I haven't done exercise in a long time which is a bad habit. Yes you should do moderate exercise every day

I have mental breakdowns when I exercise.

If you don't want to exercise then don't exercise.

I personally exercise and it gets tiresome, especially as an Incel (to pick up some energy or ignite some fire within you to do shit).

The only thing that keeps me going is that I can't afford to be weaker than Normies and Chads.

Excersise does nothing for me. I used to cycle alot but since uni started I just take the bus and I don't really miss it. Started gymceling but I don't have any sort of commitnent

tfw went out to play basketball because the weather is now not that bad and sprained my back or something, shit hurts bad. jfl

 

[Schizoidcel]

I feel even worse if I stop exercising for like 2-3 days, it's one of my best copes and a daily "reset" button.

When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine.

Exercising is my cope

FTFY

Legit was doing cardio for days trying to lose weight and the lack of progress had me feeling tired and drained from the effort, stopped exercising and just started to eat a bunch of low calorie shit like ramen, oats, etc, started losing weight, didn't even have to exercise, felt happy and energetic again.

I think exercise is just a release of energy for guys like you, its more like it makes you so tired that you don't even think about how shitty your life is, your brain just subconsciously focuses on recovery and how tired your body is, so "bad thoughts" barely even cross your mind. I can't placebo myself with shit like that, placebos don't work for me.

I do plan on lifting but that's after I lose weight, just to bulk up a bit, but I want a "ripped" build not a "roid" build lol. Don't want jacked arms, I want a lean figure, trying to get jacked when you're short (I'm 5'7") is just stupid, you don't have the skeletal structure to maximize the usefulness of that build, its like being born a theif class in an rpg game and you put more points in strength than agility, its just shitty build. Short guys need to value speed over strength.

Mental exercises are more vital for mental health than physical exercises.

Maladaptive daydreaming, also called excessive daydreaming, is when an individual experiences excessive daydreaming that interferes with daily life. It is a proposed diagnosis of a disordered form of dissociative absorption associated with excessive fantasy that is not recognized by any major medical or psychological criteria. Maladaptive daydreaming can result in distress, can replace human interaction and may interfere with normal functioning such as social life or work.[1][unreliable medical source?][2] Maladaptive daydreaming is not a widely recognized diagnosis, and is not found in any major diagnostic manual of psychiatry or medicine.[3] The term was coined in 2002 by Eli Somer of the University of Haifa.[2] Somer's definition of the proposed condition is "extensive fantasy activity that replaces human interaction and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning."[2] There has been limited research outside of Somer's.

Maladaptive dreamers may dissociate from reality to absorb themselves completely in their daydream and may unknowingly act out the behavior or speak the dialogue of characters in their daydream. The content of daydreams can be richly detailed and fantastical, while others feature an idealized version of the daydreamer. Maladaptive daydreaming may develop as a coping strategy in response to trauma, as the inner world may feel safer than the experience happening outside. For example, people found themselves maladaptive daydreaming more frequently Trusted Source National Library of Medicine, Biotech InformationThe National Center for Biotechnology Information advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.View Source during the COVID-19 lockdown, when they felt a greater urge to daydream and the vividness of their daydreams intensified.
