What have you done today to become a better human being?

Have you meditated?

Have you lifted?

Have you read a book?

Have you looked another human being in the eyes and smiled?
>>
Took a shower
Turned down a job
Now I'm gonna play New Vegas

Pretty successful day
>>
Meditation, practised by western weaboos, is just mental masturbation.
I have lifted.
Didn't read.
Yes and faked the smile.
>>
>>28193805
I went to the hospital to check why my chest is aching, and i am glad i did
>>
>>28193817
How has showering or turning down a job improved your life? And what do you expect to gain from playing video games?
From what I can see you have done nothing. Do a single push-up and you will have done something productive, if ever so slightly, or live with the knowledge that you have wasted a day of your life doing nothing.
>>
>>28193805
whats the fucking point of trying to improve yourself

i still got a small dick so no one fucking cares
>>
>>28194015
Exactly, you're the only one who cares about dick size and you let it hold you back.

>>28193805
Today I taught my students, got a haircut, will apply to some jobs, currently reading three books, not working out though because my knee is shot, and I come here to try and help others as well.
>>
Self improvement is a meme, all it really is is undoing the damages of civilization. You don't have to "self improve" in the wild, cause your day-to-day life puts you in peak shape physically and mentally
>>
>>28194774
And who teaches you to survive and think in the wild. Other people. Socialization.

And to think that living off the land is our highest peak is problematic. How about knowledge? Space exploration? Wiadom? Compassion?

Sure you can be mentally and physically fit, but not necessarily reach your potential.
>>
I just got up nigga so chill out.
>>
>>28193805
>have you meditated
How do I meditate?

Fucked up an exam. Original fag.

>>
>>28193805

Walked away from my job.
I was literally, basically and fundamentally the guy who replaced everybody; Even my days off weren't safe.

Now i'm going to college, again. I just want to learn, while i work something else for my sustain while i'm there.

Fucking lmao.

Chad wakes up at 2 in the afternoon, checks his phone and sees 5 new Snapchat notifications. All of them are nudes from different girls. Did "lifting" earn him that? Did those girls choose him because they liked his "increased confidence" which he got from NOT MASTURBATING?

FUCK NO. Chad doesn't even THINK about that "self improvement" bullshit, yet women WORSHIP him. Why? ALPHA GENETICS. That's literally IT. Nothing else, no "confidence", no "correct body language", fucking GENETICS. He was BORN to be SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE.
So no, you can't "improve yourself" enough to "become chad", because you CAN'T IMPROVE GENETICS.

Nigger, I'm just trying to fill all the time I have.
>>
>>28193805
I showered.
I lifted in my garage for a bit.
Decided to put a net up and hit some baseballs like the good ol days before I hated myself.

Pretty decent day I'd say.
>>
>>28193805
I lift every single day, except for saturdays and sundays, I have been doing it for about 7-8months straight, I have made immense progress
>>
>have day off
>can either do college work, work out, help mams bf put up a fence, do an extra shift at work
>do none of these things and break nofap
>feel like shit
>>
>>28195508
oh yeah, haven't fapped for days either, tryna last at least a week and a half
>>
>>28193805
I've worked a little on uni stuff (linguistics project about the lexical density and phraseology of fighting games tutorials)
Worked on music
But mostly I've procrastinated way too much
Also, how is human interaction productive in any way?
>>
>>28193907
Thx for the motivation but he was obviously joking you uptight dicktree
>>
>>28195001
You sit and start paying attention to something (the feeling of your breathing in your abdomen, or a chant like ohmm, or a candle light) and focus only on this. When thoughts arise bring your attention back to the thing you're concentrating on.

It will be hard, and many thoughts will come, and your mind will wander but try always to remind yourself to bring our attention back to that thing. Over time you will have longer and longer stretches of meditation.

Easy to understand, hard to master.
>>
Doing my healthy cooking for the week
Read part of a good book on British Imperial History
>>
>>28195429
Shut up and stop denying that you have the capacity to improve yourself. Are you so inherently lazy that you just knock yourself down before you even try?
You've never lifted for more than a month at a time. You've never really improved your eating habits. You've never left your comfort zone; you're stuck in a cycle of low self-confidence, low social skills, depression, and blame.
>>
>>28193805
what the fuck do meditating or smiling at randos have to do with self improvement.
>>
>>28194703
yeah man girls are totally gonna be like "well he is still attractive since he is so well read and fit! i totally wont cheat on him with chad"

theres no point to it
>>
at what age did you realize that self imprvement is a myth?
>>
>>28196290
I improved myself by losing a ton of weight and now girls actually like me :)
>>
>>28194910
>How about knowledge? Space exploration? Wiadom? Compassion?

Pointless shit
>>
>>28195429
This, lmaoing at "self improvement" nerds
>>
>>28193805
I have maintained my diet, and have not broken my calorie limit. As a fatass, this is difficult.
>>
>>28196281
What is your actual dick size because I swear robots have the most fucking autistic standards where if it's below 6'' you should kill yourself apparently even though the average is fucking 5.1''-5.3''.
>>
>>28196495
you think girls give a shit what the actual average is?

fucking please. average just means worthless garbage to women
>>
>>28193805
>What have you done today to become a better human being?
Nothing
>Have you meditated?
I wish I could
>Have you lifted?
I wish I could
>Have you read a book?
I wish I could
>Have you looked another human being in the eyes and smiled?
No
>>
>>28193907
>Do a single push-up
I've read that it's bad to train only certain muscles and neglect others
>>
>>28193805
I called a woman a whore. I am now a better person for being honest with her.
>>
I took a shower and washed my bed sheets and trousers. I feel like a new man.
>>
>>28196495
The actual average is more like 6-7 inches, but people can make a lot of money putting out fake studies to make insecure men feel better
>>
>>28196565
>>28196627
Porn ruined you guys :( That and autism.
>>
>>28193805
Done all those things today and do them all just about everyday and am still a piece of shit. What now wise op?
>>
>>28193805
Fuck you, I don't have to justify my existence
>>
>>28196565
Yet the vast majority of men, most of which presumably have pretty unremarkable dick sizes, manage to lose their virginity without using prostitution or rape and get gfs.
But not you, apparently an average dick is an insurmountable obstacle for you and only you and there couldn't possibly be some other factor at work here stopping you from getting girls.

>>28196627
Do you have a source beyond anecdotes?
>>
>>28196679
the vast majority of men get treated like fucking shit by women too.

if you arent the top 10% of dudes just dont even bother

>What have you done today to become a better human being?
I tried being sociable and nice to people. It didn't work, that's why I am still here
>Have you meditated?
Meditating is for faggots
>Have you lifted?
I'm a hungry skelly. I lifted for the first time Monday afternoon. Squatted 155 and benched 140 today
>Have you read a book?
I read 4chan everyday
>Have you looked another human being in the eyes and smiled?
I did at the store yesterday... They looked at me in disgust.
>>
Ran
Worked a little
I might have a date tonight if that counts
>>
should I feel bad for not being the best, most ripped, disciplined alpha version of myself?

honestly, I don't, but I can't help but think I should.

I hate the mentality that guys should just become this perfect super human specimen and that if they don't they are a waste of a human being

it's ridiculous, the competitiveness among humans is so bizarre, and if you chose not to value that competitiveness and take it seriously, you're a loser who deserves to be unhappy and unfulfilled.
>>
>>28193805
I'm fucking 26 years old and a virgin. I havent tried to anything in about a decade.

Self improvement is just delusional at this point.
>>
>>28197226
Youre me except i still believe in life.
>>
>>28197333
Well that's good for you. Hope you make something of yourself.

I won't.
>>
>>28193805
Yeah I've been working at it pretty hard since November 2014. Most of it has been hell, but I've lived a fuller life because of it
>>
>>28197666
what did you work on
>>
>>28193805
I taught an intro liberal arts class, I'm currently reading 9 books, later I'll be donating some time to my local orphanage for blind lesbian trades unionists, and when I get home I plan to teach a group of 23 rescued stray cats to deliver my home-made gluten free organic candy care packages to random homeless people.
>>
>>28197701
Everything. Emotionally I'm in a worse place than when I started out, but its fine. Still moving forward
>>
>>28194015
So you think that the only reason you should improve yourself is for sex? What about your physical/mental health, your intelligence, that kind of thing?
>>
>>28193805
Meditated yes. Lifted, no, but I did some body weight exercises yesterday, and I stretched this morning. I read over one of Seneca's Epistles, 6 or 7 i think, the one where he said there is no good thing worth having if you don't have someone to share it with, and my heart sank a bit.
>>
>>28197972
i couldnt care less about myself.
>>
I went to class, and did well on a Spanish oral exam. I'll go study for my orgo lab practical tomorrow.
>>
>>28193805
I'm NEET, I woke up at 3:00pm gents my day just started I emptied 1 piss bottle out so I can use it tonight while gaming
>>
I practiced music and went for a long walk. Aside from that i did nothing of note but im probably about to read some Kierkegaard, that or some silly comics. Maybe more guitar later then copious amounts of alcohol. The usual.
>>
>>28196324
They like the image of you. Can you honestly say they like the soul that lies deep within though?
>>
>>28198143
If you could perceive the real nature of another person, you would be disgusted, no matter whether they're Adolf Hitler or Mother Teresa.
>>
>>28193805
I opened the PDF of a book I've been meaning to read. I didn't read it yet, but it's open.
>>
>>28196362
The only reason you think that is because you don't understand what meaningful is. That's why inseyad you just come and shitposting on 4chan. Try learning instead, ask questions, etc. instead of dismissing what I said.

Or don't, it's your life isn't it, you wanna wallow in misery knock yourself out.

>>28196565
Most don't care actually.

>>28196627
False, it's a little over 5 inches Erect.

>>28198051
We got a winner.
>>
>>28193805

Weirdly I did everything from the list. Still coming here don't know why.
