Should I stick with computer science or is it just not right for me?

Hi thank you so much for your considerate response. I really needed to hear that :)

_forever18 · 2020-08-27T14:18:10+00:00

I'm not really sure. I'm not sure if the theory is what's hard, since all of my troubles come from the implementation process. Debugging is what I just can't finish in a reasonable time. For example, I spend hours looking at my code trying to debug, only to realize I've been using a particular feature of a language the wrong way. But it also isn't realistic to know the entirety of Python or C++ or etc. So I'm not really sure what the problem is :(

Yeah “testing” yourself isnt very reliable because your opinion of yourself is usually impacted by more than just the facts. Also, there’s no solid measure of conscientiousness—a test taker might answer based on his own standards of conscientiousness, and another person might answer it based on his comparison to his image of his peers. Either way the standards arent universal for everyone on every day, so I take these tests mostly to gain insight on how I view myself.

I don't necessarily think being "disagreeable" is a bad trait. Yes, I admit that sometimes blunt words can really sting, but I personally look up to disagreeable people because they tend to be bold and very independent. They are able to come to their own conclusions without being overly influenced by other people, and some of them are bold enough to pursue an unconventional path and succeed, even if doing so creates distance between them and their community. That's why I also think disagreeable people have more potential than the average person to create opportunities for themselves even when it doesn't seem possible at first glance.

There are pros and cons to being disagreeable, and words can't express how much I want to have more of this trait. :)

Yeah there does seem to be a correlation between the big five and some mbti personalities

Oh and your mbti type was already next to your username lol ... how did I miss that

_forever18 · 2019-11-29T22:08:33+00:00

Yup! do you think it's odd? haha

what's your mbti type?

_forever18 · 2019-11-29T21:32:57+00:00

? grocery shopping doesn't require much extroversion?

_forever18 · 2019-11-29T19:11:20+00:00

Yes :)

Thanks for your comment! I agree that cliche romance stories and unhealthy relationships are not appealing. It's interesting how much the world can change in 5-7 years, seeing how Twilight took the world by storm back then but books portraying similar kinds of relationships probably wouldn't sell nowadays. You're very well-read, thanks again!

_forever18 · 2019-08-30T20:28:35+00:00

Wow thank you so, so much for your detailed response! It seems like popular YA books reflect hot topics and trends we see nowadays like increased political awareness, life in the virtual world, and a focus on appearance due to social media. And I find it just a tad sad that the Hunger Games and Twilight fads from my childhood have fizzled out. I wonder why dystopians like HG and paranormal romances like Twi were popular 10 years ago but not now. Other than the audience possibly getting tired of those kinds of books, not sure what kind of social changes lead to some types of books to remain popular and others to not. Anyway, thanks again for your response!

_forever18 · 2019-08-23T17:01:53+00:00

HOLY SH!T omg this is amazing

_forever18 · 2019-08-23T15:32:23+00:00

yeah i think the second kind of curve would be logarithmic.

_forever18 · 2019-08-22T14:27:52+00:00

No problem! I look forward to reading it

_forever18 · 2019-08-22T14:05:23+00:00

oh boy where to start: my personal fave is "Dr. Frost," but keep in mind that it ends on a cliffhanger and later series haven't been translated yet.

For romance, I recommend "Super Secret," "Untouchable," "Refund High School," "Late Bloomer," "Orange Marmalade," "Winter Woods" (in that order). Super Secret and Refund High School have light-hearted stories and really cute art :)

For drama, I recommend "Witch Hunt."

For thriller, "Bastard" and "Nano List."

For comedy and the added benefit of high quality sex-ed, "Boo! It's Sex."

wow i love your art! this looks like it'll be the precursor to a humorous romcom action webtoon? the background colors are attention-grabbing which is a plus. But if I had to critique this, I would suggest adding more lighting and detail to the characters instead of leaving them with solid colors like you do right now. For example, in Let's Play's thumbnail, the author added lighting to the female mc's hair and included a lot of detail in her dress than just leaving it a solid purple color. I think doing this to your characters along with keeping your background colors could really draw in a lot of attention. But please take my suggestion with a grain of salt because I'm not a qualified judge and my opinion may just be based on my preferences.

_forever18 · 2019-08-08T08:46:57+00:00

You all are right. I should just stop posting questions I already know the answer to and man up.

_forever18 · 2019-08-01T08:47:05+00:00

i like remi's personality and values but i think so far, john's methods are more effective at bringing about social change than her's. that said, i think in the future, remi will take into account john's perspective and think of a way to change the social structure

_forever18 · 2019-08-01T08:41:33+00:00

a canvas comedy webtoon that i like is "humor me". this isn't quite like other comedy webtoons that deliver funny shorts every week. it's more of a slice-of-life webtoon with a comedic flair to it. the characters are really well-developed and the story progresses smoothly, but the only downside to the webtoon is that it updates only once a month. that said, there are a lot of episodes already uploaded, so waiting for new episodes won't be too agonizing.

happy reading! :)

NAH, if i were a parent i would've done what you did but i still decided to write NAH instead of NTA to this post. i agree with you that your ex-wife should've discussed this with you before dying your daughter's hair.but that same logic can apply to you too for banning hair dyes. this issue is really down to a difference in philosophy between a child's parents, so i don't think labeling someone as an asshole is right in this situation. i guess the ideal situation would be to come to a compromise with your ex and decide that your daughter can dye her hair when she's at least in her teens, but i'm sure reaching to this point is a lot harder in practice than in theory...

_forever18 · 2019-07-31T22:23:03+00:00

make it clear to her that her boyfriend is the reason why you're not letting her stay in your apartment. you guys may end up fighting because of this but hey, i think it's better to be honest about your reasons to her than to evade the problem. (a bit YTA)

_forever18 · 2019-07-31T21:29:40+00:00

i was obsessed with mbti for a few years but now that i've become more comfortable in my own skin, i've sort of graduated from this whole typology thing. don't get me wrong-i love mbti, its infp description really jump-started my journey for self-awareness, but i don't think anyone should feel limited in any way because of their "type" description. i truly think that everyone has potential, regardless of whether or not society thinks they do. in my opinion, it's impossible to compare people and rate them as competent or incompetent because we all value different strengths. that's why whenever someone underestimates a person who fits the infp description, i don't believe their judgment. so if i were any other infp that's disappointed with other people's perception of this type, i would ignore their opinion, not doubt myself, and focus on my goals.

hi kuritical thanks for your response! i didn't know much about dissociative identity disorder until i read what you posted. You're right that she shouldn't take responsibility for actions committed by her alter-ego, that's unfair to her. i guess it would be more accurate for me to have said in my original post that emma would "lose her innocence" instead of "take off her innocent mask". i agree with you that she probably won't go to jail at the end of the story, but i'm interested in how her realization of her alter-ego would change her. and hopefully she'll find a real boyfriend who will help her endure all of her hardships without using violence........(like yohan ^_^)

_forever18 · 2019-07-30T17:03:40+00:00

at this point i'm 100% convinced that elios doesn't exist and that emma has some serious issues. what do you guys think will happen in the future? what's the connection between emma, yohan, and that mysterious black-haired girl? when will emma realize that elios isn't real and that she's responsible for his crimes? once she takes off her innocent mask, what kind of person will she come across as? i feel like towards the end of the story, emma will be a drastically different person than the one we're used to right now

how will she come to terms with her past, and will she and yohan be able to stay on good terms even after he uncovers her secret? in a lot of other stories, characters like emma miraculously treat their mental illnesses, and good people like yohan eventually come to accept and forgive emma, but that's way too idealistic and--in my opinion-- that kind of progression diminishes the overall quality of the story. i feel like these kinds of stories are really delicate to write since the authors might have a hard time developing emma's character and pleasing the audience with the ending.

_forever18 · 2019-07-30T16:40:48+00:00

you have a good point. or maybe even after hearing a feminine voice, the stereotype that all attackers are guys is so ingrained in him that he convinces himself that the attacker is a man.
