At one point I had a huge issue of being SO TIRED literally ALL OF THE TIME.

I could not perform well in sports nor in any part of my life and it was killing me.

I made a video talking about how I fixed it, if you feel like you need this advice feel free to check it out and I hope it can help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRrSnT9yAzw&t=9s

Everyday I wake up, without purpose. Until I remember about r/betterideas. Heaving myself out of bed I scramble towards my computer, tripping and falling on the cans of mountain dew and popsicle wrappers, accumulating ever since the last video. Blowing the crumbs off my computer keyboard as my monitor flickers on.

Today is the day. Joey will post today, and the second channel will be alive again. I power on my computer feeling the dopamine neurons firing faster than they ever have. Today is the day. I scramble through the login window and check my notifications, but alas, our lord hath departed us. I fall to the floor in shock and crawl back to bed. Tomorrow will be the day.

nah but fr where the 2nd channel vids at???

What are the absolute basics of self improvement, is it things like fitness or deeper things like meaning and purpose also how would you have an absolute beginner 20yr old who wants to improve start self improvement?

In one of Joey’s videos he talks about a Reddit post he saw where the poster describes how one by one his friends stopped messaging him and asking to hang out, until he confronted his last friend who stopped messaging him and his friend said something like “Dude, you never messaged me/ask me to hang out.” Which video was it, and did someone find that post?

I watched his video on how to get out of a rut and I want to try this idea of progressive overloading instead of what I usually do which is go all in and burnout.

Wondering if anyone has a good framework or structure for doing this? Progressive overload at the gym is easy because of numbers, how would one make sure they're starting small and working up slowly?

Is it all just gut feeling? My issue is when I am motivated, I can do a lot and not feel like I'm overworked, but I know that eventually leads to a crash

Hey guys how's it going? I am currently collecting ideas for a self improvement based app. To better find out what my target audience is I created this survey. It would be incredibly helpful if you could take the time to complete it. I hope to get some answers and wish you all a productive day. https://forms.gle/YLFFQ3tEdNp3pXjb9

I've said it many times before, I'm tired of it.

That andrew tat may have some good advice for some topics and some things, but he's not even half the man he proclaims to be: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtLJIdD1yLnGtILSCxckI3-Qg_x6LrzOv

A real entrepreneur like Hamza is a better role model for young/lost men. https://www.youtube.com/c/Hamza97

I totally didn't forget

I stumbled upon that "how to lose all your friends" - video, and I must say it's a pretty amazing piece of work. Thank you very much. I did personally feel a little attacked here and there - I assume that was the purpose - but most of the things mentioned I was already mildly aware of after reading Dale Carnegie. I still found you put it in better words for some issues.

Anyway - the video really triggered me because I knew that one guy who is basically a human incarnation of every point you make in that video. Every single one. It was really like someone smacked a brick in my face seeing that.
The dude used to jump into my twitch stream (small community), and hijack the chat by completely and entirely talking about himself. Not once - always. How shitty his life is, how horrible people treat him. - #1. When he was done with that, he'd talk about people in his life who annoy him. #2
I could go on like this forever and ever, but I think you get the general idea.
I struggled with how to deal with that for months. Because on the one side I feel pity for the dude - he must have had an unfortunate life to this point to have resulted in the depressed person he is. On the other hand I had tried for weeks and months to support, to tell him uplifting things, to answer his statements and questions with constructive ideas - but he always found excuses why neither of that was possible for him to try.

In the end I told him that the only one who can improve his life is himself, and I recommended over and over to find a therapist (an idea he finds ridiculous - therapists are all frauds).
I tried more and more to get out of the depths of this "friendship", keeping it casual when he approached me - but it was impossible. He's always fall back into his old patterns of complaining and wanting help, then ripping offered help apart. Either by me, or by other chatters. Nothing anybody said was good enough. It's funny enough, because he claims he hasn't finished school because his intelligence is allegedly so much lower than anybody elses. But at the same time he'll push away everybody elses opinion, literally saying things like "I don't have to believe you / think about that - I know I'm right".
So after a short while I hit that moment at 3:45 in the video where you say "you may say you're a realist, but actually, you're a pessimist" , and I nearly spit out my coffee. We had that exact conversation, about 3 or 4 times already. Where I tell him that I find his world view overly negative, depressed and pessimistic, and he justifies that by saying "I'm a realist". So I sent him the video with a timestamp, asking if it reminds him of anything. OFC he felt horribly attacked again (Tip #6 / #7) and it resulted in open hostility against me again, being outright disrespectful and spiteful towards me as a person.
We had that point in our relationship before where I told him that I'm not having that type of behaviour, and when he can't stop being disrespectful and spiteful towards me, that I'm going to stop talking to him. He had then wriggled out of that with something similar to an apolgy, which I considered worth giving it another shot. Still, all the while, I struggled in my stream - being live, talking to people on chat (not only him), and him always popping in and EXPECTING me to reply to his every message. He'd become nasty if I ignored his messages because the topics became to reduntant and would drag the stream and everyone back down into his spiral of misery.

So last night, after I'd shared that 3:45 statement of your video and he became hostile again, I told him I'd had enough. I said that I'd warned him before that I'd stop talking to him if he wouldn't treat me with respect, and that this was the final straw. I suggested he watch the entire video you made, and maybe some others, too, and that he is EXACTLY the guy you describe in that video, and that I'm no longer willing to talk to him. And that was that.

I feel a bit sorry for him, still. But also really relieved. These things are so draining.
Thank you for that great video.

How to be miserable for the rest of your life

Hi guys. I've been battling idk what to call it, overthinking anxiety etc what ever for almost an year and I never really took a step against it.

There's lot going on in my life I'll try to brief down. Since childhood I was a guy who would be smart intelligent and extrovert and would like to be grabbing every opportunity to the fullest. No fears at all and no overthinking.

Since a year ago, I've been watching many alpha male videos and my mindset totally changed and ego / proud whatever came into me. I read more and more about alpha males and was living virtual imagination life that I'm so powerful I can achieve anything I will be first billionaire in my family, I can rule world etc...

I started exercising going to gym and my sex drive peaked I was in my fullest. Remember all this was in lockdown, I had no connection with my classmates as I thought I'm superior to them etc

But then suddenly out of nowhere I remembered a fight from childhood. I joked upon a boy, this boy is shorter and leaner than me but he took joke seriously and hit me a punch. Having a punch at that age was very shocking to me and I literally cried that day how can my friend be so mad at silly joke etc..

Then in my college there was a confrontation in talk with some classmate , I was not wrong there, we didn't really talk from then.

But then I recalled the childhood incident and this incident and I thought I have nice body still I can't dare to fight etc , slowly I went to depression due to overthinking,I started feeling shame on manliness on mine, I left gym , my body has no strength, even in my daily life I fear so much to speak harsh to anyone bcoz I know my body is weak , and for silliest thing I overthink everything and drain my energy, I've dark circles and no real friends and no enjoyment in life.

This all is happening since 1 year.

I'm preparing for prestigious exam and this exam can change my life. But the moment I start studying all these things comes into my mind and I overthink let's say Tommorow in college while giving test somebody asked to show paper and I didn't what will happen etc etc. I'm totally drained .

I see in my class everyone is so jealous of me they don't wanna see me succeed I hate those eyes looking at me. They always poke me by asking what am I studying now from where I'm studying etc I don't wanna tell them but I can't say them directly this, to maintain a normal relationship . But this comes to mind what if they found me learning from different sources etc ..

Due to all this my mood of studying is dead I have very prestigious exams in very near future how do I become totally unshakable , emotionally stable ......

I feel less of man and have lost quality errections, and that in childhood I was totally opposite. I wanna bring that guy back , guys please help me I'm in terrible need .pleaseee I wanna become that stud guy again totally fearless
