Is it possible to accelerate self improvement?

Reading is not self-improvement. That’s called accumulating knowledge. Reading self-improvement is also not improvement, that’s called mental masturbation.

But you can’t be a master without masturbation.

Start producing. Produce websites, products, fucking solo wanking videos while crying about the fear of missing out if you have to.

Production takes you forward. That is improvement.

It'll pay off in a few years after college. You'll be miles ahead of the rest of the pack.

Yep. Be super efficient with your time. You used to sit around for 2 hours a day and watch TV? Time to use those two hours to improve yourself.

Stop being a pussy and cold approach. You'll slowly become resistant to it. You can accelerate that resistance by having a logical mindset about it. "What does it matter if I get rejected by that girl?". As a former gamer, I think of it in terms of a video game. You respawn, and get to try it all over again. Your metaphorical death(rejection) means nothing, it just sucks.

What cuck would say don't compare yourself to others? Constantly compare yourself to others so you have a basis for what you need to improve. Only weak people don't compare themselves to others as they're scared to see they're incompetent compared to other people in whatever. Ultimately, you're young. It sucks right now. You feel like it's the worst thing ever that you're not spending money and going out and having fun. You feel like this is the most important thing in the world. It isn't. You'll realize that when you're older and be happy that you did it. It will pay dividends in the future. They're in college wasting money and time banging hoes while you're building your future. Then when you get older, you can perpetually bang those college chicks if that's what you're into. You can do drugs, have fun, and do whatever because you have disposable income and you're an alpha male. The world will be your oyster, your only sacrifice is at most a decade.

To be fair, they're working basically the same low wage occupation as you. So chasing girls, drugs, and partying is about the hottest shit they'll likely have going for them.

This is them being "big fish in a small pond."

It begs the question, if they're so awesome, why are they still working there?

Keep an eye on them. In 15 years hopefully you'll have a high value degree, be working a challenging job that pays six figures, you'll own a house, have several plates or an amazingly feminine LTR who worships you, and be vacationing and attending business conferences overseas. Maybe you'll have started a business, failed, then started another one and made bank. Although who knows what the future will bring.

Meanwhile around half of your coworkers will still be working low value low skill jobs, gained a bunch if weight, burned out on drugs and alcohol, debt problems, working 60 hr weeks to pay child support, living in mom's basement, etc.

So, you're on the right track, dude.

Although I suggest you ask to hang out and party with some of them some time. Mainly to hone your socializing skills

It takes time for worthy investments to pay off. Drugs and clubbing are easy. Study, gym, and improvement are hard. Because your young you can’t see how much your paths will eventually diverge. After 5 years you will look back and see them leading pathetic lives of quiet desperation and hedonistic indulgence. Wasted time, wasted health, wasted money, wasted potential. No man ever bettered himself by picking up the habits of losers.

Try to increase your social circle and build networks with mature and ambitious people who want more out life then easy pleasures.

Make industry your hobby.

Your free time wouldn't feel so wasted, nor would you feel envious of your debt-laden peers, if you were in a flow State building or making or fixing things that yields something of value.

You can also take off a single night a week and go drink with mates. Balance can be important
