You're stuck in a childish state due to social rejection. And you will remain there since people can tell from your behavior, body language, lack of social media, and how you don't brag about all the cool shit you're doing when at work, in class, or wherever else. "Humble bragging" is how people status signal, and it's absolutely important to do so

One thing at a time. Establish routine. You’ll get a little dopamine hit once you start your day with little wins like making your bed and brushing your teeth.

Make some oats with maple syrup. Easy, mostly healthy, and now you’re well-fed. Starting creating larger goals and break those down to smaller-component goals.

Tell your family and friends about it. It’s not to brag or self-aggrandize but to hold yourself accountable.

Start developing self-respect. Be proud when you succeed, understanding when you fall short.

Leave this site, stop browsing the internet. This thread is a mirror of what's wrong with you: the only actions you will take are the ones that are easy, quick, and will probably pay off in some good self pat on the back or some kind of social validation (like telling everyone you know you started X instead of actually quietly doing it).
Establish a routine, stick to it. Motivation is good, but you need discipline. You need to find the strength to be consistant. Be consistant at what you wish to do, the rest will follow.

This is missing the heart of the matter by a mile. Having decent-to-good social links really doesn't change the situation at all. I naturally developed an instinct at hiding the reality that is the emptiness and impotence i've been living in for the past 5 years, with a whole lot of luck, to where 98% of people do believe i am doing well for myself, checking all the boxes that you have mentioned for ''status'' points, and it still hasn't done jack shit. I don't get excluded from events nor going through the expect air of awkwardness when meeting people, whether old friends or recent acquaintances, and they even perceive me as somewhat cool, as lame as that phrase sounds. Knowing how to dodge possibly compromising questions with some wit and a laff helps a lot. I feel awful for deceiving people, yet that has settled into my natural state of navigating the world, just like most artists and covert junkies do.
But the ultimate point is: It hasn't changed the real stagnation, it hasn't cleared the rubbles away from the day to day existence, because the issue doesn't exactly lie within the social acceptance/rejection. It was never about them, and always about YOU. It's an inner problem. Engage with your own self, and learn to respect it like the poster above said.

I realized this and this is why is stopped talking to others and withdrew from everyone after graduating college until i got a job, which took longer to get than I'd think. Even then I'm still unable to live this life I need to in order to converse with others.
there's nothing more important for your value than status signaling, and the only way to do that is to have a lot of stuff going on to talk (humble brag) about.

It'd be even better if you could just straight up lie, but it's hard for me. It's hard enough for me to talk about it even when I am doing it, though considerably less so. If you're talking to others and you're not mentioning friends you hung out with or places you visited or crazy stuff you do or anything that could make someone else envious, you might as well not be talking at all. Only after you've established yourself as a person with high value through that social signaling will people being to value you as a person, let alone anything else you say.

That said I don't think any of this has to do with the OP image, I'm not sure why it was brought up. I can't see the connection between YOU being inactive and other people's opinion of you. I mean, even if you're stuck in a childish state due to social rejection, being in a childish state shouldn't stop you from doing things. Children aren't beings of inaction.

His point is that people do not fundamentally possess the same beliefs, desires, ambitions, moral sense, ability to think abstractly and plan ahead, etc etc. You only "fail" relative to other people of the same potential and goals. If you are status mismatched, unless you bend over backwards you are much less likely to fit in with working class normies than you would if you were as educated, well off, or lucky as other fundamentally similar people.

The original image represents depressive thought patterns. The only way to get out of depression is to change things. Sometimes that takes small habits, sometimes that takes big moves and shifts in outlook. But you have to figure out what makes you happy and pursue it. Everything else will fall in line. Nothing makes you happy? You're depressed, get out of depression (I know it's not that easy). Don't know what you want to do? Try doing something, anything. See how you feel about it. As you move from school to a job the social fabric of your life changes. Welcome to being an adult. Figure it out. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Bro grow some balls and cut out the central cancer of your life, which is the entertainment center for invalids that you have grown around. Life is never going to become about you creating an adventure as long as you return to the screen. The creative state is something that must be actively nurtured the entire day. It is something continuous that swallows you up. It is not possible for this to arise as long as you go to your screen and nuke it and descend to the level of a mere consumer. Just the context switching in itself keeps you from achieving the necessary depth of immersiob. There is no gradual approach. You either leave completely, and only let yourself use pc and phone as pure tools after a month or more of absence, and you never again use it as a place to live, OR you embrace that it will always be your home, and the life that wants to sprout in you will never see the light of day

>haunted by vague dusty delusions of megalomania
i especially feel that one, I wouldn't call it megalomania, but I thought I had the world as my oyster a couple years ago, I could accurately tell you my plan and idea of how i would become a very socially successful and connected person with lots of hobbies and interests and money.
The only reason I remember any of it is because I try to make it a point to not forget just in case someone asks me what my goals were, or in case i somehow end up back on a path that will ("will", there i go again) allow me to fufill them (i win the crypto lottery or something)

But now I could hardly envision a future like that like I used to, I just think about the past and where everything went wrong and more often now, that it would have gone wrong no matter what I did.

Being a man of action is overrated if it's action for the sake of action. Not all activity is productivity. Being an alcoholic is a man of action, it's a bad habit though with bad consequences. It causes a lot of (destructive activity). Being a 'man of action' is a stupid proposition unless you specify what those actions are and what the (positive) consequences will be.
Think of that friend you keep saying "hey we should totally catch up", and finally you do, yes it's fun. And you both agree to catch up again. But it's another 3 months before you do. Guess what, you took action and NOTHING HAPPENED. you haven't established a habit of regularly meeting this friend, and the amount of time and effort you spent getting this one meeting together isn't going to somehow make it easier to socialize with other friends.
It was activity but it wasn't productive because not all activity is productivity.

It's not that simple, it took me a long time to realize I am a dysfunctional faggot because my parents made me that way. It never even occurred to me that my mother's neurotic and controlling behavior was deeply abnormal until I was in college and I didn't grasp the totality of what normal development I was denied because of her keeping me inside and away from others all of my life. I could write an entire psychology manual on my demented upbringing.

I have a very vivid memory of my first job which I 'got' almost accidentally, spontaneously, on the spot after observing a flier outside of a store, no-one else was involved and by the time my parents knew I was hired. The first lunch break on the day after I was paid I had this deeply visceral realization sitting on the basement steps and in-between mouthfuls of egg sandwich...I was completely free in a wide world. I could go toss my sandwich and go anywhere for lunch, I could buy something without anyone's approval - pizza, cake, porn or Pokemon cards, I could murder my coworkers, I could kill myself, I could visit the shore watch the sunset and never go home again, I could run away to the border, I could return to my dismal routine. The the giddiness and horror of that moment left an impression that lingers with me still. In the end I quit that job for reasons I still don't quite know and have never had one since.

I am maladjusted.

shame you deleted that post

either way have you ever had experiences where if you abandon for a moment the endless torment of thought and feeling you can act spontaneously without even thinking about acting?

Well that happens normally when your own thinking and feeling is not supporting your own neurosis.

this spontaneous action would become a norm of an island because your have no time to focus on self flagellation, now would it fix your underlying problems if you were latter returned to normal conditions? No, but it would atrophy them.

Actually people dislike JBP becuase he talks about stuff he is not qualified to discuss. Look up his debate on Marxism with an actual Marxist scholar and you will quickly see he has 0 idea what he's talking about and gets intellectually trampled by someone who does. He's a Psychologist who strayed too far into Philosophy and vaguely political sentiments while not having the credentials or knowledge to back it up.

He gives very basic life/self-help advice and then that guides people into a rabbithole of "female is chaos, man is order!" pseudoscience BS. I will never forget the palpable irony when I learned that the man who told college students to, paraphrasing, 'get their life in order before trying to fix the world' was also a man who got addicted to benzos. Then he came out with another book telling people how to live their life.

>NEET romanticism that's prevalent across this site

This is somewhat warranted though. The times we live in offer an unprecedented situation, where 'living well' by modern standards means wasting tons of resources mostly to impress people, while otherwise avoiding this allows for a lifestyle still comparatively better than what would be possible otherwise in any other time. It's honestly irresponsible in many ways to not be as close 'effectively NEET' as possible. Granted, this would mean things like choosing to study what you want if you wish to do so, as opposed to paying to go to a physical university, so I wouldn't mean to actually avoid work or study utterly, just those things that chain to to being committed to wasting resources and constraining your freedom.

What happened to talking about things he is qualified to talk about, funny how he isn't allowed to talk about things like philosophy because he doesn't have the qualification, but then you disregard his qualification in Psychology. That isn't pseudoscientific nonsense and I don't even think he makes that claim in terms of science but in terms of mythology. As for Benzos addiction, he got addicted to a drug he was prescribed by taking the amount he was prescribed, how would you like it if someone made fun of you the day you get addicted to painkillers because you were given opiates at a hospital? Also, wouldn't it be the opposite of hypocrisy if he did recover from his drug addiction and in fact, makes him a good person to defer to for advice when it comes to addiction?

this is a dangerous mindset. these 'unprecedented' times have made it easier than ever to become the underground man (encouragement of social isolation, government pensions, normalisation of paranoia). don't fall into the pit.
you need to remove ideas from your head of 'living well by modern standards'. even if 'modern standards' exist (i contest this but don't have time), you certainly don't have to adhere to them. don't use the avoidance of consumerism as a scapegoat for NEEThood.

the eco-Kantian mindset where one is hypercritical of their own consumption/environment impact is a waste of time. it's noble but there are simply too many externalities for it to be worth causing anxiety in any individual. if you really cared about resource waste, you'd be mailing out strongly worded letters a la uncle Ted.

How about instead of "normalcy," we say "social ataraxia," then. I just want to not feel this - this pervasive feeling of wrongness, incompatibility, rejection from a world that I can't even begin to comprehend. Despite trite platitudes like what youve said, even with all the trappings of a "normal" western male, it all seems absolutely meaningless. What I've made of it is a salaried job I hate filled with petulant, cynical backbiters, a house that I never really wanted, a slothful and slovenly wife that I loathe, among others. I've checked the boxes, I've done what is "expected" from someone my age in our society, but it all feels utterly hollow. Metaphorically, it's the opposite of a cancer; I perform just like the other cells, but the immune system knows I don't belong, that I'm an invader masquerading as a resident.

Getting yourself out of depression is a tough nut to crack as only you can really do it. Start small by setting yourself a daily task and build from there. This can be as small as walking 30 minutes outside or reading 10 pages in a book.

These two examples are particularly powerful since they reward you with visible gains. 30 minutes of walking is the recommended exercise minimum and 10 pages in a book will snowball into a book read, then two and so on. When you put back on your shelf, you'll feel a slight increase in your belief to get things done.

In addition: Getting a job, even a shitty one helps immensely because you have no time to dwell on negative self-talk.

Post-addendum: Speaking of that, look into meditation, you are already pretty good at inaction but your mind may be overactive (ruminating). That needs to stop to actually get things done. 20 minutes at the start of the day and at the end of the day is enough to relax yourself.

Remember Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.

This is true, its hard or even impossible for most people to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Guidance and resources are critical. Self esteem will be naturally low for someone who does not have anyone to lean on and lacks money and time to correct imperfections of his/her body and image, struggling to just make the ends meet. Most psychological problems stem from anxiety or fear for future and those are practically guaranteed when you are poor and lonely. Modern psychology and psychiatry would do better if it was coupled with a system of interest-free loans for the purchase of clothing, going to the club, treatment or minor plastic surgery. Alas its not possible in our system, where they exist to extract resources, not offer them to the patients.

I'm gonna let you lot in on a little secret. Terminal goals cannot be judged as better or worse than one another. There is literally nothing that says the normalfag lifestyle is the be all end all of existence. Being a couch potato who jacks off all day to anime is literally as valid of a goal.

Your success or failure can only be judged in relation to what your end goals are. So you can only be a failure if your idea of "making it" is the typical normalfag dream of the perfect waifu, white picket fence house in the suburbs and 2.5 children, with a managerial job that affords you a middle class lifestyle. And if that's the case then you are indeed stupid if all of your efforts aren't focused on achieving that. Things like playing videogames, browsing the internet, reading books, and jerking off aren't going to help you achieve that goal. My guess is that most typical incels actually have hedonism as their terminal goal but they fool themselves into thinking that they also want the normalfag life as a terminal goal despite those two goals being radically different and indeed possibly even mutually exclusive.

Long story short. Figure out what your goals really are.

I care way too much what people think. I am insecure and constantly reevaluate what I am doing. Either it is not good enough or I am overestimating my abilities or people would judge me for it so it never is good no matter what I do. And when I see people I feel like an idiot because they ask me about real life stuff, and I always get embarrassed because I have nothing to show for.

You dont do yoga and you probably never have, with the exception of you being a woman, a fag, or a queer straight man trying to bust some chops by being hip with the womins. No man does fuckjng yoga otherwise, why would I want to contort my body in wierd ways and stick my ass out? In my opinion yoga is just some perverted shit, like taking off your pants and pressing your balls against a wall, or doing pushups naked so your cock and balls press against the ground until you just say fuck and beat your dick.
Living well is just being content, seeing wjat you jave and where your going and being OK with it at any rate. The problem arises when you realise its not enough, never was, and probably never will be, thats when the panic and deppression sets in because you realise you fucked up and your running out of time.

It is not genetic superiority but compliance and conformity that advance your status in this society. In the sense that you may be a 7' tall giga Chad with a massive cock with Ubermensch tier confidence and a brain the size of a car, but if whenever you are required to do a thing to advance your status you say anything but "yes Sir, I'll do it", whenever you have a moral problem with it, or a principle, or dignity, any sort of integrity that forms an impediment to compliance and conformity, you'll be out nonetheless. And when you are out you will be seen as a loser and not as a sigma male chad or whatever. Conversely if you are a skinny homunculus with no chin but you are absolutely compliant with what society requires of you, doors will be open to you. This second statement may seem absurd but I am thoroughly convinced that all the "losers" are not held back by anything in particular except a degree of morality. If you have absolutely no morality and no integrity you can achieve success 100% of the time, so in a way it is true that you can just "work hard and get it", it's true, but it's not what people think because they have this romantic idea of "work" and "merit" as something that you achieve by somewhat noble means.

And I would also say that the main contribution of ugliness and other genetic problems is that people who have these handicaps fall for this trap and believe that things are unjust and unfair, and develop this hostility toward the mechanics of the world. Notice that all the people who are "losers" insist on this sense of injustice and unfairness, and it is exactly the struggle against these things that hold them back. If the loser said "the world is unfair? amazing, I'll make it unfair" and started acting like a complete psychopath, in compliance of course with the upper rungs of this system, he'd be rewarded handsomely. This first defeat through ugliness or other genetic handicaps creates this sense of justice in losers that places them in attrition against the world's ways. Someone who doesn't have handicaps when he's starting out making experiences in life will never understand that the world is unfair, he will not complain and he will comply eagerly. This is what creates success, it's not the good looks or the confidence, it's whether or not you are damaged by the realization that the world is unfair and stupid and you want to fight against unfairness and stupidity, while in order to be successful none of this matter but what matters is absolute compliance with the power system and complete lack of integrity.

sexual desire is the only thing that keeps me sane. it's bought me out of depression twice, first when i learned that i didn't have to be an incel forever, and second when i realised that almost all self-improvement is almost instantly, tangibly realisable and testable simply by talking to women : every pound of muscle i gained resulted in slightly less repulsed reactions by attractive women, every bit of social practice i had increased my realistic 'standards' and so on

i went from being an incel, to a smasher of 5s and then to a smasher of 8s

of course all this promiscuity is just a massive cope. i can get an 8 to fuck me, but i have not yet got an 8 to love me, let alone one who has an interesting personality in the slightest.

Sometimes I think 80% of people in history, according to one particular theory, do nothing with their lives and that could be me or you. The 20% can accomplish things because of the masses that facilitate them, objectively.
Worshipping successful people as though they're exceptional is a mistake, our societal valuing of individualism before collectivism makes us ridicule that support provided by the masses, which is needed to materialize many peoples goals and that 80% figure is subsequently rising.
