The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I still wasted most of my time, I still can redeem myself so there's that.
I have zero shame with how I treat women now. My past self would text them from a distance thinking that they were angelic creatures, believed in the Madonna/whore complex.
For most of my life, I always had these debilitating one sided crushes on girls, I left Instagram because of one. I met way better looking girls and can never go back to thinking that way. It's fun to meet a girl, a complete stranger and vibe with her, have a point where both of us find each other attractive and go back home or maybe not since I didn't do that with most girls.
Most of this was stuff I only saw in movies, recreating way better versions of it was very fun. I'm not saying these girls were like model tier but some were.
My closest friends are not like me, they're bland career people now and frankly I can't talk to them without getting some of my startup stuff fixed, but in ways I'm happy they found stability.
