When did you know it was time to get your shit together and put on your big boy pants?

when I left to move out of my parents house to purchase a condo at 25

When you feel like a failure and it actually bothers you.

At least that’s when I decided to take action.

when i realized that i couldnt use the "im just a kid" excuse. it was when i turned 26. been working out for 3 months and i have complete control over my body. im also going back to school to cure cancer. y'all jealous?

>was high in bed with gf
>she is looking at me, smiles
>my only thought was "is this the best you can do"

...

Ungrateful bastard.

When I got evicted.

fuark

something similar happened to me with ex gf
i was just looking at her when she fell asleep and i thought to myself ''you love the blandest, most uninteresting body in the world''
i felt no attraction to her whatsoever
still love her though

I'm 30 and still haven't reached that point. I think what keeps me from getting my shit together is that I am depressed and seriously consider suicide as plan b.

Get your shit together and you wont be depressed anymore.

I'm more afraid of the things I need to do / go through to get my shit together than death

2 years of being neet after uni

I walked away from my family when I was 17. I haven’t seen or spoken to them in over 16 years. Not that I saw or spoke to them much when I lived with them, just the occasional beating. I put my big boy pants on when I was 8. I was tired of being hungry all the time.

I don’t know what life is like for the people who have someone they can rely on. I don’t judge you, because it must be pretty nice to know people care about you like that.

Next monday, I promise!

Hope your life is much better now mate.

ARE YOU ME???

The worst thing, I suppose, was that she was a pretty good gf at the time, probably best in my life. She was just a butterface and that angle didn't favor her. I was high and, jesus, is that face seriously the best I can do?

I finally got my first girlfriend at 24 years old, feels good.

When I woke up one day next to several empty handles and realized I legitimately could not remember the entire preceeding month. Either I was blackout the whole time or the alcohol killed that many brain cells.

This series of greentext is depressing. I'm glad you tried, but that build-up was too amazing only to end with a stop like that.

Have you considered going back to Uni?

I have the utmost respect for people that have the power to take hold of their life like that and still don't look down on others.

When the escapism from movies and games wasn't working anymore.

when i realized 20 years a virgin is pretty pathetic

>i'm just a kid
>26
Are you american? In europe you stop being a kid when you're 16-18. But I see americans referring to adults as kids all the time.
What is that shit all about?

>He's a good kid
No he's an adult for fuck sake.

>waterfall down in highschool and end up in retard classes
>start thinking I fucked up terribly
>Drop out of highschool to pursue a higher highschool diploma so I atleast know something when I go to uni
>that month that I'm not enrolled my dad kicks us (me, my mother and my brother) out of the house
I never knew my dad, my mother and my father had a verbal agreement that he didn't pay child support and she didn't pay rent because it evened out. When he heard I wasn't enrolled anymore, he went to a judge and said my mother didn't pay rent for 18 years and claimed there was never such an agreement.
>end up homeless
>22, finally manage to drag my family through it and get housing
>try to find a job, no one is interested
>decide to pursue a simple course to have some worth
>23, finish course
>25 now, taking evening classes to get a proper degree and trying to search for a job, no one is interested in me
Really hard to try and pull yourself together brehs i need a job

The past 7 years I was only able to get 2 night time contracts to take stuff out of freezers

turning 17 and realizing i've never had a gf in my life due to being a lazy fat unattractive slob
>now 20 and have 7.5/10 gf who can cook

When my father died.

How the fuck is this fitness-related? Reported

I would be all smiles if Hitler got in my canoe...

Haven't yet. Im 26 in 4 days and still waiting.
I had a blood clot in my leg recently, health scare didn't even set me straight.
I'm thinking this, but recently after coming back on Veeky Forums again, I might start trying to treat general self improvement as a game.

What do you think brehs? Treat it all as a game. Im not sure what general self improvement could encompass. Im not lifting atm, no job or education, could try make social gains, what ever that is, anything else I could add to my game bruhs?

Each fortnight I could go to my mates place for a night out, which would be the equivalent of a boss fight.

>I've been watching porn for years, eventually I changed and wasn't interested in porn anymore

It made me feel sick to watch someone else have sex in some odd way and I'm watching it. Its odd what they do with porn and how easy available it is

I don't think it should be illegal but it is a drug that you can find yourself in for years, while rubbing one out everyweek

I never got into porn everyday or multiple times a day but sometimes when you watch porn you can see in yourself you are nothing and a joke for watching porn

>Have you considered going back to Uni?

You know the definition of insanity?

t. not the guy you replied to

I have never understood the desire of porn personally. For me it’s like watching the food network; it looks great but it’s not like I can have it...

I dunno, each to their own I guess...

>When he heard I wasn't enrolled anymore, he went to a judge and said my mother didn't pay rent for 18 years and claimed there was never such an agreement.
Based dad cutting his losses.

...

I have similar thoughts about porn, user. It just feels so pathetic, watching another man fuck a girl you find attractive. It's the absolute lowest a man can become - sitting in a room alone with his dick in his hand, watching other dudes plow girls he could have but doesn't because it is easier to just google some porn than go out and get pussy.

When I woke up one morning and found out I grew 8 inches.

It's boomers attempting to assert authority as long as they possibly can

>for every week you don't have a job we're going to start donating one of your books to charity
;_;

It's also an insulting way to refer to someone younger. But can be appropriate if you are close to eachother and there is a large age gap. say 80-40 to an 80 year old, someone who is 40 is still quite young.

Currently a sad cunt and hate most of my life but the gyms free. And I've got money, employment, a place to live, and the gains are good. We're all gonna make it brahs.

augh jesus why are there so many of us

when my dad lost his job of 20 years and was strugling to find a new one. I dropped out of college at 19 and worked double shifts just to make rent

Whats so special about joining the military, the whiteman´s welfare

Did the same about a year ago. I was too much of a pussy to call it quits but she was not. Broke up six months ago, quit weed and alcohol, started working out, eating properly and looking after myself. Now I'm doing my masters living in a flat full of stoners and relapsed. It felt like shit. I started looking after myself again. Still feel like a piece of shit but slightly less than yesterday.

After I fucked my GPA last year

Im 18 without a permit because im legitimately scared of driving

after I realized my choice was be sad or be sad and in good shape

Probably 2 weeks ago, I'm 24. I mean.. It's not that my life has been horrible.. I have a decent job and had a gorgeous girl I was giving my mushroom to for years.. But.. I realized that I really had to step up to be the person I dreamed of being, that it was going to be a hard ass road.

I heard john gruden say something that inspired me.

He said "You only get these times once. This is your only shot. If you want to live without regrets, seize this moment. You'll only get it once"

It sounds simple but it really clicked in my head.. This is really my only shot. I also really want my ex to regret leaving me, that's some pretty solid inspiration too. So for about two weeks now, I've been lifting these old shitty 30lb dumbells I had laying around, I've been doing pushups, I've been eating better and I've been smoking less.

I've done this shit before but it was always something I wanted to see fast results from. I've also recently accepted that this is going to have to be a total paradigm shift and a life style change. Nothing comes fast and the rewards pay out slow. I'm accepting that for the first time and actually kind of embracing it.

Is it weird that I envy that? Having the constant comfort of parents around and never having to worry is what enabled me to fuck off developing for 18+ years and instead just play video games and browse the internet.

The kids I knew with parents who were never home were the ones who went out and found ways to make money, got jobs, had girlfriends at a young age, and were social the whole time. Its like I'm catching up on over a decade of development that being coddled stunted.

>I don’t judge you, because it must be pretty nice to know people care about you like that.

Idk to be upset you insulted me or appreciative you don't think less of me

Don t ever post here again soyboy

Kys you shit stain.

When I almost got kicked out of the honors program and realized I have to retake chemistry to get into my major, and I can't even say I've gained any strength.

When she wanted me to kiss her and I didn't.

When my father got diagnosed with cancer.

You need to doe you worthless shibag

Shut up you whiney shithead

Three months ago, when I left my home to study at uni. Lived in campus, looked in the mirror, realized that i'm a fat fuck and started working out and eating less, two months later i've lost 11 kgs. School performance is also great, I've started being responsible for my place , however I still don't have a gf sadly.

After the first semester of college. I used to be strong, lean, and didn't drink heavily. Well with new found freedom I drank like a fish and didn't lift. Body went to shit. Also, blew through 1500 bucks the first semester to so I'm too poor to do anything until I go get a job. I started lifting and cutting again two weeks ago. Have a job lined up when I get back. But holy fuck it hit me like a ton of bricks

I didn’t insult you. I honestly don’t know what it feels like to have someone to rely on. Maybe I would want to be comfy. Maybe I wouldn’t. I haven’t walked in your shoes, I can’t say. But I don’t judge anyone if I haven’t walked through their shoes.

I imagine it’s a very easy thing to not put your big boy pants on if you don’t need to. Maybe if I had a family who loved me I wouldn’t put mine on either. I would still buy you a drink.

No judgement means no judgement. I’m sorry if you felt insulted. It was bad wording on my part...

A few months ago, but it hasn't helped. I'm still not disciplined enough and probably never will be to get the body I want.

I don't want a fucking gf I just want to be strong.

>he's just a kid for god sake
>40 year old man

Have no idea on what I want to do with my life. I'm 26 and I've just been working as a bartender for the past 6 years. I tried school but I dropped and failed a few classes, so I'm a little behind.

I really don't want to work as a bartender anymore. All my coworkers are getting on my nerves and the customers are really pissing me off.

Tbh the whole restaurant is fucking with my head. I'll come up with little scenarios in my head where a customer or coworker says or does something I don't like and then I go full aspie mode and smash their face in.

I wasn't always like this though.
This job is just killing me

This is what I'm scared of desu. It's also why I realize being healthy isn't enough. I'm trying to self therapize myself so I can automatically always think in the right direction for success.

>filling in a journal every day to analyze my thoughts/actions
>constantly reading psycology/philosophy studies
>attempting to use my willpower earned from gym/dieting to apply the studies in life
>using mind trick tools constantly such as mindfulness, defensive pessimism, surfing the urge, and 3 second decisive action
>managing my time by prioritizing what I truly think is important
>cold turkey porn, video games, and other distractions

My hope is I'll be working to my goals constantly through willpower/good habits and if I'm messing up then use the journal to figure out why then make necessary changes. I really want to make it lads.
