Thanks for your answers. I never thought about the fact that my mind won't learn something it doesn't need.

How do you learn from the books that you read? I personally take notes in my commonplace book but the issue is that I quickly forget the content, so I have to go back to my notes. I would like to be able to remember and understand more from what I'm reading.

Of course it comes from trauma for most achievers. I used to put pressure on myself and overwork only to prove to myself that I was worthy.

Don't work 10 hours per day if there's no reason for. If you work in a job that requires to work 10 hours per day, quit this job. If you really want something or are passionate with something then you will work 10 hours per day without difficulties.

This is the place for Linux porn: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ People share their custom *NIX (mostly Linux) configuration.

No! I'm on Fedora but I used Arch and Ubuntu in the past.

The Nintendo Switch can run Crysis.

Linux is great for developers. It's my main operating system and I have been using it for more than 10 years now, I don't need anything else. I almost never use Windows or OSX.

Spiritual Reset I watched most of Leo's videos between 2015 to 2021 including the ones on spirituality, but I forgot a lot of things. I forgot a lot of things because I was going through a life crisis between 2022 to most of 2025. During this period, I preferred not to check this forum nor to watch more videos from him. These spirituality videos were too advanced for me; I believed in the concepts but I didn't experience them, so they contributed to a deterioration of my mental health. I had a lot of ego; I felt superior to know about these things where I'm now more at peace. I also feel that since Leo started to take psychedelics, it's more difficult to follow him as he can experience things that I can't. So... after a few years off, I decided to restart spirituality from zero. I watched some of Leo's videos on spirituality for beginners and started meditating again. I think that it's a great start. - 13/12/2025

I feel much better now than when I wrote this post. Thanks for your answers.

This was helpful, thank you.

My Struggles with Social Interactions Social interactions have always been the number one difficulty in my life. I turn blank when I have to interact with people. It's not that I have things to say that I don't say because I'm shy, but it's that nothing comes to my mind. I'm not instantaneous; I take time before I react, and I have to think about what to say before I talk. That's why I avoid conflicts with loud arguments because I simply don't know what to say and feel like an idiot. Interacting with people demands a lot of effort from me. I feel like I have to play a role, to imitate others; it feels unnatural. When I am authentic, I don't say that much because I don't know what to say. I'm often afraid of being unmasked, that people discover who I really am: a socially awkward, non-talkative person. I have always been extremely quiet since I was a kid. I remember when I was in the school bus, other kids would make a lot of noise where I would quietly look outside the window. Because of that, I have never been able to make close friends while growing up; I'm just unable to make the emotional connection. The two people with whom I am most comfortable talking are my mother and my sister, though I don't transform into an extrovert when I'm with them. My dad didn't give me the best example: he is antisocial with lack of good manners, very direct, and very confrontational. I couldn't count on him while growing up. Overall, I feel like my difficulties in interacting with people are a mix of genetics and trauma. 30/11/2025
