/sig/ - Self Improvement General

I mean like a forum where people are always contributing and stuff like that... The wiki stays static...

How do I increase my energy levels?

My body is so sluggish lately.
Should I start running? Is it too much sugar or caffeine?
Should I drink more water?

Make sure you're getting enough good quality sleep
Enough water
Decent diet
Cardio can help (not necessarily loads, just a half hour run or so)

It might take a while to adjust to, but give it a go

>Moved out of home to big city
>2 month into new job/career
>Been hitting gym 4 times a week
>making social gains, going to various meetup groups

Am i making it?

stop fapping your life away

I don't, but it could be too much sex with my girlfriend lately
I feel so drained and empty

I did no fap before I met her and I felt great
But I can't just deny sex from her, that would get weird

Hey, Veeky Forums, newfag and Veeky Forums crossposter here, how do I keep my energy up throughout the day? I get plenty of sleep, I always eat breakfast, I have a pretty active life, I'm like 130lbs soaking wet, I even drink coffee, but I just can't stay awake. Like, ever. I'm always just a lethargic lump when I'm not working (and even when I am working sometimes), and I've got this perpetual brain fog that I just can't shake. What am I doing wrong? How can I improve myself to where this doesn't affect me so much?

you could make a /sig/ chan knockoff
if you did I'd go nigga

quit wanking it every day, you'll get a fuck ton of energy.
even if you think nofap is a meme, the energy boost from it is not

Agnostic here. Is reading this shit a good idea to get a grip of Christian history or just understand it better?

I've been researching Celtic Paganism and I'm bored of it now so a new religion could be fun.

if you are trying to learn about the history and context behind christianity, these books will be a good start.

>the shack
Just no. Keep away from that shit.

I know some people may think this is for rk9, but i finally asked out my gym crush and she fucking said yes, never expected that to happen.

No matter what happens keep lifting bros

Gib conversation i wanna know exactly what you said

>Hey can i ask you a question?
>Yes?,
>whats your name?
>femanon
>oh im user, so what i wanted to ask you what if would like to go out with me someday.
>Oh really?
>Yes
>ok give me your number

never knew i would be able to do that so smoothly

you can't put value on improving yourself to be the best you can be. if fixing your teeth will make you feel better about yourself, in turn increasing your confidence and happiness, then do it

Have you literally never talked to her lmao.

Cant imagine that would work unless you had some nice gains.

Good shit anyways, might have just inspired me to go for it

I was about to say the same.

Decent overall list, it doesn't hurt to have commentaries to help with context and references, but logos bible software will cover most of those things. I would also recommend most anyone that likes even the intermediate theology material get themselves a systematic theology book, my personal go to would be Geisler's version.

Cheers user.

I only jack it like 2-3 times a week. I guess I could try going to once a week, but I can't just go cold turkey, that's like my only source of dopamine at this point.

Litterly every single day for me is self improvement. I wonder where I will be if I keep up for 5 years. Under one year I went from autistic fat nerd who had zero social skills till a really average looking somewhat weird funny dude who is even able to get tinder dates.

I'm really looking forward for the future

Tried Mere Christianity, logical fallacies everywhere. I really wanted to be converted, too.

How much has that costed you senpai? Thinking of doing the same

Remember to mew

In the last /sig/ thread some user wanted to share a MEGA link with some books and stuff.
Will he ever deliver?

Lads I can't decide which is more important, my social life, family life and time or my career.

romance gains tips pls?

Yes, physical appearance is a means of gaining power and shouldn't be ignored.

>believing in fairy tales

*tipping intensifies*

Try to balance them out user. I know that your career will drain most of your time and energy, but try to give what is left to family/friends.

Come to cheap Balkan countries for dental work. Shit is pretty cheap here, even Europoors come to Macedonia to get their teeth fixed. Plane ticket at most 1/2k usd, all 36 teeth implanted at most 4k usd, sleeping for a week airbnb 120 usd, cheap life friendo.

Take a stab at it m8. In my opinion yiur are making it or at very least well on your way to making it. I wish you the best senpai.

I hope you gents are keeping a small note book and pen on you. Making lists and checking things off has helped me greatly and really pushes me to get the most out of my time.

One final thing, we are all going to make it. All of us.

I have too much on my plate right now and don't know how to handle it. It's not even a time management issue I just don't have enough time in the day to do what I want to.

>taking 7 courses
>all 7 are very difficult courses
>have to think about jobs after graduation in a year
>developed a social life (after being a hermit for so long)
>talking to/dating a girl I really like
>working on multiple side hustles/projects to make money or potentially make money
>going to the gym at least an hour every day
>playing a sport on top of that. I can't really quit or take a break because I'm an important part of the team

I literally don't have enough time to do all these things. Maybe I need to stop doing one of these things. My course schedule is pretty much set in stone and I can't change it.

What do I do? I'd really appreciate any anons advice.

Can you imagine what /si/ would be like?

It would be full of "don't bother improvign urself dicklet/manlet/incel" just like this board is.

m8 the logic is the same
you have 2 options
1. God exists and is the designer of the universe
2. God doesn't exist and the universe created itself
both are equally logical
what isn't is being an ass to those on the internet with beliefs that have an equally logical conclusion as yours
You don't even have to believe in the bible to appreciate it's message either. It teaches virtues regardless if you want to believe the purpose behind them
people like you is why the fedora meme exists

Yes bro. Job interviews, meeting girls, new friends...good smile matters. Im not being shallow, its just one of those things that will either be actively or subconsciously judged by others

Read up on quantum physics and how matter and energy are created, interesting stuff.
Agnostic here so I don't have a horse in the battle but it's really neat, the universe didn't create itself, it was (probably) created through some phenomena that happens very rarely and would have to accumulate over an amount of time so large, which is interesting because time shouldn't exist before the universe due to the lack of entropy.

user, im glad you have so much good things going for you. It's important for me to write what I enjoy/get from the things I do in the day to day, to give you a clearer picture of whats important. For you it can be hard as some of these are essential, like going to school. Nobody else can tell you what to do. Hope this helps you user, good job so far

I'm afraid she'll say yes, date is gonna be awkward as fuck.

career, ez.
Go into private care, and let dem monies flow baby.
In few years you will be rolling in potential wives.

make sure to get enough sleep at night, drink lots of water, also maybe give meditation a shot, that worked for me.

Long story short: I'm going to be losing my virginity soon.

How do I prepare myself for when it happens?

Thanks for the link m8. I found Uptowork there and created a profile to make translations of English-Brazillian Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese-English. Hope to earn some quick money there.

Made the test of en-pt translation to boost my profile and scored 100% in everything, actually 1st of almost 13k niggas. Feels good.

I'M SORRY GOD I WON'T SOIL MYSELF AGAIN JUST PLEASE NOT AGAIN

relax dude, take it easy. Porn is NOT how real sex is, let her know its your first time and she will tell you what to do if she isnt a bitch. Don't worry about nutting too soon, just enjoy yourself bro

Yes you are

I'm a skinnyfat (where all my fat just goes to my gut) and I'm currently at about 16-19% bf, should I cut to

>Agnostic here so I don't have a horse in the battle
Do you even know what agnostic means?

People throw the term around as if it has anything to do with the religious debate.

Atheism/Theism--has to do with belief. Do you believe there a god, yes or no.

Agnostic/believer--has to do with knowledge. Is there enough knowledge to prove/disprove existence of a god.

You are one from each group.

>I'm an atheist believer

obviously impossible, but thanks for playing

retard

>java
Are you Pajeet?
I would recommend Python or C++ as a starter language. Or even better, a natural language

I'm close to your position right now. Need to wait till end of year to change my insurance policy for dentistry to be included

I do know what it means, I don't believe knowledge can apply to metaphysicality so I have no belief in a god nor do I have a belief that there is no god.
I do have a cringy whitegirl-tier feeling of spirituality though.

What does it mean when someone has his thumbs in his pockets? What about when he has the hands in but the thumbs out? Also does tapping on your thighs/pockets make you come across as nervous and anxious or bored and energetic?

Feeling his balls
Feeling his balls, without using thumbs
Depends on your body language
Seriously user, you're looking too much into things

>all 36 teeth

Nigga what

cowboy stance
find some cover because he can draw at any minute and blast everyone in the room

Finally planning on leaving my shitty computer repair job. However, I have pretty much no experience in anything else plus no degree at 22. Wanna go into trade school and learn something else, but can't find anything in the Omaha, NE area. Scared as fuck and don't know what to do. Any tips?

Also, Christ-fags and atheist-fags fuck off to Veeky Forums to talk about your lack of knowledge on sciences. People wanna try and get better and feel good.

>Spent a year dieting and cardio getting my bodyfat down to nearly 12
>Just started lifting a month ago hoping to bulk up since I'm little
>Always dressed nice
>New hairstyle
>Still 5'6"

Theres really no point in trying if you're short is there.

I used a fake Chad tinder this weekend just to see the difference and I'm completely disheartened by the easiness Chad has it.

Also I even made up a fake height and this fat girl took a minute to dump on manlets.

There's really no point to self improvement unless you're at least 5'8

just start being gay homo

Getting back to lifting after spending the past 9 months becoming a helicopter pilot. Feels good brah. Motivation is back.

That happens to me too. Remember to breathe and take it slow. Don't squeeze your quads too hard for too long. It's better if you can do it laying down in bed.

Faggot here, no midgets please. We like men.

Go to the gym 6 days a week instead of 7. Ease up on the side projects, since you don't want them to jeopardize your main money-making project (degree).

Trying to quit drinking again, guys. Last record was a week, now I'm just 16 hours in. Starting to feel the burn under my skin.

Power companies will put you through apprenticeships if you're interested go on their websites and see what schools are officially accredited by them. mccneb.edu/Academics/Programs-of-Study/Industrial-and-Transportation/Utility-Line-Technician.aspx

That or you go on edx.org and learn something for free, like software development (these are free, only pay for 'verified' track) edx.org/micromasters/software-development

Thanks user, I'll look into it.

I am sorry sir...but is this a joke?
If not i have real problems...
Last time i slept like pic...i woke up in another room...a floor above me.

i have a problem where ill get anxiety when im with a new girl and thus have trouble maintaining an erection
how do i train my penis to get hard on command?

currently doing noporn, should i also do nofap? also how often should i do cardio? is two times a week enough? how long should each cardio session be?

Confrontation scares me, no matter what the scenario. What do i do to stop being a faggot and get past this?

what? no, this shit is scientifically based to help you sleep better
get yourself straight bro

There is a physical addiction too right? Maybe you should do it with the advice/prescription of a professional.
Also, I heard it gets pretty hard when you realize that most of your activities involves drinking. So you should be prepared to change a lot of stuff. Good luck brother

Be more of the embodiment of CHAD. Start by getting yourself more comfortable in social situations and building from there. You would be surprised at how many people do not want to deal with conflict. So, just walk and talk with confidence and that is where you start.

lol same here

I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov right now, and I recommend it. I don't think it will convert me (and I don't think thats its purpose), but it's really well written and worth a read. It's about religion vs atheism, theodicy, faith, the role of christianity in society, etc. It's also pretty funny at times.

I had super low energy last week and I couldn't even finish full workouts. I bounced back this week and I think it's because I got full, deep nights of sleeping

Breaking up with a gf of two years fellas
Used to live close but I had to move for work and I can't take distance any more, plus I couldn't see me marrying her either
Feel absolutely shithouse. How do you guys deal with it? Don't wanna drink or binge because on cut, still too ugly to just hit up tinder or whatever for an easy lay

There's no external solution to the problem of low self esteem. People are shallow and looks matter hugely. Lower your standards when it comes to a girls physical beauty

Why Java? I'm brand new so learning JavaScript. It's kinda tough but I like it.

Here have this gold edition meme my dude

Peterson is my dad

He's all of our dad, bro
