What should I do to improve my life?

At the moment because it's summer all I am doing is playing GTA 5 and killing people for fun and masturbating to porn and questioning if I should use an escort. Gosh saying that in text makes me realise how bored I am at the moment.... However it's hard for me to be motivated at anything as my mind works by getting short term rewards e.g. a tasty protein shake after working out. How can I be motivated for longer term rewards? I mean should I go out and meet people? I'm quite a big loner tbh
What makes strangers on the internet qualified to advise you?

You already mentioned your issue being loneliness and boredom.

Go solve it.

fallen into the porn and masturbation trap. its not a symptom of no motivation its the cause of no motivation. try no fap i gave up p and m 3 years ago (sure i fail every so often) but its a total game changer. its transformed my life. its a catalyst to self improvement; drop bs habits and pick up clean productive ones to become a better stronger version of yourself. there is a chit tonne of resources out there how to talk to women, make friends, build a better workout plan, what clothes, hair cut to get etc. alpha m, based zeus, elliot hulse, blackwhiteguyinamerica, mikkois. my favourite ytber is gabriel kalei bocanegra is all a good start. then books like social anxiety solution, yourbrainonporn

Wait so masturbation is a cause for me being lazy? Whenever I do go out I do dress well etc. I used to workout and will probably start again in September when I begin university. I mean should I start going out just for a Costa or something, as at least it gets me out of the house.
Gotta discipline yourself bro. Go to bed at a reasonable time. Get up early and take a cold shower. Meditate. Exercise. Get out of the house, even if its just for a walk around the block. Quit watching porn and masturbating, its draining your life force bro, and you need that to work towards your goals. Go out and talk to strangers. Do things that are out of your comfort zone. Start reading books. Cut back on video games. Change your diet to something more healthy. Appreciate the little things in life. Be thankful. No excuses. Go.

yeah this. sure life force energy isnt in medical text books, but retaining for whatever reason gives u a chit tonne of motivation and energy to become a better version. plus quiting porn is gonna start to reverse the damage u done to it since u started watching p. studies out there porn causes anxiety, depression

Exactly. There's been thousands of accounts by people who have given up porn and masturbation who claim that they get ''superpowers'' so to speak. Think about it though, semen retention must be powerful if some of the greatest minds practised it. For example, Nikola Tesla and Steve Jobs (I think). Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but boxers etc usually go weeks without masturbating before a big fight because it helps them to perform better.
Don’t see a tramp for sex.

Go to places and spend time with people who motivate you to be who you want to be long term.

Haha I was going to say that.

It's good to be able to have that kind of lifestyle for a bit, particularly if you've just done exams and just want to chill, but in the long term I think it's pretty damaging to live like that.

Do you have any friends? If you do, arrange to meet up with them. Perhaps try to look for a part time job, or join some kind of class to find a new hobby.

Ultimately, socialising should be your goal. Anything to get you off your console!

I did do nofap for 30 days and I did see changes. Only issue is that I couldn't handle it but oh boy the orgasm u feel after no rapping for 30 days is unreal. Cheers for the advice. I think once I start my work experience and then go to university I will be a lot more productive. Haha yeah I love alpha m, I will look at those youtubers tho.

First decide what you want to do then make the change and reap the benefits or, don’t change and suffer the consequences. It can only go one of two ways. It’s the people who put the effort in who end up in the winners circle.

Hmm don’t go with the flow focus your career and do software engineering. Get the experience and apply for relevant stuff. Stop sounding like such a goon.
