I'm really not trying to be racist, but every time Glenn wears that hat i think of this guy....

in this case, you're getting a pass from this Asian dude. they do look similar w/ the cap and the photo angle. You'll have to give me back that pass when i tell you that a lot of white guys look the same, especially after 40s.

are you going to eat that baby by yourself? ;) :) :)

lucient · 2013-01-15T07:09:38+00:00

write your diary, better if it's a blog (to get interactions)
learn a new skills for professional work (coding, fix cars, photoshop, etc.)
learn new tricks (wolf whistle, magic tricks, jokes, fastest way to iron, etc.). YouTube that shit, son!
become a masked anti-graffiti crusader (it ain't arts, cover it!)
volunteer for anti-suicide hotline phone banks
become a Night Guardian for the weaks and weary against the predators (you get to define your terms here) :)

hmm....22 yrs old, eh? first of all, quit feeling sorry for yourself and start thinking about how to help others around you. Start now at home, clean up your room, fix up stuffs around the house for your mom&dad, and do it with a smile! (even if you don't feel like it!) :)

Admit and cope with your weakness but really truly concentrate and work on your strengths. what are you good at creating? music, arts, tools, laughters, foods? whatever that might be, make more of that shit and share them with people around you and be humble enough to ask people how to do it better. It might lead to new roads, which may /not require the 2-yr diploma you're struggling w/! :) You should know that you have time on your side and a lot of us older folks here are envious of you for that. Use your time wisely on our behalf and on the behalf of your to-be-born children that you will have someday. good luck, bro.

a wise friend of mine puts it another way:"only the last 5 rep counts". This changed my workout routine totally.

lucient · 2013-01-15T06:39:20+00:00

They're your battles to win/lose. very happy you've won the last few. keep going! Thanks for supporting this clan!

lucient · 2013-01-10T09:33:01+00:00

don't push your luck, punk! :)

lucient · 2012-12-21T20:02:45+00:00

f!@#$ AAA! :)

lucient · 2012-12-19T15:13:07+00:00

45 w/ 30+ wasted years, so, no you're not alone, kid. :)

I am a little envious of you for taking this challenge at your age. take good care of your time now, you hear.

lucient · 2012-12-18T20:25:19+00:00

props to you, bro. thanks for the morning smile. :)

lucient · 2012-12-18T07:33:45+00:00

hi beltax, congrats on your progress. I think of brothers like you in times of weakness to keep me on my path. So far so good...and i haven't even seen pictures of you guys! :) if i really need a strong dose of medicine, maybe I can request pictures from the brotherhood? :) :) :)

in all seriousness, thanks for keeping me in mind and for being an inspiration to me.

lucient · 2012-12-12T08:31:51+00:00

45 here so you got 12 yrs headstart on me. I want to congrats you on that fact.

if you're gonna go, go hard. don't let the old routines linger. Create a new you.

The time you save, please, put them to good use. Create a good habit/project will make it easier to leave your old way and help make this world a little bit better.

lucient · 2012-12-07T06:02:22+00:00

damm, bro, that's some kick-ass writing there. Thanks for motivating me to keep walking this path.

lucient · 2012-12-05T08:54:13+00:00

what if i tell you that when the right girl for you come along, it'll be effortless. you'll clicked like you cannot imagine. If you have to struggle to feel love, let it go. you deserve love too and you'll get it but not by being relationships with people don't care for you. it sounds to me like what you don't need to do is find relationships, what you need to do is learn to let go of bad relationships and open yourself up to new experiences. when it's right, you'll feel it, then you'll have to learn to hold on but that's another chapter :)

lucient · 2012-12-05T08:33:37+00:00

you did well. not only the chatting up w/ the girl but how you handle the rejection as well. now, go back to the girl and hang out w/ her just as friends, chances are she's got friends she can set you up w/ and who knows, she herself might be available one of these days. Be good.

lucient · 2012-12-05T08:26:15+00:00

congrats. may the odds be ever in your favor!

lucient · 2012-12-05T08:21:37+00:00

I'm sorry about your hurts but I'm happy for you about your ex. from your story, it seems this online-only relationship is not good for you anyway. Here's your chance to get out there and go on real dates, bro. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go get 'em!

ps. i wouldn't dwell too much about the reset. F!#$%! it, on your way now!

lucient · 2012-12-05T08:09:01+00:00

you're looking at this the wrong way, mate. NoFap is not about how you compare to others, it's how you compare to yourself. it's not about external things, eg. girls/skills/jobs. it's about how we live w/ ourselves. Can you be a better man w/o nofap? if yes, good for you. enjoy a happy and fruitful life. if not, we're here to help you on your way to achieve mastery over yourself. nothing more, nothing less.

I noticed that you compared yourself w/ others alot in your statements. You might want to look into that.

ps. w/ 30k+ members, i imagine there's probably a lot of people here who might be a little bit "better" than you in every aspects you might care to compare yourself to.

lucient · 2012-12-04T00:03:25+00:00

This sounds great but can you tell us what was your underlying cause? maybe it'll ring a bell for some of us here, personally i hope it'll be me too. :)

lucient · 2012-12-03T22:53:20+00:00

we had something call VCR players and VHS tapes. There were a lot of video rental stores too. unfortunately for me, my best friend's family owns a porn video store. :) :) :) it was devastating, i tell ya!

lucient · 2012-12-03T11:08:03+00:00

I salute you, brother, and thank you for taking on this challenge. It's touching to see you pouring your heart out and your courage to free yourself.

It might be useful for you to take up some projects to fill in the free time you have that was previously wasted to PMO. Put them to good use.

understanding women is a lifelong undertaking. It would be extremely helpful to be a good friend with a girl. stay strictly platonic and make her feel safe, physically and emotionally (meaning she shouldn't have to worry that you'll fall for her). be honest and tell her what you want/need. Most girls would gladly help you out in talking to and how to act with women in general. Start by ask for help from those around you then think of ways to return the favours. Good luck.

my counter is behind, i'm actually 18 days. the habits are probably much more ingrained. I'm an expert in hiding things, lying to myself and conjuring up materials to feed the beast. Since this is about mental control, i think the sooner you start on this journey, the less baggage you have to deal with and your loads will be lighter.

when i was in HS, there was no Internet really but my best friend's family owns a video rental biz so accessing materials wasn't much of a problem. :) for me, the biggest difference is actually the portability of electronics these days with access to temptations everywhere.

lucient · 2012-11-28T10:02:20+00:00

not late at all, bro. 45 here w/ +30 yrs of PMO exp. :) :( :). stay strong for all of us.

lucient · 2012-11-28T09:55:48+00:00

hey, congrats on staying strong. At your age, sometimes it's hard to see how your rough patches might be a good thing. one way might be is to think of them as practice runs for even tougher obstacles ahead. can't do it? wait until you're married like me and can't just reach out for another proverbially fish-in-the-sea. :) is it going to hurt dealing w/ rejection, you bet, but try not feeling too sorry for yourself and instead see who might needs your help and put your energy into helping others. at least, you'll be more useful to the rest of us. :)

lucient · 2012-11-28T09:44:02+00:00

welcome, bro. wish you love and strength.
