literally the most cringe thing on this board

How do I stop caring about what people think? I'm only insecure about my ability to do stuff. I'm tall, somewhat handsome, good posture and good body language, but I just don't do particular things (such as trying to get girls) cuz I'm afraid of failing or coming across as weird.

I'm not even that socially awkward, I have a pretty good social life. But I'm feeling bad seeing all my friends try to get girls and sometimes succeed while I'm too much of a pussy to even try.

And even if I wasn't scared, I still have no idea how to do it.

nofap & noporn

I kicked a 2yr opiate habit that ended with the worst 3week withdrawl of my life. It took my fiance leaving me for me to get my shit together. I started back lifting after a 8month hiatus due to injury,

Her leaving me was the best thing she could have done for me.

I'm super interested in pen testing and so on but never really found a practical way to start. Bough the hacking humble bundle a few years back, but never finished any book.

How'd you start?

I like to think of human interactions with game theory.
In that table you see that hitting on her is always at least as good as not doing it. Also it seems like not hitting on her would even have a negative bias for you because it's the exact thing you worry about. You'll never know if she was or wasn't down if you don't ask.

I know it's stupid and theoretical, but knowing that you can basically only win might help you out of your comfort zone. There is nothing to worry about. If you've done it a few times you won't feel the fear of going up to them anmore.

Doing pretty well boys. My last semester started Thursday and I'm looking to finish strong, and hopefully find full-time employment before I graduate.

I have been feeling on edge and a bit irrationally angry lately. What can I do to curb this before it gets out of hand?

Is there something else in your life that's making you rationally angry and it's spilling over?

I masturbated on my day 92 of NoFap
in my opinion the opposed to an addiction is not abstinence but control, maybe a lot of fitizens think that NoFap work but you need control that and not banned

I don't think so. I might have to write a journal to figure it out.

Perhaps ironically, this is what addicts think. They go back to using but tell themselves they're "in control this time." When it comes to addiction, abstinence is control, control is abstinence and telling yourself you'll do it better this time is straight denial

abstinence is a mechanism for not getting addicted again.
But why do you get psychologically addicted to anything in the first place? Because it feels really good.
And if you have the will power to once every few months feel good it's fine. Granted, there's a chance for slipping back into addiction, and that's why - especially with substance addicts, who also have a physical addiction - most people advise just to steer clear of it. And that's something a person has to be very conscious of when they're about to indulge in what ever it is they've been addicted to again. You need to be confident enough that you won't fall back into your addiction.
Abstinence is a way for people that aren't strong or confident enough to stay clean. It's the most common and most secure path but surely not the only way to do things.

Masturbation isn't some devilish act that will ruin your life once you do it. The reason people suffer from it is because - as with most addictions - they over do it. Masturbating once every few months might be a nice experience for OP. But if he feels him self longing for the next "high" he should definetly stay abstinent for longer.

a software for manage my money

19 and currently travelling and on a gap year before college
Made a spreadsheet at the start of the year planning things I need to do/read/study.
2 NY Goals were read a new book and learn a new skill every week and my spreadsheet has a list of all the books/assignments and it breaks them down how many pages of a book I have to read per day and I have a box ticking if I have done my reading for the day which makes it so much easier to track and actually hold yourself to.
Another goal was to climb Everest but can't afford the $25,000 permit to climb it.
Learned new study tactics and reading university textbooks in Physics and Maths (want to major in Physics and maybe Aerospace engineering) that mostly cover the entire course syllabus at colleges I applied to so I technically should be hit the ground sprinting when I go off to college and hopefully finish faster.
Currently not lifting heavy as gym membership ran out and I'm clearing space for a home gym so I'm doing light yet slow cadence lifting and sprints outside and still doing my football drills. I will make it to the NFL, trust me.
Stopped missing her.
Achieving all my goals on spreadsheet so far.
Never felt happier in my life.
FEELS FUCKING AMAZING MAN!!!!!!!
WE ARE ALL GOING TO MAKE IT

Dumb question, but where did you find the xp and win7 iso needed for the book?

I've reading more. I've observed that the average length of an audiobook on Audible is 8 hours. Average, meaning some are longer, some are shorter.

I'm awake 17.5 hours of the day. I listen to audiobooks at 1.5x speed. That means in 365 days I could listen to 1,197 audiobooks if I listened all the time.

So I've made it my goal to read 200 books this year, or 4 per week with two weeks as a buffer.

So I used thegreatestbooks.org/ and toptenbooks.net/ to figure out the best fiction and non-fiction books.

I'll read the top 50 fiction books, and top 50 non-fiction books- this is serious literature.

Then for the other 100 I'll read 50 fiction books just for fun (I love western novels, sci-fi, star wars books, shit like that) and 50 non-fiction books just for fun (like self-help books, malcolm gladwell type stuff, scott adams, etc...)

Last year I read 150 books so I figure 200 is doable.

Yeah from good old pirate bay. You need to hunt to find ones that are raw and not slipstreamed or auto activated, but they are certainly there. I also recommend you get one with XP SP2, and one with XP SP3

Interesting concept, big fan but a few questions.
Do you not get lost often with audiobooks when doing other stuff? Like when I'm even listening to music I sometimes lose focus and by the time I regain focus a song I like has just ended without me realising. I would love to do this but feel like I would miss out on a lot of information or would have to constantly move the book back 30 seconds because I lost focus. How do you get around this?

I try to only listen when I’m doing something repetitive and mindless- walking to work, on the bus, doing chores especially, working out, and doing repetitive tasks at work that involve data entry or repetitive excel work.

Today I cleaned my apartment. Vacuuming is so fucking boring .

I also try to make them to red physical books as often as possible.

One thing I like that feels very luxurious to listening to audiobooks when I play video games. I set the game volume down very low. Not too story driven games.

Thanks user

So this year ive decided that I am going to bulk without getting fat, quit porn and smoking weed, learn guitar, and become the slayer of bitches I have always wanted to be.

Does anyone have that Lord of the Rings jpg about quitting porn? I need it for motivational reasons.

honestly don't even know what to advise an 18 year old to do on tinder. it didn't exist when I was 18, and I'm not sure whether coffee dates are weird or not at 18.

if not, talk for a bit and build rapport. ask for something that isn't tinder like phone number or snapchat or something then talk a bit on there then ask her to grab coffee sometime.

what is that manga

The cut is going OK, I've slipped up four times so far though but its working and I'm cracking down on everything over time.
Next step is to start looking for a more stable job, at the moment I never know when I'm working, what i will be doing or if I'm going to get paid.
Also I need more money to pay for a new headset and bottom bracket for my new frame, I miss riding even though its only been two months.

Whats a good number of hobbies

I fucked up /SIG/. Didn't know who to tell so I'm telling you.

It's all good bro. We all make mistakes and the path to success is filled with roadblocks, potholes, and delays. Fucking up isn't inherently a horrible thing.

What happened? How are you going to learn from it? How are you going to make the best of the situation that you're now in?

I'm slowly losing control of my life. I finally had it together and I'm slowly losing it. Of course I'm telling myself that tomorrow's another day and that as long as I get back on track, it won't matter in the long run. But I can feel myself losing it. Slowly, but surely.

good stuff

how did you all get started?

I feel like there are lots of things I want to do, but end up doing nothing instead because it's always easier.

english not my first language but i'll try to help.

think of your life as it is. make a list of things you should cut out. there probably are more then what you're gonna list, but start with that.

when that's done identify the ones that are hurting you the most, and the ones you know you could easily stop doing.

start with that. when you got those under control, move on to the next one, then to the next one.

you'll end up living the life you want.

i'll take myself as an example. i was a drunk, cigarette smoker, with heavy coke tendencies. obviously shit diet, apartment was a mess, and obviously in debt. a gambler too. addicted to porn, had a few good years sexually speaking in my late teens but nothing worth of mention in the last five years or so. also i fell out of education in my early twenties and was working a shit job. that's what i wanted to change.

so i started with the obvious. i needed to quit the coke, the drinking and the smoking. fuck the rest for now that was #1 priority. so to compensante those bad habits i started working out. it's not even that i wanted to work out and get ripped, i just did it so i wasn't at the bar drinking. so naturally my debt fixed itself. since i was going to the gym i started eating clean. went down from 225lbs to 180lbs (i'm 6'1). i'm not ripped yet but close. also i am now running 10kms five times a week plus the lifting and can honestly say i feel in shape.. apartment is always clean. now i have a long term vision for my life. i'm still struggling with porn and sex life, but i'm narrowing down the factors that drive me to it (Veeky Forums being an obvious trigger - whereas i didn't even think of Veeky Forums as a problem when i first started my journey).

so yeah. don't even think of what you want to do. think of what's hurting you. what you're regularly doing that you shouldn't do. start by not doing that.

thank you for your reply. really gives an interesting perspective. wish you the best man.

How do I quit party lifestyle if I live in a party heavy region?

Yesterday I went to chill with people in a park where we usually smoke and drink. Everything was going good, two litres of vodka, got closer to this one really hot girl. Something might've happened if I didn't have a smoke as well, which led me to sleeping on the ground under a tree for two hours.

I'd like to quit but it's just so fun when I'm around with people and everyone's drinking. I know my limits but everytime I end up drinking more.

Also I'm supposed to do ecstasy next weekend with a couple of girls and it's hard to say no.

Help

it's actually really easy to stop drinking. all you need to do is not take the bottle, bring it to your lips and make the sipping motion with your lips.

Please help.

For 2 1/2 years I binged on sugary junk food–pints of ice cream, bags of candy, jars of Nutella, entire boxes of sugar pops cereal, in one sitting, at 3:52 in the morning, while shit posting until my brain was numb. I actually lost weight due to severe depression.
I'm doing better now.

Here's my question:

How fucked am I?
How badly have you eaten at times and for how long? Is binge eating common? Do you think I can reverse the damage done?

It seems like most of the newest food science is indicating sugar is battery acid for your arteries and heart.

It literally doesn't matter. It's in the past. It's done and there's nothing you can do to change that. What you can do though is never do it again, eat clean for the rest of your life and systematically better yourself.

there's nothing you can do about previous intake. iirc research is also showing that some damages acute sugar intake causes actually reduces with time like insulin sensitivity etc.

just focus on what you can control which is what you eat now.

A mate and I are going to run a marathon in June both our first. I've been sedentary for to many years. I'm a plumber so active at work but that's it. I'm 31 so should be a fun and tough road. Currently smelly mode. Doing strength training at the moment then start the running

The OP with questions is totally retarded. Nobody cares or reads them, and they take up too much space and flood the thread. Why not just leaving /sig/ for people actually posting their thoughts, stories and questions?

Fuckyes
Don't miss out on starfish/behemoth too

Pretend that you are a person that lacks a college degree, only knows to speak English, and lacks any artistic skill such as drawing and playing an instrument. For self improvement purposes, what would be the first class you'd take?

I second this. /sig/ started with sharing self improvement resources and advice. The OP had a reading list. I don't know why that questionnaire started at all.

Where do you get audiobooks, i want to get a colelction, but paying for like 10 books on audible is not something i want, also want to get a better place to download book. Anyone know where i can get "the like switch" for free?

Really depends on what you are interested in?

A trade skill class maybe? Or if you're interested in one then a foreign language. Beginner/conversational classes are common enough in languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Chinese.
Or you could do an introductory art class just to learn the basics in a structured form.
Or you could take an introduction to computer science/coding class.

Doesn't matter as long as you enjoy those hobbies and do them often. Don't take too much tho, as it will overwhelm you and you'll dwindle some hobbies off in the end

My only goal this year food wise is to make better food choices in general and to eat more of it. My goal is to maintain a weight of ~185lbs and in between 10 to 12%bf. Also, mulling around the idea of going ovo-lacto vegetarian 6 days a week for lent, only eating quality meat on sundays (choice cuts of beef, fatty fish, turkey, etc.), and only drinking water... Not because of all the bullshit vegan propaganda, but just because of the sacrifice and discipline.

Rich, fit, charming, smart.

But all I think about is my ex who I haven't seen in person since summer of 2015 and have only chat with a couple times. I know she's over me but I think about her every day. I would trade all this money, knowledge, social gains, physical gains, just to talk with her one more time.

But, at the end of the day, I think about her during any self improvement task. It is like fuel that never runs out. I worry that if I ever get back together with her, the self improvement motivation will dry up.

Is unrequited love worth living with if earning its reciprocity is your motivation to succeed?

It's a catch 22. I self improve for her, but if I get her I don't think I can continue to self improve.
