Wait, why the fuck would you be here if you aren't a narcissist?
>>36079796

>>36079991
You are not a narc then sorry anon
>>36080011

>End up staring me down for 60 seconds, admiring my own face and body
I'm not even that good looking, I just love myself too much
who /driven by rage form being bullied whole life/ here
I pretend I don't judge others but in reality I'm judging everyone so fucking hard 24/7 in my mind and laugh at manlets, dicklets, and DYELs.
Kind of ironic since I'm kind of a DYEL myself.
Who driven by /willtoescapeskinnyfat/ here?
>>36080099
I feel you mayn
>>36080107
this.
i mean, i dont really pretend i dont, but i dont run around the gym screaming NICE FORM FAGGOT or LMAOPOINT5PLATE SQUAT in peoples faces.
Also i dont post "no one cares what you do at the gym" on here, cause they do and i do.
>tfw used to be narcissistic af but acne broke out and made me hate myself
i miss those days where your ego is even higher than usual and you just wanna punch someone
>>36080152
god this so much
i still love my body but when my acne breaks out i get filled with such fucking rage
why wont it fucking go away
>>36080152
>>36080162
This board is 18+
>>36081052
im 23
thats whats pissing me off so much
i was always told it would go away with age
and yes i wash my face and use skincare products
probably going to resort to accutane or something, but my pharmacist always tells me my case isnt nearly sever enough
(its only 1 or 2 pimples at a time, but thats still fucking disgusting to me)
>>36079941
me, fuck gyno, fuck itchy hip flexors. Atleast I have a video of myself squatting 4 plate, lost 15kg on my squat for reasons
>>36079796
Little bit of narcissism and a little bit of insecurity

>see a DYEL with more definition than me that actually sort of looks like he lifts (has muscle tone) but has fuck all strength
>I say this as a DYEL with piss all strength (100kg diddy, 55kg bench, 60kg squat)

>"oh good he's going to do his sets after his warmup"
>nope, he drops bar and starts doing diddy's
>he only cranks out 65kg diddy's
>legs straight, thighs move back slightly when picking up the bar though
>lifts with nothing but back
>no wonder he's fucking stuck on 65
>HE DOES THIS FOR 3 FUCKING SETS
>HE ACTUALLY DOES SETS OF DEADLIFTS
>mfw he has "Mass Nutrition" shirt on
I might be DYEL, and I may have only started 3 weeks ago, but even I know that the deadlift is a hip and leg workout and not a back workout. I also know you don't deadlift for 3 sets.
I actually sat there in my rest periods from doing my lmao1pl8 squats just watching his form and wondering if I should start up a website to take bets to see when he visits snap city.
>>36081136
>DYEL with more definition than me that actually sort of looks like he lifts
thats not what dyel means
>>36081136
Umm, ever hear of straight legged deadlift?
>>36081155
Sorry, skeltal then.
I say DYEL because as a chubby cunt that just started up SS for one month, I lift heavier weights than him, and I've seen him before a few months ago when I was scouting the gym out with a friend. He's got definition, and he looks like a normal human being (rip post break-up food consumption), but his form and strength are extremely subpar. I know, because my form used to be subpar, and my strength still is.
/drivenbyhate/ here. Sometimes I think I can feel the hate coming out of my skin in my sweat when I'm working out.
>>36080074
My gym has mirrors all around. Sometimes I spot a ripped guy walking around in the distance. Turns out it was me all along. Kek.
>all these youngfags
I'm 38 and I feel like I'm in my early twenties again. All my co-workers are tired/sick and I feel like a million bucks. Who /middleage/ here?

m-mirin..
>>36081284
Get outta here old guy
How bad is it really to work out because I'm embarrassed how out of shape and weak I am? Attracting girls is high up there too, specifically losing weight.
Are those the wrong reasons? What are the right ones if so?
>>36081302
>Get outta here old guy
I wonder what 4chan will be like 10 years from now when everyone's my age.
>>36080074
Literally me. I don't know how I get workouts done when I spend most of my time miring myself
>>36081310
You don't really even need reasons, because getting fit and in shape is objectively a good thing.
>>36081284
Hitting 40 in June here mate and I feel ya! Lots of long time buddies getting sick with diabeetus and I'm stuck at work and dying to get out to run a local 5k!
>>36081310
There is no right reason to lift. If you lift, take it seriously, and you will make gains and lose weight, provided you take your diet seriously as well.
Don't worry about your reasons, just do your routine.
>>36081302
Fuck off. Old guys need fitness more than 20 year olds. Otherwise they have strokes and shit.
Stay old guy. Tell us stories about Vietnam and shit.
>>36081290
How long you been at it?
>>36081398
>Tell us stories about Vietnam and shit.
I never saw anything like that, anon. The only action I ever saw during my time in the military is arresting drunk airmen off-base overseas.
>>36081455
Who? Me or the guy who called me edgy?
>>36081473
Ever frag one of 'em?
>>36081474
Sorry, meant to reply to
>>36081298
>>36081481
I wish. The closest I ever got to fragging one of them was when I became a supervisor and I had to manage their nonsense.
I had two guys who were literally JUST. They wouldn't listen no matter what I preached. Meanwhile, I had another two that were airman of the quarter material.
Tbh the main reason i lift is just to see if i could
i was always convinced the mind could have pretty much total control over the body (including emotions etc.) if you had enough willpower
so one day i decided to get ripped
and im getting there i think, 4 months in or so
>>36081503
Yeah definitely stick around. We need all the life experience and man advice we can get on this board.

narcissism is forms as a self defence against terminally low self esteem, it's literally a beta disorder. You know who else was a narcissist? Elliot Rodgers.

>1 or 2 at a time
God you're a whiny bitch
>>36083272
the fuck man?
1 or 2 pimples brings my aesthetics down by a whole point or more on the /10
if you're satisfied with anything less than perfection, why the fuck are you on /fit/
>>36081163
yeah, I did.. it's that exercise only morons do.
>>36082980
If that's how you interpret it, good for you. I'm sure /fit/ follows a different, Nietzsche-like philosophy.
>>36079796
>tfw see myself at the mirror
>a lil bit fat but still perfect
>handsome as fuck
Completely, after losing weight and then becoming better looking physically than 90% of the population within a few years really changed how I viewed people and the world, I can't just see someone fat and think oh maybe that would be a cool guy and he just eats a lot but now I see someone like that and I think wow what an unmotivated loser with no structure in his lif, I'm just a lot more judgemental but I'm a very positive person so I don't put other people down and seeing someone doing better than me is respect to them
