I don't see why that's hard to believe. I'm very good at selling myself and my skillset but I'm deathly afraid of girls.

Yes but look at how many great people accomplished things before they were 30. I'm nowhere near that! Look at Ryan Holiday, he was the director of marketing at American Apparel at …

I'm not "incredibly" smart. Top 5% sure, but there are people on here who have accomplished way more than me by my age and are way way smarter than me when it comes to programming.…

Read this a while ago. It's a great article

I did this for a week, it worked quite well. However, I'm definitely not a morning person

At the end of the day, you're comment here has more truth to it than anything else in this thread. And it's one of the reasons I indulge in self-loathing more than I should

I used my salary as a way of getting people more hooked into this thread. If I was sitting on my couch all day doing nothing, I think I would have gotten less replies. By showing t…

I don't agree with that. I have programmers that come in and do a solid days work every single day. It might not be the best code, but I see them working on it all day long. It suc…

I feel like I could have written this a few months ago. I tried something similar but then fell right back in my normal routine. Not saying it won't work for you. I've just become …

I saw a school psych when I was in college and all it really did was piss me off. The guy spent 30 minutes asking me these types of questions except even more generic and then afte…

Have more sex is easier said than done... Also, I'm definitely going to get a therapist after this. Looked around and found some area ones. I'll make an appointment "later" :)

When I have no obligations, I just sit around all day and watch TV until I get a headache. Than I usually sleep a lot and eventually I end up either writing, coding, or masturbatin…

Yes, I'm curious too

I usually am at the office for 80+ hours a week. It could be burn out, but even when I reduce down to 40 hours I basically cut everything I accomplish in half. Somehow my brain rea…

But at the same time, it seems unless there's a physiological difference in people like me, we should be able to condition ourselves into working more. What I'm doing with my extra…

I ran a freelancing company for about 2 years. I did a really shitty job managing clients and would often just ignore their calls. In fact, I'd feel better right away when I ignore…

I think I've had this with everything though. Even things I really enjoy I find myself procrastinating about

Truth. I find myself doing a lot more mentoring than menteeing. I haven't found very many older smarter people in my community. That said, I'm way behind a lot of you guys on HN in…

Unfortunately, this usually results in a slower pace than I can stand. The guys on my team are all young too 19-26, and frankly I'm more knowledgeable than most of them. I really h…

This might be related. I have horrible approach anxiety when it comes to girls. When I'm in a convo, I usually do pretty well and multiple people have told me I'm good with girls. …

When I take addy I just find myself trying to procrastinate even more. Except then it's concentrated procrastination

Maybe. But I fear taking more on will only be more detrimental

Has any of this shit actually worked for people and made a huge difference? I look at people like Kevin Systrom or Mark Cuban and from what it looks like they never had these issue…

Hm, yeah I think I have that to. I can't ever finish anything because then what??

This is my biggest fear. Having the same problems now at 40. I look at my dad and as much as I swore I'd never let myself have his same work ethic (push hard, than go at 1/4 pace f…
