Successful robots: When did you grow pair? What made you change

I did a lot of psychedelic drugs and ended up randomly gaining the ability to think abstractly enough to figure out how to get into programming, something that I'd tried earlier when I was still in high school and didn't get anywhere with at the time.

I just said I wasn't gonna live this way anymore; got a college education, got a job making six figures which goes to the bills then myself seeing as I live alone, and also started going to the gym. You are in control of what you want to be, firmly grasp it

Clawed my dying mind out of the pit of despair and existential terror, and discovered methods of manipulating and controlling my own emotions more effectively. I'm now the calmest, most patient person in my family. Now I'm at the least well on the path to success, at least, what I consider it to be.

oh so this is what happens. people's brains go through normal maturation coincidentally at the same time they do drugs so they mistake the drugs as the cause.

I wish I hadn't ruined my life.

>just go to college and make 6 figures bro
>anyone can do it

>I have a shitty life

>no education or opportunity
>die

I'm already 21 and haven't even begun to try and make things better. But I want it badly

How fucked are you?

what would that be?

bought some benzos and had a brief insight into what life for real people was like.

When they stopped being effective (almost immediately) i got on ssri's and slowly pulled myself out of the shit

Graduated in an engineering major, heading down to a grad school in the fall. Field is expanding and isn't saturated by H1-B folks, so I've got a lot of options. Grad school is important because shit's on the cutting edge and is science-heavy.

Did something happen or did you simply realize that you are an anxious person to the point of impairment?

I was a drug addict but my ambition eventually overwhelmed my hedonism. I realized I'd never get rich if I kept popping pain pills and snorting ketamine.

I've been sober for quite a few years now and will be going to medical school soon. I think most robots face a similar dilemma. What is more important? Comfort or growth? Most true robots prefer the former. Those who leave robotdom chose the latter, I believe it can be boiled down that simply.

itt roleplaying as normies

And how do you do this when you've lived a safe life for years? People can't sense you don't have guts.
