/sig/- Take action edition

Self improvement general.

You know the drill. Be sincere, be authentic, take action. Give advice. Bent and talk about your problems, stop hiding from them. Know what you need to work on, and act to be better. You can't get to where you want to be by not taking action.

What are you doing to defeat the Dragon of Chaos? To rescue your father?

Be fearless, and delve into the unknown.

Some of the best threads on this board. Holistic self improvement is one of the most important philosophies to live, every day, always striving to find new methods to shape yourself into the human you can envision.

Trying myself to eat more plants, read more books, be more social. Any tips for social gains - eye contact holds 5x5 and small talk until failure?

Find opportunities to talk with people. Like honestly, my biggest problem is to be able to be interesting in conversations. I absolutely dislike the fact that people find it so easy to interrupt me and begin talking over me. I don't blame them, rather I blame myself for not being able to convey what I say in a more interesting way. I now focus on the strength of my frame, the surety of what I say, on having a better and more penetrating tone, conveying confidence and being careful of not delving into neediness (meaning to avoid covering that I NEED others to respond appropriately to what I say). It's weird, but it's a way to improve.

If you can't find situations to talk with people, create them. Don't be afraid to small talk with strangers. Be aware of the emotions that others react to to what and how you say things. It's autistic, but you get better to a point where it begins to feel natural.

I'm contacting people who do pick-up in the RSD forums, just to go out and get myself to approach girls, my greatest weakness (and I hate to admit it). I believe in abstinence even and marriage and family values, but I think it will be a good way for me to become more naturally extroverted and interesting.

I hope you found my post helpful.

I'm 23 and still don't know what to do with life
I have a basic high school like education (europoor) and I've been working in an office for two years now but I just can't stand it at all, I hate working in an office, I hate the tasks and I hate the people working in an office
I thought about going back to school but I'd have to do evening classes because I live on my own though
What do you guys do for a living? Enjoying it?

Went to confession yesterday, first time in 2 months. Heard voice of god last night while praying. Told me to stop worrying about politics; how can a person fix large problems when they can't even fix themselves?

I'm seriously autistic when it comes to eye contact
With any male, I see it as a competition and I look em dead into the eyes until they look away and with females I just don't know how to look them in the eye so I just randomly look away for a few seconds and then look em in the eye again

Check out joseph rodrigues youtube chanel and mindmaps. Great stuff with RSD and lifting

Thoughts on cold showers?
Broscience or worth trying

It's great when doing nofap.

>when your penis is yearning for a rapehole
>your balls feel like they could explode and impregnate somebody within a 100 ft range
>take a cold shower
>feel that coldness soothing through my balls, caressing them and telling them that it's okay.

It's great.

God damnit are you me

A person can do great things when they become an example to follow. And even greater are the results when those with similar purpose get together and work together.
Great job on confession, man. Being sincere is the first step to bettering yourself.

Exactly what i came here for, how strange
Will be bumpin with my stuff

...

started talking to grils in the morning on my way to work (eurofag here so errything by foot)
trying to make it natural for my
usually some hi, i noticed you the last time works

>Eurofag here so everything by foot
What are you a Eastern European?
I may be a wagecuck, but how do you suppose to pull cuties without a car?

Anybody has any experience with uber optimistic, a bit autistic, very smart and liberal type girls. I'm not even that into her, but she's not into me AND THAT MAKES ME WANT HER.

My typical leading approach is not working as she is very emotionally independent (I can't freaking lead or make her feel insecure as she's freaking happy all the time) How to best approach this type?

188cm german masterrace actually (sorry for ze english)
funny enough, a racing-bicycle or skateboard(anything "fast") usually does the trick, makes you seem exotic and determined
also i tend to wear black "creative" clothes, and a bare minimum of silver accessories
give her your hand to shake and assort dominance and all that stuff
also PRACTICE, just like lifting

Just cleaned my room really thoroughly. I'm a minimalist so I only had one bin bag full of rubbish, but it was very satisfying (as always).

>To rescue your father?
What does this mean?

How do I overcome the inability to workout in the morning when my live-in girlfriend is around?

She's always there and I feel pathetic that I want to improve. Need to, really.

encrypted.google.com/#q=jordan peterson

Been listening to him but not much on that particular topic. Where does he talk about that?

Elaborate a bit? You just go to people you've seen around the area and introduce yourself just like that?
I know it's in my head but it seems a bit weird.

You didn't hear God you are just desperate. Sorry.

There are a bunch of you at my gym lol. Guess I was right in assuming they're autistic.

We all have a model that interprets our perceptions and a model of representation for our perceptions. They show us what we value, based on the next state of being that we which to move into, and to move up from our cultural dominance hierarchy. This is a way that allows human beings to interact and play the social game. Cultures are vast and different and lead to different models of experiencing the world, to reaching our potentials, controlling sexual selection (and therefore the genetic qualities of future generations). The current premise is that traditional western civilization is the epitome of all games to be played that leads to the best individual and communitarian experience, as well as the best form of genetic selection. The west is in a decadent state, it no longer imposes upon you standards of living and expectations on how to be in the world. It is the obligation of those who appreciate and have benefited from it, to rescue it from its decadent state.

I live with my girlfriend and workout 5 days a week. What is the issue? Just get in your car and go to the gym

No gym. Can't afford it. I have a heavy bag, bicycle and just want to trim up.
Pushups, sit ups, various curl bar exercises.
I don't know what it is. She works from home and every time I do something she's like "oh you're pumping some iron?" Its demoralizing demotivational.
Pretty much everywhere with her is demotivational, I meet many more people, have better conversations when I'm on my own.

>Can't afford it
How so? If you can afford an internet connection, you can afford a gym.

This was from a past thread.

Sounds like the problem runs deeper. You want a partner that makes you want to be better, not worse. I'd have a serious talk and consider moving on if she's holding you back.

I was just thinking about that, maybe I should check out planet fitness or something. There's one nearby and they're pretty cheap.
As far as internet goes, I don't pay for it. I don't need it. She pays for it for her work. I use my phone hotspot, not much internet use at home anymore.
Been out of the streaming/downloading/gaming realm for a long time now.

That, too.

Thank you for the explanation.

Sounds like your girlfriend is the breadwinner at your home, why is that?

>no squat racks
>no dumbbells above 50lbs
>no deadlifting
>can't be there if you're too swole
>no chalk allowed
>free pizza as a reward

It's not a gym. Find somewhere better.

No. Not at all.
I can sit on my ass for 6 months and still double her take home. Its during those months I feel like doing nothing that's just annoying.

But then how can you not afford a gym? I don't get it. You mean there aren't any good gyms near your house?

Why not get a job? Lots of gyms are ~$20 month.

Woah there. Sound the Lunk alarm

Best type of thread, definitely.

Anons, where are some good places to meet people? For friends, girlfriends, conversations. I love meeting people

So your girlfriend works and you don't, yet you can't workout cause she's around all the time? You can't afford a gym, but make double what she does?

Your story isn't adding up.

Depends how old you are and where you live but intermeral sports is a good option. I play dodgeball and have a friend circle in a kickball league as well. People are friendly, have lots of events, and like to drink. They tend to be very outgoing and welcoming as well.

20 & live in the British countryside, near a city. Have my own transport. I love to climb and swim

Church, is the best in my experience. Get involved with activities and lessons, organize things outside of church to do with them.
Other are joining clubs for activities like swimming and all. Although, they may not completely be that open to socializing outside the club.

DESU, and I'm a church dude, it's not a good place to meet young people if you live in the countryside. It's a fine thing to do, but if you aren't in a city, average age is gonna be 70. Bars and sports will have young people; if you don't like bars try masjid lol, that will have young people.

My work requires me to travel a lot and finding a nationwide gym would be essential. Everything near are small local gyms besides PF. No LA Fitness types close.
In my off time I restore old cars.

Even if they are just broscience, I've come to enjoy them. I used to take really hot showers, but now whenever I try to take a shower that's even slightly hot I feel lethargic. Haven't gotten to taking ice cold showers yet, but mine are always a little colder than lukewarm.

PRAY THE ROSARY

>no young people go to church

This makes me sad.

How to fill the emptiness in my soul?

I'm doing bodyweight excercises, but i really struggle with pull-ups.. I'm currently doing Australian pull-ups, but i still cant do proper pull-ups. I feel so weak because of that :D

In the last six weeks, by denomination, total attendance, +50/50-35/35-18/lutheran, 12, 8/2/0/2
>quaker, 100, 60/30/0/10
>mormon, 100, 10/50/20/20
>gay presbyterian, 25, 5/20/0/0
>conservative jew, 100, 80/20/0/0

Didn't dare go to a mosque during Ramadan and the demographics wouldn't work anyway because it's a workplace masjid. Still there were about 150 total and about 15 females.

Give it 20 years and the only places that can keep their doors open will be mosques and Mormon temples.

Ironically niggers will save the Anglican Church. They know you can't eat the poopoo.

pic saved, praise the sun

>implying there won't be major events/discoveries to change the population curve significantly
These charts foreseeing future for more than 25 years is meme tier desu.

...

something broke in my left arm last week, its painful only when i try to lift. Should i wait another week or when can i lift again?

Demographic change has velocity my man, the world of tomorrow is going to be full of oogaboogas whose parents stoned homos, and the pets of westerners who thought the anus was a sexual organ.

>uber optimistic, a bit autistic, very smart and liberal type girls

All girls are the same. Do what the screenshot says. If it's not working, you're doing it wrong.

mfw I fucking fell for the cold shower meme and lost gains. some fucking user is gonna pay......

For a really long time I actually thought I could keep my desire to meet some woman at bay. Keep occupied, work on myself, if something boils up just masturbate to hearts content and move on. But it seems like it was all for nothing and all of it just brewed up beyond the surface. Met some girl at a party, she is nothing that special, but something about her hit me the right way. Bloody hell I am miserable right now, I have not seen her for a week and it is eating me alive. Also caught something and sick as fuck, not really helping my cause either.

For my question in that regard, is there some user who actually managed to outrun this shit? Or should I just give up and pursue her for what it is worth?
I am well aware that this is not a Veeky Forums related question, but this board seems like the most healthy community here and if I am unable to tear away from this site now, I might aswell make the best of it. Certainly beats asking /adv/ or god forbid /r9k/.

I am becoming increasingly disgusted by porn. Last time, I lasted a month. This time it will be longer.
I'm going for walks more regularly now. 4km regularly through the forest near me. Some nice scenery there. At the start of the next academic year I will pick up some good habits that will get me the grades I need to do what I want. I am reading good books now, and I'm thinking of purchasing JBP's self authoring program.

only way youre gonna find more job opportunities is to further your education, u can do it user.

For me its more of psychological thing. It helps me feel hyped and energetic in the morning while on the other hand, hot shower just make me tired and never wanna leave the shower. Don't forget the placebo effect is really strong so if you believe its better for you it might actually become better.

This is gonna sound gay but.. if women are really like this then whats the point of even trying to get women? Is it just about sex?

People are complicated, you find exceptions to everything.
Your goal should be to find them exceptions.

>tfw meet quiet married qt that tells anyone with the slightest romantic intent to fuck off
>the other day we were walking and she decided to pick up a worm and play with it, a grown late 20's woman playing with a worm
>went to the couple's apartment and he's a basic bitch while she collect games pre-SNES and literally has never talked about games while I've known her

Weird as fuck but my point is some people are outliers, most guys are just as shitty, we just don't pick up on it because we aren't trying to fuck them.
Ask gay men if dating other gay guys is always fine, easy to fuck but they go through hell as well.

Of course it's just about the sex. If you want loyalty, trust or meaningful conversation, you go to men.

>gays
>date
millenials have the dumbest ideas due to jew hollywood/jew professors

how do i approach a cute cashier?

make a purchase, strike up a conversation

If this is the case then should I even bother finishing reading the gigantic wall of text?

>20
>in college
>invited to first ever party (not even elementary school birthday parties and shit)

What do people even do at parties? Me and most of my friends don't drink fyi.

get drunk, destroy someone elses house, fuck a slut, get diseases.

Make a sad greentext when u: inevitably fuck up and embarrass yourself or smashed 10/10 bitches

How do I make friends? About to start post-grad degree in the UK

I assume you go out and do something and meet like-minded people.

Also what do you do when you have friends? I need to have more social interaction in my life but idk what or how.

I am 21 waited too long to enroll in school this year, considering waiting till spring next year and just go to uni for four years for computer sci.
I still live with my mom, getting sick of it.
Should I just live on campus or something?
idk where to find roomamtes

Why not ask her out? I don't meet many girls but I've asked some out lately, and when they say no I just forget about them. It's like a switch, I instantly stop caring.

I've never been to a club. I'm 27 years old and I've always stayed in most of my life since high school. I feel like going on to socialize and hit on girls. How much money do people normally spend at clubs? I also don't drink. Will I be the odd one? Pay for drinks for girls, yes or no? What are the social etiquettes? I'm looking more of a EDM type club. No country music or hip hop. Also, am I too old for clubs? Should I go to a bar instead? What about the alcohol issue I have?

Done 3 years of a comp Sci degree I've lost interest in and have an opportunity to swap to engineering at 1st or 4th year in September.

How feasible is jumping into the last year of a program like that? Will I get rekt?

Join a sport or online meet up group. Your school probably does social nights too

go to concerts, festivals, events. look up shit going on in your city. people are suprisingly friendly if you talk to them like you already know them.

clubs are pretty shitty sober. if you don't like dancing then i wouldn't go.

i have the same problem, i want to socialize but i don't drink. i don't want to be a faggot at a bar drinking water and drunk people are usually annoying

Not as annoying as sober people at a party. Why are you even there?

If you don't drink, it's better to go with a friend, and to strive to become as unhindered as when you drink. I don't drink either and have my roommates which we go out to bars downtown. All I have to do is become as inhibited as I can (while still being socially calibrated; i.e. don't start screaming and masturbating in public). Force yourself to laugh and be merry. Enjoy the moment. Be socially aware and be calibrated.
I don't drink, I don't do drugs, and I believe in abstinence. I'm 27 years old and I don't let it bother me. I act cool, and bring value to people, and don't act like I need value from them (I don't act needy). If you go out and fail, that is good. Remember what you could've done better. Force yourself to go out again. Even alone. Approach and be outcome independent. Fearless. Let the chips fall where they may. Try to be as authentic as you can, get out of your head. Your thoughts should be expressed solely through taking and your body motion. Don't fear failure or you'll NEVER get better.

Requesting a screencap that is commonly posted in these threads. It's from a guy that describes himself as an "oldfag" like literally I think in the image its an older guy, and he talks about writing down the things you don't like about yourself, putting them in a jar and then burying that jar.

I'm a self-destructive shit that takes no pleasure in anything but hurting other and being in a constantly depressed state, I got addicted to my self-pity. Otherwise I'm quite successful, am in merchant marine officer training and read a lot, but can't really see a point in life and live on based solely on duty sentiment and discipline.

You guys are the best.

Saved.
Deus vult.

A woman was fed her own baby that some terrorists cooked for her to eat. They starved her for 3 days and waited for her to eat it and told her after she finished it that it was her own kid she carried for 9 months. I read an article about it on drudge today.

What does the fact that something like this is happening in another part of the world and no one on the news is talking about it whatsoever say about the state of the world.

What self improvement could you possibly make that would make up for the fact that the event explained above actually took place.

I'm at a weird spot so I'm hoping someone with real xp can help me out... I've been rejecting uggo's recently or even girls who I think are not attractive enough for me to waste my time on, but a lot of them throw themselves onto me.
Do you think slaying a few girls below my usual attraction scale (don't scale any of the girls I find attractive), not kill my social value in college?

stop.

How do you go about attending Church for the first time, bros? I've found an Orthodox church in my city, but I haven't been in a church since I was a small child. Do I just show up at the designated service time or should I call ahead?

meant for

Go watch jordan Peterson on youtube. He has his whole lectures on there. Maps of meaning. As well his podcasts with Joe Rogan and that 30 minute thing he did with Steven Crowder were all very enlightening.

Become a catholic. Your local parish probably has a website where you can find mass times, locations etc

Went to one a while back, most are generally chill, just talk to people really. There will prolly be beer pong, try playing that just tell them you cant drink. Most understand. If they say you gotta, and persist on that just leave desu. No use ficking yourself infront of a bunch of strangers

bump for love
