As a former Java programmer during the dot.coms (1990's) part of what you went through is the mental burnout of too much sustained technical thinking.
The human mind has intellect and intuition and STEM related things have no intuitive aspect.
So you needed to break out of that single mindedness... lift... be healthy... return to the real world and get your intuition functioning again.

Im not sure the intuition part... I am a C++ developer myself. It seems that many of the people I've worked with have strong intuition ... They are great brilliant problem solvers, and are well tuned to emotions.
I do agree with being healthy though... I did burn out because I didnt take care of me.

Yeah, well I wasn't talking about anything like "mathematical intuition" or anything like that even though that is very real.
My point was that you have to get your mind out of that logical mode... the intellect... and return to awareness of the common ordinary reality we physically live in.
Intuition is a different way of processing reality... it's non-linear.
Maybe "organic" is a better word... not involving straight lines:

Congratulations BTW. Illimitable man quoted you on twitter yesterday
[–]NeoreactionSafe0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Twitter... yes I've heard of that... something about short messages where you aren't able to complete a deep thought.
I've heard it's popular with some people.
(I'm kidding... I've heard of it, but don't do the "twit" behavior myself)

I'm giving it a. College try to promote mrp.
Should have guessed you wouldn't use. It's a 555 activity, and you're purely 7s.

No Facebook either.
Almost no tv now too.
If it screams Blue Pill I avoid it like the poison it actually is...

Holy shit, you invented a time machine, took Java all the way back to 1990.

In my time Java was the "new language" and was derived from SmallTalk.
Yeah... haven't programmed since 2001... the last time I had to actually work.
I'm still "on vacation" so to speak. (living off savings)

1995 is in the 90s is it not? :)

He said he was a dev in the 90s, but go ahead and pat yourself on the pat for the good Internet detective effort you just made.

It's a beautiful thing to fall in love with yourself , for much of my childhood , teenage years , and young adult life I despised myself. I felt like I could never do anything right no matter how hard I tried . Like every success I had was some sort of luck , someones shedding their kindness on me , me just being in the right place at the right time . Life was a river and I was a log just being swept along it .
I found this sub earlier this year and for the very first time in my life I not only enjoy myself but I feel in control . I say what I want , not what I think I should . I do what I want , not what I think I should . My family has seen my weight loss success and are starting to treat me like a man and not a boy ( which I was pre-trp ) .
The beautiful thing is seeing yourself for yourself though . I can be an asshole , I can be kind , I can be funny , I am strong , I am definitely smarter than the average bear, and definitely more conceited than I'd like to admit , sometimes I do fuck up but I always know how to put myself back together . Ultimately I see value in myself as a being , if I would have died before TRP I wouldn't be able to tell you who I am but now I can tell you exactly who I am .

Try to encourage pride in yourself and your works, inwardly. Outwardly, dont be a braggard, let others do that for you. Pride masks loneliness and disappointment. Narcicism is a dirty word, but is exactly what you need if you are feeling down. Look at your body like you belong in a porno. To this day, im still trying to counter all the criticism and low self esteem i internalized when i was in high school

I realized I painted the engineering school in a bad light. I have to say that I am grateful to go to this school. Its not the school's fault, it was my own fault for not taking care of myself.

Well for what it's worth. I found this place in my mid 40's.
You think YOU wasted some time... Seriously though I agree with your post. I've wasted so much time being regretful and feeling guilty. One day you just have to stop. Accept the past since it is what it is and can't be changed and start living a present that is going to lead to the future you want for yourself.
Feeling bad about the past just tends to drag it into the present and make it into the future.

It's never too late to change or improve. Never.

What triggered the breakdown?
[–]Unholy_VI0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
failed business and bad ltr breakup. Added to a lifetime of trying to do the 'right thing' and always failing.
I was really angry at the world, depressed, blaming everyone else, you probably know the story.
Truth is I had just been so indoctrinated in bluepill and conditioned to feel guilty and miserable for disappointing women that there's no way in hell I was ever going have a lasting success at anything period.
Not saying others didn't contribute to my situation but the biggest culprit was me and my refusal to stop clinging to my sacred cows.
Life is much better now and I agree. when I'm 50 I'll have five years of redpill building my body, social circle, finances,and confidence. I'm one of the few people my age that wakes up every day honestly feeling like the best is yet to come and excited to be on the journey.

So this actually is the platitude I expected it to be.
I urge you to keep going, crawl if you have to, but dont give up.
"You're right, Telenoobies, I'm gonna do it!" said no one ever. No one is going love himself and turn his life around and start living like a Spartan warrior after reading this. People are going to realize how to live or they're just going to die every day like the rest. I say let them.
[–]telenoobies[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I dont think its as "heroic" as being a spartan warrior.
Its more like... what other choice do you really have?
[–]Theophagist0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That doesn't remotely address my point. My point is you're wasting your breath and you're weakening the community with useless platitude.
