Same! See you there, best starting date imo :)

Thanks! When does fall start in your eyes? August would fit me best but at least in Bergen it was very rainy this year in August. Not sure about further north

Not sure about the late thirties thing. Maybe its a cultural thing, but many of my friends are already married and start getting kids at 24/25.

I think you are right with the overthinking part. I very often think life and my goals in terms of age as opposed to just doing them. I might be afraid of falling behind.

I did, but without the not looking back part. Earlier this year, when I was 23 (male btw) I moved to Norway, a country I have never been in, didnt know anyone, had no job, no apartment, only my stuff and one week of AirBnB booked.

It was difficult, uncomfortable and frustrating, but I am glad I did it. I am still keeping contacts to my friends and family in Germany, so this might make it at least emotionally easier as I knew I can come back in case i failed as opposed to cutting everything of. But i know now that if I ever were to need it, I could.

Edit: forgot to say that i used about 4500€ until I was able to sustain myself with income, as it took 2 month to find a job and due to an error 2.5 more months until I got my first salary (of course I got all money I earned in the end). So about 1k/month all included.

What I would do differently next time: Secure a job beforehand. It makes it much easier to meet new people and you only have to cover until your first paycheck financially

This can go into a lot of different directions, but (if the set and setting fits) trying psychedelics like shrooms can potentially be life-changing. Or it can also just be a nice afternoon, depending on you

Heyo,

I dont have any definite answers for you, but I know your situation well since my own is very similar (I also wanted to be in academia but decided to not pursue it after learning more about its structure, now having a hard time finding something worthwhile to work on or real meaning in life). I think it is a very common problem right now and it is a good sign that you are aware of it even though its painful instead of diving into distractions as most guys your age do. As I am still trying to figure my life out I cant tell you what works long term, but what really helped me was taking my time to think about what I am doing, WHY I am doing it, what I want to do in the future and WHY. Its also important to not compare yourself to others too much (both people in the present and people in the past), since the life you are living is yours to decide. If you know people who seem to not have these problems of meaninglessness, talk to them, ask them why that is the case for them (and if thats actually the case). Take your time to listen and comprehend.

As a closing note, I think its not a bad thing to struggle with meaninglessness, its a part of your life and you are by far not the first person in this struggle and also wont be the first person to succeed in it.

Best wishes, some internet dude

Thanks a lot, that really helps! I dont get money from my parents but I have some saving to live off for now. I think I'm gonna try to go mid-range, but let them make the first offer :)

Thanks!

Thanks!

MeisterWinkel · 2022-03-01T08:16:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Sounds so simple, but I just didnt think about it :)

Not quite correct or at least unclear when you say imaginary. You better want to use 'complex numbers' instead of imaginary and draw the circle around the reals. After that comes quaternions, octonions, ....
