so you want advice huh? here it is:
you don't want advice, you couldn't give a shit about it, even if you had a guide that explained everything you needed to do to get what you wanted you wouldn't do shit
this is because you only want the results, you don't want to actually try to put the work in
>but I actually want it, I just can't do it
no, you didn't even try, you don't want to do it in the first place, you don't admit it to yourself because that would hurt your ego, so you go on telling yourself lies to yourself
pathetic! you're pathetic!

Looks like someone is in the process of getting out of the Matrix.

Okay, now what?

op is an idiot. this shit site and the world is already bad enough as it is, i dont see the point in demoralisation posts. you are part of the problem

Crab bucket

>>35092873
doesn't seem like demoralization to me
More like an attempted kick in the ass for the people who go around talking and thinking about changing things in their lives while never taking the steps to actually get there. They keep asking for advice on repeat, daydream a bit about how they're gonna change everything, then go on behaving completely the same.

Why do you assume what I want is or has ever been achievable?

>>35092725

Although his language is harsh, he may be onto something. The reality is that most people here aren't really looking for advice per se, but rather for a place where they can feel validated and self-righteous about their suboptimal, if not downright stupid, life choices.

Take a quick look at the catalog. Most of the time, what you'll see is a bunch of 20-somethings (I'm one of them) who are some combination of bored, lonely, mentally ill, cynical, lazy, abused, and/or deeply afraid of facing discomfort, pain, and suffering to varying degrees, all of which are unavoidable parts of life for 99% of people.

As I see it, most people here seem to have enough mental capacity to deal with whatever they're whining about in their lives. They just can't seem to get themselves into a mental state where they're resilient enough to commit to making any kind of long-term changes.

Instead, most guys here (un)consciously choose to keep spinning their wheels, obsessing over extreme ideas and opinions, getting lost in thought, rumination, and analysis paralysis, and getting worked up over made-up scenarios and doomsday predictions about the future to justify their inaction and pessimistic approach to life.

It's the same handful of threads, bait posts, and petty arguments over and over again, as long as they don't have to turn off their PCs or put down their phones, booze, or weed and actually face all the shit that's making their lives miserable.
>>
>>35092725
This is true.

So, I think it's important to remember that we can't think our way into change. Change only happens through action: consistent, repeated effort over long stretches of time.

I like to remind myself that there's no 4chan thread, YouTube motivational video, book, quote, philosophy, morning routine, productivity hack, or piece of content that will magically change me as a person.

Sure, facing head-on just how much life sucks can be painful, boring, and repetitive, but that's where actual growth happens.

i don't know, it's really hard to say that people on here are just ruminating and stuff instead of actually doing something, when this is literally a forum, where you have no idea who is actually putting things into action in real life or not. all you have to goy by is some strangers texts that may or may not be real.

either way, the point is to help and to be helped. and sometimes people just need to vent and some times they just need time.

And what? Yes I am lazy and yes I'm a coward. If I wasn't lazy and a coward I'd kill myself. So you are probably "better" than me based on your culturally influenced value judgements. What about it? Yes I don't want to put work in and no I don't want to change. That's just who I am. I will put this forward; why do you think laziness is "immoral"? Answer: because morality and cultural values serve a utilitarian purpose, and it has been designed to extract value from you. You exist as an organism so you necessarily perceive the world and judge it subjectively, that's why you're judging me right now. I am absolutely against life. I will win when the earth heats up and boils you pricks alive in a few hundred million years. Looking forward to it. Subjective value and the perception of a self cause absolute suffering to everything afflicted by it. A rock is 1 million times wiser than a human being. So my advice to you, if you're so driven and active is to be better than me and kill yourself.

>Hey, look at me! I'm a special edgy little snowflake! Read my wall of text and see how much I don't care about anything, not even my own life! Please, give me attention!
Here's your (you), sweetheart.
>>
>>35096817
I think he's right though
>>
>>35096558
in OP's post nowhere was laziness mentioned, only dishonesty about your actual desires
what a curious reaction it got from you, it's proof of how perception of reality is partly a mirror of yourself
are you being honest with yourself? is it true that you don't want to change? if so, why did you made that copey post? hm?
>>
>>35096859
>>35096817

Better question: why did he trigger you so bad?
>>
>>35096861
two different people
for me it's because not only he didn't understand what he read (nowhere above was written that laziness is immoral like he stated)
it's because he's intellectually dishonest, the usual efilist that pretends to hold objective truth
if life was really that full of suffering, it would trample over his laziness and cowardice and he would off himself despite those, but he's still alive lmao
>>
>>35093785
kinda dumb to wish for something that can't be reached ngl
>>
>>35097007
Indeed, the problem bring that desires, especially long standing ones which have remained stable over the years starting from childhood, aren't very malleable.
>>
>>35092725
Silly post, you didn't even explain what it is that you think needs to be done in order to achieve desired results. You also can't explain why there are people who don't do any of these things and get a girlfriend, while some people do all of them any never find anything, you just say to these people that they gotta try harder and harder
>>
>>35097095
what a dumbass with poor reading comprehension you are
>>
>>35092873
If you are offended by this post then you are the intended audience. Retarded faggot.
>>35092725
I would say most posts just seek validation.
>I am going to kill myself but don't know how even though rope exists.
>X bad thing is happening to me or whatever and I am a loser.
Etc.
>>
>>35096558
This is probably bait but why are you on an advice forum if you know you don't want to change
