Congratulations /r9k/, you have achieved the first level of enlightenment through your ability of introspection. most people never achieve this much, so you should feel some pride in making it this far. But don't wait too long before moving to the second stage of enlightenment, self improvement, or you may get stuck here and never managed to achieve self fulfillment and then true enlightenment!

Thanks fagget will do

w-what are the other stages?
Most people just skip over the first level and make it straight to the second naturally, don't they?

No, they go through self acceptance where they accept everything about themselves and never wish to change or introspect to the point of denial, distraction or external fulfillment where they fill their lives with pointless shit like tv shows and comic books to distract them from the emptiness inside. they will never achieve true satisfaction or enlightenment, just denial and filling the emptiness with mass media or religion.

introspection doesn't always lead to depression, but a lot of the time it does. you hate yourself? good, now you can become somebody better. join the gym, do a course, find a new passion.

if you haven't been conscientious about your mental and physical health from an early age, you're basically average and will never develop the proper cognitive schema for continuous improvement
it's just a fact

Denial, denying that you can ever improve.

not me; i'm superior. just letting the robots who take this satire board seriously know that they're probably too stupid to improve

The problem with me is that I tree to be someone better and then eventually fail and feel even shittier after.

Trees can be hard to climb
are you still in the same environment around the same people?
it's hard to fly like an eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys

turkey detected
people in the denial-distraction stages tend to try and push people down to feel better about their own lack of progress on the tree of enlightenment
