I found the answer
| I still think having a good why to life is the optimal strat.
| I will not, under any cirumstance, control myself.
| self control is mad overrated. that's how they get you to maximize your labor value.
| i have realized that masturbation is essential. no need to get embarassed. just do not let it consume your "productive" side of life.
| >>840157 employers benefit when people want to have self controlled and be disciplined simply for the sake of being that way. it's another excuse for people to feel morally superior about being on the grind, working long days, and competing with each other for jobs. when your laborers feel supererior for having the discipline to put up with abuse or to upskill themselves endlessly, it's easy to get more labor for less money.
| before the industrial revolution, people were a lot freer to choose their own schedules and not plan their days in advance. I'd be more productive and happy working like that, and I doubt that's uncommon. but it's way better for employers to have people work a standardized, scheduled day. so to get everybody on schedule, what do you do? say "you lot aren't rich cause you aren't DISCIPLINED like I am!" and the people who believe you will start tryharding for you.
| now you have shit like the people who write "inspirational" stuff on linkedin that's just more propaganda. now we have Grindsets and Girlbosses and High Net Worth Individuals. and they all tout self control and unrelenting focus among their many virtues that we could NEVER parallel.
| but also self control itself isn't bad. I think the problem is only when you start chasing stuff like that. when you do, you start seeing times where you fit the system well as success, even if that's not good for you or allows you to be exploited. if you say you like self control because you managed to quit smoking or something then congratulations ig.
| >>840246 wow this is a really good perspective. thank you i havent thought of self control in that angle. although yes, i am implying self control in a more personal level like the one in smoking.
I have realized that I cannot possibly quit masturbating. Before, I treated it as an addiction that I should leave behind but now with proper self-control, I can be both productive AND masturbating. fun times!
| >>840286 Indeed!
also also, food consumption. if i would just choose self-control over my urge to eat fatty foods, i wont be fat anymore!
| I don't have any control..
| I'll break your veranda and eat your ass
| "sewf controw iw impowtant i wead zat on top 5 tips ow wich peopwe owwoow"
while >>e86e00 have valid coverage on why should you not care for this particular instance of dumb shit, before you jump on to some other configuration of meaningless thought complexes i urge you to consider this red hot fucking take.
ready for it?
youre fine.
"oh but the success man said im so worthless im literally unable to breathe unless i meditate for 59 years and-"
shut the fuck up youre fine
| the world might tell you that "unless you master 25 languages, 73 different board games, talk to president, dance salsa and like skiing - you are absolutelty fucking NOT allowed to feel content, subhuman."
not true. crocodile dundee was fine, despite not knowing much about the world, why you aint?
why even excercise self control, for what particular end? heres a fun excersise for you, write down 5 lyf goals.
...
did that? now for each write 5 points that *ridicule* said goals.
| make them sound like something a dumb child would come up with. try that with other things you consider important.
and after you did that, you can consider how childish the whole of modern ""lyf success"" philosophy really is
| >>840343 >>840345 ouch. this was degradingly uplifting, thank you. thank you for telling me im fine as myself, seriously :)). im doing self-control for myself too tho!! i keep trying hard. like for example if i have self control over my food consumption, then i wont be fat. there's nothing wrong with being fat but if i keep doing that to myself, i would become obese and that'll become a problem.
| Most of us (i think) were conditioned, while growing up, to be someone who should become a "somebody" someday. for me, i chose the path to strive harder. it sounds corny and cliche but i seriously want to be a person in the future that'll become rich and can buy anything. i want to give back to my parents and let them experience the life they wanted. for some, it'll be a *puke* reason but at the present, this is how i think. all of youse are witnesses, okay?!?!
| Successful people maintain good self control. Losers don't.
Take your pick.
| starting today, i will have my proper self-control in eating and pleasuring myself. today is march 12, 2022 tuesday. if this thread is still alive, i would make this as my diary. you guys are witnesses okay?! if i ever started going sideways, i'll read this thread again.
| >you guys are witnesses okay?!
don't worry c/u/tie i'll always be watching you
| I'm watching.
| this day was so tiring. had a lot of work to do and in the following days too. professor just dumped every activity she *needed* to. she goes by the book so. i mean she couldve lessen those since sum were not necessary!
this day tho, i ate enough to burp?? in my eyes, it wasnt that much but it wasnt healthy too. i hate vegetables but what can i dooo?!?!
been having a lot of thoughts to masturbate the entire day but i dont have time since i still have work to do ughhh
| self-control for this day is achieved!
.
.
.
ig?
.
.
fuck it, i think i will watch porn for a bit before working again.
it should be fine right? right?!?!
| nevermind, i didnt. i just got up the bed and start doing one of my works again. feels good to not watch porn. its a nice feeling.
| >>840588 believe me i keep trying hard to swallow those vegetables, especially eggplants and okras, but they are too slimey or have a taste that i dont like. i dont like bityer stuff in my mouth. tho there are some that i can eat, cabbages, carrots, and potatoes and the leaf ones!
and thank youuu! Its midnight here, Im thinking of pleasuring myself again but I have too many to do later so imma get some sleep ig. hard times
| op im preparing for my finals right now and haven't had time to masturbate much either. but when I did finally have time last night I came six times in 2.5 hours. you will soon be rewarded for your hard work too.

a disciplined person is the one who doesnt waste his energy on ""maintaining"" a fucking warzone inside his headspace, who then, *naturally*, does shit that makes sense. its all completely ass fucking backwards, the entire entirety of the socially masochistic minmaxed meta life pro gamer strats. literally, are you one o' these sweaty maxed runescape players? why try to be one, so someone wouldnt call you a loser? get an *actual* life
| >>840358 >>840360 had us in the first half, to then just fuckin cowabunga from a space sattelite into a pool of regurgitated dumb shit. *why* have habit of overeating? *why* touch the peni? *why* broadcast your unachievements to the auditory of local degenerates? *why* are children taught early to stop asking the "why" questions?
because the following answer to the long string/tree/infinite fucking fractal of existential questions is an encounter with the, lets call it "core".
| to avoid the encounter with it is the sole purpose of these mental mechanisms, various social contracts you didnt know you signed up for. actually, you know, its just that alot of shit in our heads, the worldviews, the hows, the justs, the prides, the shames - covers up the memory of ticking the checkboxes on terms of service of your tribes membership subscription. imagine a world where there is not a single person to call you an idiot, tell you how to ""do things right"".
| what would you be doing? quivering over the mere thought of having your BMI reach a certain numerical threshold, moving your particular data point on diabetes risk statistical chart to some other particular location? beating yourself over the head with a plank, nails all over the floor, hammer up the arse - weeping oh why havent your furniture venture yet to put IKEA out of competition? maintaining a grip on the idea that masturbation is illegal as firm as the one on your penis?
| in all probability - probably not. you would live a life devoid of many delusions modern man is plagued with. youd eat when you need, youd hammer the nails into a plank, youd jerk when you want. oh if only fight club was a documentary.
...
now onto something completely different, wanna be a facking god?
| me too, so does everyone. but not why you would think. every living soul, once was immaterial, immortal, and unimpeded. nirvana they call it. imagine the shock it felt when it got caged in the body of meat, shit and hormonal fucking concoction, put into a world of arbitrary values, pitted against equally confused human larvae. thats the birth trauma, and its the lingering memory of angelic life once was that makes us chase the health, power, art and all that.
| but it wont come back, deal with it
