Before you say I'm on drugs, I'm happy to inform you I am not. The older I get, the more I'm convinced I know nothing, f, nothing of life. I was so sure I knew it all, what to do when I was like 15 or even 20. But now, only a few years after, I'm completely clueless. I'm all lost and life doesn't make any clear sense to me. I just live day by day, and I got no idea what will happen tomorrow. Whatever I think seems to be wrong and short-sighted, just like my ageing eyes.

Bottom line is: now, at 26, I'm about 5-6 times more stupid and unsure than a few years back.

Do we really know nothing and if we do, is it just a notion? What guides you then? Religion, morals?
 
Welcome to your 20s, enjoy your stay.

Remember that this is when you'll have the best mix of health, freedom, and money, so don't spend all your time on philosophical pondering.

I don't really know the answer, but I do know that the question tends to magically become less important once you have a long-term job, are married, and have kids.
 
The only thing that guides me is success. Whether that be in terms of money or relationships, I strive to be better than the day before.

It could be the old adage... the more you learn, the less you realize that you know. I just try to read at least an hour a day on things that are important to me (business, entrepenuership, investing, fitness and such) I know what my goals are so i try to study to achieve them.

I am 22, and have only entered this mindset in the past year or so. But hopefully it will last the rest of my life.

What exactly are you having problems with?
 
No, I'm not sure at all, but that just makes stuff more interesting. You just sound like your depressed. While I don't really know anything, I know this because of the amount that I know and with this knowlege I feel like I'm going in the right direction.

Realising that one truly knows nothing is one of the deep truths that one can know.
God existance is sweet.

I started experiencing queer conditions after I got promoted. Now there are 8 people underneath me and I have to hire new personnel and judge other people's performance. Maybe this made me smarter, but it also left me on shaky grounds. I see how people don't really want to do anything, how low they are in some aspects and that they would gladly stick it in your back when you turn around. I also realized that when I was at their position I was the same. Then I looked back at my entire life and I wouldn't want to say what I concluded. Now I'm completely clueless. I know what I want to do, but I'm not so sure after all this.
 
The wiser you become though gaining knowledge and experience in life the more you realize that there is even moreso left to learn then before. Thus, you're just realizing your ignorance?

(in other words, the smarter you become, the stupider you will feel)
 
As much time as I spend looking forward I have little time to look back. Fill your life with prospects rather than regrets.

It sounds like you need goals. If you're not actively working toward something every single day then what's the point? Take yourself out of your rhythm and meet a challenge head on.
 
I feel ya man. I don't know if what I do is right by other people's standards, but for now its the best I've got to go on. If I make a mistake, well, hindsight is 20/20. For now we just gotta try to look forward and make the best decision we can based on the best information we can.

Good luck to you

You like to reference the poon quite a bit I've noticed.

its often over looked but i believe it is important to be satisfied in all areas of your life if you want to be happy. There are studies on the benefits of a healthy sexual lifestyle on your mental and physical health.
 
Sounds normal to me. It is very common to hear something along these lines in graduate school classes:

"The more I learn, the more I realize I know nothing."

For example, when I was little I thought I was the king of math. I aced every homework, every test, every contest, etc. Then when I was in a few PhD-level math classes, I realized how little math I knew.

That is just part of maturing. You realize that you don't know everything, that you aren't invincible, etc. I think you are finally mature, Booster. I welcome you to our club. Some people never reach it even if they live to be 100.
