What motivated you to actually make a change? How did you do it?
>Spent years locked in my room jerking off, studying, watching anime and smoking weed
>Missed out on the social aspects of school, didn't care at the time
>Go to college, decide to actually start taking shit a bit more seriously
>Eat less shitty food, spend a little more time in the library
>Land a badass paid internship
>Now I'm getting money doing shit I'm good at for 7 hours a day while everyone else I know is slaving away on their dissertation and stressing on finding a job with their empty CVs
>Get to go home and play vidya on a tv and console I earned myself doing a job I enjoy
Baby steps, senpai, baby steps
Every time I post a thread like this no one responds op, I'm rely bait for you mate. I've done good in all areas of my life except socially. I just find it too distracting but I gotta learn to balance things out
>lose 60 lbs
>gain 30 back
FUCK
I want to be thin again. I know how, I did it before. It just feels like there's nothing in my life but food, probably because there's nothing in my life but food.

I'm at a point now where I can handle normies in small doses. I'll have a short lunch with the other people I work with maybe once or twice a week just so I can say that I accepted their invitation. I turn up late, ask how it's going, then leave early. Don't stay long enough to get sick of them or long enough for them to catch on to your quirks, but stay long enough to not seem like a complete autist.

>What motivated you to actually make a change?
when the girl I asked to prom explicitly told me that she would have said yes if I was more attractive
I lost 60lb, gained muscle mass, got a hipster haircut, some better frames, much better fit clothing, cleaned up my skin over the course of 1.5 yearslooking better has also gave me a fucking complex and now I'm overly critical and analytical of every single move I make or thing I say, but that's okay because at least I look presentable

I didn't do it because nothing ever gave me any internal motivation. External motivation sure, I went to college, got a job, and so on since my parents pushed me hard to, but even doing well at those things didn't feel rewarding or make me want to do them myself on their own merits.
now 29 and a failure at life. I guess it'd be nice not to be, but not anywhere near nice enough for me to put in the many years of busting my ass that it'd take to turn it around.
