I know perl but I'm not talking about learning stuff, I feel like I should create something.. the problem is I have nobody to give it to - so it's impossible to get any motivation.

I'm here for you OP. You don't know me, but I know you. What would you like me to say to you to motivate you. Would you like to talk about math or programming?

What math interests you?
What types of programming interests you?

Let's motivate you, OP. Positing (hahaha, typo? hmmm....think about that one) on 4chan is fun and a quickly-gratifying experience, but don't you want to make tons of money? Don't you want to solve and determine the results of math questions you have? Don't you want to program something BIG?! Are you afraid of your own criticisms? Something like, "well I can't create that, [everyone/them/they/she/he] will think it's lame/stupid/useless]"? That's just a waste of time, that's just a by-product of my own thought-processes?

C'mon. MOAR you son-of-a-bitch! This is a good thread.

[Sincerely, NOT OP]

> What math interests you?

I just had a period of getting really into basic number theory and diophantine equations.. sort of slowed down on that in the last couple of weeks though.

> What types of programming interests you?

Not much anymore, I used to be really into it but I haven't programmed in months.

> don't you want to make tons of money?

not really interested in money, I'll get a job doing something simple when I can't afford what I want.

> Don't you want to solve and determine the results of math questions you have?

I don't really have any big questions that I want to answer, mostly I just want to build up my understanding of certain mathematical objects - this is a life long game so I don't need to rush it.

> Don't you want to program something BIG?!

Not particularly, I could do this to try to impress someone but I don't know who, and I don't think it would help me.

> Are you afraid of your own criticisms? Something like, "well I can't create that, [everyone/them/they/she/he] will think it's lame/stupid/useless]"? That's just a waste of time, that's just a by-product of my own thought-processes?

I don't really care if people are negative about what I do but I don't think anyone would be particularly positive either. It's like I am in a vacuum, there's no use creating anything because there's nobody to see it.

...

Thanks for the questions, it's sort of helpful to think about these things.

Im not trying to imply anything with this post OP.

I read a book written by two M.D.'s involved in neurobiology. It is an interesting read and it might help you find your passion.

The Book is :

You Are Not Your Brain: The 4-Step Solution for Changing Bad Habits, Ending Unhealthy Thinking, and Taking Control of Your Life

By Jeffry M. Schwartz, M.D.

and

Rebecca Gladding, M.D.

It is just an all around good book for leading a productive life and learning how to ignore negative self talk like : "I feel like I should create something.. the problem is I have nobody to give it to - so it's impossible to get any motivation."

I think you would enjoy it.

inb4: shit storm about the book it is the only self help book I have found that was grounded in science.
