You're not wrong to want to write code your way. Not everyone is meant to conform to the absurdities you describe. Honestly, I don't know how you tolerated it for this long.
Write code your way for yourself. Find a way to turn a profit on your own. Solve problems that create passive income for you.
Being yourself is perfectly valid. I'm not sure therapy is healthy if conformity is the desired outcome. Others might have ways of putting you in boxes and providing shifting diagnoses. That's fine. Ignore it and do your own thing.
Earn your own money, your own way. Embrace your eccentricities. Use them to your advantage. When you are successful, people will look to you as a standard or model for correct behavior. Therapy won't be recommended.
- overitthrowaway 5y agoThank you, I needed to hear this. > I'm not sure therapy is healthy if conformity is the desired outcome. It's taken me an embarrassingly long time to realise this. Somehow I always knew it in the back of my mind, a sort of quiet rebellion, but the "logical" part of my mind (actually the little voice of society) always took the reins. > Earn your own money, your own way. Embrace your eccentricities. Use them to your advantage. This is something I've been dreaming of for years, but actually following through on it is difficult. In my experience conquering the self-doubt has been the hardest part, but after that there's still the hurdles of finding customers.
