I'm a 20 year old guy, moderately attractive, been lifting for almost a year and i've got a lot of looks from girls who never new I existed in high school. I was obviously a complete bluepilled male, dated like 4 girls in high school for a year each, allowed myself to be stepped on (not as bad as some stories i've read) but definitely wasn't anything close to resembling a chad. Also was heavily addicted to video gaming, pretty much all I did in high school and smoke weed.
TBH I haven't really done shit since leaving high school. I've just been working and living with my uncle and aunt. I did pick up lifting though, that has changed my life dramatically. Just yesterday I also signed up for some classes at a community college. As far as women goes, I still have pretty bad approach anxiety but the NYE party i went to (first actual party i've been to) I was killing it, got a pretty big ego boost.
Heres the thing, I'm garbage at school, at staying organized with school, I don't read any books, I don't meditate, etc. My hobbies and intellectual pursuits have been on the standstill for awhile. I'm also addicted to social media, it's kind of taken the place of video games. I'm a fairly introverted person (I've taken a personality test every year since 9th grade and gotten INTP) so I'm nervous that going monk mode for 3-6 months will exacerbate my shyness and perhaps make me socially autistic.
While doing it i'm going to:
-not fap
-not actively pursue women, go on tinder maybe once a week, try to set up a date, if not oh well
-cease to use instagram/facebook/snapchat (only to talk to male friends)
-begin meditating (sit in silence) 15-30 min/day
-try to read 2 books/month (any recommendations? gonna start with NMMNG, and Mastery)
-Sleep/wake up on time
-Some other personal things
I'm not sure if i'm doing the right thing by monk mode I just wanted to hear your guys' opinion on it + your success/failure with it. Discipline and willpower has always been a struggle for me, I never had parents to instill it in me they never really gave a fuck what I did so I became a loser in high school.
