 You sound like me when I was young. Freshman me wouldn't even recognize current me. Burnout and uncovering how the world really works over the past decade does a real number on you. 
 Old me wouldn't recognise me either He would say Dan you were so very handsome ripped and perfect in every way but most of all very humble so what happened to you 
 @Hoss “Cyber Santa” Delgado I know I'll burn out at some point, but I'm not sure when that point will be. Either that or I learn how to get a healthy relationship to studying/work and stuff along those lines. In the long run that'll end up being more productive for getting better at stuff, even if I'm less productive in the short run. But that involves listening to people who care about me, and I worry whether I'm too stubborn to do so.

I think part of it is I'm really afraid to get weaker at things in general. I'm sure that has its basis in some deep-rooted issue, so I'll have to do a lot of soul searching. 
 Don't get into stims. When I started taking stims at my first startup job it heralded the beginning of the end.
