Instead of just trying to straight up find the field you're interested in, look ate everything thing you KNOW you don't like. Then, once you've narrowed it down to a short list of subjects you don't hate, maybe ones you even like, then start exploring them. Spend a decent amount of time with each of them, and explore their intersections. Try popping in to some online seminars, download some high level textbooks if you can find them, look at research on arxiv. If all that fails, look at the universities that interest you, and see what the profs are researching. See if anything piques your interest.

There are quite a few of us here. Is there anything in particular that you know about them (I'm the undergrad animeposter), or maybe a catchphrase (like /gnmg/-anon)?

Preemptively do more baby rudin, and on the off days I'm thinking set theory or dynamical systems, idk yet. Found a pdf of jech, but it's pretty scary looking. Haven't looked for anything in ds. Probably also gonna do some multivariable review since my class on it was horribly lacking.

You're just trying to find justifications for your lack of motivation, you're not trying to achieve success despite the odds, you're just trying to find ways to cope with your procrastination. In other words, you're the worst kind of scum, just give up them and live the rest of your life thinking 'what would have happened if I had made more effort in order to succeed at that time?'. Pathetic.

Does anybody here have a physical copy of Pugh's Real Mathematical Analysis? Can you tell me about the quality of the printing? A lot of people are complaining on Amazon about the physical book having a trash quality, poor printing etc etc, but a lot are also praising it.
