Ask HN: What questions do you ask yourself often/repeatedly?

  • Why am I struggling?

    Why is everything becoming more difficult every day?

    Why did I go from top of the class to bottom? Were all my previous successes all flukes? Have I always been this stupid?

    Where is all my energy gone? Where is all my hope?

    Is this the right path? Is it of my choice or have I been conditioned to pursue it?

    Is there a role for me in this world? Am I just a side character in my own life?

    Where can I find some guidance? Philosophy, Religion, Science, History?

    Is there something wrong with me? Why haven't I been able to connect with people? Do I want to connect with people in the first place?

  • Is Learning this skill/achieving this long term goal for self improvement worth it? Will AI manage to do this in a few years and make this skill worthless? It’s very hard to know what skills to invest in during the rise of AI.

  • What am I missing?

  • Why the heck am I doing this?

  • What's the point?

  • Is this a self deception?

  • How do I?

  • Why?
