Fpbp, I fell for the side effects fear mongering and let my hair rot away. I finally got in it last year and it stopped my balding completely, had zero sides, but now I'm stuck at NW3 when I had a NW0 just 5 years ago.
I started balding aggresively at 17 and was beyond the point of no return by 19. By 20 it was already shaving time. e-boing at telling myself at 20 it would have already been too late. Fin only started getting talked about widely here a few years ago. i had no idea there was any remedies when i was that young. I was drinking like 6 cups of green tea and taking b12 cause i thought it would do something lmao.
yes you are correct, however pharmashills are the ones trash-talking finasteride
finasteride patents expired and it's a generic drug now, costs *literal* cents per day. I get a years worth supply for like 10 euros. That's why pharmashills are out in full force trying to convince people that they need to stop taking finasteride and get on their newer, patented drugs which makes them a lot more money
>take fin >groggy as fuck >cut back to 3 times a week >no side effects
it definitely hasnt made my hair any thicker but loss wise it seems to be about the same as when i started, maybe a little loss. it's no magic pill thats for sure
Go ham at SS for a year then do a push pull(with deadlift) legs high volume to failure split once a week. Eat a ton of starch and vegetables. Don't eat sweets/fats. Don't obsess over protein quality.
It’s all bullshit. SSRI and the like change your brain chemistry and in 99.9% of cases that can be changed through behaviour, plus they have a massive downside of prolonging anxiety/depression and then withdrawal, long lasting side effects.
Psychology is 99.9% cope and memes. It turns you in on yourself in a bad way. Therapists talk about stuff they don’t understand as if it is an empirical science.
System of a down. You were created by God. You don’t need your brain chemistry “re-balanced” - you need to find out that you have a creator and that you are made in his image. This life is pain because creation is corrupted. That’s why when God became one of us he was crucified. It had to be that way, that was always going to happen. That’s what happens in this world. The righteous get crucified. But there has only ever been one truly, purely righteous man. And he suffered the same fate. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. Fully God, fully man. A perfect man who did nothing but being life to everyone around him, who gave of himself, who loved God, obeyed his commandments amd loved others with everything in his being. Healing them. Showing mercy to thieves and prostitutes and lepers. Befriending outcasts. This world crucified him. All we need to do is believe he did the right thing and do the same.
some people need extra chemicals bro my brother is a legit schizo perfectly fine on meds off meds hes throwing feces in the middle of the street screaming about pedophiles in the walls
>Don’t go to a psychologist or take anti-depressants
Why not? I've never done either but I'm curious
Not him but I did therapy for 2 years (no meds) and concluded that, although most therapists are good people who want the best for their patients, the industry requires people to not get better. The moment you're healed is the moment you stop paying them.
My therapist admired that I was proactive about things, reading books in addition to our sessions, always asking for advice on the next step or technique. But ultimately they were only trained to help me talk through what I was going through, never to make things better.
I forgot who said it but some Ivy league psych professor is outspokenly against therapy, and says the same stuff, notably: "knowing more about the negatives in your life doesn't help you change them. You can study your negatives intimately, and in the end you're still just left with the knowledge of whats bad, and how to fix it. So save the time and money and just fix it".
No problem at all, I have good hair genetics.
And I even tried Masterone and Trenbolon.
On Mast I lost some hair, when I was going through my hair I always had like 2-3 hairs in my hand.
But when I stop my hair gets thicker again.
I guess even if I had hairloss I would just fly to turkey and get a hair transplant, costs nothing.
Just start lifting, start making your muscles burn in anyway possible, don't worry about routines, you won't be able to make all of them and it will discourage you. Don't worry about min/maxxing and getting 5% out of your lifts, just lift and sprint. Also read Nietzsche through the prism of the importance of the physical form, that will inspire you. Bronze Age Mindset will be released in six years time and you'll be ahead of the curve.
I mean my life would be easier if I hadn't failed out of both college and trade school. Also considering every woman I've been with was awful the logical conclusion is that it's probably on me.
hit the gym, put the fork down, and stop giving a fuck. start going boxing and stick with it too. everyone is different, and not all of them are gonna like you. its a lot easier to be self confident when you know you outbench or outbox the average person. sack up and just be yourself. and stop taking yourself so seriously. it makes you look even more insecure, learn to take a fucking joke.
Lift and start martial arts now, stop eating junk, don’t marry that dumb bitch, pump and dump, you’re more attractive to women than what you think you are, but your game sucks, stop giving a shit what most people think and just be you. Oh, and when that guy offers you a business opportunity, fucking DO IT.
lift,run ,stop wasting your time on internet or on videogames,go learning a martial,go learn to soot and hunting and go back to learn maths,bio and physic.
Don't leave her and don't hurt her because ultimately you are going to hurt yourself
It might sound unbelievable, but you are the free-est you'll ever will be. Try out the sport options your university offers. Get fit, get to the gym, or literally pick up any sports
Don't you everever play wow again
Sleep more
Eat more
Don't abandon your childhood friends
These alone will heal your depression
>people you party with ain’t your real friends >stop drinking and smoking and start running >get back on the path you were on at 18 >wear condoms, retard >everything is full of vegetables oils, don’t consoom that shit
Quit video games and your drive in other things will dramatically improve (ie: studies, gym, etc)
Quit porn
Quit weed
Ultimately there were mistakes that I made that I learned from, so I wouldn't try to change much; but I definitely could have benefitted from dropping some of the things that were sapping my motivation and drive.
Join the triathlon team, lift, do boxing and any grappling martial art, EAT PROPERLY (yes you’re a poor college kid, but this is an absolute priority).
As for life lessons, just put yourself in uncomfortable positions, that’s how you grow into being a man…getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.
And one last thing for all the teens to early 20s guys…your body is still developing. My friend just yesterday sent a pic of our little friend group from when we were 21 and in college. It’s almost unbelievable how much more handsome my buddies got face wise years later…their jaws chisseled out and of course having stubble really rounds out their looks. Of course we’ve all been good about taking care of our health etc., but really if you’re under fucking 30 or so, cut that black pill defeatist talk, you’re literally still growing and developing into a man.
Visit a specialist to find out where that stroke came from in the first place, until then keep taking your meds.
stop smoking weed and dont watch so much porn you degenerate virgin.
start to lift again or swim or climb and fucking stick to it, eat regulary and you will stop being a pathetic lanklet.
As soon as you find that BTC-Atm dump all you have in there and fucking keep it instead of wasting it on drugs, also do not get involved with that succubus, she belongs in a ward!
>play less video games >play sports >say "yes" to things in general, get out of your fucking room
video games are great but you have to watch out so you don't get addicted. I used to play games like 8-10 hours a day back in school while my friends were playing sports and kissing girls. At the time I thought they were dumb but now I realize I was the dumb one.
I doubt I could convince the retard that was me at 20 to do anything useful. Going back to body snatch my 20 year old self would be the only way to save myself.
stop fucking playing videogames.
try different jobs
fuck more girls even if they look average
manage your dopamine
get a sleeping pattern
drop energy draining looser friends
try new stuff more regularly
learn piano and/or guitar
paint
draw
masturbate less
dont watch porn

Interesting that you all wish you had fucked more average girls. Where did this come from? Did you hold out for perfect girls that never came along?
T. someone who fucked literally everything with a pulse and loved it
Change majors in uni, but don't take accounting and keep going for that firefighter dream. Start running slowly so you don't fuck your knees permanently
>What would you tell your 20 yo self? ISTness speaking. But general life lesson is OK too.
Go lift, bro. Stop wasting time on video games and chasin' skirts. Don't be a pussy, eat big and lift big. Trust me, it pays off in the long run
Start a business in college.
Don't get a PhD.
Lift weights instead of exclusively doing cardio.
Start more groups instead of joining groups.
Be more empathetic towards other people.

You're not chubby because of your genetics, but because your mom is obese and tells you you're already lean (not her fault, tho, she really thought that way). You CAN get leaner.
Don't lower your calories too much, it's killing your gains. Stick to the gym and trust the process.
Work full time with school part time.
Save and invest money to buy a house.
Say yes more often.
Start learning to cook now.
Use the internet less.
Travel more.
Game less.
Exercise and gym more.
Join the military earlier.
Cut toxic people from your life, family and friends.
I could go on and on.
Im 20 years old and i would go back in time to few days ago to talk to that cute girl from my class more sooner. Oh well, go big or go home, and the more i go the better i get
>dump current gf it will end in a year anyways and you’ll be a wreck >start cutting, dont stop lifting, get assessed for sleep apnea/sleep on the floor >stay away from all drugs >give up on current desired career path it sucks, the people getting into it mostly suck, and the pay is ass. Go to trade school for electrician, learn to weld. Get job asap. Save. You do not want to be almost 30 still living at home. >move out asap, always have $20,000 MINIMUM saved. Ensure you never have to live at home again >keep loose contact with these friends because through them you will meet another girl. It still may not last but it will be better than your current gf and you need to experience that. But after that cut them off, they’re scumbags holding you back >still get your EMT license anyways, try to have approx $50k saved up. A virus will hit and there will be a massive money finesse that the state pays for. Start learning about CLIA certificates/licenses and at about 2019 try to get in touch with [these medical professionals] to become an owner. Propose to them the ideas on [drawn out list of bsuiness plan I stole] to have 1/4th ownership of the entire company. [this doctor] is the friendliest and easiest to work with, he will genuinely help you without fucking you over like the other 3]. You will make half a mil a month. If you’re an owner. You will be in a position to never work again if you operate even a half of the duration of state funded testing. You’ll be able to retire before your even late 20s. >never shit where you eat btw bro, you will make out with a coworker and she will tell everyone you raped her. In fact once you get that security gig, allow people you know to steal and split profits with you out of spite towards the black supremacist management. They can’t do anything but fire you and will never be able to prove you know the people you let steal. >Enjoy life
There is a lot I would do differently
>lower the weights on all your lifts, focus on form, slow reps and time under tension, do more drop sets and sets x failure (failure = concentric>isometric>cheat into eccentric) >sleep more, eat more vegetables and a more varied diet to get more micronutrients >cardio at least once a week, preferably twice
I assume you're not allowed to cheat by saying buy crypto or stock X that went to the moon so >find 2-4 good index funds and dump all your cash there, save monthly >say yes to more things >quit porn >make more of an effort to make new friends, when you meet new people don't just because an acquaintance, become a friend >be more sincere with people, you know you don't like small talk so try having deeper conversations with those who are interested instead of having a layer of irony over almost all your interactions
Probably more shit I could add but I've got to go to bed now. The problem with giving your younger self advice is that you would probably be too stupid to listen, even if you knew it came from yourself.
She’s a lazy piece of shit and will only get worse after having the kids. The love will fizzle out and the next 18 years of you giving her all you could will be repaid by her turning into an overweight, weak person who blows up in the face of anything slightly difficult.
You’ll wander aimlessly through life in a daze, your only joy being your two kids which you lovely dearly. Attempting to avoid your partner by spending your evenings working out in your garage gym.
But yeah, your garage gym is fucking sweet, so there’s that at least.
Fitness:
It’s not vain, it’s easier than you think, you can still be an intellectual just look at Plato
Life: No one is going to rescue you, you have to get off your own ass and take the things you want for yourself. Also, don’t chase a woman who doesn’t want you. Even if she dates you in the end it won’t be worth it. And stop letting your pride prevent you from improving your life.
>take calculated risk >say yes to things >get out your comfort zone >spend as much time as you can with friends and family >enjoy your free time >do that thing you want even if you think it won't work out
>do that thing you want even if you think it won't work out

I would have started saving and investing now. Do not drink, do not smoke pot, do not waste money on needless expenses. Do not masterbate. Do not put woman on a pedestal and work on self-improvement constantly. Don't get sucked into the bar/hookup scene. Be your own man and own who you are.
That's about it. All that I listed I did and I regret most of it.
I wouldn't say anything at all because despite all the bad times it's made me who I am right now.
I do not live with regret and neither should anyone here. You are your best self because you're the only version of yourself that made it this far.
Nothing I say to my past self will matter. I will end up the same, otherwise I would never go back in time to tell myself that nothing will change. Grandfather paradox is a heartless bastard.
>Eat more, like way more, learn to count calories >Lift smart, stretch and warm up even even you don't think you need to, injury will put you way further back >No one at the gym cares that you're dyel, don't waste months lifting at home first >Invest in Bitcoin like a lot a lot.
>Don't smoke weed, or, if you must, only do it on the weekends. Long story short, at this point you are no longer really smoking weed; the weed is smoking you. >Don't even bother with alcohol. >Mind-altering substances, including SSRI's, prevent you from thinking clearly and slowly turn you into a different (worse) version of yourself. >The reason why you're underperforming at school is because you believe in binge studying (cramming) and multitasking. Instead, study each subject for 10-15 minutes a day, every day. >Try lots of extracurricular activities. Get out more. >Don't eat shit. Get a handle on the basics of nutrition science.
>life is great >life will become even better >you’ll have a kid with the perfect woman in your life >you’ll enjoy every moment >don’t be stupid and use up all your savings when Covid hits, you’ll need it for when Ukraine gets invaded and prices go up like crazy. >don’t sell your car, the EV car you swap with will be a complete disaster.
1. People who tell you money doesn't matter have never had money. By working hard in your twenties and maximising your income, you'll make the rest of your life a hell of a lot easier.
2. Pick up a sport as a hobby and stick to it, team sports, especially like soccer and rugby, you'll make new friends and have a great time. It's also something you can turn to when going through a bad patch.
3. The only woman's opinion you should ever care about is your mother's. She's one of only two people you'll meet in your life who has your best interests at heart.
4. Listen to your parents: see 3
5. Don't party too much. It takes up time you could be self-improving.
6. If you're ever on the fence about going to the gym one day. Go. You'll feel much better about it.
7. Travel as much as you can in your twenties
8. If you get the opportunity to work abroad, go.
9. Don't overly worry about anything. By the time you reach your mid-30s, you'll realise how short life is, and there's nothing worth worrying about.
10. Change jobs fairly frequently - the loyalty you give to a company is never reciprocal.
Get your ED issues examined by a doctor. Fuck more. Don't get in a relationship with a woman who earns way less than you. You're so far from done, you'll only just begun.
Lift heavy and don't focus so much cardio. Stop drinking, smoking weed and playing video games. Stop thinking women are rational and what they say should be taken at face value. Study harder. Drink 4+ cups of black coffee a day. Wake up earlier. Eat carnivore. Stop eating sugar and sneed oils. Embrace and be happy with my autism instead of trying to somehow correct it. Don't get married.
That girl who for three years always sat in front of you, without fail, in lectures and seminars is into you and if you go for her you can at least brag you banged an heiress.
Don't waste your time with college, take whatever little savings you have and put it all in BTC and ETH. Start lifting a 12x3 routine and forget about that sharding strength shit, forget about vidya because that shit sucks. Don't bother chasing skirts, it won't make you happy. Even if you end up a billionaire, you will never be happy, and honestly, it's only in struggle do we truly feel alive. One day, you'll look back and realize you "made it," but you'll find a new mountain to climb.
Take finasteride. NOW.
Fpbp, I fell for the side effects fear mongering and let my hair rot away. I finally got in it last year and it stopped my balding completely, had zero sides, but now I'm stuck at NW3 when I had a NW0 just 5 years ago.

Go ham at SS for a year then do a push pull(with deadlift) legs high volume to failure split once a week. Eat a ton of starch and vegetables. Don't eat sweets/fats. Don't obsess over protein quality.
I'd tell myself to drop out, it doesn't get any better. You can't start anew without letting things end.
I can relate so much : (
Don’t drink alcohol

Don’t go to a psychologist or take anti-depressants

>say "yes" to things in general, get out of your fucking room
video games are great but you have to watch out so you don't get addicted. I used to play games like 8-10 hours a day back in school while my friends were playing sports and kissing girls. At the time I thought they were dumb but now I realize I was the dumb one.
Eat as much ass as possible before getting married.
>Stop drinking and start lifting, you whiny gay!
I doubt I could convince the retard that was me at 20 to do anything useful. Going back to body snatch my 20 year old self would be the only way to save myself.
buy bitcoin
stop fucking playing videogames.
try different jobs
fuck more girls even if they look average
manage your dopamine
get a sleeping pattern
drop energy draining looser friends

Interesting that you all wish you had fucked more average girls. Where did this come from? Did you hold out for perfect girls that never came along?
T. someone who fucked literally everything with a pulse and loved it
it was a weird mix of
>self sabotage
>lack of self respect
>beta
>performance anxiety
>coomer ed
>porn desensitization
Eat more and track your calories. Drinking protein after the gym won't do it all.
Go do the military training
Nothing , nothing at all…I would just smile and hug myself with a pat on the back and go back in time here again.
Change majors in uni, but don't take accounting and keep going for that firefighter dream. Start running slowly so you don't fuck your knees permanently
>Go to the garage and have a nice day with that rope next to the lawnmower. The next 20 years of your life is going to be hell on earth. END IT NOW!!!
>sent from my iPhone
>What would you tell your 20 yo self? ISTness speaking. But general life lesson is OK too.
Go lift, bro. Stop wasting time on video games and chasin' skirts. Don't be a pussy, eat big and lift big. Trust me, it pays off in the long run
Start a business in college.
Don't get a PhD.
Lift weights instead of exclusively doing cardio.
Start more groups instead of joining groups.
Be more empathetic towards other people.
Ditch your loser friends, quit drinking, and eat properly.
CICO to lose weight, pescatarian just fruit and fish is the best for skin and looksmaxxing
>don't join the military. it puts you on a downward spiral until like 25 when you start to get out of it and ~28 when you're "back to normal"
>invest into btc.
>cut your parent out of your life. they never change and by hanging with them you are recreating the cycle and bad experiences from your childhood. aka: you never grow up until they're out of your life
>get on trt asap
>get on tinder and fuck everything that moves. after 2020 the app becomes infested with tiktok gay and reddit nerds. basically unusable
>your friends from school become different people. bite the bullet and accept when it is time to let them go. remember the good times, but don't expect things to be like they were in the past.
I would tell myself to invest everything I had into bitcoin and then NFTs and then tell myself exactly when to bail out.
>go to the gym
>Get a job
>Work on your social skills by talking to your coworkers and classmates in college
>Going out alone to clubs and raves is easier when it’s music you’re genuinely interested in
>There are more girls who think your more attractive then you actually think
It doesn't matter, I'd never listen to it.
>Don't stop lifting, and eat like shit because you are depressed that only makes it worse.
>Start meditating everyday
>Talk to people even if it fells awkward no progress can be made if you don't put in effort.
>Buy BTC sell as soon as normies start talking about it.
You're not chubby because of your genetics, but because your mom is obese and tells you you're already lean (not her fault, tho, she really thought that way). You CAN get leaner.
Don't lower your calories too much, it's killing your gains. Stick to the gym and trust the process.
> don’t cheat on her
> don’t cheat on her
> don’t cheat on her
Dont give her 6 years of your life. She will leave you for refusing to take part in medical experimentation and replace you within a month.
Don’t run from God.
Don't be a dick to Debora. She's a great girl and if she leaves you will miss her.
I’m 20 now so nothing
Get fit, apply for student-neetbux, move in with your gf ASAP and study engineering instead of physics.
20 year old me would not listen to 40 year old me
Work full time with school part time.
Save and invest money to buy a house.
Say yes more often.

Use the internet less.
Travel more.
Game less.

Join the military earlier.
Cut toxic people from your life, family and friends.
I could go on and on.
kill women
Im 20 years old and i would go back in time to few days ago to talk to that cute girl from my class more sooner. Oh well, go big or go home, and the more i go the better i get
>dump current gf it will end in a year anyways and you’ll be a wreck
>start cutting, dont stop lifting, get assessed for sleep apnea/sleep on the floor
>stay away from all drugs
>give up on current desired career path it sucks, the people getting into it mostly suck, and the pay is ass. Go to trade school for electrician, learn to weld. Get job asap. Save. You do not want to be almost 30 still living at home.
>move out asap, always have $20,000 MINIMUM saved. Ensure you never have to live at home again
>keep loose contact with these friends because through them you will meet another girl. It still may not last but it will be better than your current gf and you need to experience that. But after that cut them off, they’re scumbags holding you back
>still get your EMT license anyways, try to have approx $50k saved up. A virus will hit and there will be a massive money finesse that the state pays for. Start learning about CLIA certificates/licenses and at about 2019 try to get in touch with [these medical professionals] to become an owner. Propose to them the ideas on [drawn out list of bsuiness plan I stole] to have 1/4th ownership of the entire company. [this doctor] is the friendliest and easiest to work with, he will genuinely help you without fucking you over like the other 3]. You will make half a mil a month. If you’re an owner. You will be in a position to never work again if you operate even a half of the duration of state funded testing. You’ll be able to retire before your even late 20s.
>never shit where you eat btw bro, you will make out with a coworker and she will tell everyone you raped her. In fact once you get that security gig, allow people you know to steal and split profits with you out of spite towards the black supremacist management. They can’t do anything but fire you and will never be able to prove you know the people you let steal.
>Enjoy life
There is a lot I would do differently
>lower the weights on all your lifts, focus on form, slow reps and time under tension, do more drop sets and sets x failure (failure = concentric>isometric>cheat into eccentric)
>sleep more, eat more vegetables and a more varied diet to get more micronutrients
>cardio at least once a week, preferably twice
I assume you're not allowed to cheat by saying buy crypto or stock X that went to the moon so
>find 2-4 good index funds and dump all your cash there, save monthly
>say yes to more things
>quit porn
>make more of an effort to make new friends, when you meet new people don't just because an acquaintance, become a friend
>be more sincere with people, you know you don't like small talk so try having deeper conversations with those who are interested instead of having a layer of irony over almost all your interactions
Probably more shit I could add but I've got to go to bed now. The problem with giving your younger self advice is that you would probably be too stupid to listen, even if you knew it came from yourself.
Leave your missus, today.
She’s a lazy piece of shit and will only get worse after having the kids. The love will fizzle out and the next 18 years of you giving her all you could will be repaid by her turning into an overweight, weak person who blows up in the face of anything slightly difficult.
You’ll wander aimlessly through life in a daze, your only joy being your two kids which you lovely dearly. Attempting to avoid your partner by spending your evenings working out in your garage gym.
But yeah, your garage gym is fucking sweet, so there’s that at least.
it feels so weird reading stuff like this, how many things in life can't be undone, scary af.
>But general life lesson is OK too.
Don't Fucking Join the Army.
Fitness:
It’s not vain, it’s easier than you think, you can still be an intellectual just look at Plato
Life: No one is going to rescue you, you have to get off your own ass and take the things you want for yourself. Also, don’t chase a woman who doesn’t want you. Even if she dates you in the end it won’t be worth it. And stop letting your pride prevent you from improving your life.
Stop using 4ch
It's never going to be a perfect time to buy a horse so just do it right now.
Don't let your brother go to college. Do everything you can to stop that from happening.
I’m 20 right now. How do I live a life with no regrets?
Just do everything in the thread
>take calculated risk
>say yes to things
>get out your comfort zone
>spend as much time as you can with friends and family
>enjoy your free time
>do that thing you want even if you think it won't work out
>do that thing you want even if you think it won't work out
Fuck this hits hard. I’m trying to get into medschool one day but I’m afraid I won’t make it. But I’m trying. Thanks dude.
>t. The 20 year old anon
Don't get addicted to heroin you little retarded gay

Get the fuck out of the military and go be a truck driver.
Learn some humility.
I'd be 5, so I'm not sure I'd listen

>I'd be 5
So you were 5 years old when you were 20 years old?
lol retard
Kms
I'm 21 and already doing more than half the advice given in this insufferable thread, Common W
Stop going back to the apartment and napping between classes. It fucks with your sleep schedule.
I'd tell my 20y/o self to just end it
20 was 13 years ago for me...
I would have started saving and investing now. Do not drink, do not smoke pot, do not waste money on needless expenses. Do not masterbate. Do not put woman on a pedestal and work on self-improvement constantly. Don't get sucked into the bar/hookup scene. Be your own man and own who you are.
That's about it. All that I listed I did and I regret most of it.
I wouldn't say anything at all because despite all the bad times it's made me who I am right now.
I do not live with regret and neither should anyone here. You are your best self because you're the only version of yourself that made it this far.
I would tell him nothing helps.
Nothing I say to my past self will matter. I will end up the same, otherwise I would never go back in time to tell myself that nothing will change. Grandfather paradox is a heartless bastard.
>Eat more, like way more, learn to count calories
>Lift smart, stretch and warm up even even you don't think you need to, injury will put you way further back
>No one at the gym cares that you're dyel, don't waste months lifting at home first
>Invest in Bitcoin like a lot a lot.
I would rape myself. Now neither of us would be virgins.
>Don't smoke weed, or, if you must, only do it on the weekends. Long story short, at this point you are no longer really smoking weed; the weed is smoking you.
>Don't even bother with alcohol.
>Mind-altering substances, including SSRI's, prevent you from thinking clearly and slowly turn you into a different (worse) version of yourself.
>The reason why you're underperforming at school is because you believe in binge studying (cramming) and multitasking. Instead, study each subject for 10-15 minutes a day, every day.
>Try lots of extracurricular activities. Get out more.
>Don't eat shit. Get a handle on the basics of nutrition science.
Dude weed is not that bad in moderation
only krokodil is bad
>life is great
>life will become even better
>you’ll have a kid with the perfect woman in your life
>you’ll enjoy every moment
>don’t be stupid and use up all your savings when Covid hits, you’ll need it for when Ukraine gets invaded and prices go up like crazy.
>don’t sell your car, the EV car you swap with will be a complete disaster.
cut the beer consumption and video games
dont have a girlfriend, ever
drop university
work
dont worry about how women/ your peers think of you, you are alone, they'll be gone, just focus on your interests
please for the love if everything, source
Joy Donaldson
Start Intermittent Fasting
1. People who tell you money doesn't matter have never had money. By working hard in your twenties and maximising your income, you'll make the rest of your life a hell of a lot easier.
2. Pick up a sport as a hobby and stick to it, team sports, especially like soccer and rugby, you'll make new friends and have a great time. It's also something you can turn to when going through a bad patch.
3. The only woman's opinion you should ever care about is your mother's. She's one of only two people you'll meet in your life who has your best interests at heart.
4. Listen to your parents: see 3
5. Don't party too much. It takes up time you could be self-improving.
6. If you're ever on the fence about going to the gym one day. Go. You'll feel much better about it.
7. Travel as much as you can in your twenties
8. If you get the opportunity to work abroad, go.
9. Don't overly worry about anything. By the time you reach your mid-30s, you'll realise how short life is, and there's nothing worth worrying about.
10. Change jobs fairly frequently - the loyalty you give to a company is never reciprocal.
Get your ED issues examined by a doctor. Fuck more. Don't get in a relationship with a woman who earns way less than you. You're so far from done, you'll only just begun.
Go to Church
Take that advanced Jap class
Go dance
Lift heavy and don't focus so much cardio. Stop drinking, smoking weed and playing video games. Stop thinking women are rational and what they say should be taken at face value. Study harder. Drink 4+ cups of black coffee a day. Wake up earlier. Eat carnivore. Stop eating sugar and sneed oils. Embrace and be happy with my autism instead of trying to somehow correct it. Don't get married.
That girl who for three years always sat in front of you, without fail, in lectures and seminars is into you and if you go for her you can at least brag you banged an heiress.
Stop playing video games. Don't play league ever.
Don't waste your time with college, take whatever little savings you have and put it all in BTC and ETH. Start lifting a 12x3 routine and forget about that sharding strength shit, forget about vidya because that shit sucks. Don't bother chasing skirts, it won't make you happy. Even if you end up a billionaire, you will never be happy, and honestly, it's only in struggle do we truly feel alive. One day, you'll look back and realize you "made it," but you'll find a new mountain to climb.
