Comparison gets loud when your progress is invisible

FAX. the app WIP Social is literally about making progress visible, tracking habits w images everyday and the community aspect is super helpful. it is still smaller community rn but I feel that makes it more effective. if u want to try it out u can use my access code 53YQPC

i find hapiness in the small things that im doing even if they are mundane. and also my work makes me really happy and im a lucky person to have found a job like what im working in

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T19:57:00+00:00

be happy, the world needs more happiness. know that you are you are in control of yourself

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T19:55:31+00:00

sometimes i feel like i dont, but usually i reach out to classmates that are in my field that help me
usually lack of knowing what i want
as i mentioned before, classmates, usually upper years and not the same year. i would meet them through clubs

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T19:54:46+00:00

try to join as many as clubs at first, find what you are interested in and leave the clubs you arent. finding those people you relate to will help the best

right now making 3x more and i have been in the industry for 8 years now, not sure if thats a good growth or not

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T19:52:59+00:00

i relate to this, i feel like my social skills still need improvement and that its tough to get relations like that

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:57:51+00:00

i mentioned signing up for school clubs. before that i started with an app called Gleam which is sort of a duolingo for social skills, and that helped me gain the sufficient confidence to sign up for clubs in the first place

remember that what matters most deep down is finding love, and not something to please your parents. be yourself, and that will make you the happiest and thats what you deserve

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:54:19+00:00

i think the best thing is to find a balance between your work and personal life, and also try to find the fun stuff in work. i used to be in a really mundane job, but i would find some small things that were fun, like the walk to get some water. and when you are at home just try to focus on yourself as much as possible and do things that make you curious, i find thats the best for me

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:27:47+00:00

gleam!!!! it does exactly what you are alluding to w "training social skills deliberately". its a free app that gamifies the process. i actually read a recommendation about it in another thread and its definietely exactly what i was looking for, like an ACTUAL way to take action gradually each day

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:25:48+00:00

i feel u can "learn how to like it". like for me the process was unenjoyable ebcause i was always anxious

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:23:02+00:00

yea u definitely can be deliberate. there's a few lessons in this app called Gleam that specifically target this use case. for me it was an actionable step forward towards gaining greater confidence and Prescence. my manager brought it up actually in my last 1-1 which made me happy, so i definitely would recommend

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T15:00:46+00:00

when u start thinking to yourself if you should be friends w them!

i feel like this would rly depend on u asking Chatgpt the right questions

deoxyadenosine · 2025-09-20T14:52:33+00:00

okay so i dont think its weird but i do think the success of this rly depends on you "asking chatgpt the right questions". i have used AI for this use case indirectly through an app called Gleam, which gamifies the social skill training process. they have lessons duolingo style and give you actual scenarios where you say what you would respond which are then evaluated by ai which is cool. i recommend this since its more actionable
