I am not using any social media like Facebook, never have, except for LinkedIn, which is where I found out about a lot of my previous classmates' achievements.
My relationship with programming is always giving up half way, because I've always hit a roadblock or something that takes me so much time to figure out, I just say "just do it manually". I love tinkering with Excel Formulas, and it's one of the reasons actually my current boss likes me, as I'm able to do some minor technical stuff. I don't know, it doesn't come down naturally to me. Maybe I should try taking up on it again, I don't know, but I've "failed" so many times at it already.
Irt other jobs... I've always been in front of a screen, and believe it or not, access to well paid respected professions in my country that are not "hands on" is very, very difficult, for example, a teacher requires a College degree + masters + to take a comparison test with other teachers that is pure rot memorization. Then there are other examples such as stevedores or policemen where you basically need to dedicate your whole life to it ever since you're a certain age til you get in.
I wish no ill will on others, so I hope my peers and old pals overachieve me in life a lot, and I don't wish a future middle life crisis on them.
Thank you for your kind words.
I've always found it very hard to believe in stoicism, I've always seen it as the philosophy of having a plan until you get punched in the face.
