I have add, i can't spend ore than ten minutes on any topic without medication, and i currently have none.

>>12525016

More of being restless and inattentive, coupled with general anxiety from math. i'm scared of what comes next when i finally understand all of this, if i ever, do, or if i am even able to

I really hope you mean something like "non-commutative rings" or "representation theory of Lie algebras" when you say "algebra".

Also 23. I don’t even see a reason studying or working for a hedonistic system with enormous obesity rates and a mentally ill populace as it destroys nature and lets people into itself from all over the world to make them mentally ill obese people too. Still continue for a job where part time is enough so I can buy a secluded home somewhere. Sometimes I think about moving to China too.

if you want to avoid obesity, move to literally anywhere that isn't the USA. I'm not sure why you singled China out, when China is easily one of the worst places you can move to if you're not an ethnic Chinese.
I'll suggest Ecuador; dirt cheap and people are great (according to another US expat who lived there for 20+ years). Or perhaps Cambodia.

what makes you think you're too old to learn anything new, is it because you failed to learn something once? I'd suggest you reflect on that experience and how it shaped your perception.

The fact of the matter is, unless you're actually mentally retarded, you have 20 more years of being able to learn whatever you want easily and another 20 years after that where it still can be done with more effort.

I actually know the secret, I should have majored in math (60/40 gender ratio) instead of CS (absolute sausage fest). I learned jack shit from CS classes in college because I was a complete autist in HS, writing compilers and such.

No anon. That’s not the secret. You would have just been an autistic obsessing over complex analysis or something else in your dorm.

>is it because you failed to learn something once?
It's because I've failed at everything I tried in the last 5 years. I've been enrolled ~10 degree programs (I've lost count). I can never stick with anything. I keep trying to learn things on my own, but I always just quit once things get hard. I can't do it anymore.
>The fact of the matter is, unless you're actually mentally retarded, you have 20 more years of being able to learn whatever you want easily
I really hope you're right anon but I think I may be a midwit, which makes everything so much harder

be comfortable with failure. Fail hard, fail often. The more you fail the more you learn. The most successful people are those who fail the most.

What's up with being tire from work? In uni I would have 8 hour lecture days and I had energy to go to the gym and do some studying. Meanwhile after 8 hours of work I feel drained (physically and mentally) even though mentally it is less demanding than uni. What gives brehs? Is there a demon that just sucks my energy at work or what?

Just do math.
Look around Wikipedia for a topic that seems interesting then grab a book from the references are find a recommended introduction to the `subject` book and do the hard work of proving every theorem and calculating. Rinse and repeat while striving to make clearer and concise computation and arguments. I guarantee you will improve to the point where tackling a new topic won't feel like a massive undertaking, and you will have long seen all the common "tricks" of which there really arn't many.
