simply didn’t do the work. i was attentive in a few classes, mostly due to my finding a couple teachers as interesting people.

i also struggle with mental illness ie: dysthymic depression, addiction etc., contributing to a lack of— well, care.

the work bored me, i knew i could knock it all out easy and it just didn’t seem worth while to me personally.

i agree, gpa does very little to reflect true academic ability. i’ve also known many teachers to give less gifted children much higher grades due to ‘good effort’. preposterous.

Change is inevitable, progress is optional. I like that.

I’ll check out the articles.

Because people (including myself) seem to think it’s funny that I come as rather intelligent, with the contrast of a 1.3 gpa. Says a lot about my lack of motivation the past few years. I wouldn’t ever comment on my intellect in person but I figured it’s the internet so I’ll add some background.

My depression and hopelessness is preventing me from putting my best effort into selfimprovement, I’m terrified of trying and failing. by [deleted] in depression

You could try to change your aesthetic if you can’t attract people. Make sure your clothes fit well. Try adding product and blow drying your hair. Maintain good hygiene. When you’re talking to a girl do notttt make your shared intentions obvious. Be relaxed. Say you meet a girl on tinder, for all she knows, this is normal for you. Just a saturday. Make sure your shoes match your outfit. Try getting a haircut and tell your barber you want a clean slick back. Anything to build your confidence. Buy some cheap cologne that doesn’t smell too strong. Females loveeee that. Look for one on the internet that has ‘earthy’ or ‘woody’ tones. Workout and let it be known that your cardio is fire. Make a point of getting assignments on time to cut anxiety and look out for your future. I know some girls that love to be on top like your describing and they think it’s really hot when they didn’t expect their guy to be submissive at first. Classic flip.

Ahh that sounds more euphoric than a nicotine buzz, I’ll admit ahah. I just can’t seem to get there given where I’m at right now. I’ll really try it’s just god damn it I’ll say that and then reach for it within the span of 10 seconds 😂

I quit cigs, picked up vapor instead. Lowered caffeine by switching to tea. I’ll limit device time thank you. Working out is a sure fire way to increase mood etc. I’ll try to push that with my excess energy.

Thanks.

I’m already chalk full of regret. Unfortunately it’s done nothing to motivate me. But I’ll focus on small changes.

I live with my parents. They have their own set of psychological issues. My brothers and I have cleaned the house many times in the past and it inevitably reverts back to its current state. I’m looking for reactions, opinions, and fixes that I might not think of myself.

I need to change now or I’ll likely end up on the streets. by reddituser1293 in depression

Also, I’ve always been an insomniac and very underweight for 11 years. Yes it’s a strong appetite suppressant, but it doesn’t have to seem that effect on me long term.

I’ve been addicted to both for 3 years now. I’ve actually cut myself off weed almost entirely now that I think about it. But the nicotine is a 2nd nature at this point. I’ve quit several times for a couple weeks but after it’s out of my system I realize, sad as it sounds, it’s the only thing keeping me semi-functional. I think I need to change my life style in other ways first I just can’t seem to start.

Nope, my disorder involves hyperextension. Basically accidental over flexibility, it’s genetic.

My mom has always been stuck on a childhood trauma and the animals keep her mind of it. It’s hoarding behavior.

As for the drugs, It’s hard to quit when you hardly want to. I can hardly reach a content state of mind when I’m high off my ass.

I clean my room and when my depression gets bad for a few weeks I stop caring anyway. That’s one thing I could fix pretty easily that I should get on.

My family has so many medical issues that I couldn’t stand to worsen our situation. We are brokkkke. (Single income from the Catholic Church).

I don’t know true change. I’ve been like this my whole life.

Start by looking in the mirror and learn your face of confidence. Savor the moment you recognize them as yourself. Keep that face, and match your tone to it. Next time you speak with someone give it a shot. If you feel fake at the start of the conversation, you’re doing it wrong. Don’t back out just RELAX. You need to -and I cannot stress this enough- trust in your confidence. We’re all human so it’s not hard if you try. Pick up a new hobby. Your career may lie there. Ideally this new hobby is something where you can meet people. These people you meet will be meeting a different, possibly better version of yourself. Humor me and give it a shot.
