I WILL ACE MY INTERVIEWS
I WILL STAY OPTIMISTIC
I WILL GET A BETTER JOB
I WILL ESCAPE

Last week I had a major 2 hour interview. I really want the job but I don’t know if they’ll take me. Interviewing is difficult but I think I’m constantly getting better. For now, I need to keep applying and interviewing until I land a new role. I will make it, I just need to believe in myself and my efforts. Best of luck in your endeavors frens! WAGMI!

I'm still here and saving up cash with my wagie job, I'm not sure about the future. There isn't a whole lot of optimism there. Cold bitter reality sinks in when I'm at work doing repetitive tasks and unable to do anything besides ruminate on the past and its pains.

I've kind of just mentally checked out from the social world at this point since I'm too far gone, I think the best I can hope for is living a quiet life in some corner of the world. Living at home is horrible so van life appeals to me more and more each day. My only contention with being a vagrant is if it would interfere with my meager attempts at fitness or my daily routine

I got the email last week that I have been waitlisted at the only dental school that gave me an interview. My brother, who is currently a D4 there, learned through his connections to the AdCom that I am really low on the list so it is not likely that I will get off the list. If I’m going to reapply, I seriously need to get my DAT score up or enter a grad program for a year and get my GPA up to show some kind of improvement. I’m so demoralized and lost right now. I’ve already taken the DAT twice and don’t see myself pulling even more discipline or focus out of myself than I already have to push it up even further, and I have no idea what a grad program is going to entail or if I’ll even do well in it. My current stats (20AA, 3.4GPA) are not incredible but should’ve gotten me in at least somewhere had I not been such a fucking idiot and gotten my application submitted so late. I’m afraid I’ve screwed myself for good, and that it’s time to look at my backup plans, none of which I’m 100% sure I really want to do. Fuck everything.

I'm going to become a super saiyan by the end of next year

I will do 10 push-ups today

Made it to 215 lbs up from 185 lbs (thanks to Trump's pandemic). My bench has been higher, but for every other lift I'm the strongest I've ever been. I cam do 1/2/3/4 for a set of 10 each.

I just turned 20 and I'm still a virgin. I did briefly date a girl earlier this year (who turned out to have a million red flags so I dropped her) and it did boost my ego and confidence but it's worn off and now the reality is setting back in. I'm talking to another girl right now but if that goes nowhere then I'll have to say it's over. I'm not in school, there's no girls at my job, and I only have one friend that always says he'll help set me up with someone but never actually does.

Otherwise I am satisfied with my life. Aside from being a 5'6 manlet I'm in the best shape of my life and I know I can attract at least two girls, I just have no way of meeting any new ones. I don't know how much longer I can handle being left behind like this because it only gets worse the longer it takes.

I'm really sorry about your situation. I don't know anything about becoming a dentist but I understand how disappointed you must be. Try to recover mentally before you make any decisions. You have your whole life ahead of you, don't throw it all away

>i've been in theater on sunday
>the play opened my eyes, i learned something
>go to work at monday, had a lot of work
>leave work happy
>now im learning and working out
>meeting a girl on weekend (saturday and sunday)
>i feel kinda good

Look at me going bros!

I dunno guys, lately i've been doing things not so much because I want to but more so because I am used to them and if I don't do much in a day I would hate myself to oblivion.

>Fitness
One of the few sisyphean tasks I still find some joy in. It has been getting a bit stale for me and it's kinda hard to find new music to workout to. Starting to learn planche and further developing my handstand have been massive boosts to my fitness motivation tho
>Women
At this point I'm pretty sure I have a higher chance of finding an extinct mythical being than a female that I would feel comfortable with in a relationship. Of the last 5 women with whom I had sex with, 4 of them had boyfriends and the 5th one didn't have a BF buut she had broken up with him two months ago and ghosted me for 3 weeks because she had to "sort some things out with him".
Please don't get me wrong I do NOT go for girls in relationships (My ex cheated in this way and I know how much it can fuck up someone) and I actively try to avoid hooking up with women in relationships, but why is it that these days those with BF's are easier to hook up with, than those that are single?
I just don't feel like I can fall in love at this point. Even if I do would I be justified to be (more) protective and strict when it comes to letting GF go out with her friends/ to party(or some other similar shit) or would it just end up suffocating the relationship?
>Hobbies
Haven't had much motivation to write/film/edit shit. That's okay in a way, can't expect to always have a muse and be creative but then again, lately in head it seems like it's all pointless and I'm doing all that just to seem more interesting/make money and not so much because I want to express myself or have something profound to say
>University
Complete joke. I study in a third world country and i'm pretty sure that at this point the Uni is mainly used to launder money. Professors are pretending to teach, we are pretending to study..complete shitshow.

>>75593109
cont,

The only things truly keeping my head up are my wonderful family and friends, whom I love more than myself.

It's not like im gonna off myself or some shit like that, but I would like to feel like my life has more purpose than just routines caught up in the absurdity of todays life .

what are you guys using to hold yourself accountable and to keep track on your goals for week to week?

Thanks, Anon. My situation is not new and several of my brother’s dental school friends have been in exactly the same boat I find myself in right now. They’re all doing boards and about to graduate as we speak. My head is spinning and I’m overthinking everything. I keep going back and forth on pressing forward and giving it another shot, giving up and doing something else in healthcare (probably nurse anesthetist), or leaving healthcare altogether and becoming a pilot. None of those are bad careers and any of them will eventually earn me enough money to be comfortable, but I feel like no matter what I choose I’ll never let myself be happy, and I’ll always just beat myself up and think constantly about the “what-if”. That’s been my biggest struggle in life: I can never make a choice and just be comfortable with it. I doubt everything I do and always wish I was someone else.

>>75592574
That's seriously impressive! You should be proud of your strength!

>>75593312
Sit down and think good, for a couple of hours, what do you REALLY want to do. Throughout the years I came to the conclusion the if you really think about a problem and thoroughly hypothesize about various solutions to that issue you'll eventually come to a practical solution for you.

Also for your situation, don't be so distraught. By the way it sounded you didn't truly want to study dentistry, feels to me more like your family wanted to. You seem like an ambitious person with plenty of interests, feels like you're at a crossroad point of your life so you just gotta pick something and commit to it.

You can still do the other stuff you want just more as a hobby.

I am completely the same when it comes to getting overwhelmed by the countless opportunities and the "what if's" of my decisions

>>75591606
Anon who’s getting beach condo just wanted to update.
Had an idea. I don’t have to put my 5 year plan on hold. I can just do reserves. I’ll still get my benefits (main thing) and be able to have my beach condo (and fucking keep it) and actually have a life, still get the skills I want which could probably get me the types of jobs I want sooner or maybe an apprenticeship and get into earning good money sooner rather than do 5 years THEN start an apprenticeship. I’d get an extra like $300 a month to go towards my bills which would mean having a bit to actually save instead of living paycheck to paycheck, until I got into a better paying job anyways.
AND I could probably start working on the part of my plan that comes after the 5 years which is utilizing the benefits to get into property flipping or owning rental units. Get a quadplex, make the tenants pay the mortgage. After my 6 years it could be nearly paid off and close to becoming passive income.


The cons are A.) won’t get as much opportunity to practice and gone my skills (makes no difference if I get a job doing similar shit)
And B.) won’t have the savings I’d have if I went active but if I get into the property thing and achieve a better paying job it’s a no difference. Also would have plenty of free time to try and build some businesses like social media bullshit. Only need to make like $2k extra a month for it to work out to be the same for savings which I believe I can do.


Bros I’m excited. I just need to keep losing weight, get into that apartment, start working on the businesses I wanna do, join the navy as reserves, and then I’m there. Then I’ll be at the level where my growth only continues to grow. I’ll be able to date, maybe get a dog if family or whatever chick I’m seeing agrees to care for it when I’m gone on my one weekend a month. But the point is I can actually build a life for myself and still hit my goals bros. I can level up WAGMI

Started my job today as an estimator in an industry I have no idea about. Pic very much related. That being said, it is amazing how much better it is compared to the last company I worked for. Everyone seems more relaxed, there isn't a constant stress that's pounding at you, they don't have a high turnover rate (last place lost 10 people over the year I was there), they pay the same but it's an 8 hour day from the moment you clock in (7:00am-3:00pm, 8:00am-4:00pm, etc), and there isn't a negative vibe in the air where you just know 1 little piece of personal info becomes everyone else's business. It will be a struggle at first but I know it is manageable. If I could make an extra 20k here I will have found my life company. If not, I know it will be a great way to get my foot in the door to where 3 years down the line I could easily be making 6 figures (let's hope inflation doesn't rise like Covid). Either way I'm just shy of that as is.

Only negative thing is that the guy who is training me has a picture of his chubby Latina wife on his computer and now I want a chubby Latina to sit on my face and do anal with. Downloaded some dating apps to see what happens.

Merry Christmas all.

I’ll stay positive for the rest of the week. Unfortunately, I got rejected for a better job today. But I’ll keep working hard. WAGMI

My parents are leaving for a two week overseas vacation on Friday, so I will be completely alone over Christmas and new years. Where I don’t even have family or friends or a relationship to be with. I think some time over those two weeks, I am honestly going to kill myself. It’s all I think about and all I’ve thought about for years, and I think with them being gone, I’ll finally have the opportunity to do it, they won’t realize I’m dead until they get home and I’ll make sure to do it somewhere I’ll hopefully not be found.

How old are you, anon?

Need advice for a guy under a lot of stress right now from school/ job applications.

The problem is that my three main stress behaviours are:
>hypersexuality: beating off like every day, or downloading tinder to fuck 6s. Sometimes this leads to me getting romantically involved with really bad women, and deluding myself until I spontaneously break up with them.
>consuming media: getting home and scrolling through youtube shorts for like 2 hours. Most of it is garbage that I don't even enjoy. But it sucks my time away and I spend so mucch time focussed on that, that I've noticed myself thinking and talking like the retards in the videos I've been seeing (very bad).

I need to get offline, chill out, and stop beating off or looking for romantic opportunities asap. Until I find a job there is no point trying to date anyways

Stay the fuck away from YouTube shorts. Literal brain rot designed for chinks, Pajeets, and retarded teens. Damn shame because even 10 years ago the website had more interesting content. Let alone back pre-2010. Take some shrooms or something you can get at your CBD store to reset your brain. When you're on them, literally do any good habit whether it's cleaning, lifting, reading, or a thing you've never tried before. Shrooms basically delete your ego and you have to make a new one. Don't do them regularly or else you will never become an actual person.

that's surprisingly good advice, thank you friend

One day or day one. How long can you put off working hard?

I think I'm going to quit alcohol and all other substances starting in 2025.
Always been /fit/ and don't consume anything in my daily life, but been binge drinking + doing drugs occassionally for a decade now.
Problem is large parts of my social life involve parties and consumption. I know I need to ditch my friends and my hometown, but at the same time I know I'm too introverted to find a lot of friends ever again in my life. So the decision is basically between being mostly alone, but living the life I prefer, and having tons of friends and constantly being around alcohol and drugs...

On a related note, weirdly alcohol/drugs make me super insecure for some reason. Like as soon as I start drinking all confidence leaves my body and I am transported back to being 16

But you did not ask him to set you up, he offered that himself, right? Just based on what you said, he seems to be the kind of man who constantly says he's going to do something for others but never does; not a man of his word.

If I say I'm going to do something, I'm gonna do it; specially if it's for someone I care about. If a big enough impediment comes up, then I apologize no matter how small the favor is out of respect; which doesn't seem to be what your friend has done.

Idk why but my hatred towards certain people has been motivating me to try harder. It’s been the first time in a long time where I have been dropping weight like nuts again.

Just about to finish my second novel. Got one coming out with a press later this year. Got a pretty uni girl I see a couple times a week. (Still miss my ex, though.) Just registered for a gym membership. Life actually ain't too bad these days, all things considered. Money's tight, though. Any anons having financial success right now? Just got into crypto a month ago, and I'm making decent percentages there, but do you guys know of any decent side-hustles to fund that sort of thing? Gotta get my paper up.

Living straight edge is insanely beneficial for health. Is there any way you can find a middle ground? See if your friends will let you hang out with them even if you drink pineapple juice with them

are you just trading shitcoins off of reading /biz/? looking to get into some crypto stuff myself. what have your returns been like?
>decent side-hustles
try acting in commercials. can get paid $2-3k for a day's worth of filming if you land the right gigs. you get a backstage and/or actor's access account, make a profile with acting reels and a headshot and you're good to go. helps if you're fit/ photogenic /can act.
congrats on the novel and the girl. reminds me that I have perpetual fomo from my lack of participation in sex with college girls, but I started to make up for it during my last stint back at uni and can still go back for more

Explain this to me

>block her on everything and stop talking in person
>got over it, started talking to another girl
>two months go by
>comes up behind me today at work and gives me a present for my birthday
>hand written letter with a bunch of our inside jokes, a cupcake and my favorite candy
>throw it all out because it's goyslop and I'm also kind of paranoid it was laced (she had some shady shit going on)
Wtf am I supposed to do now. Every single time I think I finally got rid of her she always comes back. I would have prefered she gave me nothing at all.

Congrats on ascending to the whitepill and embracing optimism!

Well, there I go repeating the cycle again. I have let go of my fitness when I entered college because its was too stressful for me.
Every semester break, I decide that I'll start exercising again. As the semester starts, I start my new workout routine. But, as the semester drags on and things get stressful, I lose my motivation, time and energy to work out and give up again. I don't think I should try exercising until I graduate.
If it was the only issue, maybe my fitness wouldn't be too affected. But, my binge eating disorder is back too. I barely had it under control before, but in college, with my stress and exhaustion all the time, I binge almost every other day. How do I control my eating habits? Even if I don't exercise, I atleast want to keep my diet on track. I posted this on another thread but none of the faggots gave me an answer.

>>75591885

Either they're really busy with Christmas or I got shadowbanned for closing the account before or maybe app fatigue is reaching zenith.

I’m glad this thread exists every week and I hope it continues for a long time. I’ve been struggling a lot lately. I don’t feel like writing a big long thing, but it’s a lot of dark thoughts and despair. But when I come to this thread, I see that all you guys are still trying and still pushing forward despite your own troubles. I find inspiring and it make me feel a little less alone in a cruel world. I’ve made great progress in the gym this past year and I plan to continue to do so. I don’t know if that good life is out there waiting for me, but I’m gonna try to find it. I hope you guys all find yours. Here’s to many many more /mis/ threads to come.

I don't know if this would calm you anon, but when i was little i peed blood for a short period and it hurt like hell. I was in the hospital during that time but i don't really remember anything and i don't even know what my problem was but it disappeared and i haven't had that problem ever since. I'm happy and proud you got the scan anon, that takes courage, hope everything turns out fine!
>>75603834
I know that feeling and i have gone through this cycle countless times and i still battle it. What helped me was to do even just a little exercise. That day you are going to feel like shit that you couldn't do much but come the next day you will feel proud that you did even just the bare minimum. At least my mind works like that. I'm not gonna say don't stress about school and such because those words never helped me. Hope you can jump this hurdle anon!

>>75605001
Right now, the biggest obstacle to me seems to be my diet. I've fallen prey to my binge eating and this is making me feel like shit. Since exercising saps my motivation and energy, I'll do it later once I first get my diet under control.

>>75602151
Keep going champ! Something better definitely awaits you

>>75603834
Something that helped me keep the habit of exercising was greasing the groove. Basically, you do a small amount of exercise many times in a day, like having a chin-up bar in your doorway and doing a chin-up every time you pass under it. The concept can be generalized to other exercises. Even if you do nothing else that day, you're keeping the mental barrier to exercise low.

When I was in college I would deliberately take a route to classes that would pass by the outdoor pullup and dips bars, and do a few reps, or try and cut through buildings in a way that incorporated as many stairs as possible.

I gotta break up with my gf bros. I’ve been avoiding this feeling for awhile but it’s unavoidable. I feel so drained and agitated when I’m with her now. I could give a laundry list of reasons as to why but really it boils down to the fact that I’m just not in love with her anymore. I catch myself reminiscing for the relationship we used to have. It’s sad to have to do but over the years she’s turned into an unpleasant person to be around. I don’t think she has any idea about how I feel. Getting through the next 2 weeks is going to be very challenging

>>75605712
Have you tried taking to her? I broke up for similar reasons. She was too resistant to talking about problems so I saw no remedy.

>>75605720
No haven’t talked to her at all - to be honest I have no idea what to say. She’s always been super defensive and will lash out and cry whenever I bring up an issue so I basically stopped doing that a long time ago. I don’t know how much I even want to fix things if you know what I mean

>>75603009
Tell her directly that you've moved on but appreciate the sentiment

>>75605737
Thanks dude. I think that would work - she’s been asking lots of questions about me cheating lately so maybe she’s aware of the change in the vibes

>>75605737
>>75605756
Kek totally replied to the wrong post

>>75603834
I was the same way in college - I'd get really committed to exercising at the start of the semester and stop doing it around midterms/finals. I'd recommend using it as a break, even if it is just for 30 minutes

>>75605737
Why? She treated me like shit and I want nothing to do with her.

>>75605949
then tell her you want nothing to do with her directly

you did your best in those interviews CFA anon, that's the only thing you can control. you got a bit more interview experience and you can take your learnings forward! they are nerve-wracking events overall. take confidence in yourself that you are getting asked to do interviews, you definitely have the skills they are searching for.

career switch anon here. i finally made it to the last module of my cert this week where i can practise the skills i learnt more thoroughly. i'm excited because this is where the real 'learning' begins because i'll have to troubleshoot and solve problems i encounter on my own project. still uncertain when i'll be able to find a full-time role in this position though... but i must keep trying!

on another note, my part-time gig as a tutor is going well. i got feedback last night from a student that i'm his favourite tutor, bless him. overall feedback from class, my tutoring style is engaging and they have fun learning the material.

keep striving and face your difficulties with courage anons, we can do it! good luck.

>>75596854
Same here senpai , not for health reasons or whatever , just because it’s been a while from the last time I’ve been sober , I want to make one year clean … because it was a thing in my small circle and maybe out of 5 only one left who still going that way… don’t want to talk lot…

p.s.
Hey everyone , enjoying posting here after a good break , hope you all doing well :)

>See if your friends will let you hang out with them even if you drink pineapple juice with them
My friends would never encourage me to take any substance if I tell them I want to abstain, but I know I get triggered into wanting to partake as soon as I'm around it. It is fun after all.
That is kinda the problem, my friends are all great people even if they lean too much into the party lifestyle. They really don't deserve me abandoning them, especially since it's mostly because of my own weakness to say no

Thank you, Anon. I'm going to call tomorrow because it slipped my mind to call today. Lots of stuff to do but I'm not able to remember it all. Hoping I can get in, get scanned and if there is something wrong it is detected and fixable.

>>75605225
Thank you, Anon. I'm tired of giving up and letting the world stomp me down. It is liberating to feel healthy and strong and I refuse to go back to how I was. I'll get through this or I'll die defiantly trying.

Was working a nightshift job but it totalled my health and I lost the small amount of gains I had made from starting working out a couple months ago, they started giving me shit so I quit and now I'm back in the gym and trying to fix my sleep but I cannot get through the night without waking up multiple times and struggling to fall back asleep. Going to keep sticking at it though and not get disheartened, hopefully my body just needs time to readjust. Also need to stop texting my ex because it's a waste of time and she made me miserable, I want to go into the new year feeling like a better man.

>>75606875

If they start asking you for money you’re probably blowing things out of proportion

>>75607211
I have a lot of health issues and was just turned down for a night shift job. Your story strengthens my believe that it was a blessing in disguise.

Thanks for the praise, career switch anon. As I was writing my thoughts to you earlier, I received a call from - I got a verbal offer! It is not my dream role and the salary could be better, but it is a huge improvement from what I have currently! I agree with what you said, every failed interview I had did improve my skills. I am happy but now I won’t truly breathe a sigh of relief until I receive a formal job offer.

Congrats on reaching the finish line of your certification! Now is where you will truly shine - find ways to showcase your knowledge in creative ways! See if you can find a way to connect your skills to a practical problem or your hobby. You’re so close, you will definitely make it soon! You’re great work as a tutor demonstrates that you are not only knowledgeable, but you are also patient and kind!

Best of luck frens! Better days are rapidly approaching as a result of our labor!

>>75607375
It absolutely was mate, never work a night shift job because your body will pay the price. Something better will come along for you soon.

For the first time in my life I feel like I just might make it lads.

30 has been coming at me pretty fast, and apart from the schizophrenia diagnosis hovering over me at all times so there being a permanent fear that it can all come crumbling down in an instant, I'm reasonably looking forward to my 30s. Might turn out pretty good. I need to lose a lot of weight still, but I'm committing myself to weight loss next year so I should be all right in my early 30s still. I've got a decent job opportunity that I'm chasing. Things are going steady at church. Just really the insanity thing bringing me down still.

I would advise to get at least a little exercise in, nothing serious. Just 10 pushups, some jumping jacks or anything to move your body. That way you won't be fatigued but you are not going to be that rusty when you start exercising again more seriously.
>>75607782
Best of luck to you too!

I saw her and thanked her. We talked a little, made her laugh and then went away.
It's fucked though, just when I think I finally got over her I'm overthinking, second guessing if I should unblock her and start talking again. The logical part of me says no but the emotional part says yes.
I'm pretty sure I know what's going on. She had some other guy lined up, realized that he didn't treat her like I did, and now she's trying to be friendly with me again even though she "lost feelings".

>>75607782
you're making it CFA anon, this job is a stepping stone to your dream role! you will learn new skills in your new role that will make you a better candidate for the future. when do you expect to receive your formal offer?

i am doing a capstone project. this is the beginning of my portfolio. i hope to showcase my skills and land a junior/entry level role. it's difficult to see when that will eventuate, but i have this goal to devote my efforts to. i will draw inspiration from you hard work and persistence CFA anon. i know i have huge reserves of resilience, endurance, fortitude, grit, and determination. i must remind myself of these traits i have when i encounter dark moods about my career switch.

good luck in your new role. keep us updated!

>>75606853
Then see if you can do activities with them that don’t involve partying

>>75610951
I’m excited and nervous about the role. I’ll receive a formal offer in early January.

Never forget how strong you truly are, career switch anon! You will face difficulties during the next stretch of your life but believe in yourself and what you can accomplish!

Please do share, I've been suffering from them a lot lately.

>>75609427
Yeah, I guess I should do atleast some minimum exercise.
For a while, I'd run with high intensity for 10-15 minutes on the treadmill, and do 2 sets of full body calisthenics. But, it felt like there was no point with so little exercise so I gave up. I also tried meditating but got frustrated and gave up.

One thing that helped me in regards to this problem was to loosen up on my routines. Instead of having these rigid goals (always run 10 minutes every single day or such) i would do them sporadically. I'm not saying to skip your workouts and such but to think of them as something you WANT to do and not something you HAVE TO do. Before this i would always agonize over not giving 120% into every single workout and my overall mood would be ruined if i did badly or missed a day (even if it was because of an illness). This was more of a negative feedback loop, if i did poorly, i would think of myself badly and that would cause my performance (in all facets of life) to go down and i would just crash and burn. Just accept the fact that setbacks happen, you will not be on top of your game all the time. Try to remind yourself that even little things are better than nothing.
If you think about it mathematically, there is an infinite distance between doing 0 and 1 pushup.

>>75613281
Original phrasing sounded like it would be more than that. Will look into it, thanks.

>>75608879
Sorry about your schizo diagnosis. It can all come down, so make sure to live with gratitude and happiness from here on out. You have a lot of admirable goals, work hard so you can complete them!
