How can I be the "good guy" instead of the "bad guy" in my story?
I'm sick of being my own villain. I can't do anything good for myself. Where do I find the strength to be better?
Go out of your way to help people and expect nothing in return.

Like volunteering at a homeless shelter?
Grow up and realise life isn't a fucking video game.

Why do you think you're a villain?
>>27175745
I'm addicted to pornography. I've been trying to avoid it for a while now. No luck so far. I keep trying to remind myself that things are going to be different every day, but in the end I just end up fapping to porn three times per day and I'm progressively getting into weirder fetishes.
I feel disgusted with myself. I want to be someone that I can look up to. I want to be the example that can inspire other people to change. But I just don't have the strength to that yet.

No, like being friendly and offering favors to people in need. You can't just do some Good Thing like volunteering where you fuck about for a few weeks and think you've suddenly learned how to be compassionate. You have to continuously practice kindness, tolerance and understanding in order to make them habitual responses.

>But I just don't have the strength to that yet.
You haven't done it and built up the strength to deal with the consequences of your actions. It's fallacious to assume you'll "do it when you're ready" and everything will be okay. You do it now and fill the void with things that benefit you in the long run.

Feel no shame about shape
Weather changes their phrase
Even mother will show you another way
So put your glasses on
Nothing will be wrong
There's no blame, there's no fame
It's up to you
The first words should be finded
Whatever hold you back
I can, I can get it off
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late
Have no fear for real
It's just a turning wheel
Once you start up there's no other way
Don't put your eyes on boots
Step forward your roots
There's no aid, there's no trade
It belongs to you
Before you miss something given
You should know what's the truth
I can, I can make it out
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late
Before you miss something given
You should know what's the truth
I can, I can make it out
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want
I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid
Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you say
I don't know why, don't know why, too late, it's too late

Thanks. You've both motivated me. I'm going to do it. Starting today. It's time to seriously change my life around.
>>27175665
I use to wonder that a few years ago.
You're probably not even really that bad like other people are a lot worse even if you are far from perfect, it doesn't make you any better though.
stop beating yourself up over it

I'm goddamn happy to hear that. Dealing with pornography addiction myself, man. Small things I do are hide posts/threads with pornographic content so I won't be tempted to linger on it, playing games whenever I think about porn, and touching my dick as little as possible. Seriously, you'd be amazed how much it helps to stop doing something as simple as resting your hand on your crotch.
Recommend gradually cutting junk food/sugars out of your diet and starting small exercise routines like jogging or pushups. Best of luck, anon.

if you're Griffith, that's kinda rad, I mean you can do the fuck you want, but you're Griffith, a son of a bicth

Nice man. I've already been going to to the gym regularly for two years now. I have also since been making nearly all my meals at home. Taught myself to cook. The biggest thing that has been holding me back though is the pornography. I feel like once I'm past letting that stuff controlling my life, I can now fix my attention elsewhere. Perhaps I will learn to play an instrument now, lean a language, take art lessons again, or read more books.

There's always going to be someone worse than me. The problem with me is that I knew I was going down a dark road that would get progressively more fucked up the longer I stay on it.
I can't let that happen.
>>27175665
Why would you even want to be the good guy?
Just give in and embrace the dark side.
>>27176387
It's simple. Giving in to the dark side has consequences that will end up making my life harder in the long run.
Being the good guy is hard in the moment but has rewards that last forever.

That's just-world fallacy. Do you believe in karma too?inb4 fedora.
>>27176720
I do not believe in karma. Though, I have seen the world work in this way. In my case, especially.
