Money doesn't provide happiness.

I spent my whole life working hard in school, studying math and science and learning how to discover empirical truths about the world.

Then I went to college and studied computer science because software is one of the things I like most in this world, mainly because of how logical and precise you must be, and that is how I like to be

Then I got a job at a top software company, I make loads of money now and got a fat check 5 figure check in my bank yesterday

The check did not even remotely make me happy, at most I thought "Yay I can afford to splurge on a nice dinner tonight and go buy a new video game without feeling selfish for spending money" but I ate that dinner alone and haven't even bothered to take that video game out of its box yet

I'm miserable and I thought this was the solution - accomplish your dreams, be successful, keep learning and you don't need to be socially competent, just keep working hard and you'll be okay in life

Nope, sitting in that restaurant alone with my full bank account and I still wondered why I bother to be alive

Kill me

>Money doesn't provide happiness.
Wow, you came up with that all on your own?
>>
well the good news is that becoming socially competent is easier than accomplishing all you have, and the money you make will definitely support you on your journey towards becoming who you want to be. I'd say hire a good therapist, a *good* therapist.

No one except 4chan autists thing that this is even remotely true, and I'm not convinced they completely believe it either.

what a factually incorrect way to disagree with a statement

are you actually suggesting there aren't people who believe this? have you ever met engineers and compsci majors? some music majors, even! they start to focus more on their skills than their ability to socialize. it's very common among the educated upper-middle class.

Okay, good. Cool.

So are you going to get a therapist?

I was socially inept through my teen years, a total shut-in except for school and hobbies, but I was thrust into socializing by circumstance. I learned to get by socially in like 2-3 years. We're talking girlfriends, friends and confidence, all coming from a place where I would sit alone for hours and ponder why I couldn't assert myself.

You need to be forced to socialize, and you need someone to turn to when it gets difficult.

Many famous Buddhist gurus have been involved in rape scandals. Mostly Tibetan Buddhist crazy wisdom rascals but nonetheless, don't act like Buddhism is free of controversy.

Buddha was not such a nice guy himself, either. He once gave a discourse that was so brutally revealing about the nature of suffering in life that dozens of monks committed suicide while he was staying in isolation for a month. When he came out he was like... where is everyone? (if you don't believe me, read the Mahavagga of the Samyutta Nikaya).
