I'm currently 19 years old and I have a serious problem with my cell phone and everything that comes with social media and video games. I feel an emptiness inside that I want to fill, but I've become so dependent on it that if I don't spend even a single day glued to a screen, I get desperate. This causes me to procrastinate a lot; it feels horrible to be constantly focused on this addiction. What would be the best way to solve this? Because I really want to become disciplined with what I set out to do and not leave it unfinished.

>What would be the best way to solve this?
I can give you a million routines and say "Break this up into 5 things, do this at 6:00 AM everyday, take a shit at 12:00 PM every Sunday" and other shit like that
But to be honest, after the 2nd week you'd give up and come back here asking for more help, and it'd be an endless cycle.

What you should know anon is that your body needs a stable routine, it relies on muscle memory.
If you stray from your pre-existing routine too hard and too fast, it'll snap back and make it even harder to leave.
So the thing you have to do is examine why you even need the phone.

Dopamine? Mindlessly just filling time? What is it that you want? Try and fill it with something else.
Again, don't try and replace every single time you want to use your phone with a different task, it'll become tiresome after a while.
Maybe every now and then, when you get the urge, take a walk instead of scrolling, or listen to some music.

Eventually it'll get easier as you fill in more urges to scroll with walks or tasks or even finally doing your homework.
Again, don't rely on what people say is a "Dopamine detox routine" or whatnot.

You need a "fix" of information, but your own source is this "junk food" type. You need a denser concentration and dosages of "information". Identify what information you are "missing". Find ways to fill that gap in the fastest, most efficient and comprehensive way possible. Do it.

Maybe you're ugly and unapproachable, ugly people need to try harder and take the first step. but since you're already in your 30s you also need money and your own place to even have a chance with 4 out of 10s single mothers. That's pretty much your dating pool now. Or just forget about relationships and go to Tailand for cheap whores
>>
>>34455552
Maybe you just don’t know if they’re attracted to you or not? Like often times girls are scared to look at guys they find attractive. Also girls are complimented a lot and can afford to just not pay attention to people around them, so if they don’t look at you it’s prob on them. I bet someone will like you anon

A long time ago I was a pretty asocial kid or whatever you call it friendless. Bullyng, and to this day my mother tells me that I give a mentally retarded that my good future is useless, and soon I will die.. Well at that time as a child I had a cat and I began to interact with him excitedly until I started to act as if he was talking to me and my voice transmitted what he said, I thought it was already something from childhood until it became strange to me that to this day I talk to my cats. Every time I play they talk to me they tell me that I am a fool and although I should be the one who remembers it is as if I had talked to them, every time a cat dies. Only 3 died from illness, something that I I left it broken, because the voices of the deceased cats no longer emitted in my speech, and then a cat came to save me from that same disease and we played and until now I talk and scream as if he had told me, I went to psychologists etc but my family said that it is no longer useful That psychologists are not psychiatrists and in the end I had a result that I refuse to believe, that I have paranoid schizophrenia. I don't feel so serious that that comes out in the results but it was still a while ago and a new psychiatrist appeared and I guess she didn't know much about me. I share this because no one understands me and I am annoying for just the 2 people I know
>>
Ah, I was writing while I was busy, but when it came to psychologists, my parents said that they are shit and they are useless, and not even psychiatrists, that is to say that my problems ended up being minimized to this day.
>>
>>34455930
>>34456024
I think Ideally it's best to see both when possible. The Psychiatrists will diagnose conditions and prescribe medication when needed, and the psychologist talks and helps you reflect about stuff.

Did you ever go to a psychiatrist, or just to a psychologist?

How do I do other things instead of browse the catalog every day and night? I said to myself "if I quit 4chan then I will be forced to do anything else that probably should be done anyway but is not since I'm still here. What is a good stopping point in someones life that is a good enough reason to quit going to this website?

Right now I am in the purge phase and it feels like that will end soon. How do I get rid of this fetish. Romantically I am still only attracted to girls but sexuality is mostly leaning gay. I don't want to continue with this because it is a huge waste of time to my life.
>>
just stop completely using porn and the like and when masturbating do so without imagining anything else,
your brain behaves like this because you've conditioned it to associate pleasure to sissy stuff, associate pleasure to other mundane things and it will solve
also watch this for a simple brief on how attention works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laeYq51SYA0

The only utility of sex is to, either make babies, pacify someone else, or pleasure yourself. You are mourning either your inability to make babies, your inability to appease someone else, or your inability to "experience" some sort of "alleged" pleasure that everyone else seems to have "access" to

Now, most people don't really care about making babies these days, it seems

Consider that the person you're trying to appease maybe isn't worth appeasing whatsover

And thirdly, the pleasure you're missing out on is so overblown and misrepresented it may as well not even be a thing

I'm a 24yo male virgin, which, now that I am typing it out is only really starting to hit me. I usually don't get self-conscious over stuff like that and laugh when I see younger guys complain about being old. But now I'm having some burst of anxiety that I am in fact old. Like, too old to be using 4chan-kind of old.

Up until now I have always felt that, if I really wanted to, I could approach any women who were attractive to me. Now, going the same university where I have been ignoring freshmen for 5 years,
I can suddenly feel time breathing in my neck, like I am about to miss a train even bigger than teenage love. To put it bluntly I'm scared to miss out on the opportunity to have sex with young women. I guess that kind of makes me a creep but it's really the reason why I'm making this post.

I mean aside from the fact that I needed to get that off my chest I am also wondering where to go from here. Of course I could go on WikiHow and look up how to get a girlfriend. But I'm wondering about some more fundamental questions. I never really wanted to commit to a relationship, but at the same time I want to work towards having a family sooner or later. And like usual, time is ticking and I'm not really prioritizing women in my day to day life. Should I just try to hook up with as many girls as I can? If yes any advice on how to do that?

Start by trying something. Anything. Getting a relationship is a lot of work if you're not a 10/10 Chad. You need to try and fail a lot to learn how to talk to women. Right now, you have zero experience so you need to start talking to any cute girl you find. Have small objectives, have them add you on social media, get their numbers, etc. Then you can set bigger objectives, set up the first date, the second one, etc. You need to go gradually and expect to fail at every step. I found my perfect GF at 31 so it's never too late. Good luck anon.

I don't know what's wrong with me. For the record I have autism and ocd and historyof intrusive thoughts. I found a site with cp,reported it 100 times,kept going back to report over and over again. I know I need to stop for my wellbeing and try forget about it, I feel like ruined life.

I understand feeling shocked about it, but you're not to blame in any way man, you actually did good in reporting it, so don't beat yourself over it too much.

You did your part, now just stay away from it. Again, you did nothing wrong, and you're safe.

This sounds like hell on earth. I'm guessing you don't live in a high-HDI nation. Because those people would get arrested in a white country.

I had this problem multiple times when I lived abroad. Maybe it will be different for you, but for me it was never worth talking. The kind of person who behaves like this is seldom the kind of person you can reason with.

I'm guessing you've already tried earplugs and all that. You have 3 options:

1. Legal. Get the police or HOA/administration involved. They won't give a shit unless you file WRITTEN complaints over and over again, and show up at the police station or admin building enough times that they recognise you. If you call the police, make sure the cop file a report how he was inside your house before confronting the neighbours and how it was extremely loud. It will consume your life and not be worth it. I only did this with a legitimately crazy neighbour and he got involuntarily committed to a psych ward. But never again.

2. Revenge. Jeet shaker, hardbass, poop on porch, whatever. Pointless. It may work, but it will consume your life and not be worth it.

3. Just move. Pay until the end of the lease even if you don't live there. It's not worth it.

She’s probably sick, OP. Get out of your head.

Could be sick, could be checking out. Either is possible and you won't know until you know. In the meantime, give her the benefit of the doubt and wish her a quick recovery. Maybe offer to bring some cold medicine or something, unless she's far enough away that it would be weird.

Always give the benefit of the doubt once. But enact a three strike rule. First time is ok, she is probably telling truth. Second time she bails, she's either being untruthful or she got a bad coincidence happening. Third time? Block her.
>>
>"i hope you feel better soon!"
>hit me up when you wanna hang out again
And go radio silent. Get another date in the meantime.
If she contacts you, you ask when she is free to meet up and set up another date.
Do not text her needlessly.

Who cares about living a long life when you have shit mental genetics that prevent you from socializing or doing anything productive anyways? A neurotypical will get more done in a month than an autist or a schizo will get done in a year while also being able to socialize and enjoy the company of others. Is fapping to MLP porn and griding video games alone in your room for 70 years while snorting ashwagandha and cutting out seed oils in a pathetic attempt to be normal really a better alternative?

>A neurotypical will get more done in a month
Absolute horse shit and every time I hear an autistic say this I want to smash my head against dry wall. High functioning autists are high-achieving perfectionistic nerds, always have been. Every time it's the same shit, high school they aced, college the stumbled, but got some useful qualifications, got the higher than average paying job in some corporation
>But because they didn't get a friend group or a waifu
>They claim they've done nothing with life

Every fucking time bro. It makes me want to rip my pubes out holy fuck. I saw you autists in school getting all the high grades and being the star pupil, meanwhile my dumbass was getting screamed at by the teacher for not giving a shit about what's on the whiteboard. Yet somehow the autist never clocks on to the fact he's envied, he's so envied he gains school bullies who hate him for his success. Fffffffuuuucking infuriating bro, I never bullied no one but you have any idea how much greener the grass is on the autist side of the game? Pretty fucking green.
