who else /cocoonmode/ here? I may not have the most glamorous lifestyle or be popular, but through studying and going to the gym I'll always have that feeling of progression. It's kind of like levelling up and getting gear in an mmo, but in real life and a lot more slow.

You have no idea how hard I know this feel
>>24499804
Cocoon mode is great if you actually improve yourself, but more often than not you just end up doing nothing
>>24499804
It depends on what you want . If you want gains and good grades then I guess that works .
If you want social skills eventually you'll have to break the cocoon . 100% looks won't cut it.
>>24499871
Depends on your personality type, for me I cook well, lift, learn and save money.
I also watch a shitton of anime and fap to waifu regurarry tho so pros and cons I guess.
>>24499804
Don't worry, OP. You'll break the cocoon at 35 and steal some normalfag's gf.
>pretending normalfags don't improve themselves
>pretending that NEETs do
Lol the lengths you people go to justify your sad existences to yourself is amazing. If you spent that effort you put into creating your fantasy world on any sort of hobby, you'd already improve your life 10 times over. But that's too haaaard. You might faaaail. Bawwww.

get a load of this buttgassed normalfag
>>24499912
fuck 4chan's bullshit mute system
as a recently successful cyborg, take my advice.
Girlfriends fix nothing. And ultimately unless you find an amazing one its just worse.
Don't do it

>studying and going to the gym
>not improve oneself
>>24500320
But that's exactly what a good number of normalfags do.
What, you think people can't maintain close personal relationships and improve themselves in some capacity at the same time?

My gf broke up with me 5 months ago after two years.
All i have done for the past 5 months is:
>Gym
>Work as much as possible
>Save all my money
>Fuck a few women from tinder
All i have really done is level up my fitness and my bank account, my soul and heart is still broken in two and don't see anyway of improving them.
>>24499804
I'm in cocoon mode but I'm also married.
I don't go outside, but I'm always working on self-improvement.
>>24499804
Once you go cocoon you will never get back NEVER. DON'T DO IT FAGGITS YOU WILL STOP GOING TO GYM AND SHIT AND END LIKE ME.
