any advice on how to channel it?

nope

what works for me won't work for you and vice versa

we're different people

is there an over arching principle tho?

sounds like you're on the right path and you're committed to growth

the principle is git gud

something i can apply to me

lol

i guess i would say is don't have any expectations and don't set a eta on your success

enjoy the process and celebrate your triumphs/victories

i like that ty

no matter how small

need some more advice:

holding your breath while jacking off counts as cardio

i'm breaking off from old toxic friends however they occasioanlly call me and msg me asking to meet up

oh

how can i completely sever the tiw

tie

don't respond

easy

go no contact

ghost

they live near me and sometimes walk past me house

pop smoke and ghost

and?

just ignore them

who cares if they walk past your house

that ain't your problem

just focus on grinding

and growing

they've before hand knocked on the door and asked my parents where i am

fucking annoying

then man up

look them in the eyes

grab them by the bellend

true - i just fucking hate confronation

im a pussy

and say "i'm not fucking about anymore"

it's only confrontation if you internalize their emotions as your responsibility

be pragmatic about it
