why should I even work: need advice

You've already had a taste of not trying. How's that working out for you? Does life feel great? Do you feel satisfied? Is your life painless?

You're here because you think there's a chance that it gets better. Nothing we tell you can make you decide why. All we can tell you is what works.

You can spend your days feeling sorry for yourself. Feeling like you aren't getting what you deserve. That it's all too hard. Or you can push through a bit of pain at the gym or struggle with self improvement and find out if it's better on the other side.

Make your choice. But make no mistake about it, it's YOUR choice. And it's one of the few things we truly get to decide for ourselves.

Guys, the world needs a certain % of beta followers. Let him be that. Whom else is going to do the menial jobs before automation takes it over?

Let him wallow in pity a bit longer until the "why" question goes away and the "How do I get started" question is forefront.

Because it mostly pays off.

You don’t get many bodybuilders regret all the years of hard work they did to get to the top.

You don’t get many people on TRP who have changed their sex lives regret that pain that it took.

You don’t get many athletes regret the hard work they did to get to the top.

Ali said he hated every single second of training but he went through it to get to the top.

Get off that nihilism king.

Dealing with pain and rejection is part of being a high value male. Diamonds are formed under pressure. You gotta ask yourself, if you stopped trying to improve, would you be happier? If so, just stop improving and be mediocre.

Because when you work, you get money, which can buy you wonderful things, whatever you're into.

Because it's a drag to play video games all day, because fundamentally you're not creating your own videogame: Your Life.

Also, it gets ya out of the house, staring at 4 walls of home all day gets pretty depressing (see: the lockdown)

Finally, work isn't all pointless, high effort toil. I can recall moments of extreme satisfaction in my work when I did something no one else had ever done before. Fame, fortune, girls all followed. It was great fun. I guess I have the soul of an inventor.

Anyways, that's my reasons.

Cheers

You clearly need a life goal and some therapy. But the question "why?" is a valid one, I suppose.

If you can't find a reason why, then I suspect reddit is not the place to seek help.

Ask yourself this, what do you have to lose by getting your shit together?

Aside from the money/gym/sex life is so beautiful. There are so many aspects to life I personally love the small details: a good game of chess, a fun pet, or a glass of tea. There are vast oceans and lands, cultures and languages, and so much to life. Religions, quantum mechanics, and new technologies. I wish I could live forever to experience it all. We get so wrapped up in TRP and society that we forget to appreciate the small beautiful details of life. The pain builds you, the work you put in will one day pay off. You will be able to retire and experience it all. Keep pushing brother.

If your content being a loser stay a loser it’s your life no one cares about whether or not you "TRY" it’s up to you whether you want something out of life or to just jack off and eat junk. That being said a better question is why stay the same?

And the end of the day, no one can answer this question for you. You need to do it yourself.
