The Flood / Re: How do I boost my confidence
« on: February 01, 2018, 06:29:37 PM »
thats all well and good, but none of those provide the objective chemical equivalent to working out, even if you really enjoy them.
speaking as someone who spent a lot of time working out a couple years ago, and gained absolutely nothing from it, i do not want an objective chemical equivalent

i want the activity itself to be more worthwhile

you're comparing the faux-happiness achieved from performing an otherwise worthless activity to the genuine happiness achieved from performing activities that i personally consider more valuable

if jono is the type of person who likes feeling confident for no logical reason, i have nothing more to say to him

edit:
have you ever just submitted an incomplete post

do you consider working out to be worthless if someone was trying to improve their health

the best advice i can give is to not feel as though you have to take anyone's advice

if someone here's telling you to do shit a certain way, but you don't feel in your heart that it's the right thing to do, then absolutely don't do it, even if it's been shown to be successful 99% of the time

that's called being fake, and being fake might get you in a relationship, but it's absolutely not going to make you happy, which is ultimately what i think you want in the end

the thing that a lot of people forget to realize is that life isn't a game, and it's not wise to live it like it is one

there's no prima strategy guide for how to get women, and MOST lasting relationships are based on sheer dumb luck and happenstance alone, two people being in the right place and the right time, saying and doing all the right things to each other

so i say just do whatever the hell you want

if that's not good enough for some girl, then she can go fuck herself

thats the reasonable verbatim i like to see

the "use" in working out is the improved confidence levels which in turn help you function in society. what other activities would you recommend that are equally as beneficial yet you consider to be worthwhile?
that's gonna vary from person to person, but for me, it's writing and video games

any hobby that you enjoy doing, really

thats all well and good, but none of those provide the objective chemical equivalent to working out, even if you really enjoy them.

because apart from the whole idea that shallow cunts are undesirable, it's also undesirable to assume that a girl would be into you just because you're physically attractive, that's kind of insulting to her, too

it's all fucked up, i don't know why intelligent people bother

well i know it doesn't necessarily matter to you, but some intelligent people like feeling healthy and well. personally i don't truly care because i think people should be miserable in order to foster efilist notions, but as someone who already has those ideas, i'd like to not feel like waking up everyday is a gigantic burden, y'know?

i mean any relationship that doesnt last is a giant waste of time in that light. its kind of... unavoidable? people are shitty. i wouldnt blame anyone from not "trying" because of that.
yeah, and that's precisely why i don't

the point of a relationship is to have it last

if you knew a relationship wouldn't last going into it, would you bother

we seem to be on the same page here, so...

it's generally pretty easy to tell what a girl is into you for so i don't think it's that big of a deal

someone who likes you for you looks, do you really expect that to last
that's the problem

relationships that begin based off of physical attraction alone are relationships that should never have begun at all

not only is that just a waste of everybody's time, it's incredibly fucking hurtful when it suddenly dawns on you

you're just an object to them, oh cool awesome that makes me feel great

i mean any relationship that doesnt last is a giant waste of time in that light. its kind of... unavoidable? people are shitty. i wouldnt blame anyone from not "trying" because of that.

the problem with working out is that you will never know if a girl likes you for you, or for your body

so i'd find that plan viscerally unappealing no matter what
idk about anyone else, but for me, the gym is less about looking good, and more about feeling good. if you feel good about yourself, it's easier to be confident, and the rest of your life improves from that. i think there's something to be said about liking how you look, but working out even as an "unfit" person empirically makes you feel better because of the workout high. it's just good for you even if you dont have fitness goals of any kind.

unless you're willing to take the argument further... "does she like me for me, or my confidence?" where i think it'd be silly to make the distinction.
i kind of get that?

but i'd still recommend avoiding any endorphins attained from activities that are otherwise useless or unproductive

in other words, there's better ways to do it that are less time-consuming and actually give you something of value at the end

unless your job involves lifting heavy shit frequently, being stronger isn't going to do much for you if you're not attracted to dumb shallow bitches

the "use" in working out is the improved confidence levels which in turn help you function in society. what other activities would you recommend that are equally as beneficial yet you consider to be worthwhile?

I don't understand why so many parents threaten or actually kick their kids out. I've only ever seen that make the situation go from bad to much worse.

frustration and desperation.

In my experience, if you genuinely make the effort to make things right, despite what they've done or do to you, things do get better.
    Well, my mother told me that I'll be kicked out of the house, if I don`t find job until summer. I also probably need along with it not to be kick out from uni and write my bachelor diploma. She also told me that she doesn`t want my money (I'm earning money as top rated student, then I'm paying back for it doing job for uni or companies my uni made partnership with), she also told me that she wants to make me happy, and if I gonna have a place in the world, I'll be happy. And you know what?
      I'll find a job. I'll finish uni and get bachelor and even masters degree, even if I know that I'm not gonna be happy of it, quite opposite - I'll probably hate it. But on one condition: I'm not gonna live with her. I'll take care of her, I'll move her to other country, I'll visit her regularly, but on my first good opportunity I'll move from her. And, after thinking about it for some time, I think it will be fine.
      Well, she was celebrating her birthday, which was 15 Jan, and her coworker birthday, which is today, and she got drunk despite her attempts to prevent it, it is very rare for her to get drunk, but this year is going shit on top of shit and it got her and it`s not her fault. It just hurts.

Sounds like a pretty standard situation. Not to belittle your issues, but your mom is just worried about you. Find a way to convince her you've grown up and know what you're doing. Showing vulnerbility helps a parent understand your situation better than rebelling.
It`s not just rebelling, my studying or job as programmer requires all my attention focused on study or job and I need to be alone and not bugged, so I need to move from my mom eventually. I told her that I want to live separately 2 years ago. But otherwise you are right, thanks for concern.

You have to make time for both studying and family.

I'm starting to dislike Geekdom

Prehistoric, we need you to make vids instead

Hm, why is that?

But yeah, Geekdom is pretty annoying. I don't like Rhymestyle either. Honestly the only DB Tubers I like are DBAnimators, Ajay, and SethTheProgrammer (in small doses... when he collabs with Chuck the cringe is off the charts.)

TotallyNotMark is pretty great too.

I dunno, you seem to be knowledgeable about it. I'd listen to you more than Geekdom

I just don't feel I have any sort of role to fill in the community. Maybe once I start making custom animations and uploading them I'll do other stuff.

Mark is a nice guy but I don't really enjoy his content all that much. He sometimes talks about things he doesn't really understand. ZeeHallums is the other one I was forgetting. He doesn't post as much as I'd like, though.

Does it have to be a community? It would be a bit shit if you had to 'fit in' or whatever just to make videos. I guess maybe you'd get people like Geekdom complaining about it or whatever

Well, for one, I think less of of Youtube channels that do easy content like weekly Super reviews, or "Top 10s", so I wouldn't really want to fill that role like Geekdom/Rhymestyle do. I love Animation, but I don't know enough to do anything special in comparison to Ajay, and I don't have the inclination to make AMVs like DBAnimators. I don't want to learn how to powerscale, either. So I'm just sort of doing my own thing for the time being.
