I fell into the trap of Learned Helplessness in my late teens.

I've been analyzing why I got this helpless, hopeless attitude in life. And I realized it's mostly because of my parents.I fell into the trap of Learned Helplessness in my late teens.
I am still trying to crawl out of it
So you're constantly grasping for solace/redemption, yet it always slips through your hands?
At least you know it's possible. It may be possible to accept your situation and move on. Well that sounds like something a psych would say anyway,
rant:
I can't fucking move on from being so behind and different from my peers, every girl, even the nerdy loser girls I meet are fucking and partying.
I don't want to have meaningless sex, I just want a LTR, but every women is a worthless whore. Impossible to LTR them, so the only option I'm left with is meaningless sex, but it barely motivates me... Even when I was a literal redditor I was also viscerally disgusted by promiscuity...
rant end
But, I've kind of let go of my resentment towards others, I used to hate normies, like could watch them die and feel nothing, and now I can almost, almost, feel happiness when I see others happy. It came from processing all my emotions behind being an abused dog, lots of crying, lots of extreme anger, over 1,5 years. But it's possible.
Well, as demonstrated in the video it's a positive feedback loop, if you lose once you lose more later, etc.
I relate to you on this, but I don't think it's easily changeable unless you change your whole self-perception and identity.
fuark man insights like this is why I post here instead of just in my journal.
Your theory and example are brutally on point. And honestly, what has helped me the most mentally is rediscovering my own intrinsic goals and motivations. It helps disconnect you from the brutal quantitative comparisons you can make to others.
Qualitative comparisons you can, if you're diligent enough, always show that they're useless and not that telling, but it's much harder with the ideals the blackpill preaches.
I also think your example is another example of how Buddhistic/cognitive psychology ideals of just accepting your past and present can be useful, if you thought, fuck yeah I'm fucking a stacylite, ergo I'm a fucking unkillable god you'd be in a much better position now.
aHH man, always read your name as Newone, like Ne-wone, never made the connection to New-One lmao
You're the prettyboy that destroyed MakinItHappen right lol?
Tbh. I realised that like I gave up on trying.I fell into the trap of Learned Helplessness in my late teens.

the 165cm gook from england be likeThe fate of looksmaxxers son that have to do 10 different sports despite being a genetic dead end cause some retard on a autistic forum claimed it raises testosterone and HGH, by 0.5%
theyd need someone to tell them to be bigger and better..Good luck being a winner when you get abused at school then come home and get abused by parents and then cry yourself to sleep
thats me..KHHV McDonalds wagie that kills himself at 30
Saw this video from a STEMcel, (great video btw)
When you lose your brain literally makes you act like a cuck, so if you have had a shitty childhood you NEED to win in your early adulthood to not have it shape the rest of your life.
Otherwise, you'll end up a KHHV McDonalds wagie that kills himself at 30

This is why steroids are based, despite the health risks, the health risks of your physiology thinking you're a loser are much worse than dying a year or two earlier.
And anything that influences neuroplasticity like psychedelics, also massively based, you need to rewire your brain.
I'm trying to get Buproprion (Wellbutrin) from my doctor to and I'm trying to convince a psychiatrist I have ADHD so I can get DNRI's/Stimulants.
I'll start SNRI's to see if I notice any benefits,
You should use everything to modulate your brain out of the hole it's dug itself into. Stimulants and psychedelics are particularly suited to this, psychedelics to rewire, stimulants to get the courage/motivation to make change.
MMA is probably a good thing to start too, despite the fact that you'll lose a lot in the start you should notice yourself getting stronger and stronger, and the average MMA club is filled with genetic rejects, the last club I trained at the average man was a 175cm curry.
(Let me preface this novel of a reply by saying I won't proof read shit, I could've written it more concisely but holy shit this took more than an hour.)Very relatable. My parental/environmental situation was probably bottom 10% in the Netherlands. I have never got close to someone yet IRL who shared having an equally bad or worse childhood as I have had. But I think this is also largely because I got forced to study hard, ended up in highIQ academic social circles, which largely only have privileged+wealthy people in it.
Then I found this shithole and I could relate so much with all of the negativity, all the pain. Much more so than all of the social contact I've had IRL where I can't relate to these privileged fucks.
Also JFL @ the posting on here while being on the bus to a date.
I remember sitting in bed, on my phone, making posts on this forum. While I had the naked stacylite girlfriend sleeping in bed next to me, cuddled up to me.
so mentally ill. And I can't fucking seem to do anything about it.
Yeah, I have the same experience, I act too submissive IRL, been conditioned to always fear retribution from normies. I trained MMA for a while, and it felt so good to just not give a shit about people for a while. (I wasn't in the best mental state here tho tbh... didnt give a shit about anything)I hate to admit it, but I feel, think and act like a submissive cuck IRL.
It's often only my low-trust facial appearance + above average size (brutal looks-pill) that make people automatically respect my presence and autonomy. I notice it a lot with people when they act more submissive to me than I would've expected them to. But it's based on my brain still believing I look as subhuman as I did in my childhood.
Sometimes people walk all over me and my mode of defence in those situations is to 'care as little as possible about life so it can't hurt you'. I pretend to not care about them disrespecting me. And that's basically extreme submission from my part.
I find, and this perhaps the second most important self-discovery I've made after self-empathy that whenever I am being mistreated, losing, or feeling inferior I become apathetic to everything, everything in my life loses meaning, it becomes impossible to connect with my intrinsic goals and self-compassion. It's like the thread to all my motivations and goals is severed.Sometimes people walk all over me and my mode of defence in those situations is to 'care as little as possible about life so it can't hurt you'. I pretend to not care about them disrespecting me. And that's basically extreme submission from my part.
I did similar things in middle school, I haven't been taunted physically since, idk how I'd react now. I'd probably get real mad before it got to that now tho.Only at some point when they really get out of line, something primal triggers in me and I can get really confrontational and violent.
For example if the abuse becomes physical instead of just words/gestures, I can't handle that and I get violent.
I've had this one time when some guy stole a piece of clothing from me while I was wearing it at a dress-up party and taunted me with it afterwards. I went full berserk on this motherfucker and got kicked out of the party for it.
But it usually doesn't get that far. Usually I take all the abuse, the words, the gestures, take it all like a submissive cuck, pretending not to care.
So you feel you need to equalise the suffering with pleasure to make it worth it?I constantly believe that I need to compensate for my past.
To compensate for my past incel subhuman life, I need to become a chad slayer now and in the future.
And that basically sets me up for failure 100%. But I am unable to accept a 'normal' life. As I feel it would 'invalidate' all the suffering I have experienced in my past.
I share the same feelings, being a gymnasie dropout (late highschool-early college analogue), a virgin at 20, small social circle, no money, no achievements etc.Same here. I feel behind in every single way possible to my peers. And that doesn't help when I am trying to turn my life around, starting from a position where you are mogged by everyone around you.
Yeah, women hate men who are behind status/social-wise. The difference in treatment I get between a 17yo skinny jb and a fat 21 year old from a class we've done together for 3 years is massive. One treats me with respect and affection, and the other thinks herself better than me and makes sure I know it. As you've probably guessed the one that has known me the longest treats me the worst.Especially with women I notice how much this is a problem. Women have 0 RESPECT for guys that don't do well in life. They basically DEMAND you to do well in life, before they will socialize/interact with you.
With guys, I feel like my self-deprecating humor, my low social-status behavior, makes me more likeable. Guys seem to like my vibe, like my, what's basically a 'submissive attitude', and like to socialize with me. In stark contrast with women. But that also makes me not vibe with them at the same time because I don't like the vibe.
Brutal TIMEpill, I'm starting my last year in gymnasiet again this summer, last time in my life I'll be close to JB's. It's over man. I can't get my life in order in 6 months. It's over.I don't care about ONS either, but I find it impossible to form a healthy LTR. Partly because I have mental issues, partly because dating and getting to know young women you find attractive that find you attractive is hardcore difficult.
About normies, I've found myself to become increasingly indifferent to them, their opinions, their lives, everything. It means nothing to me anymore and it makes it difficult for me to socialize. Like when someone is telling me about themselves, I find myself just not caring AT ALL.
Increasingly at the parties/raves/social stuff I am doing, I hardly truly socialize anymore. Mostly just going through the gestures and behavior to seem 'normal' but not really caring.
Hmm, interesting. I've found the same, I care less and less about the trivialities of getting to know people, I only really bother if I actually find a person interesting, such as the massive time this reply is taking lol...About normies, I've found myself to become increasingly indifferent to them, their opinions, their lives, everything.

I struggle with this every day.I find this almost impossible to do personally.
Whenever I think of 'improving my life' getting myself back together. I start getting goals like:
I need to study harder, I need to get a better job, I need to become wealthy and powerful, I need to workout more and be more lean, I need to be better-looking and get surgeries, I need to be more extroverted, I need to fuck better-looking women, I need to get better social-status.
Those are the only things I can really come up with. Which all just feels like this shallow uninteresting bullshit to me personally most of the time.
I miss having these passionate personal ambitions. Like wanting be an astronaut, having this hobby you really like, having this country/place you really want to visit, having this specific vision of something you can really see yourself doing/living.
I used to have visions, ideals of what my life should look like. That had nothing to do with social-status, wealth, popularity, as a kid. But I can't find those visions anymore. I somehow can't find my younger self anymore. I am stuck in these superficial garbage trash ideals of wanting to become a 'wealthy, popular, powerful, good-looking guy' and nothing more.
And it feels so plain and un-motivational, like it's been externally imposed on me to want this instead of intrinsically.
I stumbled upon some incel type stuff at 13 so its not like I had much of a choice I was bound to end up here maybe it was destiny but I am finally using the advice here to better my life. In 3 months I have made more progress then the last 3 years combined
It's actually insane how mentally destroying this forum is, when all you need to do is just softmaxx and plan for hardmaxxes.Yh same for me
This forum has a few good points but most of it is bs
I'll take my chances, you don't need to take them permanently, just until your mind sees you as a winner.I agree with everything you said here but don't fuck with SNRI class drugs (Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) I just know artificially fucking with serotonin always ends badly I've been addicted to adderall before but I've seen people who suck with anti depressants who are still effected years later. Its just much more dangerous to fuck with serotonin I've yet to see a case where anti depressants (basically drugs that increase serotine thereby decreasing depression and anxiety) long term worked they fucked up my ex gf for sure.
These drugs won't work forever maybe take them if your going to kys anyways. But when you invertible stop them you will have fucked up problems for years. Dopamine related drugs you can recover 90% within a month assuming you weren't abusing meth. Also don't take other anti anxiety meds like Benzos or Xanax. Jordan Peterson is still mentally fucked years later. Those class of drugs (alcohol is also in the class) are some of the only drugs where withdrawals actually can kill you. Anti depressants turn you into a walking zombie most people on them get fat low libido these drugs have a terrifying effect on not only the mind but the body.
But I relate to the thread before you rope try Geomaxxing and try maximizing your life 25 is probably where it gets hard to fundamentally change your life I got 4 years left and its terrifying. You can change at any age I believe god gives us the free will to change whenever we want. But our life choices compound and solidify more as we age while you still can change it becomes harder and harder with age.
idk man, I got mine in Amsterdam last time.Unrelated question but where do you get shrooms?
This is great wisdom, but don't forget that it's good to also feel the sorrow and pain from the things you don't have, you can't just repress your emotions.>Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I always repeat this in my head. Looksmaxing on its face is fundamentally benevolent but fixating on things you cannot fix all day like height or your eye color is bad. Especially when you have not done all you can. Even if you were a truecel this would be bad you should find something better to do with your time then beating yourself up.

Yeah, another good description for this.I fell into the trap of Learned Helplessness in my late teens.
I am still trying to crawl out of it
I've found that often times when I feel apathy or like having given up it's a shitload of negative emotion I've tried to repress.Tbh. I realised that like I gave up on trying.
It takes time broI am too filled with self-loathing. I find it impossible to come to terms with myself.
My hope is to justify the use of extreme measures to "ascend".This thread may have potentially saved me
So thank you
Average reaction to being too scared to take extreme measures in extreme situations...absolute stupidity, op jump off the roof. 120 iq degenerate
What is your plan so far bro?holed based. I'm trynna do the same
you're crazy, take the white pill. Although it's better to jump off the roofAverage reaction to being too scared to take extreme measures in extreme situations...
my plan is tbh the same, convincing the therapist that i have serious problems which i think i do. so they give me heavy drugs and make me brain numb. then i might succeed in lifeView attachment 2476291
Has to show off mongol FWHR properly
Yeah, another good description for this.
It's very hard to get out of, you get so used to nothing you do changing the outcome that you just stop trying.
My mother never gave praise for anything, so at ~12 I just stopped doing anything at home because I only ever got negative comments, then she started yelling at me for not doing anything, impossible to win in that situation, but I think I've carried the mindset with me.

What measures are you going to take that will save you?
Short-term, I'll try to acquire shrooms again asap, they helped so much even once at a low dosage, I need to break my mind with them, much interesting research about them.

It hit's so brutally.
wdym take the white pill? Give up?you're crazy, take the white pill. Although it's better to jump off the roof
Yeah honestly man, at some point you have to realise that when you've gotten to the point where you want to convince a therapist/psychologist that you have serious problems to get pills, that perhaps you actually have serious problems and you're just advocating for yourself.my plan is tbh the same, convincing the therapist that i have serious problems which i think i do. so they give me heavy drugs and make me brain numb. then i might succeed in life
It's not that, it's the cunt therapist who give weak ass prescription that does nothing to my already toxic tolerated drug user life style body.It hit's so brutally.

The light hitting him in the eyes, as he wakes up and realises that it's another brutal day, that his life didn't pan out like he thought it would, the sadness in this face, the dark little room thats probably his apartment. Fuck man, poignant.

Of course. Im glad other people are realising the link between ugliness and deadened personality.It's probably also why ugly guys have such beta and simp personalities.
This video reminded me of this thread
Yeah bro, I really think it will stay with us for the rest of our lives, unless we drastically try to alter our lives now.Great thread bro. You and MoggerGaston make solid and relatable af posts. I can’t help but think my experiences in my teens and now early 20s will stay with me for the rest of my life. No matter if things could get better eventually, the fact that I was incel, friendless, bitchless all those years rotting while my peers ostracized, bullied and then abandoned me and formed formative experiences, I think it has traumatized me because I think about it so much.
This video reminded me of this thread
@SurgeryEnjoyerUnrelated question but where do you get shrooms?
A lot of losers still have friends, a social circle, decent parents etc.What explains how a lot of "losers" are actually decently happy and a lot of rich workeholes are suicidal depressed
Regrettably, I cannot express the same sentiment.spent the last 2 years fixing it and getting back to baseline
