How do I control or overcome my vices / bad habits?I have noticed that I have a ton of bad habits and voices that I do without even thinking and have been trying to have more self control but my body really fucking craves this shit at every moment.I have been overeating, playing tons of vidya, masturbating non-stop and being a fucking slob.I also sit my ass all day while I work as a dev at home.
>>34454178It is difficult to overstate just how much psychological damage occurs in the young mind in never experiencing love when it was supposed to. It creates invisible but ever present and outwardly manifesting psychological wounds that may heal over time, but never disappear. It is a lifelong crippling of the mind, affecting things like confidence, self-esteem, healthy thought processes, and inability to cope with the difficulties in life in a healthy way. It breeds attitudes of perpetual envy and anger and depression. Especially when said individuals are constantly bombarded by images and media of people having lived their best life while they missed out and can never experience, ever. Because time is only linearly forward.A means to try and "heal the mind" which has already happened for many who have resigned themselves to apathy and quiet resentment, but it doesn't remove the scar. The scar is always there. Always present. And it will always serve as a reminder, and always influence future thoughts and decisions and actions.
>>34454182this is probably right. i have been doing all of this for maybe 20+ years and I don't like the idea that whenever i try to stop my whole body aches and screechs.

>>34454250>then be honest with yourself and admit that you want to goon, doomscroll etcwell yeah, i want to do that but I also dont want to do that as often ro at all. i don't like the idea of not having control over myself.
>>34454259>i don't like the idea of not having control over myselfbut it's true, most of the actions a person does are determined by factors outside their controlyou aren't the first nor the last to try selfhypnotizing yourself into behaving in an ideal way, but such a thing rarely works if ever
