Jesus Christ, why did you tell me to go?

the thing is that although this site is really fucked up, it's also one of the best things to happen to me. sure some of the boards are cancer but the self improvement boards are amazing (Veeky Forums,Veeky Forums,Veeky Forums) and help alot in life.

5x5 training a la Mark Rippetoe doesnt make my muscles sore.

Im going back to 8-12 rep ranges to failure

You're not looking for a house wife, you need hobbies. Staying busy throughout the days (with rest of course throughout the week) with things you truly enjoy is a great way to live a fulfilling and "complete" life. What do you enjoy doing besides lifting/sports/reading user?

And if you aren't looking for more hobbies, then you are looking for self-acceptance. Practice some meditation and learn some Buddhism. Maybe you are even looking for spirituality, given that you "felt a connection to the moon". Go pagan nigga, give alms to that bitch.

Note: I agree with you that the self improvement boards are damn helpful, but you gotta wade through the shitposts there anyway.

I went out to a bar with colleagues tonight for the first time in my life and hated every second of it.

Tomorrow I'm gonna work, because extra cashola on weekends. That's about it. Gonna give all I earnt to mom and dad. Gonna sui in 2018.

Reminder, set your New Years Resolutions now and start working on them NOW. You will love the feeling of having a month head start over every one else and you will be motivated as fuck. Trust me. Also December 31st make a list of all your accomplishments during the year. It's more than you think.

These are my 2018 goals, feel free to critique or take inspiration.

>read 30 books (read 20 in 2017)
>complete my masters degree

>What do you enjoy besides lifting/sports/reading
Nothing, I like reading about inferential statistics, macro economics and war history. But that's also reading.
I spent all my days (when I wasn't excersising or playing sports) on video games and porn up until now, I'm 20. Deleted and sold every video game and console about a year ago, have been slowly getting off porn for about half a year now.
Some chad at Uni and his really nice girlfriend are what's holding me together, they like me for some reason. Not many do.
My parents were weird, passive father that ignores me when I talk to him, verbally abusive but over protective mother. I was bullied in one school out of the five I went to since my parents were always moving around, I was molested. I have the whole package for some kind of schizophrenia probably.
I don't feel like a person user, I don't. Feel.

This, I made a post on Veeky Forums LAST november of my 2017 resolutions, saved a screencap of it as my background, and almost every one of my resolutions came true. Did the same thing this year half a month ago. It's the only way to fly, I swear.

>I don't feel
no that's a wrong interpretation of it, it's like I feel everything at the same time all the time if that makes any sense. It's really uncomfortable.

Thank you OP for actually making a decent written version.
>What have you done to self improve this week, and what will you do to self improve next week?
Mother is in the hospital so I've been busy helping her out. I'm doing good with the diet change, learning how to cook is helping. Still working on C to 5K and I'm starting to enjoy it. Cardio is fun stuff. Been setting goals and cleaning our home more often then before. Hopefully I can get my driver's license next week.

C to 5K and basic fullbody bodyweight workouts.

You feel nothing because you are just overthinking, literally. Get busy with your hands. And not on your balls. Try a shit-ton of activities until you find some that click, then practice at them until you are dope at them. If you do this with stuff you enjoy, you will love it, I promise. Even if it's hard sometimes (just like with sports/lifting/reading). Maybe learn to cook. Or study music theory and pick up an instrument. Or sing. Or dance. Draw or paint. Woodwork. Go rock climbing or caving. Literally the whole world is at your fingertips if you are smart about it. Hell, study subjects until your brains explode. The thing about it is that pretty much all of these "hobbies" can be monetized if you get good enough. So try nigga. It's the least you can do. What else is there to do? Mope and slump around. Being sad is ok every once in a while, it's good to express your emotions, but you gotta make the most of your life because it might be all you got dude.

If you are feeling "everything" you really should look into Buddhist teachings. I recommend Alan Watts Lectures on youtube. They are really simple, entry level stuff and he has a comfoirting way of talking about those kind of feelings and how to deal with them. I'll just throw one at you now that I find that might help but just search "alan wats" on youtube and start listening. It saved my life practically.

I'm in, boys
HYPE

hot damn my dude, congratulations. Wear that badge with pride

nice, now will you be bad cop or good cop

pls be bad cop

ty my dudes, gonna make everyone proud

I’ll just bee myself :^)

I recommend everyone to try self-flagellation.
Whenever I did something bad like skipping a workout or breaking nofap Id whip my back with trainingbands and full force until it bled.
My willpowrr increased tenfold, the flagellation doesnt only punish bad behaviour but promotes the very discipline all of us probably lack, impulse control. Its what makes us break diets, skip workouts and participate in escapism.
Youll be hitting your back while in incredible pain, youll be hitting even though your animalistic brain is screaming at you to stop.

>eatin
Tomorrow I'm going to this awesome slider joint in my old college town, it's gonna be fucking awesome some of the best burgers I've ever had. Right now I even ate -100 my cutting deficit and don't even feel hungry, so I'll be able to have an extra beer tomorrow at the slider place. Fucking ace.
>watchin
Nothing right now
>drinkin
Drank some tea earlier, really geting into it for the first time in my life. I like the non caffeinated kind for before bed, they call it sleepytime, kinda mellow
>smokin
Smoked weed earlier
>readin

>listenin to
the entire death grips discography, almost done literally in 5 minutes, it's been quite the journey once again
>creatin
Didn't draw today, I wrote some lyrics while listening to death grips but nothing significant. I'll hopefully draw tomorrow or sunday when I'm done with my obligations.
>doin
Goin to bed, I gotta get up early tomorrow to do my recycling, which reminds me I'm gonna put it all in my car before I go to bed.
>exercisin
Lifted today and just did my before bed ab workout. I lost track of my weight on bench press, so I don't know if I just did decent today or backtracked. Hopefully its the former.

Got a job, lads

There is not enough time in the day and not enough discipline in my heart.

Fuck yeah bro! Now you get 50% discounts at most food stores.

I have similar aspirations. If you want this you have to realize you'll have to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. OR Focus the most amount on your favorite and use the rest as ancillary. *OR* somehow find an outlet that suits all your needs. Like I'm mostly an artfag that likes to write sci fi, and write ttrpg mechanics, so I'm making a sci-fi ttrpg that I'm also going to do the art for. Simple, no?

It hurts Veeky Forums maybe if I reach 2pl8 the feelings will go away, right?

I just want to feel confident, I feel like every single person is out of my league, I'm constantly comparing and assuming what people think of me. Fuck.

Nice work man, kill that shit.

/x/ used to be pretty fun, since barely anyone took themselves seriously, then she showed up.

My college admission got fucked up since I didn't have the right documents but I might have clutched an entry anyway, only time will tell, until then I have really nothing to do.

Strength gains are not measured by soreness.

Does anyone else find that the absolute only way for them to have any type of discipline is to schedule and regiment themselves in a turbo autism kind of way?

>Pic related

Also:
>Weight Training (TTS = PPL)
>Judo is monday and friday
>Kyokushin + Taekwondo specific kicks are wednesday
>consumption activities include vidya, tv, Veeky Forums, entertainment based youtube channels, etc.

I've been here literally since '08 and all the boards used to be fun user. It's actually really sad to see what happened to Veeky Forums.

I'm currently dating a girl

That's what I'm kinda striving for but fail at. Pic's a great idea btw.

Numbers next to activities denote hour fyi babe. Good luck

Any of you guys struggled with caffeine addiction? What do I do to replace it that isn't an even more degenerate vice?

Tea.
