There's a similar thread already up, but fuck it.
I WANT TO CHANGE MY LIFE THREAD
Any advice from people who have changed their lives significantly, cyborgs who stared into the abyss and lived to tell the tale.
Any motivation and tips welcome
>>28490006
If you think of a diet change as radical then you're most likely gonna fail
Diet changes are most effective when they're subtle and incremental. cut out soda one week, then more clean meat the next.
Getting my teeth fixed starting tomorrow. Five dentist appointments. Improvement, but still ugly as fuck.
Any tips for whitening badly yellowed teeth or clearing up bacne+scars?
>>28490006
What are you specifically looking to change?
If you say everything, you'll achieve nothing.
What is the priority?
>>28490248
fair enough.
my goals are lose 120 lbs, start working on creative stuff again, and fix medical problems (shit teeth and etc)
>>28490204
that's awesome nig. a huge step forwards if your teeth are bad
>>28490226
bacne no, scars heal over time, and go to a dentist for those yellow chompers
>>28490226
Use an exfoliator for a few months to help with acne/scars.
>>28490006
I'm 48 years old and have severe clinical depression and social anxiety. But I've also run for public office, hosted two radio shows, am frequently in the media, and accomplished a lot of amazing stuff in my life. I can tell you exactly how to change your life, but you won't like it. I know, because I come here from time to time to try to give people the benefit of my experience -- and my mistakes -- and all it ever does is make people very angry.
>>28490456
>I can tell you exactly how to change your life,
Then fucking tell us nigga. Come on, don't leave us hanging. This thread is the right context for it unlike probably all the other times you said it on /r9k/
>>28490006
I actually judging myself, just like I judge other people. And I'll work on my defaults. It's gonna be hard for me, maybe I'll cry a little bit, because the reality hurts.
>>28490274
How much you weighing now?
To any bastards looking to start gitting gud in art. Don't dis it. I make pretty decent money while working at home. Plus, it's fun being able to draw your waifu
>>28490500
Fine. The way you change your life is by refusing to allow yourself to be limited. Do the impossible. Find the courage to do the things you want, even though people are mocking you for it and calling you names. Dare to reach for your genius.
Everyone has the capacity for genius. The reason it's so rare in the world is because so few people have the courage to pursue what appears to be madness. People will *always* mock you and hold you in contempt for being different. You need to have the strength to stop caring what people think of you and do it anyway.
Keep pushing yourself. Take on as much as you can handle, pushing yourself right to the edge -- and then take on a little more. By constantly challenging yourself, you grow your capacity. Each time, you emerge stronger and stronger.
If you are not the person you want to be, then there's a very simple way to fix that. Each time you need to make a decision, think about what the person you want to be would do, and do that. In time, you will *become* that person.
>>28490648
Sounds like standard "put effort to succeed" thing but I can appreciate it. It's a given afterall. I don't think anybody truly expects progress to be cheap and easy deep down
>>28490006
As well lads, motivational videos can do a world of good.
A lot of you will see them as useless, cringey shit but the biggest factor for success at anything is motivation.
I have real motivation for what I am trying to change at the moment but sometimes I use the videos as well to give me that little bit extra - to remind me why I wanted to change in the progress.
For those trying and thinking of quitting - You've gotta remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26U_seo0a1g - the vid I watch most.
Good luck guys - you can do anything you want, you just gotta want it bad enough.
>>28490735
*why I wanted to change in the first place.
>>28490735
It doesn't have to be a point of turning into some massive giga-nigga bodybuilder - set your own goals, work hard and you will make it.
>>28490625
>make pretty decent money while working at home
how? i tryed DA but i only got 5 bucks in 5 years (1 comission)
>>28490648
>You need to have the strength to stop caring what people think of you and do it anyway.
This.
Now I don't give a fuck about what people will say or do. They're gonna do it, but "I'm still going to wake up the next day, so everything is alright for me". This is what I say to myself now. And it feels good.
Also, some days ago a robot post this song, it's appropriate : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkZ_vKWF8e8
>>28490648
This is so true it's a borderline platitude. but it's undeniable
>>28490006
I've lost 40 pounds this year, looking to lose 10-15 more (currently 6' 185 lbs)
Also dealt with my suicidal depression with therapy and drugs, reluctantly. It's all about realizing that whatever point you're at in your life is fleeting and that it's better to just keep moving ahead daily instead of thinking about the big picture. Stoicism has improved my outlook on life too.
If you're a NEET or wagecuck chances are what you need is purpose. I can't help you with this one. I recently got back into music, which is my greatest talent. Find a way to make your Mark on the world and put iit above all desires, especially dating and relationships. Lacking purpose is the greatest detriment to men today, and this is especially true for robots.
Good luck OP. I love these threads because they're the only ones with actual substance.
>>28490788
Actually I got a gig a site that sells wallscrolls and dakis. Basically I make them art, they give me a cut of the profits. It's not glamorous or anything but I'm a very thrifty person and spend so little so I can live off of it. I stopped commissions because it's kinda inefficient. Also I draw porn, so that helps garner more attention too.
Here's my crap if you wanna see:
http://www.hentai-foundry.com/user/figgotry/profile
Also DA growth is ridiculously slow. I recommend tumblr if you want to be more known simply because reblogs bring lots of views to your stuff. It also can't hurt branching into other stuff like HF, instagram and twitter
>>28490888
nice progress anon
care to share more of your story?
>>28490006
So here's my plan.
>cut soda consumption
Already down to one 0.5L can per day, two on the weekends
>stop smoking
I want to quit in two weeks, on Monday. Dunno if I should get patches or just go cold turkey.
Smoke 20 to 25 a day, for the past ~10 years.
>start excercising and lose weight
Kinda contingent on stopping smoking, it's the what I want to continue with after I do.
>find a new apartment
Working on that now.
What follows then will be a result of how succesful I am with the above.
>>28491027
Cut cold turkey. It'll be rough, but not impossible
I've spent the last 2 years as a neet. but not just a regular neet, the type of neet that doesn't even have hobbies. i play a little bit of runescape and super smash bros, but that's literally all i do except smoke weed and browse 4chan.
im super fat, super depressed, socially inept, boring, tired, smelly...
basically the quintessential neet with shitty hygiene and no passion.
I want to do great things with my life, how do i start? What do i do?
>>28491027
>soda
Nigga, quit that shit immediately. Just drink water all day erryday
>smoking
I'd go patches route. Unless you have an iron will then go cold turkey
>>28490456
Ayy Andrew, lay it on us. I think I can take it.
>>28491063
>im super fat, super depressed, socially inept, boring, tired, smelly...
I would say piecemeal it out. Tackling all those things in one go would lead to burnout after a week. I'd say your most pressing matter is your depression since it directly affects your motivation to do anything much more. I recommend finding a hobby to put your passion in. Something that can allow you to make money on the side if need be because hey, another potential source of income is never bad. See. >>28490625. It's not a bad idea. Understand that it will take a long time. Don't expect great results tomorrow
Just start doing shit. When you get burned out and realize your putting too much effort into the wrong things figure out how to keep doing shit and focus in the right area, pretty much ALL of us are fucking chumps and don't even know it. So don't think you're going to win some statistical lottery and be a giant winner just because you decided it's time to stop losing.
For losing weight what worked for me is brush teeth after every meal and wait half an hour before eating or drinking anything. End up cutting out a lot of snacks because you already brush your teeth so fucking much.
>>28490941
how long it takes to get how much money, you disgusting horse fucker?
>>28491148
I like how that sounds, i have a hobby and interest in mind. i know what i wanna do, but i don't know how to force myself to start doing it.
It's not even about having the motivation to practice every day, it's about getting off my ass and even starting. any advice there?
>>28491027
>I want to quit in two weeks, on Monday. Dunno if I should get patches or just go cold turkey.
>Smoke 20 to 25 a day, for the past ~10 years.
chew the gum, it will help bc you get the nicotine and something to do, after long awhile you can switch from nicotine gum to just chewing gum
>>28491156
a dose of realism, i can respect that.
what does brushing your teeth do to stop snacking though? that i don't get
>>28491165
It varies. But I guess a rough estimate from when I started taking commissions, I got around 100$ on the first month. Might be more or less for you depending on your skill level and amount of followers, of course. Chump change, yes but gotta start somewhere. I don't intend this to be my career, just something that generates cash while I'm in the process of gitting gud. Drawing porn is also a good way to hone your anatomy while making some cash on the side. I also have a part time job so I can't say I rely on this completely. And yes, be a part of fandom if you can. It's a great way (and cheesy) way to get more views.
>>28491300
I'm kinda inclined to go that route, but I've read that using NRT is basically just prolonging the agony.
But I'm worried that if I just go all out I'm gonna explode at work.

Scroll way down and watch the videos under theory and mindset.
Self improvement is a meme. I've done it all. I got into the best shape of my life, I got tan, I got a meme haircut, I dress extremely well compared to my peers at uni, I made myself as attractive as possible, I try talking to everyone and smiling more, being more aggressive with girls.
and still nothing.
>>28491301
For me it's like I
>wake up brush my teeth.
>Fuck I'm hungry
>Just brushed my teeth, might as well wait to eat or figure out a solid meal than snacking on things that might not be healthy.
>Brush teeth if I eat, fuck it's been nearly 15 minutes since I ate I'm hungry again but I just brushed my teeth better wait
>get busy doing other things and forget about being hungry and burn calories doing stuff.
I'm not saying it works, it helped me cut down on consuming calories on top of doing calorie burning things.
>>28491391
That's because you sound like a vapid person.

do the following
http://www.inc.com/quora/the-1-habit-that-can-make-the-most-positive-impact-on-your-life.html
>>28491329
i know what you mean, i felt that way for a couple weeks when i stopped,like what am i going to do now sortof thing it wasnt just the cigarette but a routine too. just take it a step at a time and maybe only use cash that way everytime you spend money on something you know you want to stop buying using you can physically see the money leave your hands
>>28491362
I love these, watched the bunch and i might watch more.
they're applicable to my situation, but i don't want to be an artist in this sense. I'm not a drawing person, i'm more musically/cinematographic inclined
>>28491432
nice nice nice.
i can see how that would be helpful. it's all about distraction.
>>28491498
>>28491472
>>28491451
he doesn't deserve the attention brethren, let him be retarded by himself.
>>28491600
I'm pretty sure those vids apply to more than just art. Also if you're gonna start a following, I recommend using youtube, twitter and tumblr. Yes, tumblr. It's surprisingly efficient in propagating views.
>>28491587
Is exercising really that helpful? Aren't you tired for the rest of the day after? isn't that counter intuitive?
>>28491626
>nice nice nice.
>i can see how that would be helpful. it's all about distraction.
Pretty much. But it would help that I would just take what I thought was a reasonable amount to eat. Then always brush immediately afterward so someones like
>Oh desert time!
>Can't just brushed my teeth. Thanks but no thanks, maybe next time.
>>28491652
Not that guy but it's kinda like, your body is tired but your mind feels energized. If that makes sense
>>28491651
Yeah, for sure they apply to me, they apply to anyone doing anything creative.
yeah, youtube and tumblr are great for getting your name out there. twitter is the same thing, these sites are great for making a name for youself,they get your content on people's screens.
Don't worry I'm not gonna be a soundcloud artist. Because newsflash, the 5 views you're gonna get on each song isn't worth the time investment.
>>28491689
I understand that as a concept, but I've never felt that way after exercise. Whenever i exert myself and get home, i'm not more alert, im just lazier.
Does fasting and fat-burners actually work? Because diet doesn't
>>28491654
plus this helps with the problem i talked about above, which you may have seen, which is that my teeth are fucking terrible.
10/10 advice.
>>28491652
not at all your body get exhuasted but you are more "up for it"- it is a tremendous help, bc you can feel and eventually see the change. exercising also tells your body to produce good shit inside you naturally. and encourages you to feel better, its helped me quit drugs.
start small maybe put your t-shoes and clothes out at night so in the morning you see it and put them on and go for a long wlak every morning then you can later add stuff. the method i posted can be applied to anything. break things down into really small parts then do that one part for a while, and it seems like nothing and once it seems like "just something you do" you add another little part and after awhile you just obtained a new goal that previously seemed "like too much"
>>28491690
There's nothing stopping you from also uploading on soundcloud. In fact, I would recommend you also do so. Let's be honest, as a content provider, you want to whore yourself as much as possible to as many people as possible to maximize attention. It's only natural. You can also self publish a music album on itunes too. IIRC, itunes pays you pretty decently per unit sold. Keep that in mind in case you manage to compile enough music pieces to warrant an entire album. Of course, get a following first before all else.
>>28491719
diet does work if you have the dedication to stick to it.
>>28490006
who puts a highway sign facing the street? Nobody would be able to read it
>>28491765
that's true. never thought about that.
might as well put my shit in as many places as possible, no such thing as too much exposure.
but getting a following is priority #1.
>>28491775
This guy knows what's up.
>>28491751
I gotta try this shit for myself i guess. I've always assumed the exercise makes you happy thing was a meme. seems like something people say to kind of pat themselves on the back when they already do it.
>quit my horrible shit job last week
>quit smoking weed today
>applied for college last week, got an interview for it soon
>going to get a part time job once I know what times my classes are
>going to try really hard to be social in college
One last attempt at life lads, if this goes tits up I'm killing myself, fuck going back to wagecucking all day for fuck all pay.
>>28491775
I've been sticking to it, if the calories meme is true then I would've lost weight by now, I've lost none in 2 weeks even with running 2 miles every day. If you got a good diet I'll try eating that every day and see what happens
>>28491318
i don't suppose i will get as much money with non lewd traditional?
>>28490456
I'm 25 going to be 26 in 3 weeks and I feel like it's over for me. I don't know what to do but I've been pondering going back to community college for something. I just have no friends or anyone to talk to, and my parents are getting older. I have no work experience and finding a job is tough. I now have urges to change and they're stronger than ever. what to do?
>>28491831
>>applied for college last week, got an interview for it soon
What course? If you say something namby pamby like literature, I'll slap you silly because you would be doing yourself a disservice in getting into debt to get something that will not even give you better job prospects
>>28491719
"changing your diet" is sortof a recipe for disaster, bc it implies something you dont want to do which usually leads to crashing. a better idea might be to find a meal plan then buy the food and cook it all(different foods) and put the leftovers into tupperware for each meal/snacks, and eat nothing but that. you dont need to pay for this shit either there are a ton of free ones on youtube, and if you go to /fit/ someone can share their already fined tuned one with you so you can get started right away. i did this and it helped me save a lot of money bc coming home with fast food made me feel like a wasteful asshole since i had good food already laid out and ready just waiting to be heated up
>>28491828
>I gotta try this shit for myself i guess. I've always assumed the exercise makes you happy thing was a meme. seems like something people say to kind of pat themselves on the back when they already do it.
there are for sure people who just want the attention/need encouragement which turned me off at first, but the dr told me if i didnt change i would have to take insulin and eat diabetic food and shit like that and i noped hard. i just copied fit meal plans from youtube and made sure i ate only the foods i pre prepared and started walking everyday, then started jogging after 4 months, then i started doing p 90x videos that i watched on chink youtube and vimeo. the dr told me i still have high blood pressure but i am out of the super danger zone and now am just fat but not ILL
>>28491870
http://ultimatepaleoguide.com/caveman-diet/
just eat the shit in this guide. calculate your TDEE (just google it) and eat 500 less calories that that daily.
don't lie to yourself either, do it for real and you will see real results
>>28491736
>10/10 advice.
Well maybe 9/10 if your teeth are bad to start with; you know what they say about polishing a turd. It's still a turd. :P
I hate myself.
One of the reasons I hate myself is because I'm fat. It's not the sole reason, but it's one of the biggest ones.
But because I hate myself, I can't find the motivation to try and improve myself. So I keep getting fatter and hate myself even more.
What can I do?

>>28490006
The best advice I can give you or anyone is never be afraid to fail.
As long as you can learn from it, every rejection or failure is valuable. Just think like this. Predators dont always have successful hunts. Imagine of they did the robot thing and gave up. Not a good future. Everyone fails. What you do after failure is what really defines you.
I been in some awful situations before. I'm doing ok now. Just a few years back I was homeless, now I got. 3 bedroom house and all the responsibilities it comea with.
The right attitude is the most important part about this whole thing. Take Goku and Vegeta for instance. Vegeta wants to beat Goku, thats his dream. Thats what keeps him going. However if he ever does beat goku hes going to be happy and then hes going to be depressed because now he has nothing. His dream was based on beating someone and isn't sustainable.
Goku on the other hand doesn't give a shit about beating anybody. He just wants to be stronger than he was before. He is his own opponent and he will fight anyone stronger than him because he knows even though he will lose he will learn a thing or two and improve. For him opponents are markers on the meter stick but for vegeta they are mountains the stand on.
It sounds cringy but im a gamer. I love competing with people in that medium. I used to be like vegeta where if i won i was happy for a little bit and became arragant but if i lost i would beat myself over it for hours and if it was a team based game i would shift blame to other. Then one day i realized i was more frustrated than i was happy. I just focus on improving my mechanics in whatever game im playing even if i know the game itself is a lost cause. My goal is to win a street fighter tournament even if its just a small one but to get there im just going to focus on being better than i was yesterday rather than seeing how many wins i can rack that day or how much ranked points i can get.
Its a weird paradox where you need discipline and motivation but you also need an IDGAF attitude.
>>28491899
I would say if you're going non-lewd, you must have at least one of these
>good art skills
>something coherent to follow like a comic
>humor
>pandering to a social demographic
Lewd is pretty easy because the appeal is apparent. It's lewd.
If you do manage to get really good art skills, you can make a portfolio and apply to the many (and fiercely competitive) art industries like concept art which is my plan.
>>28491922
Mechanical engineering senpai
Really hope I get accepted, this more than anything will fix my life. I'm hoping I'll meet a gf there as well because I know literally zero females irl.
>>28491714
I exerciser at home. If i stay at home i get lazy. But if i leave for errand or to go to work i feel great. Its amazing going about the day knowing to accomplished something. The sore muscles start to feel nice because you know you did it that day.
I've moved out into my own place, started college and got a job. College is going well, but I'm really struggling with work. Also I miss home. I think about killing myself every day, despite the fact my life is technically improving, mental health gets worse.
Reminder that "self-imporvement" is snake oil.
Reminder that a tiny percentage of people who take the initiative to improve themselves actually succeed.
Reminder that these people were never really robots because they were blessed with good genetics and a supportive family/friends.
>>28491971
take it to its logical conclusion
>why am i actively doing things against myself despite the acknowledgment that i no longer want to do these harmful things?
you probably come up with some bullshit why you are still doing that and oh no im so used to it and i dont know much else but fuck that noise it doesnt make sense bc its not supposed to, you realized you want to be different so start acting like the person you want to be do these
>>28491930
>>28491587
and be honest with yourself dont sugar coat it but dont an hero either bc if you do that then you are a complete bitch bc you already know you want to change so you might as well try ya know? who knows how long you naturally have so why not go balls to wall?

I would say focus on college as your priorities first. I doubt you'd find much females there to begin with. You already know this basic stuff but just sayin.

I'm already eating WAY below tdee, but whatever I'll try the paleo thing
It's good to see a thread like this. I just got done with the most difficult semester of college I've been through with A's. Almost made me insane. I had to sacrifice Friday nights, all by one or two of my weekends, and a relationship, but it was worth it I think. My goal is to become a physician assistant. It's very important to have some sort of higher goal, I've found. I would never have come close to where I am today without that. Not particularly intelligent either. Just take pride in and find joy in sacrificing current pleasure (it's fleeting) to better yourself in the future.
Start wearing a belt.the ladies like belts. It makes you seem resectable and 'held together'.
I see a lot of good advice in this thread so I'll just offer my best advice that's helped me. I've slowly been improving socially and excelling academically.Even told a girl I liked her a couple of weeks ago for the first time in ~8 years
The potential pain of rejection is less than the pain of regretting things your whole life. You may know this deep down but haven't realized it because regret permeates your life.
Start a journal and write a bit on occasion. If you don't have of interest to write then you know you're not doing enough, especially if you only write once a week or so. This will also help you develop your writing skills and aid in introspection. You have to know your problems and their roots before you can approach them. I recently learned about the 80-20 rule and using it for problem-solving, and that's a good place to start.
Also, go for walks. Especially night-time walks if you're somewhere you don't have to worry about being mugged or something. It's low-impact exercise and gets you away from the computer and out of the house. When I'm walking, I can appreciate nature and also engage in the best self-reflection. Talking to yourself, either mentally or verbally if possible, can help guide and focus your thoughts. This can also develop social skills on a basic level.
Buy/download a text or audio book copy of "The Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. It's a good intro to Stoicism, which may be a helpful school of thought or not for you.
You can be a good man and be nice and well-liked, but no one really respects a man who is like a doormat. I've been walked all over before The honest truth is that a man who a woman can control doesn't benefit her, so she won't keep him around. Stick up for yourself, because usually no one else will do it for you.
There's probably more I could say, but post limit and those are the most important points. I hope a bit of this helps.

Get a grip lad, I'm sorry but you're being a bit pathetic.
At least we're trying, you know? I'd rather at least try to make myself better and have it turn out to be a complete waste of time than sit on my ass watching anime and browsing 4chan all day.
Fuck me, I'm trying to fix my life but my moms just such a bitch. I totally deserve it, I am a worthless twat, but her calling me a lazy cunt and telling me she's ashamed of me every fucking day doesn't exactly help.

Most of the time people aren't as one dimensional as we would like to think.
She could be resentful, but she also has been telling him this shit for a while and he's starting to change. She might be doing it because she thinks it's good for him. It's gotten him to at least start getting his shit together

- work on physical appearance, follow trends even if you despise them... eat well, get /fit/ etc.
- treat females with a vague disinterest. they often mistake arrogance for confidence so that works too. it's a cliche but many women do seem to want to be treated like less than a person
- conquering apathy and depression is nowhere near as simple but i'd say the first step is wanting to change (so you're already part way there) again massive cliche but yea

I want a gf.
I have 101 problems but a bitch aint one. I can solve each of those myself, and am making progress on each.
What I can't do by myself is get a gf. There's nothing I can do about that. No girl has ever liked me, and now that I'm old, I have no convenient way of meeting any anymore.

Where should I start with my back muscle? I don't have any, can't even come close to doing a pull up, can do plenty of chin-ups though with my biceps though
>>28492654
my thought exactly
>tfw no gf
hasn't hit me in a long time because of other things i need to fix
Anyone got any advice for developing a personality? I just want to be somewhat interesting
Give new boards, 4chan is shit

Did it, been thinking about calling the guys - its not a conspiracy meme then?
I'm looking for job at the moment because I don't want to completely waste 6 more months until university starts. I will probably end up as a kitchen porter
Anyone that has more problems than >tfwngf needs to drop that feel immediately. Work on yourself first. Why would you want a girl who likes a version of you that you yourself dont like? The more you like yourself the better of a chance at getting a gf you'll have. Maybe some casual sex or something but intentionally trying to get a gf at this stage will only lead to some kind of problem.

Your fapping addiction must be healed first, otherwise you'll never get anything done in life
so, I just found out that teeth aren't supposed to touch when the jaw is at rest.
I'm gonna try to fix my teeth clenching and face touching habits so that I'll hopefully have a slightly less protruding jaw and better skin.
How do I git gud at social media? I feel like I never know what to say.

What
What are you supposed to do? Keep it open at all times?

Can't change genetics friendo.
attractiveness can only be improved to a certain degree, if you're ugly like all of us here then you're still fucked either way.
>>28490006
shit takes time shit takes effort and don't expect things to change over night it could take months or years of hard work to achieve the things you want and you mite stumble and fall along the way but as long as you don't give up you will make it
look at me 33 years old this time last year I was scrubbing pots and pans and lickin plates clean in a shit hotel
now I drive a truck and earn twice the amount I was earning

>Its a weird paradox where you need discipline and motivation but you also need an IDGAF attitude
I believe this is what is referred to as focusing on the process, not the outcome.
Also, nice trips.

The thing that helped me the most, especially in conversation, is treating each interaction like it's improv and always
'say 'yes'' to each scenario. It has improved my life at least a little bit when it comes to conversation.
Even tho I called a gril an hour ago and got shot down at least I didnt sperg as hard as I usually do
thx4reading
>>28495253
yeah, like a 2-3mm space
if they touch, you're clenching your jaw which is bad.

>step one complete despair
life is hell, everything is impossible, i should die, die, die already
>step two i guess i will give it a try
life is pointless and im going to fail anyway, why am i doing it again?
>step 3 not that bad
hey this is actually not as hard as i thought, hey im getting better already
>step 4 fuck my shit up
its in fact extremely easy, wow im so go
od at this i dont need to put any effort at all, i dont know what i was so afraid of
>repeat every year
>>28490204
Fuck. I need to fix my teeth badly but im afraid of what they will think of me.
>>28497254
they're for sure gonna think you're a little fucked up.
My teeth are really bad too, and you have to admit this shit is rare. 9/10 people don't let their teeth get as bad as ours. They're probablygonna think you're stupid, or weird for letting it happen. that's not a reason to not do it though.
>>28490204
My goal by the end of this year, I need around 2000 pounds so I can securely pay for braces, hope that my teeth are not that fucked up to not be able to put them on.

I know but i still scarred shitless. I also had a very bad experience of dentist in the past, thats partly a reason why im postponing this forever. Good luck to you m8, ill try my best.
