What are you working on right now? What goals do you have for yourself this year?
>go to library every day
>nice to be in public without interacting with people
>study for GMAT
>apply to jobs
>go home
I'm a 33 year old NEET (for 5 years). I just moved back in with my parents after being on my own for 8 years.
>get job
>get fit
>get new gf
>get new friends
I will do all of these this year
My parents are pressuring me to get a job or go to college so depending on how that goes my life will be ruined or made better
>>27198252
how were you able to be a neet without living with your parents?
>going to gym to stay fit, already at most of my goals
>staying consistent in school
>being happy
I missed all my classes today, but thats mostly because I spent all of last weekend working on my largest research essay ever, of 4000 words. Feels goodman. I didn't get caught up on sleep until today unfortunately. My grades are low 70s unfortunately, so I'm trying to bring those up. Being happy has been kind of working though.
Looking for a job, going to the gym and going to the library like >>27198252
said.
What I have done
>Accepted into teacher's college
>About to complete my undergrad
>Removed myself from relationships that aren't productive or conducive in ANY way
What must still be done
>Heal from lower back injury
>Continue getting in better shape
>Become eternally happy
>workout plan
>cooking and not just buying processed food
>already applied to and accepted at grad school
>small talk with strangers when not a shut in
I'm working on it, bots. I think we can make it.
>>27198268
>get new gf
>get new friends
>>27198313
Ey senpai, what was your GPA to get accepted into teachers college? I'm considering it but I'm not sure if my grades are good enough
>>27198282
I worked an IT job for three years after graduating uni and saved all muh monies. That allowed be to be NEET for about 3 years. Then I started using my credit cards to finance being NEET and now I have $23K in credit card debt (though all at 0% APR).
>>27198348
That sounds horrible anon. Good luck, I really hope you can get yourself out of that rut.
>>27198336
I had 79.4 first year, 88.4 second year, and I'll finish with around 75 this year. Third year didn't count as I went on exchange.
They also look at what relevant work / internship / volunteer experience you have.
Go do work in a summer camp or something man. I'm in for Junior/Primary. Going to hopefully be a good male role model one day soon. Feels good man, you can do it.
>>27198252
>>go to library every day
what topics are you interested in?
>>27198278
some people need to be pressured into improving themselves even the tiniest bit. i know i do. i think this will be good for you anon
Have any of you ever tried online dating apps? I downloaded Coffee Meets Bagel on Monday and have matches with 7 cuties (Asian and White) already. I'll never send them a message, though. I'm too nervous. I have terrible social anxiety and never talk to girls in the first place. At least I'm not as ugly as I had thought.
I want to fall in love, but that's unachievable.
>>27198372
my sister has been trying to get me to use that one in which women choose who to talk to. i'm worried about that.
>>27198372
Yeah I've been on tinder since October.
I've slept with 3 girls because of it. Its a giant waste of time, and I hate 98% of the people I've talked to/ met.
However the girl I'm seeing now is pretty cool. I hope she sticks around.
>>27198402
Bumble? Its alright.
>>27198368
I don't study topics at the library. It's at a christian college and the book selection sucks. I just go there and browse job sites and study the GMAT books I bring with me.
>started doing some online IT courses
>started doing yoga
>drinking less and eating less junk food
>reading more books
>>27198372
I've had luck on okcupid in the past. Had a lot of dates, had sex with a few girls, went out with one girl for about nine months but I got burned out on it. Just reinstalled tinder but I don't think I'll have much luck
>looking forward to be NEET again next month
>probably buy a used car on saturday so I'll finally have one again
>visit my favourite escort again
yeah, that's about it.
>>27198420
How would you rate your looks and personality? I'd really love to get laid, but I just have no experience at all.
>>27198402
I'm on that too. I've gotten 10 matches so far after swiping right on every girl. Some of them are cute.
I just don't see why should I even try to be improve myself. I'm just fed up with life, everything seems pointless. Why should I make efforts to pursue long-term "happiness"? I'm not even edgy, I genuinely can't feel. I'm an alcoholic and internet addict and nothing else satisfies me. It feels incredibly pointless and empty to even try simple things that would make me happy such as meditation.
>>27198437
What's GMAT?
>>27198482
Graduate Management Admissions Test
I took it in January for financial aid.
Maintain a 3.0 gpa or better
Make some friends
Get laid
So far it's not going well. Grades are shit this semester, but on the plus side I made a friend.
>>27198472
iktf. most days i feel like this, but some days i get bursts where i want to do something productive. usually i don't but it's nice to feel something every now and again.
is there anything you can think of that might make you happy? or at least feel something?
>>27198420
>>27198459
I don't take selfies. My fb is a mess. The whole idea of selling yourself leaves a bad taste in my mouth but I get that it's normal and acceptable and expected now. I'm not even NEET or out of shape, which are both reasons why she's pushing. I just have no idea how to proceed.
>>27198459
I don't want to sound narcissistic, but I had a major confidence boost in the last year for a number of reasons.
Its hard to rate a personality though. I think I'm a generally pretty cool guy. But sometimes I just cant relate to normies. Really hardcore normies, who don't anything beyond normal. If that makes sense. So in terms of personality I rate it pretty high when it comes to people I click with. I also think I'm fucking hilarious so theres that
Looks: 7.5
Personality: 8
I go through this self-improvement cycle a lot, I get myself to wake up early, go out, stop smoking, etc. and it works for a few days and I feel great... but then new things start poking holes in my confidence/happiness. Something something says, or something I read in a book or on the internet. It's like I'm constantly discovering new things that deflate my happiness. Why does this keep happening.
Here are my daily goals:
>shave
>shower
>dress self in decent clothes
>don't drink heavily
>take meds on time
>leave the house (I fail pretty much every day at this one)
>put in at least one job application
My long term goals:
>stop being a NEET (six years now)
>go back to school at the local community college eventually
>make parents proud
>learn an instrument
>get a decent job (not a wagecuck position)
>start reading real books again instead of manga on my phone
>expand musical tastes beyond metal
>stop browsing sites that reinforce my shitty views
It goes without saying that I fail at most if not all of these on a daily basis.
How to get qt gf?
I'd like to do that, but I haven't a clue how, or where to begin.
girlfriend. and get in even better shape than last year. I really like a girl but she has a bf and I'm too nervous to say shit to her. Whatever. I'll figure it out.
>>27198209
I work out everyday to prepare for the coming apocalypse and I'm gonna start taking college classes soon.
>>27198514
Only traveling comes to mind, but I would still hate it if no alcohol was involved. At the same time I feel guilty and useless while drinking because I can't stop, so it would render the traveling experience joyless. I can't stop drinking, I don't even want to because otherwise I'd be 100% miserable as opposed to 70-80%. So I don't know what else to do.
>>27198617
Senpai, there is no upcoming apocalypse
>>27198209
>Just got approved for a new apartment this morning, close to a big city
>Going to make an effort to get out and meet people in the new area
>Currently working on losing weight and getting better cardio for the summer
>Form a band
>>27198608
Girls typically want muscular and outgoing guys. Join the gym.
>>27198568
my thoughts exactly. I hate it how people make brands out of themselves nowadays
I'm going to try to get my drivers license and start a garden this year.
>What are you working on right now?
Finishing this gooddamn piece:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nSuVWxF4KS
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0rfnb9ck35Q
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1RRWL6XGt9d
The three parts are supposed to be connected somehow but I can't figure out nice transitions and my computer can't handle all the tracks and lags like crazy every time I play a note and I think this might be a little too ambitious and overwrought
Fuck I need to finish it
>>27198657
being fit and being muscular are very different
girls like guys who are in good shape. so if your chest has a v-shape, if your stomach doesn't hang out, and you're not a skeleton.
obviously it has to be proportionate but the idea that all girls want body-builders is wrong
>>27198676
>>27198568
Its always been like that. You're selling yourself every day when you leave your house. Its just that its done in a singular profile now. Its not that different if you think about it. Putting yourself out there is hard, but its better than doing nothing and living in regret.
>>27198608
Some things you can do are
>start washing daily if you don't
>get a decent haircut
>if you don't want to go to a gym then start walking daily if you can (surprisingly is really effective and makes you feel good)
>join a club of some kind so you are leaving the house regularly and meeting up with people casually (not just at school or work)
>put yourself out there in a way that means you'll be more likely to meet women, like walk your dog in a park if you have one and strike up conversation with women with their dog
>try not to be as inhibited, people aren't constantly judging you harshly, and even if they were who cares
Also really it just depends on your definition of qt. It wouldn't be so hard to get a sweet average/slightly below average looking girlfriend, but if looks are super important to you then it's going to be harder because obviously getting a 9/10 gf will be tricky.
I want to spend less time on PC and internet, didn't do well today. :(
>on low carb, high fat diet for a little over a month
>11 months today quit smoking cigs
>overcame a drinking problem
i want to be less crazy, that's all. i just want to be sane and stable and it doesn't seem like any amount of self improvement is going to get me there.
>>27198720
Any advice on pics, selfies, or what not to put out there digitally?
I am a lot better at this in person, ironically, but that's also because of a drinking habit that's on my 'to fix' list. It also feels less forced/less anxiety inducing because you have one shot irl and then it's gone. You can spend forever editing a profile.
>>27198676
I know that feel well.
>>27198209
Finally accepted I'm a loser who will never change. I'm finally ready to leave this world. Gonna go shooting with my dad in a month or 2. Good news is that the area we shoot at is 10 minutes away from the local hospital, the local hospital is in a town of 2500, and the only real hospitals that could do anything are like an hour and a half away! Odds are in my favor, anons.
Wish me luck when the day comes. I'll make sure to wish you all goodbye.
>>27198209
I'm just wasting time til I get my degree. There's nothing that's even remotely challenging yet, so I just laze about and get average - above average grades on everything without even trying.Hearing about how my classmates need to spend multiple hours each day and also juggle a job makes me feel kinda guilty for just how easy I've got it.
I'm really fucking grateful for my innate talent, but at the same time I'm kinda annoyed that everyone has such high expectations of me as a result of said talent.
>>27198514
Adderall, vyvanse, etc...
>>27198801
Pictures of you with friends, pictures of you doing your hobby (I play bass), maybe one selfie. If you're fit, put a shirtless pic. It will attract the shallow ones
For bios, just put a funny sentence and some things you like.
Acceptable hobbies include music, nature, fitness. You can still like video games and anime, but never flaunt these hobbies. Just be super lowkey about it
Body and mind.
What else is there?right, situation.
>>27198209
I'm working to pay off my student loans so I can kill myself without leaving my mom with a bill.
>>27198863
What are you studying? bloxblox
>>27198209
Currently I am:
>looking for a job
>eating healthier
>trying to suppress the need of getting a gf
goals:
>finish writing my book
>save money for a postgraduate degree next year
>>27198209
>pretty much quit smoking
>down to drinking maximum of two beers a day, from having a six pack or two every night
>sleep schedule is almost completely fixed
>working a steady job that isn't terrible
>seeing a psychologist that specializes in my issues, actually getting really good help
>reduced my meds down to four, and reduced all of their doses
Still want to:
>be more physically active
>practice my violin more
>keep the house cleaner
>cook more often
>drive more often
>get my teeth fixed completely
>get my sleep apnea looked at
I don't even see me going back to school on the radar for this year, but I feel like I have enough on my plate that I shouldn't be worried about it.
>>27198881
I knew ironic Trump posting and oblique anime refs wouldn't cut it.
>>27198922
I'm studying International Business Communication, specializing in English and Spanish. (Both of which are foreign languages to me)
>quit drinking
>go from jogging 8 miles to 12
>finish culinary school
>not be as pessimistic
Get fit
Get sum hobbies
Travel to see gf
Probably find a new job
Maybe go back to school
Get some new friends if I feel like it
Lose virginity
Buy a buncha cute clothes
Get a gud haircut
Try some new drugs if I can find em
Try to be happy
Try to stop hating people, the government, the world
Try to not be bored
Try to start practicing making music
>>27198995
>business
>communication
>2 of the most worthless degrees
>lumped into one awful degree
Holy shit
>>27199011
>Try to stop hating people, the government, the world
how do we do this?
>>27199030
It was the easiest way for me to continue studying English and Spanish, which is all I really care about. I plan on working with translation or localization.
It's also the most popular degree to get over here, by far.
>>27199011
>the government
Oh, this one's easy. If you hate your government you can always move here, to Eastern Europe. We have best governments out there,you douchebag
>>27198209
I want to be a female body builder but I don't know where to start. I'm not chubby or fat, but what workouts do I do? What do I eat? My meal consists of:
Breakfast
>Apple cinnamon oatmeal 110 calories
>1 hard boiled egg
>banana
>protein shake 150 calories
Lunch
>3 slices of chicken cold cuts
>bbq sauce
>whole grain bread
Home made dinner
Then dinner and for night before bed:
>lowfat hot cocoa 90 calories
My job consists of standing up at all day with a few feet to pace around. I'm 5'1 and 114lbs so I'm limited and work out machines don't work on me because I'm too short
Recently got hired at a movie theatre. Not a very good job for a robot but I'm still somewhat optimistic
Im loosing weight, ive dropped 2st already (i dont know lbs sorry)
Its sad because i didnt realise i was getting fat, no one told me, i used to get bullied about being fat in high school which led to me becoming underweight, but after living the comfy skinny life for so long i guess i got lazy
>>27199055
So what do you learn in [language] at University. Highschool was just very basic shit all along. I don't see what the continuation is unless it's linguistics. But that's obviously not it since it's largely separate from specific languages.
>>27199055
What country do you live in? Here in America the upcoming generations generally speak both English and Spanish, due to the influx of mexican immigrants.
>>27198209
To stop talking about wanting to kill myself and to actually fucking do it.
>get gf
>do more drugs
>>27199052
So far the only advice I've gotten is to just not care
>>27198809
Your gonna shoot yourself in front of your dad? holy shit anon
>>27198209
improving my heart fitness so that i can take more drugs without getting irregular heartbeat so intensely.
nigga I'm on a pillll
>>27199111
Ask fit.
>low fat cocoa
Probably bad.
I'd read the sticky briefly before asking though.
>>27198881
on a less ironic note, how many pics is acceptable? what if all those pics are hilarious or clearly staged, especially of your hobby-i'm not going to play violin out in public, and camping photos are typically unflattering and under the influence.
i'm really not this retarded i'm just talking through my anxieties. it just weirds me out.
>>27199123
I'm only just wrapping up my first year here, so I'm probably not the best person to ask, but so far...
>English
Advanced grammar, advanced translation, being able to understand what's most important in a text (IE: make resumes), and finding, correcting, and explaining flaws in a text.
>Spanish
Advanced grammar, advanced pronunciation, bigger vocabulary.
It's just been High School 2.0.
>>27199111
Don't ask /fit/ they're retarded. Go to bodybuilding.com. It has diet plans/fitness plans and forums. Literally THE best resource for fitness that I have found.
>>27199111
need more oats
need more peanut butter
need more nuts
if you want to gain weight and muscle you will have to eat 2manycalories5u and it might become unflattering at first
/fit/ will know more
>>27199127
I live in Denmark.
It's literally living life on Easy Mode. You're given such a huge leg up, it's crazy.
>You get paid to study.
>>27199227
Yeah that sounds really nice. I'd like to move out there to pursue uni once I'm more established in my field. I work on CnC machines and already get work (rarely) in the EU. So eventually moving there and branching out the company I work for out there isn't so farfetched.
>>27198496
Hey, I have the same goals, except I made some friends and now I don't want them anymore
>>27199258
Sounds like a plan, Anon.
I'm not particularly fond of this country because of how small and boring it is, but if I ever wanted to raise a family, this would definitely be the place for it.
It's just so safe. It's a great place to start in life.
>Finally get my CS degree
still need to pass 7 classes
>Start therapy
already taking meds but no shrink
>Learn japanese just because
classes started last week
>Go to gym
scary environment for me, not sure how long it will take for this one
>Lose fear of driving
have had the license for two years now, took the car out maybe 5 times.
>>27199357
Forgot one
>Kiss a girl
Had a date in January but didn't have the courage
I'm hoping i can work on the driving, gym and dating with therapy
1. Grades
2. Social skills- good mood + 3 beers and it's ok for a night
3. Getting some pussy - 404
4. Save some money when I can
The pussy part is going slow , tried to approach girls I wasn't attracted to and it was bad... the girls that I'm attracted to all have bfs or fuck buddies. Also wtf nowadays 20 yo bitches go often for 29-30 yo mates? Like wtf
>>27198586
>I don't want to sound narcissistic, but I'm gonna do it anyways
Fuck off you piece of shit
Losing weight, lost 25 kg going for 25 more. Trying to finish western canon, learning about astrophysics, got a job and saving up to continue college.

What do normies do with their friends? I want to make friends but I wouldn't know what to do
trying to get off adderall
I have to pump up all stimulation to max to function like a normal human being
blasting metal, drinking several cups of coffee, sometimes even need extra visual stimulation to even concentrate on anything
>>27199055
Just beacuse it's the most popular degree doesn't mean it's useful. Most people graduate and become mickey d's wagecucks
>>27199916
Like I said, I'm from Denmark. No matter how badly I fuck up, I'm basically guaranteed to live a comfortable life.
>>27199877
Anything. basically what you normally do alone but while enjoying others' company
I just need a second job, really.
Current job is giving me less than 10 hours a week, and I just need something easy and part-time to pay the rent.
God help me.

Gun safe is normally locked. He carries a pistol on him for self-defense. If possible, I'll take that and go fuck off somewhere after he puts it down. Otherwise, yeah. Don't really have much of an option and I wanna make sure to do something that'll guarantee a low chance of survival
>gym 3 times a week

I watched a lot of PBS space time and really liked it. I want to understand their arguments at a deeper level and do some of the derivations myself.
To this end I am taking 3 MIT OCW classes, watching the lectures, taking notes and doing the assignments.
It's fun, gives me something else to do besides more work and I feel like I'm using my internet connection for something productive instead of retarded.
>>27198209
I am attempting to be less of a dick to people. This is extremely hard to do in today's world I feel. I also attempt to do this on the internet as well. Usually I straight up call someone a faggot if they don't agree with me but now I tend to use more polite words. Though I still call people faggots I feel it's ok if they know you are not serious.
