Bars open fellas

Very good idea strike while the iron is hot
Good luck bud

I keep slipping on my self improvement stuff. Meditation and the wim hof breathing were completely forgotten, I'm not excited to study the stuff I need to.
I'm too used to have a girl lifting me up during those hard times, but ever since I became single, things started to derail and I can't seem to find myself.
Now I met a qt who's into me, but we live really far away from each other. She's cool and actually interesting.

Life is getting hard, fellas. It feels bad and I'm not enjoying as much as I used to.

I just want to do my own thing, not be held back by relationships or anything. I don’t trust myself to maintain any kind of romantic relationship.
I know man, but I’ve known her for >5 years, it just feels gut wrenching almost.

kinda shit, shoulder/forearm pain has been slowing me down a lot the past few weeks. I haven't been to the gym at all in like 4 or 5 days because finals have been due this past week and I think I might be getting sick.

I've also jerked off multiple times almost every day this week which makes me feel sluggish.

On the upside, this semester is finally over and I'm gonna head to the gym in like 15 minutes, hoping my shoulders had enough time to recover, but I'm doing back/biceps today so it shouldn't be that huge of an issue regardless. I'm hoping the gym makes me feel better.

Manhattan.
Got a job interview in a different part of the country Monday. The company is paying for everything. I need the job and know I can do the job. I'm happy to relocate. But I've failed five job interviews in the last two months, and my lack of confidence shows in my face these days.
Tips on how to become /hired/?

At my new uni, classes going great so far. The girl that broke my heart a few years ago goes to the same campus I do, but I haven't seen her around, which is good. Still lifting those feels away, tho

Feeling lonely as usual,don't know how to fix it.

>171 at 5'8
>wanna get down to 160/165 before gaining muscle
>mfw my car breaking down allowed my weak will to up my calories with snacking
>mfw basically gonna take these few days as a mulligan

I'm seriously contemplating just saying fuck it and going full lift mode and going for muscle. having low calories and running off of caffeine is god awful.

Way she goes, pal. Life gets really unexciting pretty often, I think the trick is staying disciplined enough to keep stuff up even when we are demoralized. Doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing either.

Well maybe you should check your feelings and apologize but still be assertive that perhaps you arent interested in her sexually or if you are tell her that what you have now before you requires a moment of courage you either mend or further break what you have

What do your car have to do with calories? Just being bummed about it you mean?

I apologized to her, but it’s so tough to figure out the outlook. People wish they’d have women attracted to them, but it’s a curse in disguise if you have a heart.

Life is good, I don't know what to do anymore but I think the things that I have been going through are beginning to change me.

Anyway, I wasn't always this way and something happened to make me like this. Also, I wont mention my job on here again but I was told this week to fly to another state for business in the upcoming weeks, I don't really want to but its a fucking awesome place in the US and I get to see it for the first time, I may stay an extra day and go sight seeing again and actually grab some local lunch.

I work a lot sometimes and fly around the country. Hoping things will go well, I kind of hate what my life is becoming right now

oh yeah i know how it feels to be torn up took me about a year after i swore off of relationships and such now im just looking around to see if im even interested in a relationship or just want to continue being a gym rat and going to college

Starting up work again is helping me get out of my depressive rut. Slept with two new women this week, I want to keep it going with both and wrangle some more. Birthday coming up next week and I've got zero plans. Life goes on.

>Down 10 pounds
I'm happy. Just 10 pounds more, and if I don't lose much lean mass I should be like 10-12% bodyfat. If I keep this up, hopefully I'll be able to see my abs for the first time by next month. Feels GREAT

My Polish waifu is coming to visit me for 3 weeks. I'm going to take her to a hotel in Manhattan overlooking midtown and fuck her thicc Slavess ass

I was gonna go grocery shopping the day my car shit itself. it's been out of action for 2-3 days. I don't want to spend money on a taxi or uber just to get food so I ordered jimmy johns for delivery.

not the worst thing but it isn't as healthy as my standard of chicken + rice.

Yeah feels bad man. I feel like I’m leading her on but it’s not intentional.

It's been a hard week. I was depressed as hell in my college years and fucked it all up. Always incredibly disorganized and lazy. Started hanging out with losers with no aspiration.

Started watching Jordan Peterson in December. I was already getting myself down from drinking every other day to once every week. Decide I had enough of this shit and started saving my money and signed up for community college. This is the first time I've had a calendar and schedule in my life.

I had my first class today in a long time. Went straight to my shitty job afterwards. I've been awake since 6AM and just got home at 9PM. Life is harder because of the choices I've made but that doesn't mean I can't turn it around. The pain is just a reminder to stay vigilant. Wish me luck boys.

Good job man, half the battle is realizing your rut and starting new habits. Keep it up

I asked this girl what’s new after not talking for a bit and she straight up ignored me. It hurts that some women are so far up their own ass to ignore people. I know she liked me too and we got along great. She just had to play her little game with me and apparently I didn’t play it back with her.

Whatever I’m over talking to her. I’m not gonna acknowledge her anymore she honestly doesn’t deserve my sincerity if she’s gonna treat me like shit.

I’m just dissapointed I found someone I liked and they had to be a thot. She showed a lot of initiation and interest but once I started being forward she pulled away.

this is going to be so much more fulfilling in a couple of weeks
keep on it breh

> working on ourselves
Sounds like she's working hard to Tyrone's BBC

shit happens user
it's not gonna get better by feeling resentment over it
not worth the hassle

Feeling like missing out on life, on youth. As if there was something wrong with me that prevents me from being human enough to get things that most people have like friends, gf, sex, hanging out...

Im just on autopilot doing /sig/, without a single goal in life

Yea true. I’m pretty much over it now. Just dissapointed over the situation that’s all.. I really think we could have had something great but her insecurity got the best of her and she had to be manipulative with her attention.

Girl I've been dating for 3 months called me while drunk and proclaimed her love for me, but feel too jaded to tell some chick i love them back maybe ever again. Completely realise I'm being a faggot but can't shake the feeling

oh shit, how old are you?

Feeling conflicted on where or not to break up with gf of 2.5 months. When I'm with her, I love her and she's crazy about me and I feel like I could spend the rest of my life with her, but when I'm not with her in person, I feel like it's just not gonna work out and I can't imagine a future together

G&T, my good man.

Last month, after a year and a half of a non-relationship, I finally figured out that my (ex)oneitis has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She never would let me get too close but would make damn sure I never left either, all while "Idolise, Devalue, Discard"-ing me again and again. Complete lack of empathy and a showiness about her that doesn't match up with reality.

Long story short, I accidentally called her out on it and since she has completely lost her shit. I completely cut her out a couple weeks ago but curiosity got the best of me and I checked out her social media yesterday. She's so damn crazy. Crazy and really, really mean. I'm happy I figured it out before it turned into anything real but shit still hurts. I wasted so much effort on this one.

>Things go well
>Internal monologue
>"Looking good bro, gym paying off, oh shit that cutie actually talked to you, damn uni isn't so bad, maybe we'll all make it"

>Minor inconvenience happens in life
>Pic related

At this point I know it's me catastrophizing, but perspective completely changes the way I view myself - for better or for worse.

Eye contact and a firm handshake isn't just a meme

nigga im 25
you're doing fine

>work in the country, work pressure is enormous
>family, old friends and gf are all back home only see them on weekends after a 4 hr drive
>weekends are no longer refreshing, it's a juggling act of seeing everybody in 2 days and being switched on, happy and sociable the entire time
>every weekend cop shit from family or friends that I'm 'Never there' or from GF if i spend too much time with the former, if i get mad at gf she cuts me deep with 'I just don't get to see you long and i miss you'
>fade away like a depressed cunt the whole 4 hours back every sunday

I never vent but i feel pretty trapped bros, dunno if ill make it.

im pretty disillusioned with life

im 24 and still live at home with mommy and i never had a job

i don't see myself having a career or anything

i have no real skills outside of shitposting and i find myself snapping at people and losing my cool extremely quick in public

i got put on academic probation for not showing up for class

which is fucking retarded all my teachers told me to go to lynda.com

if i need help with anything what's the point of class?

my rooms clean and sorted but everything else is fucked up the wazoo

>What you having?

PEAR CELERY SMOOTHIE

>How was your week?

GREAT

I have built my life on all lies, all lies

Having Leadslingers rye whiskey. Bit expensive but delicious.
Week is good, just got under 36in on the waist so I can enlist. Taken me six months and 60 lbs to get there so it's good to finally be at my goal.
Only thing that could be better is if I didn't get crippling anxiety every time I talk to a woman.
How's life treating you, friend?

>lies
Any good ones?

Ktfb

Yea, but I'm afraid to be honest because I think people in my life already know i'm a liar

I have a question for Veeky Forums

Lets say you have a great job and a good company. Do you feel like you need to quit just because you are too comfortable and not interested in staying in this company for some reason? Like you're always job hopping and getting skills from multiple areas in your field

What's the worst thing that could happen to you if you started being honest?

come clean

Bump. This is exactly how I feel. Going on 20 and I just feel empty all the time. I'm unable to form any meaningful connections with other people. I can laugh, smile, and play the part but it's all just bullshit. I just want to enjoy a normal life with actual friends and a gf but whenever I look at other people I either feel contempt or nothing at all. What's the point bros? It's like I'm just not meant to have a happy life. Despite all the improvement I feel like I've become less of a person. I'm emotionally fucking dead. The only thing I'm even really capable of feeling anymore is anger and even that is fleeting. It's just the fucking apathy all the time. I lost my grandfather a while back and I was barely able to force myself to feel sad. I fucking loved the guy and I could hardly even feel sad when he was gone. I work 12 hours a day and devote the rest of my time to lifting and self improvement. At first I thought it would fix me but now it's just empty habit and knowing it's the logical thing to do. Maybe I still have some naive hope buried somewhere who knows. Anyway sorry for ranting on a Vietnamese Basket Weaving forum.

I've been interviewing for med schools the past few months and got rejected from one school yesterday, put on hold from another today and missed an interview wednesday because i legitimately thought it was on friday. probably not as upset as i should be because i kept expectations low but fuck if im not pretty bummed at the moment

Thing is, I don't see the point of anything. I will finish my studies in a year and after that I will simply become another pawn more of the workforce.

Is this all that life has to offer? Growing old as another one of the majority of miserable losers in the world?

I don't even know what to say. I'm a liar? Yea I tell people in my company I'm busy working on XY or Z and truth is sometimes I have downtime, and now I know for a fact that they are actually probably aware I'm not working on shit

I usually spend 4hrs of my day during my working hours on Veeky Forums going between Veeky Forums /r9k/ Veeky Forums /x/ etc...

I think the people at my company know now, I don't know how to feel about it anymore. I also get no respect anymore but truth is they can work for the rest of their life in some cushy job making more money than anyone in the US can even dream of meanwhile I'm making good money but for some reason I'm still not happy

Well, I'm lying again to myself, I know why I'm unhappy. I'm single, and have no friends in this state. I moved out here for business and things took off and I've done well

Fuck, not sure why I'm posting this tonight but i guess a lot has been on my mind

It's over, fuck new pussy and you'll feel better.

She's already getting new dick, likely was getting it before the breakup

The money stops being worth it at some point. Find your point

>Just graduated uni
>No job
>Moved back home
>Bored as shit
>Coming off my meds
>Eating one or two meals a day tops
>Get pissdrunk every night to cope

My only activities at this point is either playing viyda, going to the gym for 3-4 hours, and shitposting, I feel fucking empty on the inside.

What field you in?

>Is this all that life has to offer? Growing old as another one of the majority of miserable losers in the world?

you can be a member of the workforce and be happy. I mean fuck son hobbies exist for a fucking reason.

Get a hobby, brother. Join a sports team or something

Studying might make you want to kill yourself, but Tranquility will actually kill you in the inside

Have absolutly no clue if the protein I will buy is fake.

The price is really good,but not "too" good.

Welcome to the club. Been feeling this way since my late teens. Only 22 now but man have things gone downhill fast. Once you have no friends you’re absolutely fucked for anything in life. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is too true when you realize how shit and pointless life is without camaraderie from others.

The post-highschool crisis. I feel you, brother

Go watch some greatbigstories, really show you how the most mineal things can lead to satisfaction and contentment

My favorite one is
youtube.com/watch?v=C2cqQA_zsKY

completely agree. when shit hits the fan in other aspects of my life, i know all always have the discipline/motivation to keep up with my training. its a good feel desu

Undergrad finished almost a year ago, still no fulltime work, trying to get a job at a college so I can do my masters for free. Mostly over my shitty breakup from around the same time thanks to my ex getting her just deserts, swore off tinder though because it leaves me feeling pretty empty. Going to wait until I have more of the body I want, kinda skelly mode still, and also wait until I have a more solid income, but I'll probably try stuff like Catholicmatch. Good lucks bros, you're gonna make it.

Doing ok I guess? Got many job interviews today, but the psychologist really wanted to touch a nerve, I like to think I did ok.

I have been feling fine, I just want a well paying job, the last one is offering 1700 dollars monthly but I have to travel 1 hour (2 hour roundtrip) and no gym nearby, so I don't know how to feel about it.

I turn 21 at midnight, can I buy my beer now or do I have to wait?

I'm a Political Science major, gearing up to take the LSAT soon, but its mainly just being back home that sucks, I'd make the effort to move out, but I'm only going to be sticking around a year and a half tops so I'd rather just save on rent, utilities, etc. while I can. I used to play rugby back in school, but I got banged up pretty bad as much as I'd like to get back out there. I've been thinking about getting back into Jiu Jistu or something similar because the gym alone is rather boring now.

Things are actually going great. lifting is going pretty well, hips are becoming more mobile too, which is nice because it was a huge problem area for me. a friend told me that my ex-gf of like 8 months is dating someone else and i can't stop thinking about it. i know we weren't good together, and ive objectively become a better person since the breakup, but its still making me feel weird. wish i didn't feel this way

>friend told me that my ex-gf of like 8 months is dating someone else and i can't stop thinking about it. i know we weren't good together, and ive objectively become a better person since the breakup, but its still making me feel weird. wish i didn't feel this way
It'll be OK man, I got cheated on and left for that guy. It's weird - disgusting, repulsive, and wrong but it happens and it will subside.

>drinking and lifting
No bully but you should write a book

I've actually thought about doing some form of writing, I can feel my mind getting less sharp since school finished.

good luck man. im rooting for ya

I lifted for the first time in 2 years, thanks to being caught up with Uni studies. I used to be a fat fuck, but I lost 25 pounds when I worked out. Now, I saw that I regained 15 pounds

I forgot all my form, I couldnt even perform a 1 plate deadlift without feeling like my back snapping. Probably horrible form and weakened muscles.

I cant believe I let this happen to myself. I failed you, Veeky Forums

i was with a girl who did this and in retrospect it was a huge red flag. stoicism is important, and if she's willing to blurt out some huge emotion while drunk, she either doesn't mean it, or doesn't understand what love is. be wary user

>A month into lifting
>Started only being able to bench 25s and couldn't squat at all because my form was trash
>Can now bench 1pl8 and squat 2pl8
>Feels good because I can see my progress, obviously not aesthetic progress yet but am definitely moving on up in weights
>Girl that has blown me off for weeks is still watching my social media posts despite me telling her I wasn't interested anymore and I was gonna delete her
>Still not sure what to do about her
>Only girls I can get on tinder are chubby chicks
>Still a kissless virgin so part of me wants to hit some of them up just to get over the hump
Overall I'm doing good. I love it man, newbie gains fire me up.

Jiu jutsu sounds pretty rad, man

Are you in the country side? I cant really think why you would be bored if you are in the city, as there are ton of stuff/hobbies to do there.
If you are in the country side, try to pick up wood working or if you are dedicated, smithing.

Nothing makes my time go better than hanging out in the garage, trying to craft some stupid contraption all the time.

Obviously this is your decision to make but I felt exactly like you did at your age (currently 23). I joined the military and it solved basically all my problems. Still a kissless virgin but I have more friends than I know what to do with and the only reason I'm not out partying tonight is because I turned down 3 or 4 offers from friends because I'm feeling a little lazy.

Research it obviously, just giving you my experience.

I'm down 30 pounds dude. It gets easier. I went from 260-230 over the fucking holidays.

You just gotta think in time frames. What that is going to take you like two months to cut down?

Try a year.

Glad to hear. On a similar road as you. Only 19 but seems like I will be able to make a lot of money this year and finally lose the weight I've been trying to for about 3 years.

Probably the most serious I've ever been about weight loss and making money. I have cute thots come by me in the gym I could easily chat up, but fuck that other things are more important. I will try to get waifu over the summer when I'm around 190.

>Nothing makes my time go better than hanging out in the garage, trying to craft some stupid contraption all the time.

I know this sounds rather weebish, but I've been trying to get back into building Gunpla, also I've been trying to do some odds and ends around the house more often, working with your hands is rather satisfying I'll admit.

Whenever a girl says vague/new age shit like this (i.e. "finding herself"), it means she's actively looking for new dick. Do yourself a favor and move on now; cut all contact. You'll be happier sooner.
t. that guy a few years ago

>recovering from concussion
>may be able to lift tomorrow, Sunday or Monday at the latest, finally

How many gains did I lose? Haven't lifted since NYE.

no youre wrong THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT

what the fuck did you do new years eve?

Been having knee pains for the past couple of months during which I stopped lifting due to busier schedule. These past 2 weeks my schedule changed and I have been able to get back to lifting. Squats cured my knee pain surprisingly and now have a deeper love for squats.

>Gunpla
Fuck I used to love Gunpla as a kid. Building a humanoid robot by hand was got me pumped up like anything.
Really wanted to get a full painting set and all.

Too bad my parents stopped me from doing all that since I left a pile of mess everywhere.
Still wish I could get back into it, if I wasnt so fucking caught up in my studies

>Current year
>Being concerned over thots at all and not goals

Goals are how you get "goals(heartface emoji)" my dude.

>What you having?

Boston lager

>How was your week?

It was okay. Tried to be productive around the house. Went to bed early a few times to develop a good sleeping habit even though I don't have obligations to wake up early for at the moment. Job prospects next week, will be nice to get back in the work force and stay busy.

Started a kettlebell routine yesterday, trying to capitalize on noob gains with it as much as I can. Gym here is too expensive with no job (rural area so they can charge an absurd amount). Just working with what I have. Thigh doms felt good this morning and it was nice knowing I beat myself up a bit.

It's been hard getting out of this rut I'm in ever since my dad passed in November but I'm trying. Some days are better than others.

>rural area so they can charge an absurd amount
boy do i have news for you......

I’m really proud you were able to show strength in that scenario, truly a rare breed of man. I mean that, good job bro.

So, I need to kknow

The people on Veeky Forums a lot of you are also successful and have some type of career. How do you find purpose other than work?

>Life is harder because of the choices I've made but that doesn't mean I can't turn it around

You're already working with a better mindset than most people. Keep at it.

constantly trying to be a better person i guess. I have this ideal in my head of the type of person I would like to be and always work towards that. If I do something that goes against that ideal, i usually feel like absolute shit, so the motivation becomes to not feel like shit.
im not as successful as some on here, but i think im pretty happy.
