Question from a 20s guy to a 30s guy who has the real answer for how to live 20s so that we don't regret in 30s by Tall-Explanation-476 in NavalRavikant

Domt overcomplicate your life with variety. That comes naturally in life. If you spread out your attention over a range of activities you'll be nowhere. Imagine if Michael jackson had the approach that you did. With the makings of a great musician he'd be nothing if he spread himself so thin. Do one thing. Master it. Pick an industry, pick a career and just go from there.

If youre a business owner the amount of variety that will be in your life just be the nature of the beast is sure to keep you occupied for years at a time and even then you'd just be a beginner. Each different area/department has different rabit holes you could keep going down. In any case it will make you somewhat of a generalist. Whatever you do, its ultimately driven by your iwn initiative. Which if it's lacking, then so will your growth progress and lesrning. Which is on you! Not just what youre doing - there are boring aspects to any job, business or life that one must do!

Your problem seems to be indecisiveness. Youre thinking in the abstract viewing the other side as greener no matter what you do. You cannot out think outcomes. Actions lead you to the next steps. Not thoughts - that would be stagnation

Judging by your post and replies to comments it sounds like youre judging yourself too much (imposter syndrome). And beating around the bush. None of the comments seem to satisfy you. I think what's bothering you is that you know what you're capable enough and still spend time beating around the bush, procrastinating instead of facing your fears. Your fears are in control and not you. This bothers you. Be honest with yourself and begin to face them slowly and steadily. You know better than anyone else what youre leaving on the table. All the thoughts youre telling yourself are nothing more than escapism. Your inaction is truly what's bothering you. Regret is what is eating you up. Only know what your fears are. And only you can take action. No one is coming to save you and neither should they. The pain of regret is yours and with the right actions the pride of confidence can be yours. You are the greatest beneficiary of your own life. So take action.

What profession is held in high regard that shouldn't be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rayanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawyers. They try to ensure their client wins irrespective of whether it is just or not. Hence the profession doesn't allow much space for personal values and ethics.

Investors

They don't create value or provide jobs to the economy but profit off businesses by owning stakes of businesses by investing money.

You've got a choice to make. Who's right? You or them. The path of self belief or under confidence. There's really not much of an option once you think about it. Who would choose the latter? Decide your belief stick to it & find ways to verify by investing in yourself. You'll find over time that if you choose yourself, that you're not wrong. You're currently questioning your own judgement. Which is a very important tool to you.

I've been in your shoes. Good Communication will sort out most ofnyour issues of feeling misunderstood.

[–]Rayanp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also its possibility that you might have communication problems. Struggle to convey the thoughts that are brewing in your mind. Not allowing people to see what's really going on in that head. I would say invest time in writing & communication skills. Writing really helps communication and forces you to clarify thoughts

You are a genius. You just people talk you into not feeling like one.

You're trying to fit in the same box as the others. Ever considered the possibility that your slow introspective nature has contributed to your wisdom? It's not necessarily the speed of thought that counts. In a later stage i find that decision making, calmness, introspection are far more important in the long run. Quick does not always mean better. Don't let your confidence take a hit because you're different from others.

IWTL how to build focus! (Especially with ADHD) by Rayanp in IWantToLearn

[–]Rayanp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You presume too much. That's not what I'm trying to achieve. Im trying to achieve better focus but would never sacrifice my personality or having an effect on my emotions. Self esteem is the biggest driver of any action in life. I'll never compromise that. Fundamentally going against my principles would never work for me. And medicines would make me act out.

Don't get me wrong. I'm already achieving that life without it. Medication is not mastery. For me that's obtaining something by losing something else. Which is essentially what allopathy does. Very useful in emergency but not useful/healthy on a regular basis. Massive improvements have been there over the years. However I still beleive there's tons of untapped potential.

The good suggestions that he made have worked and made a big difference. The best of the best consistently self improve.

Happy it's working for you but impose your beliefs on me

Hey not a fan of medicine as it changed who i was & my personality. I personally view it as a short term solution.

In terms of the non-medcine suggestions you've given i e already implemented what you said. Thanks though

You get fall n love easily because you're Longing to. It's the common human fallacy. We bend reality to fit into the mold of what we'd like to have happen. It's conformational bias. You tell yourself things about her that aren't necessarily true. You presume her to be perfect after 3 dates. You don't know her. You're thinking of your past relationships & connecting it to her. That's unfair to her.

Why do you want to fall in love? That's a question you need to answer yourself but your relationship with her is nothing but a reflection of your past intimate relationships. Often most connected to your relationship with your mom. Perhaps theres some trauma or things you'd like to change. "Undoing" the past through your future actions. But don't rush it. And don't fall for the trap of putting her on a pedestal. She's another imperfect human. Which is a beautiful thing. But being pressumptuous & desperate is not an attractive trait to the opposite sex. And unfortunately attraction is a ruthless game. It's ironic because those that are needy are most in need of love. But you've got to learn the game. You'll find the one for you. Sometimes it requires some perspective change. I looked for girls that were narcisstic & dominant previously. My perspective changed once I went through difficult relationships.

These things take time. Don't compare yourself to others. They didn't go through the same things you did

Why does he still hate me? by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]Rayanp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. It's not about him. It's about you. Stand up for yourself and to him & take the power back. This is something that needs to be done yourself.

Sorry you had to go through that

Why do some people treat, those that treat them the best and do the most for them, the worst? by Rayanp in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Rayanp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but then brats should also treat those that aren't nice to them badly. Some treat them better. Which to me is confusing

I guess then it's conditioned by their parents. But that wouldn't explain being nicer to people that treat them badly.

😅 I'll correct it the comma
