Many of us struggle with consistency in our lives, outside of the parts forced on us by obligation, such as work. Self improvement is never easy, but if we focus on small, consistent goals, we can make it.

I personally never really had many healthy habits, some more fundamental than others. I am going to start with a few simple ones, because I know from experience that trying to fix everything at once leads to burnout.
>Dental Hygiene
Simple as it sounds. Brushing and using mouthwash in the morning and evening, and additionally flossing at night. This sounds simple, and that's because it is. Yet I never did it consistently - there have been long stretches where I haven't.
>Reading 10 pages of a (non comic) book.
I spend hours and hours on my computer and phone a day, and it will be difficult to cut that down. But I also recently got an e reader, and I don't read a lot. Even on that device I tend to just read a bunch of manga, and manga's good and all, but I know that consistently reading more traditional books will help me in the long run.
>Listen to a new song a day
This is something that may seem weird, but I don't listen to music much. This comes naturally to many people but I always just spent my time watching youtube videos or doing other actions. I'm no good when people ask me if I know x or y song. Hopefully I can change that. At some point I'd like to progress this from "song" to "album".
>Drink tea/coffee
I am fortunate to have never particularly enjoyed soda, since i really don't like those carbon dioxide burps. But that means I tend to just drink a bunch of water, and there's nothing wrong with water, but I feel like tea could do me a lot of good for relaxing my nerves.
>Talk to someone new in a conversation I initiate
This is the hardest one by far. I really, really hate doing this, but I am also sick of being a wallflower at parties unless I know someone and I tend to get unhealthy attached to people in my life due to my few consistent connections. This even extends to talking on the phone, everything feels so much harder when you can't just backspace and rethink things like on a instant messenger. It doesn't matter how brief the interactionPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Since posting this, I really have achieved almost nothing. I actually think I’ve gotten worse. Anyway, I am really worried that my English is now overwhelmingly better than my native language that its screwing with my mind. I’m mentally assimilated.
I need to work harder.

You're freaking yourself out over nothing, Dawg. Everything will be okay.

I'm assuming you're a student. When I was in school, I did an internship and it put my head on straight. Look for real-life opportunities that put everything around you in context.

When it comes to studying, you're literally allowed to study whenever you like and however you like. I would put on vtubers and animes I'd already watched to make the whole deal more enjoyable. Also, ChatGPT is your saving grace. Use it as a tool, not as a crutch. It can help you prepare practice quizzes and understand just what the fuck that one paragraph of your textbook is trying to explain. I would have it walk me through theorems and equations step by step, sometimes while it pretended to be an Ouran High School Host Club boy.

You've got this. On my life, on everything I swear to god you can do this.

 

>>4389
I'm a NEET. And your study methods scare me. But.. I it would be interesting to have your own private AI bot to pretend to be an Ouran High host club boy.

 

I'm finding it hard to stick to basic schedules. I'm a pretty disorganized and lazy person. Building habits is really difficult.

 

>Studying
I went back to school, which I guess it's a good thing but it doesn't always feel like it, because I have to study useless things and I'd have to study what I actually am interested in on my own time and I'm always too tired or burned out from school and other things to do that.
>Reading
I have so many books that I'm not reading even if I want to and I seriously hate myself for it. I just can't stand the silence most of the time I need the illusion of company, books could give that too but I'm not a good enough reader for that to be the case.
>Socialising
I have some interactions with people in school, nothing meaningful really but it does help a lot. I also started playing, although infrequently, games on vc with some old internet friends.
I still think I'm too shallow and underdeveloped as a person to deserve or expect any real connection.
>Working out, regular sleep schedule, diet
Sleep schedule's fine, diet could be better, I eat like shit sometimes because I'm stressed.
I haven't been working out in a long time since I had to stop because of health issues, I will be able to start doing it again in a few weeks if nothing else happens, I hope I can stick to it.
>Playing the guitar
Completely lost interest.
I don't want to be delusional and say the small progress I made is still progress and it's enough, but I also don't want to be so negative to say nothing I did or do matters, so I don't really know what to say or think. I pretty much need to get past what I can get past and get used to what I can get used to, and chase my goals and ideal habits accordingly.

>>4280
You didn't end up making a follow up post but I hope you're doing better than I am. You seem to be struggling with multiple interests and hobbies and the need to do something with them despite you not caring about many of them anymore. I wouldn't really know what to suggest, it's something you have to experiment with yourself and I'm sure at this point you've already done that.

I'm at Singapore, but I'm completely bored over here. I don't know what to do here or what to buy, I don't do much non technical related at home, so don't know what I could get and take back from here that'd be worth it since I'm poor :(

I've quickly become addicted to AI chatbots. At first this was because search engines are Hitlar level retarded and I can never find what I'm looking for or get swamped with ads. AI bots seemed to get that done easily. But slowly I also got it to fact check, fix grammar and writing errors, re-writes, help be draft and plan schedules and compile lists for me or help me find music. But things have spiraled out of control. I have rapidly lost confidence in my ability to do anything. I've become dependent on it checking my work or fixing errors. I've lost all confidence in my own abilities now. I'm less creative and more depressed. This shit is killing me. I just want to be free of this curse. This stuff kills the mind.

You can't hold hands with an AI
You can't grasp the AI
You can only pinpoint how they're an AI and be dumbfounded that they don't know what to do either.

 

>>5070
i think you're using AI tech too much, then… to undo the damage, why not find a brain training hobby to do in your free time and try to get good at it, friend? it'll help you focus!
>>5081
>>5088
good points, guys… i don't think AIs are good at living in our world yet. maybe the OP should try getting into outdoor hobbies?

join a matrix/telegram community for your hobbies or play games instead of speaking to chatbots, it'll help, trust me. look for alternative tools for searching up shit if you're desperate

I'm working on some projects but the issue is its so much easier to search for stuff with AI rather than use a trashy search engine. I would completely break away from AI if it wasn't for the fact search engines absolutely suck and 90% of scientific papers are junk publications. I don't have time to sort through all of that. It tell the bot what I want and where to look for it and it spits out what I need. Its a slippery slope from there into using it for a dozen other things and before you know it your mind is ruined.

If your work revolve on doing mundane tedous paperwork than there's nothing to fuss about. Nobody would ever care about that paperwork except your higher up, examiner and such.



 

I am slowly starting to go insane day by day. That's the best way that I can put what has been happening to me. I've been doing and have had things done to me that are unexplainable and basically physically impossible. Things that I would never do, I suddenly start doing for no reason. Over the most trivial and nonsensical things, I start screaming hysterically and mumbling to myself and no matter what I do, I can't stop it. This board is called /kind/ and it says "No Bully! Help Others!". I need help from anyone who has experienced something similar and, if possible, a countermeasure to ward off whatever this is, be insanity or something completely different. I don't even use the internet at all anymore, nor do I have any contact with other people, but I'm running out of ideas. Also, I know how to write Japanese so please talk to me in Japanese if you can, just for fun.

Why aren't they in their burqa? This is haram my friend.

 


 

So it's been almost a year since I made this thread and I have a few things to say about how I'm doing now. At the time of making the thread, I was in a serious state of panic. I was in such distress from all of the paranoia and absurdity that I had to stop everything I was doing and rush to my computer to ask if there was anyone who was experiencing the same thing as me. I had no contact with the outside world and all of the pent up urges to interact socially had reached a devastating tipping point. I still don't have any friends, but using the internet more often has made me feel a bit more like I'm actually alive and not just a ghostly spectator. I'm even thinking of getting professional help from a doctor as some of the replies to this thread have suggested. I don't know how much effort or sacrifice I will have to endure, but I am determined to find a way to live comfortably in my own flesh.

Three?

A rabbit and two monkeys at least, or twelve monkeys at most.

The answer they expect is three but we aren't told the path the animals take or who might've seen what, when, or where.



 

I checked out a book from the library recently, and it smells as a new book. This is worrying. Books from the library are supposed to smell like a library. This tome is six years old, too.

Never really thought about it before, but I like the way leather-bound books smell. My KJV smells pleasant enough. What book are you sniffing? Keep smelling books.

 

>>4836
This book is a cloth-bound book (if you're curious, it's one of these: https://www.theportobellobookshop.com/published-by/royal-classics), but I usually can't smell that kind of stuff on a book. A book's smell is just where the book came from to me, be it a new books store, a library, or a musty shed.

 

>>4836
I have a new copy of the Institutes of Calvin and it stinks bad. It has that nasty glossy paper that smells like pungent plastic. I hate it. On a side note I really like the tan old books have and wish there was some filter or some way I could buy books with a tan page color.

 

>>4834
new books smell good to me, though. old book scents are OK… but i don't like smelling da really old ones…

 

I mostly read on my ereader. It makes all the books smell the same.

I've seen him before, but always assumed he was from animal crossing.



 

What the hell, I only did 10 minutes workout on this sliding mat thing and I already beat up. I can't be like Momo like this. I think my stamina level is utterly shit right now. I always thought this slinding thing is a fucking meme considering it didn't even slided like it was advertised when I first try. I have pour some oil on the mat in order to get rid off all the friction, after then I able to slide.

Imaginary pic related of me lying in bed after 10 minutes work out.

Now I'm having gay girls thought regarding this stuff. What if there are 2 sliding mats, one place in the front and the other in the rear. 2 girls have to sync slides while holding both of their hands as like they were dancing together . I wonder how long will they keep up doing it until they get tired.

Is thing where you use it to slide left and right while wearing shoe cover.

>Is thing
>>Is this thing
man I can't type today

 

>>3445
That sounds and looks very exhausting.

 

I've been running almost every day to stay active after I injured my arm working out. It's healing nicely, so I should be able to get back to strength training soon.

 

I probably should figure out some kind of exercise routine to do at home. When the weather is not this unbearably hot, I like to go for long walks but ever since summer started, I barely left my room.



 

i was browsing wayback and i saw than a friend had posted about having /kind/ archives due to robowaifu's bump. (https://web.archive.org/web/20221220202046/https://kind.moe/kind/res/43.html)
i was wondering if that friend still browsed and if he could share them <3
i am trying to put together a /kind/ archive

SMT Nocturne is fun. Beat Beelzebub yesterday. I'll probably try Digital Devil Saga after I get the true demon ending.

 

I've been playing noita, it's sucked me in a way no other game has. The way gaining knowledge each run of how the enemies move, how wands work, how levels are generated and consequently where health increases and loot are located is the most important thing you gain each run really tickles my brain. Even when I die due to something barely in my control I don't get frustrated at all, it's just funny to me, since even when dying is an experience you can learn from it doesn't feel completely unfair. It's really fun, but once you've picked up a good enough wand and killed most of the bosses multiple times the challenges that are left are tedium that's not as fulfilling. The challenge of surviving in the early game and experimenting with spells while working with the environment to gain the smallest advantages is lost once your spells can obliterate everything the moment it comes on screen.

 

I wanted to expand my handheld experience because I've found recently that I have numerous handhelds like a Gameboy advance, PSP, 3DS, and vita but have like only two or three games I've played extensively for eqch of them. I started my journey with Ratchet and Clank Size Matters and it's pretty lackluster. The camera's terrible, most weapons aren't that fun to use, and the game jumps in difficulty from extremely easy to aggressively difficult out of nowhere due to certain bosses and the terrible camera. Its just a lesser ratchet and clank game compared to the PS2 or PS3 games. Was surprised there's a diehard fanbase that will defend this game and say those who don't like it just need to "git gud" (since it can be rather difficult sometimes) so maybe I'm just not that good, but still, I just feel it's a lackluster experience. If you like it more power to you, though.

 

>>4677
My problem with the PSP and the Vita is that their dedicated libraries are not that good, generally speaking. Their only selling point is the fact that they're portable. The Vita is a lot worse for this than the PSP is, but even then most of the PSP exclusives end up feeling like lesser versions of home console games. I guess it's nice to play the Attack on Titan game or All-Stars at the doctor's office, but the experience is just better on the home consoles. That being said, they're still good consoles and there is still a lot to check out. For the Vita, I recommend Gravity Rush (though it isn't an exclusive anymore,) Gundam Extreme Vs Force, and Soul Sacrifice Delta. The PSP fairs a little better. It has its own SoulCalibur game, Renegade Squadron, its own God of War games, two Ace Combat games, the Metal Gear Acid games, et cetera. Nintendo consoles speak for themselves, I think. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

 

>>4678
I actually played Gravity Rush in high school so that's one of the games i have exerperience with! It's incredibly good, I enjoyed it so much I platinumed it. Great taste! I haven't played 2 since I don't own a PS4 (I think it was on either that or PS5 and I have neither.)
