I know for some, being a PUA isn't just about f-closing and sewing your seed but it's about self improvement and becoming the man that you were too scared to be as an AFC.

Well I'm about halfway through the Game and it's the first I've heard about the whole community to be honest. My problem is I'm kind of lacking the motivation to make a change. It's not about laziness or apathy. I'm just downtrodden.

I have 0 belief in myself from years of sucking at life.

Start reading up on some inner game stuff. Send me your email in a pm and I'll send you a book to get you started.

dude i dont know you but i can already say a few things about you

your humble and seem to be able to reflect on yourself and your performance (although maybe a touch too critical )
You're proactive to some degree as you've read a book on a subject that you've then started to become active in if only just by joining a forum
You're brave enough to ask a group of your peers how to improve and that, sir, IS brave

seems like you dont actually suck at life, and i've only read a paragraph about you... just saying

I'm finding it hard to comprehend how reading a book can actually unwire years and years of being made to feel worthless. Enlighten me please because I want to live the type of life all my student peers seem to be living while I mope around in self critical depression.

I read The Game like 9 months ago and since then my life improved drastically. I was depressed to a point that I didn't want to live anymore. I wasn't actually thinking of suicide but I just wanted to not wake up in the morning.
At that time I had a very good girlfriend, my own apartment, good job but it still didn't make me happy. I hated people, including myself.

Inner game was the most exciting (and still is) from the Pickup community.
What helped me most probably, were affirmations where you talk to yourself only in positive words. Never beat yourself up over anything, even if you fuck up.

I actually started by talking to myself (in my head or even out loud when I was alone), that I like myself for who I am and that I don't care what anyone else thinks about me.

If you want some real tools for selfhelp I'd suggest David DeAngelo's Man's Transformation, that was definitely a life changer for me!

I'm not going to lie, I actually was in a worse situation before I got into PU. Now, I saw the light, redeemed myself, and became better so to speak. I was so bad at talking to other people that I wouldn't even order a meal at a restaurant, talk to another person outside my family, and dreaded everyday. How did I get out of this rut? I started to not care too much and tried to improve myself in the ways I knew what limited me from becoming what I wanted to be. I started out small but now, I put not giving a damn to another level. I am currently having phone sex/ sexting this chick I met about a year ago.
