Cringe but based

Shut up and keep shopping, goy, you dont want to be anti semitic do you?

>that edgy 13 year old phase

Truths of life are so simple that a teenager can figure it all out. There's nothing to life.

>>13548269

if people have them figured out then why are they still doing them?

>>13548276
I don't buy retarded shit I don't need, do you? How would I know why people act all retarded?

>>13548276
>if people have them figured out then why are they still doing them?
The hardest thing in life is giving up comfort.

>>13548236
Every single action I have taken in the last two years has been motivated by the hope that one day my ex will see how far I've come and regret ever leaving me.

>>13548308
Haha! You are a faggot!

>>13548314
Is self-improvement bad if the motivation for it is bad?

>>13548251
This

>>13548308
This is, interestingly enough, also cringe but based.

>>13548292
>The hardest thing in life is giving up comfort.
This is true. It's why people don't leave bad relationships when everyone around them see it clearly. Why people don't leave soul-crushing jobs, despite complaining all the time about them. Why they KNOW the patterns they keep repeating but will not break them.

Speaking of which, is Fight Club a good book?

Self-improvement is masturbation.

>>13548301
nobody will ever figure out your retardation, play your fucking games somewhere else

>>13548349
Its fine but the movie is better

Because every job is the same hell and/or doesn't pay as much as what I already have.

>>13548397
Good timing.

You're like me, with my peer group from highschool. For so long, I've wanted to "change" for the sake of them seeing the new me as "cool". What an absolute waste it has been, as I recognize now. The only thing I needed to "change" was the feeling of needing to change at all - least of all for their sake. You're still attached to your girlfriend, mentally, hence why she has control over your behaviors. You have let go of that attachment, and after doing so, ask yourself what you personally want for yourself. Then, you'll be on a true path of growth, which doesn't relate to your insecurity regarding your ex's perceptions of you. And you'll ironically likely reach a state after some time where if she did see you, she'd be impressed by the change observed of you.

It takes time, but we'll get there friend.

What kinda self-improvement we talking about here? The kinda that elivates one soul or the one that happens to make other people more money?

Because learning new skills for muh masta isn't self-improvement, it's upgrading biomachinery.

>>13548236
Nothing wrong with this quote. Fight Club was great and is only hated because of its popularity. People can't stand it when things turn popular here especially when anons didn't like it that much.

>>13548236
Babby's first epiphany.

>>13548584
Is an Authenticity Paradox. If something is considered true, it's authentic. If something is considered popular, it's inauthentic. So as more people latch onto its authenticity and make it popular, it inevitability because inauthentic; despite still being true.

>>13548349
I enjoyed the book. And it isn't very long so if you are considering it I'd pick it up.

Unfortunately a vast majority of people don't have that "awakening" my roommate for example bought $1000 worth of wine yesterday (5 bottles in total) when I asked him why, he said "for when we have really special guests over" we've never had guests over, and spends most of his days of netflix.

The soul-elivating kind. I’ve expanded my mind beyond anything I thought capable even a year ago, and I’m still growing. I’ve even written half a novel just to spite this woman who likely doesn’t and will never care.

>>13548236
I don't buy things I don't need,
Always pay cash,
I don't try to impress anyone, yet somehow I seem to have that effect on people and also I don't feel any which way about most people.

>>13548549
That’s pretty true. I actually am doing a job I really like for the first time in my life, but it took me 2 years to save up enough money to go home to see my family.

You can either like your job, or make lots of money.

I think I’m in a better position now. Liking what you do everyday is better than hating what you spend most of your time doing so you can have more money to, in theory, be happier than if you didn’t have a lot of money in it the small gaps of time you aren’t at work.

mmhmm

>>13548834
Thanks for the (you), much appriciated.

Did you love her or is this to prove that she misjudged your value?

>>13548431

have sex

>>13548858
I did love her, and I still do, even if I like to pretend that I don’t,

plain and simple. the typical 'babby first redpill' replies are those who cant face it and probably have a room full of anime, toy figurines and 'book stacks' they pretend they have read.

>>13548906
How long has it been since you broke up?

>>13548912
EVen when I bought a board game I really wanted I felt sad after. This year I’m buying nothing but books.

There is zero wrong with consumerism.

Get lost, shekelberg. This is a jew free zone.

Go back to your containment board

Implying there aren’t just as many non-jewish liberal capitalists. Your little joke isn’t welcome

>>13548976
Fuck off cunt before I rape you

>>13548959
It'll fade. It was a good springboard for motivation. But trust me it'll fade. You'll see her less in your dreams.
