Nobody tells you the hardest part about quitting something you’ve done for most of your life happens after you quit. For my whole adult life, cs was the only thing I ever truly cared about. Every routine I had, every goal, most of the people I talked to, everything in my life somehow revolved around CS, i feel like my identity was cs. Now I work, I study, I try to keep busy, but I still feel empty all the time? I keep trying to find new things and hobbies to care about, but nothing feels interesting and I end up comparing everything to competing. How does people find new things that makes them happy and gives them some kind of purpose?
