Discussion Are you low or high time preference?

[Hoppipolla]

Mainly, I mean!

Low is when you mostly plan for the future. You do things that you think will give you a better life "tomorrow".

High is more like living for the moment a bit more. Immediate pleasures.

Should be an interesting one!

Sadly, high

I have episodes when I'm "low" (I start working out, eating healthy... but this only lasts for 1-2 days, then I'm back to "high"). You know why? Because I'm 26 and very ugly, what's the point. Arguably, being "low" is a cope... wrong hope for a future I will never experience in a way that would make me happy (getting a gf). I really can't decide what's better. I feel like for me, both are bad. I love unhealthy food, I hate working out... so why should I change anything if there is no point, if I won't get a gf anyway, even if I have better skin, a belly that's not fat (I'm skinny but have fat belly), and muscles? My face is a 2/10 and I'm short, I hum and moan in my sleep... what should I do?

High time preference. The future will be shit no matter what I do.
