How you guys holding up?

I'm gonna ask a girl for her # guys

Tig welding, the company l was contracted with’s owner died
Nice old man, was a great guy but now there’s 23 of us out of work

You’ll be fine, just be yourself

>26 KV
>living with my parents since college
>working shitty low skill job I didn't even need a degree for
>too lazy/scared to apply for a big boy job
>zero friends
>steal glimpses of pretty girls at the gym imagining how it would feel to be their boyfriend
>the only time I feel happy is when I can watch porn after my parents fall asleep
so to answer your question OP, I'm not doing too great.

Do you actually volunteer? If so no big deal.

If you don't actually volunteer, and you think this girl is worth keeping, either decide to learn how to play an instrument and just play for her on your own (i.e. impress her) or find some reason why you can't go like the church is relocating or the group is being disbanded

I’m addicted to pornography and whacking off, I relapsed today and feel like shit, I just want to feel loved, be married and have a stable job I don’t hate, just washed down some Benadryl with some NyQuil on an empty stomach, should fall asleep soon.... I hope

im in my early twenties and will probably end up like you because im an ugly manlet

why fucking bother

My one real issue is that inviting a girl (whose really just a solid 6) that I'm trying to bang to church is a bit... off is all

I am trying to compile a book, workout, get over a small shoulder injury, go to school full-time, work damn near full-time, get over this qt, get gf, move the fuck out, marry said qt, maybe live steadily and happily?

You should stop trying to bang thots

Best of luck

I honestly think its time user but I have to deal with this one

>mfw she said shes atheist but still wanted to come anyways

>ate some snacks after I got home today
>turns out it was 180 grams of sugar

hold me bros I'm about to die

Well good, take her to church and see if you can help her be less of a thot

Not really

>big
>4U

one of these days I'm going to start working out and eating right
haha
one of these days

It's not as hard as you think

well eating right certainly was easier when I was in college buying my own food
those were better days

you guys gotta travel, a new outlook on life is hard to get from the same vantage point. You live with your parents? save money and travel, take an internship abroad, do you have a hobby? where is the mecca or headquarters for it? go there, do it, do it with with style, your own style. the world is a book those, whose dont travel read one page.

Been out with this girl 3 times already and I’m too much of a pussy to make a move ....

I just hope she doesn't get attached or anything

mixed bag. eating to much but lifts going up. about to finish student loans but don't want to be temporarily broke. minor feels

I don't have a girlfriend and I want one. I'm finally over my ex and I don't know what kid of girl I want. All the girls at college are sluts and I'm getting really fucking sick of boning sluts.

This teenage girl checked me out at the gym today, I'm 24.

Graduated in December. Went to Cancun at the end of last year. Partied. Met some great people. Hooked up with two girls.

While I was in school, I started to apply for my country's national police, and my application is ongoing and going pretty good so far. I've also started an application for my city's police force. I really think law enforcement is the most fitting career path for me, and I could maybe even utilize my degree if I can get into a national security specialization.

Pretty good so far right?

Now I'm out of school and got a job with my old landscaping company. It's been the longest month of my life for some reason. For some reason it's hard not to feel down. This job is supposed to be temporary but I feel if I'm not proactive enough this will be my life and I hate that. I don't understand how people can scrap by with this amount of money. I feel like I should be more ahead at this point.

I feel now like career is the most important thing for me now, I need to focus on that. More than just financial security, I want a reason to get up in the morning. I want status and prestige and respect. I've got plenty to catch up to in regards to my peers. Former friends are doing architecture masters, starting engineering jobs etc. I want to be on their level.

Maybe it's time I also got serious with a girl.

hello me.

>every day at work i count the minutes until i can go home
>when i finally do or have the day off i don't even do anything
>don't even know what kind of real job i'd apply for anyway

you're just caught in a cycle mate, the first steps are the hardest when breaking out of these kinds of patterns

iktf.

that was me at the gym today as well. i just did some singles on ohp and said fuck it

you'll find work man, welding is a respectable trade. remember to not succumb to the negativity and enjoy the simpler things instead. being despondent and feeling heavy all the time drains the energy from you and you do things less effectively.

sounds like a classic case of "i want to be with a woman but am afraid of taking initiative." this should be proof that you are desirable, you simply have not had the opportunity or volition to take the necessary action.

you should be taking sobriety more seriously if you have a problem, booze ruins people

something else is bothering you.

go for it brody, you'll feel great afterwards regardless of the outcome

it's time to commit, user. doesn't seem like the alternative -- shying away from responsibility -- is offering you any happiness or fulfillment.

go heavy into nofap. meditate 5-10 min a day and avoid the drug/triggers. you may even have to change your diet for the mental clarity. i suggest that you do

sounds good. don't lose focus

you probably knew it was that sugary to begin with, come on now

damn that sounds like me, minus the gym and plus a couple friends

BRING HER BACK TO THE LIGHT user

>tfw worked up the courage to ask out a girl that i liked
>actually went through with it and talked to her and have been more social in the new year in general
>got rejected though, so the whole thing is bittersweet

at least i know i can now, but it still kinda stings

user I will try but I don't want a relationship with her or her getting feelings for me, there are girls at church who are infinitely hotter than she is and never have been thots but I won't disrespect them by trying to bang them.

I know I know, I'm a complete degenerate jerk

>t. Goebbels

just tfw

i've been on Veeky Forums for 5 years now lifting and working on improving myself other ways but it's no use. The inertia of my life seems to have been set from an early age and I don't think i can dig myself out of this hole faster than I'm sinking. I'm about to turn 24 and graduate from my grad program. If I don't have some semblance of happiness or satisfaction by 25 i'm going to end it.

Had a very rough January in terms of physical health. The way it affected my appetite and energy levels basically ruined weeks if not months of progress and now it is also taking a toll on my mental health, depression is slowly coming back. Was in a lot of pain, especially last week, but I think the worst is over now. It seems like my life is a constant rollercoaster with periods of feeling great followed by absolute misery, recovering and repeat.

I miss my ex
Hold me bros I might not make it
If I don't make it tell her I've never stopped loving her

been doing a new job for a few months, slowly perfecting my fake smile and want to kill myself less and less

It’s almost 1 month since my gf dumped me, I were doing okay till I saw her Saturday at a party , all the shit I tried to forget hit me hard.
Now I am sitting at work and listening to lil Peep , shit is making it even worse

It finally happened. Shit.
>family birthday
>people ask "hey user have you got a girlfriend yet?"
>"oh, no? okay i suppose you got to take it slow and its not easy to find the right one"
I thought it was just a meme. Why don't people just mind their own business?

Pray for help from Jesus. You can win still you are young. Make a goal!

Don't worry, anons, it gets better. Week after week it does get better. Try lurking Veeky Forums and find a field thet interests you, I've found that hard mental labour (memorising, highly abstract reasoning) helps much more with forgetting your ex than working out or partying. It may sound a bit like shit you'd find on pinterest, but you should substitute your addiction with hunger for knowledge

Not very good as usual. I'm racked with anxiety and especially guilt over psychopathic shit I did when I was younger (I used to torture animals for example.) My family has a solid history of mental illness too. Mom and sister both have taken SSRIs and the latter had a bad cutting problem growing up. Meanwhile my dad has admitted to me a big scar he has is from stabbing himself with a huge piece of glass in neurotic rage and he also has serious anger issues which he's gone to counseling for plus he was in prison for nearly 10 years.

Nowadays I have a conscious which I regularly talk to. It restrains me a lot and that's an excellent thing because sometimes I get this sensation in my core that ripples throughout my muscles where I just want to fucking ruin somebody. Like take them and obliterate their existence. This harming thing extends to me too, I've taken drugs before and viciously scratched my skin to the point where it scabbed and peeled. I felt this severe self-hatred where I wanted to go Postal on everything. Obviously I can't talk to a mental health doctor about these problems since I'd literally be thrown in the psychiatric ward and they tried to put me in there before as they labeled me suicidal during my first overdose. I don't even know what's wrong with me, I want to say I have BPD but there are so many attention-whores that I myself come off as one of them. I want to be normal. I want to be happy and healthy. Rarely I look towards the future and get a glimmer of hope though. All I really want is a soulmate who will love me unconditionally forever. Sorry for sounding like a little bitch by the way, one of the reasons why I have a hard time talking to people about my sorrow is precisely due to the fact that I think I come off as a sappy emo subhuman. Luckily I'm good at hiding all of these ugly emotions in public so my coworkers and friends have zero clue of this. I hope one of these days I don't snap and actually kill myself and/or others.

Finally had the courage to ask my oneitis to prom last year, she said yes, asked her out on a date later, she said no. fuck

Pretty shit

>Losing interest/faith in this girl i'm seeing - she just doesn't really put in any effort into us anymore and that makes me sad since its the first girl to actually show interest in me for ages, also she likes me for who I actually am.

>Relatives over from UK forcing me out of my room, meaning that I'm getting really shitty sleep

>Went to a party the other day and it made me realize how lonely I am when looking around and seeing all these people interacting

>Body dysmorphia kicking right in - have had compliments from lots of normies, but still feel like trash when looking in the mirror

>haven't had sex in almost a year

>Feel like I'm missing out on the 'prime of my life' when I look at all my old school friend's IGs

Fuck me lads I just wanna blast myself.

Same here. My advice, reach out to friends and family, see a therapist. I used to be like this completely, but now it usually only lasts a few weeks before I find a temporary solution. It helps

Thanks for taking time to respond....

Just fucking boredom desu. Perpetual, inescapable all eroding pure-bred boredom. Its not like i live in bumfuck nowhere, I just get bored so easily. What do?

>Hangout with girl
>Have sex
>Want her to leave
>She wants to hang
>Boredom commences

>Hangout with guy friends
>Talk
>Go about doing random shit
>Boring

>Go to class
>Navigate trough painfully irrelevant social interactions with people I generally dont like
>Lecturer opens his mouth
>Try not to fall into never ending coma

>Go to work at a bar
>Genuinely be bored after an hour
>Get shitfaced out of boredom
>Next day is ruined

>Go home
>Look around
>Browse the internet for 20 minutes
>Boredom sets in

>Look for movie
>Spend hours finding the right one (really autistic and I dislike movies I havent seen before)
>Immense boredom sets in after 10 minutes
>Close movie

>Go workout
>Girls are looking good today
>They become the boring and unimportant thots they are after 10 minutes

Why can I only enjoy the moment either on drugs or if I am doing something that has a purpose in it, like a road-trip somewhere or meeting new girls? Why does everything become so utterly and painfully boring after a while? What do?

What do you actually do to truly enjoy the presence in spite that the presence fucking sucks and there is nothing exciting about it? There is no escaping this eternal problem

Talk about it with your girl. Sounds like she cares about you a lot and will help you through this. If not, and she refused to deal with emotional stuff after that long of dating, it was a toxic relationship and you need do gtfo

Girl I love told me she doesn't love me anymore and ended the happiest relationship I've ever been in.
Gonna just throw myself into gym and my job till this depression ends, wish me luck my dudes

Realizing im incel 25 Kissless Virgin desu

Try finding a forum for people like this. I don't have it, but just talking and hearing stories helps my own problems. I'd also suggest doing Christian confession. I'm an atheist, but it really helps me to just get things off my chest to somebody who I know won't tell anybody.

Good on you user, hopefully that smile will stop being fake soon!

>tfw simply just bored of everything

not depressed, I just want to do gym and go on the computer all day really but even that doesn't give me much joy.

Pretty good actually.

Dated a girl for 7 months who lived in a different state. Spent like 3000 dollars on travel, dates and gifts. I would even help her pay for shit like bills if it was a tough month for her. I legit loved this girl but she cheated on me anx left me. Ended up drinking a lot. Got to the highest weight Ive ever been at 280 pounds. This was in May of last year.

Since then I have lost 40 pounds, got a drivers license, bought a car, started making music again, got a promotion at work and the slut has been crossing my mind less and less as time goes on. Still struggle a bit with drinking but Ive cut.it down from like 80 ounces a day to 30 so Im slowly getting there. Im getting a haircut on Friday and I think I wanna join a dating site or something. I feel like I've made a lot of progress and want to meet another girl.

>23
>regular sex with qt girlfriend of 2 years
>it's good too, which I didn't expect after 2 years
>got a raise about 2 months ago at my job, highest pay I've ever had
>can soon by an Accord I've had my eye on for a year
>lifts going up steadily despite only having time to hit the gym 2-3 times a week
>turning 24 this saturday, friends planned huge party with 30+ people invited

>all i want to do is cancel the party, quit my job, dump the gf, and stay in 24/7 playing video games, watching movies and posting on the chan.

I basically have everything i've wanted myself to have when i was 18 and it doesn't make me happy whatsoever.
I'm relatively sure that the problem is with me, not the world.

exact same situation desu

tried the travelling meme, tried the education (post-grad) meme and now trying the career meme.

simply haven't been happy since I was 9-17 yrs old tearing it up on morrowind/cod4/runescape/vanilla and BC WoW

where do i even start

I haven't found a specific forum but that's because I've noticed anonymous imageboards are the best. Others like Reddit not only generally have a bad community but also tie an identity to you which I'm really uncomfortable with because I know these thoughts are perverted and I don't to associate anything of mine with them.

Not sure about the confession thing. I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it. I've done some seriously iniquitous things that only I'm aware of and I really don't want to show the outside what's in. I've tried to talk to a wall in private and even then I couldn't bring myself to let out a peep I'm too chagrined.

I don't want to be a sociopath but I do at the same time. I feel I'll never change so I should embrace it and try my hardest to wipe my empathy away since it's the one torturing me over this in the first place. I want to do evil things and not care but there's an achy pain in my chest whenever I try now. My dad has told me I've said to him that I heard voices when I was younger. He replied one of those voices in my head was my consciousness, the thing that separates us from animals, and that I should always listen to it and it alone. I have awful willpower though so the bad thoughts bleed through sometimes. Fucking hell I don't even know what's "normal" anymore. I don't want to think as a monster. But for some reason I can't let go of the past no matter how hard I try. I can scream and kick all I want internally yet I still "feel" the way that I do.

I'm not even going to get into my problems with dysthymia. Goddamn I sound like I belong on /r9k/. I don't act this way at all in my normal life though. People are usually taken aback in shock when I talk about some of my more "palatable" issues. Sometimes I feel as if nobody takes me seriously because I put on such a happy charismatic facade in public. Just how two-dimensional do my acquaintances see me?

Bro run. Sprint. Run until your tied... Be out of breath, still have g those thoughts after being exhausted? Sprint more. Run until you can't run anymore. Change your pain. Run. May the infinite be with you.

I think you've got a point. I might become a cardiobro. I used to run a lot when I was a kid but I stopped because... I don't know. I guess I lost interest but I want to all of the sudden now.

Get out of your comfort zones. You both day your bored, well USE your brain to create something to be entertained with! .
Bored with that girl that wants to hangout? Freaking imagine the best time ever and do it. Bake fucking cookies and dance to music while baking.

Bored in history class? Imagine yourself as a character in the time.period your studying and imagine what you would do in that situation. Imagine what you wouldn't do, imagine what you would never do. Imagine imagine imagine imaginary things things you can't even imagine.

>tfw someone saved my fall wojack picture
Feels good man.

I feel you brother, I've noticed that this constant boredom comes and goes like the seasons. It's boring for a couple months, then happy times then boredom again.

Perhaps it's just part of life.

Bro find someone to talk too(at least that wall ) might be best way to start my bro! And if you want my way of getting through the dark voices, look into philosophy. You might have fun trying to understand it all. (You might even find some enlightening truths :D)

Woah do you see that last emoji as a exited dude with a parenthesis at the end or a dude with a nose and a emails? Lol. Stay up my bro. The infinite loves you no matter what.....
Why are we even here?... ;)
Much love.

Drunkenly texted my ex gf last night. Ended up sending her a picture of a kid with downs syndrome saying oops forget I texted you.

Kek, pretty embarrassing desu.

We all love you bro. There's a million reasons why everything happens. A billion reasons why we think what we think. It's no use trying to get flustered with what we think.

You need to find a higher purpose my man. I don't mean you need to go out and let god into your heart or whatever, but you need to have some sort of long term goal or vision for you future.

Maybe you want a home? Property in the countryside? A family? A dream car? Personally I think you need to have a real raison d'etre or else you will eventually just feel nihilistic about everything.

Maybe envision yourself 5, 10 years from now and come up with somewhere you'd really like to be and then work towards that, sometimes it helps with filling the day with purpose.

Or you could become an e-beggar... I mean twitch streamer, since you already have an affinity for conversing with autists over the internet, it might work out well.

Thanks, you guys are awesome. I have blessings from all these amazing people. I don't want to let you down. I might not know you personally but these wishes resonate within me regardless.

Been lifting on and off for ages, never taking it too seriously, never getting very far. I knew there was a reason why I wanted to do it, but I could never actually find the words for it. It wasn't for women, it wasn't to look good, it wasn't to be strong but I knew there was something.

Today I realised that I lift to improve my self worth. The other stuff seems nice too, but this is the main one. I feel like I'll probably stick to it this time.

I think I'll go for a kid.
GF and parents are already constantly nagging me for it and the idea of having a son makes me smile like a dumbass.

That should both keep me busy and give purpose. Plus where I live the government's going absolutely batshit with all the grants and benefits they are giving young couple who start families.

i run 5 km (30 min) for the first time in my life. Lost 34 kg so far, 17 to go.

t. fatty

>tfw new girl im talking to cancelled on me today
>tfw really hope it's not fucked

come on she's cool and fun

keep going

I need physical adrenaline before something excites me. Imagining and daydreaming stuff up will only make me want to recluse.

Ye bruh i will. i remember when i first started running i couldn't even run more than 1 minute, shit was depressing. Every time i was feeling like never gonna make it, i remind myself that scene.

I thought I was over my oneitis already. I was retardedly obsessed with her for a while but I've since cut her out of my life almost a year ago now to better myself. I haven't even so much as thought of her in a long time, but somehow she came up today and my friends all took turns taking shots at me over how stupid I was all that time ago, and how she cucked the fuck out of me. I laughed along with them at the time but I've been feeling super down over it ever since.

It still hurts brehs.

I hope shit goes well for you user
