Most of your problems are due to undiagnosed ADHD.
Do not ever start that PhD, and keep on passing on shit you are not interested in. Especially when others say they are too good of an opportunity to pass. Otherwise keep going, little dude!
Currently doing a phd and wishing I could go back in time and tell myself not to fucking do it. They really get you with that opportunity bullshit but the whole thing is a fucking pyramid scheme imo.
It feels like it is, nicely coupled with the worst dependency on a superior I have ever experienced in my life. And this whole working for the collective knowledge of the community is bs to, including double-blind processes in paper reviews. You got to make sure the reviewers know who you are, and they make sure you know who they are (“how about you cite these 3 papers that are super relevant and just by coincidence come from the same author?”). Anyway, all the best to you!
Your shyness is a choice, just start saying yes to things that scare you and it will get easier.
The moment I worked that out life got a lot better for me. I figured it out not too far past 18 but I wonder what relationship I would have with my hometown if I figured it out sooner.
Jump, do it
invest in bitcoins
Oh man, I could have bought so many Bitcoins back when it started and they were worth like $0.0009. Ah well.
Back then there was a website that would gift you some.
I bought about $50 at the time, but didn’t hold on to it because why. At some point I checked and still had a little bit of a balance, used it to build a nice computer in 2013.
Could’ve paid cash for a very nice house if I hadn’t touched it at all, but most people weren’t thinking that way and it was originally meant to be used.
I had bitcoins when it was worthless and lost the wallet they were on. Would have been a decent amount had I taken it seriously. So yeah, I agree with you!

- If someone is willing to cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you too
- Stay away from cocaine
- compound interest
- Delayed gratification is usually worth it
Your resiliency matters more than your fear of making a mistake, and you’ll never cover any ground if you can’t take a step.
There’s a book called “chasing failure” by Ryan Leek that covers this really well. When you reframe what failure and success look like to you it opens up a lot of opportunities you’d never know were there!
I’ll have to look that one up, thank you!
"You’re not lazy or stupid, you have a rare, extreme case of MTHFR. Get on a high dose of methylfolate, and as soon as Cymbalta becomes available, get on that too.
Also, when you meet [name redacted], run. He’s going to use you and spit you out "
Drop out of college to enter the workforce as you were not properly prepared for college and you still don’t know what career you want. Don’t join the military. Save up for a car.

Do NOT enlist in the military. They will use you, leave you mentally and emotionally fucked, and leave you by the side of the road when they’re done.
You aren’t lazy, you aren’t undisciplined, you just have ADHD. get that shit diagnosed and treated or you’ll lose your full ride scholarship.
A desk job is fine, and you’re good at programming. Don’t be afraid to major in something computer related.
BTC is a scam but buy a lot of it as early as possible, it’ll peak around 65k. God doesn’t exist, the republicans are fucking ghouls

This is your last chance to admit your feelings before you drift apart and you never talk to her again.
Also, be nicer to grandma and spend more time with her, you have far less time than you’ve convinced yourself you have.
You have OCD and are on the autism spectrum. Your mom is kind of narcissist, set strong boundaries with her. You’re strong enough to live on your own. Don’t stop educating yourself. You can handle graduate school.
