hall
>hot girl syndrome where you're too afraid to approach them for fear of rejection but they're actually very lonely This is by far the dumbest thing ive read in my entire life, no joke Girls are never lonely and hot girls are especially never ever lonely Fuck man, i knew a girl who was a straight up 8/10 at work (resturant) and she quit because guys kept hitting on her and asking her out.
Jace Rogers
>Find what you're good at I'm good at literature
like really good since I was a little babby
idk how to make it into a job though
Dylan Stewart
>write stories you love, make sure you pour your creativity into it >make sure you know your target audience and genre and appeal accordingly >make sure you have a back up job >there's no such thing as too much time for writing >hit up every publisher
You can look more into it but those are some simple basics you can follow.
Easton Cooper
Just cause they're hot and people are always fawning over them doesn't mean they can't be lonely on the inside, senpai.
Jaxson Powell
I lift and still play Yugioh desu
Jace Collins
alright user, I'll go for it
everyone around me, every teacher I've ever had, everyone who has ever read anything I've written has always told me I'm excellent at writing so hopefully I can actually make a living of this
>tfw I made my teacher cry when I was 11 from a poem
I'm pretty lost in life and I'm good at nothing but literature so maybe I can have a life with one of those turn around stories "poor Veeky Forums neet fag becomes normie"
Easton James
Well now youre just shifting the goal posts You clearly said: >would welcome any sort of affection from the opposite sex
If they got people fawning over them all the time they got that and they arent lonely if they are still FEELING lonely thats another story hardly relevant, means they are mentally fucked up and you can be that regardless if youre pretty or not
tl:dr hot girls are more attractive than average girls More attractive = more attention from guys plain and fucking simple
Mason Green
You go user, I hope you make it
Just make sure you have a back up if it doesn't go well, I hope to be reading the first installment of "making it" by Veeky Forums user soon

>back up that's my issue, I'm good at nothing else
