Coffee helps a little but its not sustainable for me I think, though honestly I haven't tried going super hard with it. Most of the time it doesn't help anyway. I take modafinil occasionally on the weekends just so I don't lay in bed all day

What are your experiences with it? Have you noticed some side effect of consuming it for a while?

Nothing negative. When I was taking it every other day or 2-3 days in a row with breaks though I'd quickly build a tolerance.

For me, what worked was changing my motivator.
Formerly, I wanted to stop to fix my thinking and sexual inclinations and always failed after a while. But then I saw that what motivates me to quit is exercising my will - that alone. And guess what, I just ended cold turkey. Also stopped checking out girls so much in public because I don't think them exposing themselves so much all the time is right.
I can imagine moving to a muslim country. Anyway, this made me stop cold turkey and I know I'm not going back because my values are firm.

Are there any drugs that can help you concentrate and make you smarter? I am that anon that failed two tests in the first year of engineering. Quite pathetic, because I was allowed to search in internet the resources I need it, but still fail. Part of my failure was because I couldn't concentrate to study and some problems were quite ambiguous. My small brain couldn't comprehend them. I heard about drugs that might help me to increase my focus and intelligence.

Just stop being a faggot. You need to get rid of distractions (phone/computer/anything else) and put in the work.

If it is something you want to go for try a different approach. Not all teachers are actually good at teaching, plus most for profit schools get shit teachers.

I'm sorry that cunt put you on the spot like that, anon. Women have gone insane and when they're in positions of power, they go mad with exercising it.
I mean sure, there's the reproductive aspects of interaction which can cause anxiety but there are other reasons why it can be difficult.
It wasn't your fault. It's perfectly natural for a man to be nervous when a female in the current year+8 asks him something. They're a legally protected class and our social and business interactions are as insane as East Germany.
When a woman talks to you, it's basically like a commissar talking to you in the Soviet Union. One misstep and it could come with massive and serious consequences.

anon, they push air up or down so both, if it pushed it up, it would go down.

[Anonymous No.12248456]

You know...I kinda did fix many problems I have, or was on a good way. I got to socialize more, and managed to have sex (which I did not have for 7,8 by lack of will). I am not super smart, IQ for whatever it's worth is 127, had opportunities for good jobs with carriers, have friends.... But then I just realize at some point that I am doing it all for the sake of doing it. I don't see much more point in sex, then jacking off, or going out with friends, then reading a book etc
I did that several times in my life. Decide to fix stuff...and then, just give, as the only improvements are not what I want.
I quit job, avoid friends, ditch a girl and so on.
I know I it is wrong, but I just simple don't want anything. Or I can't find enjoyment in anything.
I don't even watch porn, or read book, or waste my time on these boards. I just simple waste my time, with whatever will occupy it for a while.
And most of time I hate myself for doing it, but can't go beyond the hate, and even when I did..like I said, I just give up.
My bath shower recently broke, and I don't care to fix it, or call somebody to do it. It's not laziness. I go to shop, and pass by a store that has everything, and I just think to myself "whatever", and then bath with a bowl.
Well this went on too much. Fuck you all, we're all fags.

its called depression

[Anonymous No.12248507]

>>12248460
I think the same. But again, don't see the point in trying to fix it. I'm not suicidal, I can function in society, and survive..I just don't care. And I think I am OK with it, as I don't even know the reason for depression. Like I said, I managed few times to fix myself, but never that feeling of not caring. Just manged to pretend long enough for some changed, in hope that changes themselves will fix it, but they don't.
So I give up. And don't see the reason why should anyone reading this worry about being brainlet. If you're OK with whatever your life is at now, why would you change anything? browse porn, play games, read books, sleep and waste life.

You have to be motivated. I was motivated by disgust at looking in the mirror.
1. Get a food scale
2. Get an app such as MyFitnessPal, which makes counting a lot easier. Also tracks nutrients, which is useful in general.
3. Keep track of your weight so you can chart your ups and downs.

Eat lots of vegetables, drink water, lift weights / do cardio, sleep at a regular time for 7-8 hours. This will give you natural energy over time. A workout regime will also improve your discipline and focus.

Don't worry about not being able to fully commit at first. Gradually work your way up, reinforcing good habits until they become second nature.

I've done this for a while, but you can't expect people to keep this up for a long time? What happens when you're bored and understimulated? Maybe even obsessed with those "good habits" and physical fitness, feeling anxious and forcing yourself to keep up with it, not letting yourself relax and stop for a drink or a smoke even once..
