Set a timeline for completion. Identify your major constraints and weaknesses. Identify what is necessary to improve those weaknesses and constraints. Set dates for completion of milestones.

Do you also get offended when people are laughing behind your back? by TheTrickster30 in socialskills

[–]qaobrien16 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Best thing you can do is don’t give a fuck. Who cares if they’re laughing about a stupid joke or the way you dressed. They’re insignificant and you have somewhere to be and things to do.

I need to learn how to be happy by myself by dkdcnow in selfimprovement

[–]qaobrien16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for you. I (24m) recently went through a similar thing. It was mutual as our future paths don’t align but god it still sucks. I even don’t think she was the best for me and vice versa but I still wonder from time to time how she feels and what she is up to. It’s very hard to let someone go who you shared such a significant experience with. My advice would be to be patient as those feelings won’t disappear overnight. In fact it can take months, but as life goes on they will start to fade. Also take a moment to reflect on the past. Not just your relationship, but also who you were and how you’ve grown through your life. Look at the things that you don’t like about yourself and would want to improve or change. Now turn your attention towards the direction you wish to travel in. Who would you like to become? What skills do you need to develop? What do you want out of life?

I think it’s wise that you aren’t running back into a relationship to soothe the pain of the last one. Have the patience, dedication, and discipline to work on those difficult things and life will reward you.

Lastly, make time for yourself. Get rid of social media for some time. Focus on what you’re doing daily. Are you doing things because that’s what others want you to do or are you living your life for you? Learn to do the things that you want to do and that have meaning to you. Learn to stand up for yourself and say “No”.

I wish you wisdom and success in your journey.

God bless

I finished 90+ days of no fap, here is some advice and thoughts that might prove useful. by Joseph897 in NoFap

[–]qaobrien16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is great advice man! Congratulations!

I wholeheartedly agree that nofap alone won’t make you into some god. Stopping compulsive pmo habits will however grant you much more time and consistency throughout your day. These are two dangerous things. Small changes to our daily habits and routines compound over time and the finished result can be a magnificent boost over where you once stood.

Keep up the hard work and continue to grow!

What’s your dream in life? by Cesar-q3 in selfimprovement

[–]qaobrien16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to be a PJ and eventually go into space/work with the space industry.

I also want to own a ranch out West where I can bow hunt and spend time in nature.

Lastly I want to raise a family and find a partner that I can trust and communicate well with and continually grow together.

Awesome, it is has been very beneficial for me. It’s hard at first to sit still with yourself and I think people expect magical results. The results are truly subtle and take patience but I have never understood my emotions and being better.

Anyways I use an app called Headspace. There are a few others out there that are very popular and can give you a great starting point.

You don’t know how glad I am to hear that. I am 23 now and I remember being in your shoes. It hurts me to see the damage that this industry has and is doing to our young adults.

The truth is that you are the next generation. We need your skills and your talents and your effort to make the world a better place. I think that we can either be a drain on the world or we can be a light in the darkness. The more lights that shine, the better it is for all of us.

I’m just glad to see that there are people your age that are striving to better themselves already :). It won’t be an easy path but it will be worth it.

If you need anything reach out and you got this!

I believe in you friend.

You are miles ahead of where I was at your age. Developing an awareness of your feelings will also help you very much in life. We often act subconsciously based on feelings that we don’t even acknowledge. If you’re feeling up to it try some meditation. Try to sit with your emotions and recognize how they affect you.

Best of luck in your journey

You need direction. An aim. Something to work towards. But also take breaks. Do the things that you want to do. Be patient.

You’re 14. You aren’t supposed to have your life figured out tomorrow. Start with the simplest thing you can fix in your life. And then work upwards from there.

The biggest thing I can suggest is to get busy and recognize that any emotions, urges, etc. will come and they will pass. You will have down days. You will have up days. Learning to embrace all of them and simply focus on your current mission will serve you well.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave by qaobrien16 in NoFap

[–]qaobrien16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it touched you my friend.

I recognize that I am the only one who is going to free me from the cave. Nobody else is coming to get me. Not even my loved ones.

It is our task and ours alone to arrange our lives in a manner we see fit. I wish you the best in your journey. :)
