Restart life
Is it normal to feel I want to abandon what I’m currently doing in my life (not job or city) and restart a new life altogether? Like completely come out as a new person - change your habits and things you hate about yourself?
No matter how many resets you go through, you will always return back to your old self. Only through psychedelic and/or intense religious experiences can you disintegrate your ego.
Even with psychedelics, the improvement is momentary/for the duration of your trip. Meditation is an alternative that could be more sustainable over time.
Try that when you’re married and with a kid lol
I think it’s normal to feel this way. Many of my friends and I as well do feel that way sometimes. I get a feeling of being a loser due to wrong decisions I have taken in my life and all the time I have wasted so far... so sometimes I wanna go back. 😆
It used to be called middle life crisis, but now it starts earlier.
You can have a quarter life crisis
It is normal. Definitely try meditation which will allow you to observe yourself and your interactions more dispassionately. Then try to crystallize what you want to change and how to go about it. It can be worth seeing a top notch coach to use them as a sounding board. Don’t let people discourage you, and don’t let time pass, because it gets harder as you age.
Thanks! This is really helpful.
It would be nice to fix all your defects at once, but it’s very hard and if you fail you’ll feel even worse. Try fixing one thing at a time, and learn to be patient with yourself.
Yeah, probably. I’m trying to change too much things at the same time.
Yes, I wish I could go back in time. I would change a lot of things - get a CS degree, not date my ex, have more sex, develop a habit of waking up early, build greater friendships.
Donald, we say go for it.
Larry, what about big G? changed jobs?
