What should I do with my life?

2 points·lost··13 comments

I can code, that's pretty much all I do but I'm unhappy. I've got an entire life to life to live, I simply can't give up so I'm going to have to do something with it. What should I do?

Do something else! I find that the more you deviate from the coding mindset, the more you find a need to get back to it. Push coding away until you find yourself passionate enough about something that it draws you back.

I guess I should, I can't really think what though. any ideas?

Find

1)Someone you love and you would die for

2)Something you are passionate about(such as building cool useful things) - when people say good things about it, you would have found what to do with your life

1) I hate myself too much to let anybody close to me, I am working on this though. 2) the kind of things I code I have been reasearching for years and working hard but nobody seems to care, everything has already been done before too.

Go live somewhere else, far away. I learned a lot, and grew a great deal.

That's what I did as well. I think it's the best thing to do when you are depressed and bored with your life: try another one! You can't start from scratch, but if you switch country, friends, job, etc. the result can be interesting.

ok, reading.

What you shouldn't do is use the answers here as a means of living your life.

I wouldn't blindly follow malicious advice but really I do need to find somehow to snap out of this so I value what others might say.

Find people you look up to and then do what they did.

if you learned how to program, you can learn other stuff

thank you for all your commments so far.
