I'm good sleeping. Bed is my worst flaw
I complain a lot, I hate this but I know I do it. I don't know why. You could make me god, with all it's might and I'll probably say 'fuck, now I'm immortal'.
on the useful side, I use my paranoid skills to research stuff. at the cost of having a mind which is like an ever centrifugating idea machine

Just going to pull these numbers out of my ass, but lets go with it.

Imagine 5 people of similar features to you, can be classmates. There is something you have researched that will def make you the best out of these 5. 1/5

Now imagine 10 similar people to you, samish interests and education level. What do you have that one other would have, but no more. Like if I needed research on some shitcoin, or japanese whiskey, would you and one other random x be my best choice for that?

That is enough to make money. If you want to make heaps of money, find something that you can be 1/50 or 2/100 at. Needs lots of planning and study, but will pay off.

Stuff at 1/500 or 2/1000 is really hard to make money off of. Thats like Olympics style level, or incredibly detailed and obscure. But you can use your 1/50 skills to pay for free time to work on this.

OSINT is not useless, but may be for you. It is an advanced skill and more mature or expert fields need it. But say in 5 to 10 years. Can you be 20%? I bet you already are. Can you become 2%? Dont call us, we WILL call you.

I also have this problem I'm fighting against too, like complaining.
I already defeated the 'I am smarter than the rest' problem.
and now I want to cure 'inaction'.
to put it somehow, I'm learning programming by myself.
What did I do? read about languages, algorithms, discuss on /g/ about languages, where should I start... also I must improve math skills, algorithms... so I spend a lot of time preparing to do something instead of doing it.
that's why I choose python, because it's the opposite of what I was thinking. And I knew I would spend a lot of time studying shit and doing nothing while some skid has a program running in half an hour.
I am a fucking mess, I wish to die.

No, it sounds to me you are taking action to improve and better yourself. Like, I dont have the feeling I am talking with an idiot, i think much like me when younger, though i was an idiot.

self-esteem takes time to grow, but if you got determination and intelligence, then you can get esteem and recognition in so many fields you choose. it takes also time to figure out how to make your skills count in this world. Getting good at researching and critiquing stuff really can get you a good career. As a QA test engineer you are basically getting paid to find something to complain with in other peoples code then take a big shit on it.

for learning python, check out a pirated copy of 'learn python the hard way'. for learning algorithms and building cool things the skids dream about, check out a pirated copy of 'programming collective intelligence'.

You wish to die, but have/or can gain will to live. Live can be so very rewarding, but sometimes you have to wait a while it sucks. Look into things like breathing methods (breath holds) and cold showers daily. It is an incredible way to teach your body small daily wins for that endorphine boost and having yourself be proud of you. It also builds will and avoids stress during the day.

Good luck man. After a while you won't even feel you need it. :)

self esteem. I will never understand it.
there's people out there who are walking turds and they are happy with themselves.
And I can't get any pride for my success, and keep remembering every failure.

Anyway, on the topic again, I saw something about the Mathew effect. If thread still up tomorrow, I'll seek more info on this and post it.
