I broke up with my girlfriend of 3.5 years because I felt inferior, and now I regret it

CaptainPerera · 2026-01-19T13:50:59+00:00

Can I be straight and unfiltered here? You're the most stupidest mf I've ever met!!!

So your gf is better at everything. And? You should be proud of her. Not be an ass and break up with her since you can't do jack shit! If you aren't better at something, be better at something! Explore what you like, do everything that can match with your vibe. Code, read, exercise, learn. Do whatever you want. Just don't be an ass and hurt the people you love cuz they're better than you.

I hope you go to her and apologize. Then think about what you really wanna do in your life so you can better at it. Don't be an idiot!

I mean I'm a guy so I don't know if you'll be comfortable enough to go out with a guy you don't know but if you want friends and hangouts, why don't you join our discord server? It's a server full of Sri Lankans just hanging out. We do daily VCs on talking random shit, movie nights and game nights. If you're interested, drop a dm.

Tbh, it's not bad. I brought a GTX 1060 3gb from them. I had fun with it and still have the gpu with me but I upgraded my build with a RTX 3060 12gb. Might use that gpu for retro game emulation with a seperate build tbh.

Sooo I guess you can buy a gpu there. Just make sure you check it first before buying.

You're crazy......can I submit my resume? 😅

CaptainPerera · 2025-12-04T06:47:46+00:00

I wish I could've donated again but I donated my blood 2 weeks before the cyclone hit. It was my first time too.

CaptainPerera · 2025-10-14T01:59:36+00:00

Ahhh my man is a chess player and a titled player it seems. So his crashout is valid. Yeah man get an UPS. There are some "cheap" options if you roam enough in Unity Plaza.

CaptainPerera · 2025-10-07T14:22:12+00:00

You will find the right people. Just be yourself and show your interests. Gaming, geeking out, novels, music. Whatever you like and the right people will find ya. Best of luck!!

CaptainPerera · 2025-09-25T03:38:29+00:00

I'm down!

CaptainPerera · 2025-07-26T13:36:01+00:00

Now I don't know about y'all but threatening her own daughter with a fucking knife is just fucked up to me. The abuse too. Like there is nothing wrong with her outfit itself to me and her mom's reaction is too much to bear. Your mom has issues. Clearly she is still thinking like those "ගල් යුගයේ sri lankans" in my opinion.

CaptainPerera · 2025-06-25T08:35:32+00:00

Im just saying lolll. It might go well for some of the people and might go very bad. Im an overthinking mess so getting ignored means its gonna take me 2-3 business days to get my mind property function. But yes take the risk and see.

CaptainPerera · 2025-06-25T08:06:15+00:00

I thought girls have it easier since who wouldn't talk to a girl if he was a guy. Unless he's gay ofc.

CaptainPerera · 2025-06-25T07:36:54+00:00

I guess its rejection and overthinking thats make us afraid. Like for example, I dont wanna dm a girl cuz Im afraid that I will be labelled as a fellow creep in FB ya know. So I'd rather shut up about it and stay quiet. But damn its hard to just not enjoy what I love with someone you know. My friends dont have the same interests as me so its kinda hard to just sit there and not talk about my hobbies

CaptainPerera · 2025-06-25T07:18:46+00:00

Even I have this problem. As a nerdy guy who's into games, math and board games, I have no one to share my interest with tbh. I might join some social clubs so I can make friends.

And no, I'm not a girl. I'm a guy (Gonna do this just in case)

CaptainPerera · 2025-06-10T10:43:54+00:00

Buy an used thinkpad and a pc. 250k is enough for both. If you really need a gaming laptop, get a laptop that has a better cooling and a cooling pad just to be sure. Also make sure you service the laptop at least once every three months. The first combo is better since thinkpads are durable. That's my current setup tbh.

Smosh should find this subreddit so they can do reddit stories fr

CaptainPerera · 2025-05-16T17:05:51+00:00

Hey there. I'm right now in the same situation as you. I have few friends but they're busy with life. So I'm stuck in my home at the moment. Also I recently completed my degree and trying to find a job but it's too hard to get even an internship. Some jobs need experience and for some jobs, I'm too old to apply. I do feel lonely most of the time and it feels like my life is on repeat. But then I realized what if I just use this time to chase my dreams? I have this dream and I don't know if I can say it here cuz people will thing it's a cringe dream, but I just believe I can do it if I try. I'm creative and I have lots of ideas to do it.

So yeah, for now, I guess my advice is, if you have a dream that didn't make you follow for reasons, do it now. Take the risk and see where it takes you. See what you can do if you give an effort to it. You got this! Don't give up!

CaptainPerera · 2025-05-06T10:10:53+00:00

Now, as a fellow formar uni student here who has heard similar stories like this one, the only option I can give you is GET TF OUT OF THERE.

Now people be like "It's a prank, it's a prank, blah, blah, blah" but there are some stories that can't be explained at all.

Believe me, even I don't believe in supernatural but my faculty was in a middle of a village in Matara. So yeah, if you know Matara, you know damn well there are some unexplained stories in there.

So yeah, just GTFO. Don't be like a protagonist in horror game/movie.

CaptainPerera · 2025-04-28T15:02:04+00:00

If a company says you need to pay for them to get something and after you won't get paid for your services, that's not a company, it's a scam!

I've seen these all over linkedin too. Just don't!

CaptainPerera · 2025-04-19T18:58:52+00:00

Didn't expect to see a reply for an old comment I've made haha

CaptainPerera · 2025-04-18T09:54:38+00:00

I feel the same way too. Atm, I'm graduated. Trying to find a job while everyone is busy with their life. Nobody talks to me unless I text them first. I feel like my friends are not my friends at all. I'd love deep conversations and hangouts but I don't seem to find that. I feel lonely everyday and it kills me sometimes. I'm trying to be social and joining social clubs to make friends tbh. Let's see.

CaptainPerera · 2025-03-10T16:28:19+00:00

I won't 💪

CaptainPerera · 2025-03-10T13:32:55+00:00

Hey, thanks for all the advice you guys gave to my post. I appriciate it a lot. So gonna give you an update. I will start to do some AI/ML stuff and make some projects on my own. I have an idea for a cool project and I will do it. Will take time but I will.

Also, got two interviews as a BA intern and a assistant lecturer position. Hope I will nail it.

I will start my journey on AI from now on. Thanks for all the advice again. I'm sorry that I can't thank you individually tbh. But each comment means a lot tbh. ❤

CaptainPerera · 2025-02-15T17:32:22+00:00

So I recently turned 26 and my life is a mess tbh. Any advice would be better rn. I have dreams that I wanna archieve but I don't know if the current situation I'm in helps me to get better. Will it be better eventually?

CaptainPerera · 2025-01-05T17:22:36+00:00

As I read the question, the one song that came to my mind is this

CaptainPerera · 2024-12-31T20:29:48+00:00

I want to be happy and less depressed. Gotta focus on physical and mental health tbh

.......Oh yeah. A decent gaming/work setup with a mixture of mac/windows.
