1 being not at all. 10 being a lot and you might as well end it all
i'd say normally 7 for me but lately it feels more like 8
tfw i almost died in a car wreck only to come back to working a shitty dead-end job and my near-death experience has only given me a small dose of ambition toward my writing and stuff
6
No, 7......
Sevneight
lmao this question hurts
i have wasted my life away to the tune of what feels like around 8.5 or 9
to answer this question accurately you'll have to give a time window.
right now? the past week? past 6 months? past year? past 3 years? past 5 years?
it makes a huge difference.
obviously every day that i wake up and get nothing done ive wasted the day. thats just objective fact.
probs 7

at least you're pursuing a degree you can actually use
AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
since kaz is taking too long to answer. lately and im gonna jinx myself but id say 6 because it seems like all the investing into my job process is coming together. maybe. maybe if i get something, i just suck at it and then back to the drawing board.
but there are days that are full 10s.
in general for the past year, it's been a solid 7. maybe like a 7.2.
8.5 for the past half year.
I've been just trying to better the quality of my life and so far it's been torture because I've just been so paralyzed barely accomplished much- been working on my anxiety and other stuff.

just "lately." a specific time frame would be thinking about this too hard.
i dont think anyone on the planet has consistently maintained below like a 4.
i'd say below 4 means you're a busy/successful person

and there are millions of such people
probably a minimum of 2/5 people are below 4

no way
everyone hates their life and feels like they are throwing it/have thrown it away.
you can be sub-4 for like a year or two, but everyone feels bummy in general
i guess it depends how you are quantifying it. in terms of my professional life or career i'd probably say 6. in terms of my personal life and personal development probably like a 3? there are a lot of aspects that i would like to change or improve on but overall i am pretty happy with my relationships hobbies and accomplishments thus far.
I'd say it's more like 20% of people in developed nations are a 3 or lower, 65% are 4-6, 14% are 7-9, and only 1% are a 10
or something along those lines

sure but many of the successful ones probably suffer from this:

my success is attributed to silicon valley and the absolute glut of money in tech. its a wild west of free money out here basically if you have the discipline + luck to develop a skill that can make a tech company money.
im interviewing for high paying jobs, but not getting them. clearly im doing something horribly wrong.
but thanks for the compliment.

but you literally can't objectively assess yourself either lol
you can judge yourself better than anyone else can. you know the full story.
in public irl i keep up a really clean, successful image of myself because i have low self esteem or w/e and need the validation. but at the end of the day i know im a fuckup and the people who were present to observe my fuckup know im a fuckup. this is facts. its true for everybody, they know to what extent theyre a fuckup more than anyone else bc theyve been present for all of the fucking up.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing here, I didn't say they're in love with life, but those people don't feel that they're wasting their lives away
this isn't a scale of how happy or successful you feel, it's a scale of how aimless and unfulfilled you feel
but isnt the opposite of aimlessness being fulfilled?
unless it's just, "i feel aimless" to "i dont feel aimless" scale

kaz i really think, through my silcion valley POV, i really think you should pursue VR storytelling rather than pen and paper fiction. it's the same thing but you'll generate literally way more attention and interest if you attach your passion to something that's gonna grow over time rather than an already stagnant medium.
food for thought. i posted this before, but shakespeare literally built the globe theatre with his friends with his hands. he created his medium for a captive audience. thats why we all know him, had he just written books or became a playwright at the local theatre nobody would remember him.

i target men like this irl
I rate myself a three
it's so nice I've developed imposter syndrome and feel guilty when my other friends lives are so much more harder
so you target everyone?
i mean the path to success is lined with terrible self esteem. i guess its possible to love yourself and not ahve much, which might be better.

that's a good point, but tbh i don't think i have any particular desires of how far i want my "career" to go. all i really want is to be able to publish books and make an ok living. i don't care about much tbh

he has a point, though
you'd have a much larger, cheaper to access audience in digital format
but that's not to say you can't simply use both mediums to your advantage
it feels good to have that kind of recognition though, that some amount of people remember what you did
