Feels thread

same. trying to cut out toxic shit like porn and processed foods. im failing on all fronts captain

is there any benefits to jerking off less? I've become addicted and i think I'm losing blood flow to my member along with its sensitivity. i need motivation to quit

>making gains
>gaining confidence socially
>think everything is going well
>have dream where a bunch of chads wanted to be friends with me
>i acted like an autistic screaming retard because i thought they were trying to trick me
>they were legitimately nice and i ruined it
>wake up and realise i would probably do the same thing irl
>reminded by my subconscious that none of it matters because i'm broken inside

Absolutely, you feel the effects as if you were taking a mild dose of Test E, even though studies may show test doesnt increase with nofap. You will feel like a new person, for me, there is no comparison.

I agree with this. I don't think it has to do with test, I think it has to do with a shift in focus.

what are some subtle changes you notice? help my placebo effect

I don't even belong on Veeky Forums (yet, hopefully that'll change), so if you call me a dickhead for giving out advice on a board I don't really belong to, so be it
But from what I've seen on this board, is that you guys work your bodies out but not your minds. There's a saying in latin: "Mens sana in corpore sano" which essentially means "Healthy mind inside a healthy body"
I think more than today, people are forgetting one or the other. I'm not saying you should get a therapist, user, but try and think about your feelings, not just "lift them away." The same way a landwhale gaymer will never face the mirror to see how horribly deformed his body became from him stagnantly shitposting on the internet and playing videogames, and instead he'll just run to the computer. He should try to work out a bit, the same way you shouldn't just try to run away from your problems the moment they manifest and face them.

I've seen the phrase "to make it" being used here a lot, I don't the definition is set, but I think it should mean that you are happy with yourself both physically and mentally and that you accept yourself the way you are. No matter how much pussy/dick you'll get, you'll never reach peak happiness.

>Soon you'll find a girl you really care about, just as much as the old one
not opee but my ex broke up with me a year and a half ago and i feel like out of all the women i've met no one comes close. i feel like sometimes you really do have to settle or compromise if you don't want to be alone.

>7 month relationship.
>love starts to peter out, both not putting in effort to see each other
>would rather be alone than be together on nights
>break up two days ago
>tfw no Bf again.

I knew it was coming Bros, but it still hurts. It’s just absolute shit timing and everything’s kind of falling apart around me.

I miss her.

>date girl for 3 months
>going good, feel like she really loves me
>two weeks ago starts becoming distant out of the blue
>breaks up, no contact
>later find out she only used me to cheat on her so

I had no reasons to be suspicious, but yeah she lied about pretty much everything. 3rd time this happened too fml

>be fat kid, dating high school sweetheart
>date for 7 years, go to same uni
>start losing weight whilst at uni due to sports
>get Veeky Forums
>gf doesn't like that I got Veeky Forums, thinks I'll leave her
>she ends up cheating on me with some skinny guy
>we break up, she starts dating him
>this was August 2017
>she signed up to my gym in Jan
>comes in all the time to do cardio
>she her smiling at me when I'm here
>too heart broken to talk to her
>end up ghosting girls on Tinder because I'm still hurt
>go to gym whenever I feel sad so now all my lifts are improving as fitness is my only passion now
>all my old hobbies have been tainted by her

Managed to hit a PR on DL the other day because I know she was looking at me. Doesn't change anything in the end though.

What does it feel like to like a girl and her like you back? Asking for a friend haha

feels like happiness

read this
sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/Jung_MotherArchetype.pdf

Particularly the "Overdevelopment of the Eros" part on page 22

>no brain fog
>more confidence
>less anxiety in public
>i get shit done

you'll make it.
brake ups make bodybuilders

can you summ this up?

My friends girl is like this, he was really fit when they met but he let himself go. Now that he started working out again she bitches about it.

>had a dream the other night that I finally got a girlfriend
>it was this 8/10 girl I knew in highschool
>she was genuinely into me but I didn’t realize until the next year when one of her friends told me
>at that point it was too late because she already had boyfriend
>I’m 22 now, and that is still the closest I’ve ever gotten to having a girlfriend
>I know that that the only reason I can’t get a girlfriend is because I’m utterly uniteresting and have no confidence
>The only things I know how to talk about are cars, guns and video games, all of which are things that grils couldn’t care less about
>I’m so damn lonely

Does it ever get better? Is there still hope?

she was literally perfect for me and I let everything fall apart right in front of my face

>185

better be kg

Ok I will try to be as concise as possible, as it is quite a dense and potentially confusing subject.

Context: Basically, Carl Jung (the author) argued that we have a "collective unconscious" which is the part of us that contains, for example, our instincts. The crux of his argument that differentiates him from others is that he believes these instincts and unconscious contents are collective, in the sense that all people have them innately, as a product of genetic similarity (i.e. we are all genetically similar insofar as we are humans).

This paper/section: Here he argues that the way this unconscious content, called an "archetype", is expressed leads to different personalities. Thus, we have different mother-complexes, depending on how the person is raised/what they experience, and how this influences the expression of the mother archetype.

Of relevance to you: If the "Eros" (sexual 'instinct") in a women is overdeveloped, then the maternal is neglected, resulting in a certain "mother complex" which results in the chick you described earlier: only interested in sexual relations, not the compassionate/pairing aspects.

>been cutting for 6 months
>still look like a fatass even though I dropped 40 lbs
>making no gains, curl the same 25s every week, bench the same weight, anything heavier just feels impossible
>have recently lost all motivation to hit the gym
>why does it matter
>I’m so alone

Maybe the Veeky Forums life just isn’t for me, I obviously don’t care enough

Different poster, but this is quite interesting. Having a similar experience with someone else, will read. Thanks!

No problemo. Carl Jung is a very good place to start understanding the fundamental differences between the sexes, among many other things. And if you travel far enough down Jung's work, you can realise a lot about yourself (google: "The Red Book"). But be prepared to re-read passages as they are hella dense with wisdom

It feels like warmth, bliss, and joy all at the same time.

Eat a bit more but add cardio.

I'm terrible at concentration but when I read page 22 that hit me in the face. Hard. Keen to read the entire thing.

Although I'm an aspiring orthodox christian, I'm wondering if there's any sort of conflict here? Still will read despite going against my world view, don't worry about that.

Try giving head faggot

>see cutie at bus stop
>accidentally made eye contact
>look away
>she walked past me to check the board
>accidentally made eye contact again
>bus is here
>she boards it too
>mire her ass from behind when going up stairs
I wanna fuck that ass so bad but I'm 25% fatfuck

Not the user you responded to but thank you anyway, I needed that.
Now get your ass to the gym and get as shredded physically as you seem to be mentally.

Welcome to being the lonely Chad. Im the rebound fuck, the good luck chuck. Last 4 girls I dated for a short time and fucked all got married. Freaking me out but none can form a proper emotional attachement to me

I started working out after a breakup and went from Auschwitz mode to almost otter mode. Witht the new muscle mass I noticed I have a half inch gap between my pecs and one of my ab is forever fucked (a surgery from when I was young fused two of them together) which makes me want to cry because I'll never have good aesthetics

Breh 90% of men have 0 common interest with 90% of women but people still hook up.

Just be confident about yourself and don't be a creep.

>broke up with girlfriend of 3 years. Broke her heart. Because I didn't think our relationship would work.
>started dating a girl 7 years younger than me
>started good but when the high wore off I started missing my ex
>I regret my decision of breaking up every day
>I still remember her crying not to let her go
>she was ready to marry me
>now im blocked everywhere, dont know where she is or with who
>what should I do brehs

Suck shit

zach?

grills have no concept of aestetics as Veeky Forums does. no girl will ever notice, i promise.

Don't expect to make gains while cutting.

>>have gf that I don't love any more
break up with her.

Lol get wrecked dude

It's like I'm on /r9k/.

Veeky Forums is just /r9k/ with muscles

Hmmm, it's quite scary how similair your experience is. I've never tried to be a chad, nor do I want to be used like this, same as you I just want a normal relationship

In all honesty I'm stressed that as you put it, none have yet formed a proper emotional bond with me. When they're done with you, you can fuck off even if you actually started to love them, cold as fuck. That's the thing that hurts most

no

Been thinking about just going full Roman legionaire lately, change my diet, simple full body strength movements, sports and cardio. Lifts improving has always been something I cared about the least, I just want to be healthy and lose this weight.

You're gay mate. Congratulations on coming out of the closet to us.

>Be fatfuck around new years
>210lbs, 30%bf, 6'1"
>Start working with PT from January 3rd
>Today stand on the scale testing all the precentages
>Now just barely 200lbs, 24,7%bf, gained 4,5lbs of muscle
>feels good man

Fuck yeah man. Keep pushing and don't give up

>feel like I'm too good for tinder thots
>go on catholic match
>there's no competition
>still feel like I'm not good enough for these godly women

Not going to. For the first time in my life I have a workout schedule that isn't fueled by self hatred, but rather self respect. Feels fucking great man.

y-you too

>reformed born-again """virgins"""

I told my best friend i love them, I just kinda thought maybe their was that glimmer of hope they felt the same but i was wrong. On the good side I weighed in at 196 the other day, i was 260 back in September.

>catholic
>reformed born again

this cute, pure, wholesome girl I have a crush on, just got a disgusting bull nose ring piercing... FUCKING WHY AHHHHHH

You kidding? Nose rings are hot.

yeah, so fucking hot dude

Absolutely. Crazy is great

fact

>nobody has ever called themselves catholic while not being catholic

whoa

Don’t this chick I’m getting with also has a septum piercing but she tucks it away when I’m about because they just look awful

It's been 2 years since I broke up with my ex and I still can't get over her so I started lifting 2 months ago. Maybe I'll meet a new girl and forget about her if my autism allows it.

In pain every day of my life. Thought it was a bulged disc doctor told me my back is perfectly fine. But what gives I can't lift I can't stand I can't walk I can't bend I can't lay down. My hip is high on one side, my shins are rotated I can't fix it with surgery. I'm going to order a bunch of psychielics and forget my life

holy shit I relate to this too much fuck lol

I feel warm inside

>I'm going to order a bunch of psychielics and forget my life

oH boy you are in for a surprise

>wasting TWO WHOLE YEARS of your life thinking about some girl

Holy shit how do people like this even exist

post pics

>he thinks 2 years is too much

I spent 6 years chasing after a chick who got obese whilst spurning hot chicks left, right and centre. Even got her name tattooed on me.

You're literally a genetic dead end my dude

The only thing you can do to make it is still working on bettering yourself and one day it will all be ok. If you become sad and stop everything, you will regret it and be a sad fat piece of shit.

so basically she’s a whore but saying it scientifically?

if you still lift the same weights while cutting that means you're not losing gains. don't worry brah you're gonna make it keep that chin up

You made a choice, be a man and stick to it, regret is unprofessional. Learn from the choice that you made so that you don't make the mistake again.
You'll be okay user, just keep pushing forward

Never took a before pic. Also not going to post my shit on Veeky Forums
