This is a fairly hard thing for me to do, because every faction i have been part of or tried to be loyal, to have limits on what beliefs can be questioned and what are not open to be experimented with. There comes a point where i disagree and have trouble stopping myself from experimenting. So loneliness is not a problem for me. But i have a very limited/narrow interest in being important. To some extent the admiration of peers feels good, but not much.
So at this point, i find myself a little lost as to what do i want to move forward towards. Made worse, by i have trouble just enjoying when am not sure what am working towards.
UPDATE: Eeks,sorry if it's turned to a ramble.
- kstenerud 15y agoIt sounds like you're comfortable as a loner then. That gives you immense possibility, but also makes it harder to choose. My advice: Just pick something interesting and go with it. If it doesn't work out, pick something else. Fear of failure is worst in people who haven't failed yet, and that fear will impede you far more than actual failure ever could (I've had a few spectacular failures in my lifetime, to the point of being reduced to the clothes on my back, and each failure made me more fearless). You don't need the respect of others when you're making your own path.
