Is life really as difficult as it seems? I see people around me going to very competitive universities and having great bodies and good jobs and when they talk they seem so sure of themselves and it all seems so foreign like they can only do all that because they're better than me in every way and I could never achieve that. I think I'm incompetent. Am I really or am I just kind of a pussy? How can I do these things too?
>>
first step is to stop whining like a bitch. Go from there.
>>
>>16935219
I'm asking a question, not really whining
Be helpful
>>
I dont know man. I just have way too low energy and drive for that stuff. I just want to lie in my couch tbqh.
>>
>>16935222
That is your answer. Stop whining like a bitch and do something about it. Nobody gets anywhere by whining like a bitch and feeling sorry for themselves, and NO I am not going to sugarcoat it for you.

Man up, pussy.
>>
>>16935222
Increase your testosterone.

Take vitimin d, zinc, and magnesium. Lift free weights. Do Reg Parks routine. Eat better. Do cardio. Shoot some guns.

You're suffering from a severe case of pussy disorder.
>>
>>16935226
I know you think you're saying something worthwhile but you're really not
>>
>>16935232
Yes he is, pussy. Your dad should have hit you more.
>>
>>16935232
You can think that way all you want, but it doesn't make it any less true.
>>
>>16935227
I'm a girl so my testosterone is probably fine


>>16935223
I WANT to do these things but I always feel lost
Like yeah no this isn't working. Like I'm just wasting time
>>
>>16935241
You're a girl?

Then I don't really care. Do whatever, just don't get fat and you're living on easy mode.
>>
>>16935235
He isn't

He's telling me to do something about it but doesn't tell me how or what leaving me with as much information as I had before he appeared

Your dad should have stayed with your family
>>
>>16935212

No, life isn't as difficult as it seems. Maybe I'm unnaturally gifted, but I don't think I am. In my perspective, the most successful people are the ones who learned to game the system the best, not necessarily the ones who work the hardest.

Sure, some degree of effort is involved, but knowing that you don't have to do everything by the book is the key to life. Rules are just guidelines.

Fake it til you make it.
>>
>>16935241
marry a rich man. put out a lot. problem solved.

You have literally nothing to complain about.
>>
>>16935212
depends on if you want to be successful or not, and what makes you happy. if you are happy working a shit tier job, then life is pretty fucking easy.
>>
>>16935246
Oh gee, are you some retard from r9k or something? Then I don't think you're qualified to answer to this thread at all. I'm talking about feeling fullfilled and being competent here, how is not getting fat an answer to that just because I'm a girl?
And why would you care about helping me if I wasn't?
>>
>>16935248
Just sit there, you're a chick. A man will do it for you, don't worry princess.
>>
>>16935222
If this isn't whining I don't know what is.

You're literally whining that everyone but you has it great and that they're better than you etc.
>>
>>16935253
You're a faggot
In a minute or two you're gonna start that whole "man I have to work so hard and all girls have to do for me to want to fuck them is not be fat!!" thing that is so popular and then who'll be the whiner
>>
>>16935257
Because men can be taught to improve.

You're going in a pathetic little circle. He says don't whine and you're whining about him telling you not to whine.

Just be, princess. You're a lost cause.
>>
>>16935260
I'm asking if my perception is clouded or if being successful is really as difficult as it seems
>>
>>16935263
No, I'm tall and good looking. Chicks are easy. I'm actually motivated to do what I want in life and I'm working at it. And it's not for some dumb chick who can't get out of bed because it's just too hawwd.
>>
>>16935259
He's a man and he isn't doing shit to give me some insight yet. What gives
>>
>>16935276
He already gave you all the advice you need.

Stop whining and just do it. It is hard, but that's why life is fun. It would be boring if you just got what you want on a silver platter.
>>
>>16935273
Good for you
So why can't you answer the question like a normal human being and be actually helpful like sharing idk how you deal with stress in your life or what you do to keep motivated instead of just being a fedora tipping faggot and throwing this "man up pussy/princess" shit at me
>>
>>16935277
Do WHAT
I'm not asking for anything but guidance
>>
>>16935276
>He's a man and he isn't doing shit to give me some insight yet. What gives
Are you going to put out? Maybe I'll help you then. Otherwise, go find a man to put out to and he'll take care of you.
>>
>>16935280
That's how men motivate each other. We don't want a hugbox we want a slap in the face. It provides clarity and motivation, princess. I deal with stress by working out, drinking, and writing. I'm motivated because I'm inspired. It's intrinsic. If you can't be excited by something you want I'm sorry for you.
>>
>>16935291
Jesus Christ
Why are you on this board
>>
>>16935284
That's up to you. I'm going to be a successful stand up comedian because I love it. I am going to film school and working on my material as well as doing open mics and grinding.

You have to find out what you want, no one can choose it for you.
>>
>>16935294
>wahhh /adv/ isn't a hugbox
Should've posted this on gaia or reddit instead if you're looking for a hugbox.
>>
>>16935301
Gaia still exists? Cool

But yeah maybe, I'll go look for somewhere with less pent up rage and autism
>>
>>16935306
Have fun at the circleschlick, princess. And don't come back until you've grown up ;^)

You'll never be happy if you keep on comparing yourself to others and there will always be someone who is better than you at something. Instead, try to improve yourself even if you need to take baby steps. Don't have a good job? Keep looking. Work on your resume, be well groomed and be persistent. Don't forget to keep looking and everything will fall into place. If you're not happy with your body, it's something you can always work on so start lifting today. You can't do anything about your height if you're insecure about it, but lifting will definitely boost your confidence. A prestigious university doesn't mean shit as long as you go to college or a state university and get your degree. It still shows dedication and the fact that you're doing something with your life.

I personally don't care too much about having a well paying job because I'm focusing more on school and I'll worry about my career once that's over. Knowledge is much more self-fulfilling than wealth and I have more time to exercise and hang out with friends by working part time. Stop caring about what society sees as a high status citizen and start doing what makes you happy. That's what makes people attractive.
>>
>>16935222
You are whining and if you genuinely cannot see that, you are beyond help
>>
Nothing "everyone else is doing" is difficult because otherwise everyone else wouldn't be doing it. Achieving a good body, confidence and conversational skills is pretty straightforward, you follow a fitness program and put yourself into social situations every day and after a certain period of time you'll be there.

Entering to a good university and a good job is a bit harder but similarly straightforward, it's about putting the hours in. You don't need to be a genius to learn the contents of any school book, for they are made for the purpose of being understood by as many people as possible. All you need is some self-control to be able to sit down and study the book for as long as needed.

Some people need more time and effort, but eventually almost everyone can achieve the results. Spending a couple of hours a day doing these things for a consistent period of time isn't difficult.

Thanks guys
I get too overwhelmed so it's good to have ir simplified and broken down like this.
Sometimes I forget everyone was born knowing as much about the world as I did and there's nothing stopping me from learning what they did
>>
>>16935212
You just have to develop yourself. Just do shit and get better at doing shit and eventually you'll find yourself at a position that you like.

We all know how to self-improve, we dont do it though. We know how to work out and pursuit a higher education.

Confidence builds after a while. Your first day at work isn't like your third year there. You hold yourself better and your confidence is stronger. Time seasons you.

You should probably learn what words mean before you use them.

>>
>>16935750
Where did you get that notion. Cawdling isn't good social skills when it comes to changing somebody. It's enabling towards the same bad behavior.
>>
>>16935738
I'll shit on people when they deserve it. And when I get told I'm not good enough I try harder. I think you mean to say some people are weak, like you, muchacho.

Hey op, if all your friends would jump off a bridge, would you feel left out and want to jump off a bridge too?
>>
>>16935212
OP there are better places to get advice from. Where? Don't know but it has to be better that this latent homosexual gathering spot. I think /r9k/ has permanently stained /adv/.
>>
>>16935459
It's cute that you already knew the answer but needed someone to spell it out. Too bad you got confronted with such hostile opposition. Bitterness seems to motivate a lot of people here to get up in the morning and "not be a fucking faggot" - I don't believe that's necessary myself. Homophobia may be an effective motivator but it relies on historical perceptions of homosexuality and is essentially about doing things to appear a certain way to others, not to feel good about yourself.

I'm sure you can do it, just remember to do it for you.

Fair enough. I guess my post is invalid now.
>>
>>16935889
Your post was invalid as soon as you placed homophobic connotations on 'faggot' when used on 4chan. Have you not been to /b?

I haven't. Rumor has it the hacker known as 4 chan lives there and I'm scared.

If jumping out of a bridge seemed fun and I wasn't able to do cool flips and shit while jumping like they did then yeah a little

Punk ass fucktard.

Don't listen to him, OP, just do the shit you need to, de-stress by doing what you enjoy, and set some goals for yourself; only you can make yourself happy.
>>
>>16935212
>Is life really as difficult as it seems?
Yes it is. But that doesn't mean it's unrealistic.

Getting a degree is hard work. Getting (and maintaining) a good body is hard work. Getting a good job is hard work.

It's much easier to sit on a chair watching Asian cartoons and playing video games all day.

But those people you see with the degrees, good jobs and good bodies made a choice. They picked their priorities and worked towards them. That's all you have to do as well.

To me.
Life as it seems,seeemms HARD......

HOW I SEE IT, seem less hard.
HOW I SEE MYSELF, fuck u

Its is hard at first then it isnt.

Just keep goinh with any job. The job you have right now will take you anywhere. Put your mind into it. Just remember.... You have one councious out of. Seven....BILLION

With that job your in.....it will reedem your self confidence with the co workers. Dont keep your moth shut...
>>
>>16935212

Aim for realistic goals. You need to go out of your comfort zone in order to improve. Start small and work your way up.
>>
>>16935212

Stop whining, thats a good place to start.
>>
>>16935212
Life is as hard as you want it to be, with a few wild cards thrown in for good measure.
Do you want to go to an elite Uni, work your ass off, get a job really high up the food chain and make a shitload of money? Then you'll probably have to work your ass off to get there.
Are you fine with a decent job and just want to chill and have fun in your free time? That's not too hard for the most part.

The wild cards are what could dick you over. Some people just get insanely lucky or have their life already planned out for them, they'll be successful without having to work for it.
Some people work their ass off and just barely make a living in the end, that happens too.
And yes, it's unfair. Life is unfair, get used to it and make the best of it, do whatever makes you happy.

2 clever and unique comment
>>
>>16935212
OP, Id say most of the people just talk about the good things when it comes to them. Give it a try too, you may start to actually believe what you say and it becomes your life.

Being confident is like trying to sleep. You have to fake it first.
>>
>>16935212
Dude you're just suffering from low self esteem possibly a low grade emotional disorder talk to a therapist I bet it helps a lot

Just thought I'd chime in and say that this thread would have been better if you'd never posted in it. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself if you like the person you see.
