/SIG/ Self-Improvement General

I hit rock bottom today. For the past two months, I've been depressed and it all came crashing down today. But I want to change that. Who's with me bros?

Elaborate why

...

Things I'm currently focusing on:

>Sticking to gym routine
>Eating right
>Sleeping 8 hours a day
>Stop using self-depreciating humor
>Dressing like a man
>Not cursing
>Not using the words "like" "yo" "senpai" "lit"
>Not listening to hip hop or degenerate music
>Not getting drunk

I want a quality woman, so I must be the person that a quality woman would need.

I'm with you user. Mine came crashing down last weekend. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life so I don't get stuck in some IT bullshit job. I fucking hate this shit.

I crashed a while back, and I've been on the up since, mostly.
I'm working on becoming autonous, living with people is a lost cause.
working out (naturally, no gym) , reading a lot more, disregarding people (especially shitskins, if you can call those people). just keep moving, user. godspeed.

Still trying to find a real job 6 months after graduating
Trying to get 8 hours a night but one of the only friends I regularly spend time with and talk to is a night owl too and is always playing vidya late so I inevitably join him.
I know it's something that has to come later, running before walking but I miss having a romantic partner. After my bad breakup at the end of the school year I've burned through a couple skanks but they weren't worth my investment and didn't want it. The gym helps sometimes but how do I get my mind off of it?

My rock bottom was last weekend, seriously contemplated ending it all. I've felt a bit better this week. Good luck to all you guys, i wouldn't wish this on anybody.

Cussing surprised me how hard it was to give up. Took me a good few months but now I never curse even i'm really upset about something.

Hope you feel better user, try going to the gym every day

...

I've been at rock bottom all year. I have no friends and just sit around and smoke. I only recently started going to the gym again. Its really hard doing this all over again after falling off previously. My body is shit.

Good idea brother
>Sticking to gym routine
I got that down
>Eating right
Just cutting out alcohol and avoiding added sugar and simple carbs (can still lapse here and there) lost me 2 kilos while strength went up
>Sleeping 8 hours a day
fuck
>Stop using self-depreciating humor
This is more important than people think, helps with mindset and when you do use is it's more punchy
>Dressing like a man
No graphic tees is a start right
>Not cursing
This one's hard, I really hope I can at least cut down on it. When you use it all the time it cheapens the effect really.
>Not using the words "like" "yo" "senpai" "lit"
Depends on context
>Not listening to hip hop or degenerate music
Can't really agree there
>Not getting drunk
yes

>My body is shit.
Hell yes it is you maggot, keep grinding and you'll get shredded as hell. Give up and you're worth NOTHING

POST THE FUCKING STICKY AHH

The sticky doesn't say shit about climbing your way out of the internal struggle of the self.

>Inb4 some retard equates lifting with transcendental breakthroughs because mug self-discovery.

i geg'd

Its /sig/. Not beat depression general. It’s ok to come here for that but people wanna use /sig/ for more than that

Self improvement helps depression.
Exercise, regulated sleep pattern, healthy eating, cutting down alcohol, and achieving self-made targets all help alleviate depression. Besides that and socialising if you can’t beat depression you should go to the doctors.

I fucking hate alcohol. Im studying abroad and its really the only social outlet. One shot at a bar turns into ten drinks in a club and waking up with a pounding headache. I sent a bunch of snaps to a bunch of people and i dont remember any of them i just feel like a complete jackass. That was my first time going out in about a month to avoid this but i got so fucking lonely. I have no problems avoiding it but it is so fucking rampant in social life.

>>Dressing like a man

teach me how, I'm 24 but either dress like a kid or dress like a 50 year old man

I want a partner too but I know it's going to be a lot of effort and suffering on my part to fix myself enough so I would be able to get a gf.

I've got no friends either but I still hit the gym at least 4 times a week, lift heavy and track everything I eat. Helps to take your mind off the situation you're in and over time gives you a great physique.

I've been writing my master thesis for the last 3 weeks and i'm fucking tired. Let's just skip those final days, fuck

The secret is to start thinking like someone you want to be, then start acting like them. I'm not saying do something autistic like pretend to be Driver but at least pick up on mannerisms and behaviours and use that as a model.

I started thinking like a Chad, I became a Chad. Another thing is personality. If you're a stuck-up cunt with no sense of humour, you'll never get laid. It's not always about being some Elliot Rodger motherfucker, it's about being someone people like being around.

People are comfortable around me because I'm outward, I support my friends, offer advice and I'm self-confident. I'm not some gymcel like Manlet Destiny, I actually go out and shit.

Training is just an outlet for stress and a means of self-improvement. No one likes the guy that makes the gym their life but people love a guy who cares about their appearance. Humble bragging about your PR is fine but talking about your routine for ages is bullshit.

That's another thing you don't do. Don't tell other people what you do at the gym, or you're not special. If your friends do your shit and get in similar or better shape, who are you?

Also, learn where the best bars are and order "sophisticated" drinks. Chicks love it when you know where the best places to go are. It means you're taking the lead and are sociable enough to have friends to take to these places.

Also, listen to MORE music. You'll come off as cultured. I listen to everything except for charts, any mumble nigger noise and RnB made post-2010. I'll listen to anything from Bowie to Parliament to Chuck Berry to Justice to Kavinsky to Barry White to Grandmaster Flash.

This shit worked for me. Good luck out there Veeky Forums

Iktf bro

>I'm not saying do something autistic like pretend to be Driver
Good pasta.

what are some /sig/ approved podcasts?

If you hate gays?
Common filth

Doing the JBP Future Authoring program to decide my goals. Was just accepted into University and I want to turn a new leaf. Gone off the rails with diet (not eating enough) but I still go to the gym.

Hell yeah.

hey /sig/

Is it wrong to take pleasure in the failure of others?
I recently visited my family back in my home town. A small working class city.
I graduated last year with my masters degree and I'm earning a middle class income now. I have a nice apartment, a job I enjoy, a good car and nice clothes.

I went to a shitty state comprehensive school and when I went home last week I saw one of the nasty girls who used to call me a nerd etc working in the local kebab shop.
It gave me such a smug feeling seeing how her life has ended up after all the shit she and her friends put me through.
Approaching her mid 20s wearing a hairnet working for minimum wage in a kebab shop on a run down street. She'll never escape this grey old city and her lower class life. Since I started my road to self improvement I always tried not to put others down but in this case its just so satisfying.

Sounds more like some personal shit between you and one other person. It is satisfying to witness someone who did you wrong go through that though.

Stay humble.

Nothing wrong with that buddy, evil deserves no empathy.

Well first step, do not go to Veeky Forums. They dress to be edgy anime characters.

Head over to reddit's malefashionadvise

>inb4 leddit
I know, I know, but for dressing like a tasteful normie, they can be trusted way more than the spergs on a fucking anime image board

Like most things, revenge is a good servant (e.g. for motivation) but a terrible master

Don't let it take over

Due to years of bullying I have developed a phobia to letting people know what I want and my opinions. I get a sense of panic when I think of people discussing and thinking about be.
Therefore I have major issues with just letting girls know that I'm interested. And it's keping me isolated and alone.
Any tips?

>stop using sled depreciating humor
How?

>sled depreciating
wtf man

Lol

Identify how you joke about yourself, is it your weight, your rounded shoulder, your birth mark, your weird chin, your nasal speech, your coughing. Whatever.
Crooked teeth should stay crooked. Faultfinding in others is the sign of a weak man and a un-confident man.

Casually observe how conversations go when you don't mock yourself

So you want to become uptight? I hope you like what you turn into, because nobody else will.

Shaved my neckbeard! Down 17 pounds now. Previously was 15. Im losing around 2-3 pounds a week doing IIFYM. Not trying to cut carbs too much as I have heard it lowers testosterone levels so I have been avoiding keto.

Disregarding other people isn't self-improvement.

Getting drunk can be extraordinarily useful coming into it with the right people and the right mindset. Its a huge part of the reasons why the greeks literally elevated Dionysus to the level of a god - the achievement and promulgation of chemically-induced realization. Limit it and don't just use it to party, yeah, but getting hammered has its place.

Also, there is such a thing as good hip-hop, you shouldn't be so quick to write off the entire genre.

>tfw when phenibut withdrawal

today we will remind them
no more living in the pit lads it's time to climb out

I'd say history podcasts like hardcore history, history of rome or revolutions podcast.
