I cant stand the pain
When I make a mistake or encounter a bad situation (related to me), I feel terrible and it causes me emotional pain that doesn't go away for a day or two. To relieve this pain, I want to smoke a cigarette or drink alcohol. What do you think I should do?

I think you're guided by the impulsive part of the soul or the appetite. According to Plato reason, appetite, and spirit are the parts of the soul. Reason is what guides the spirit and appetite. But spirit and appetite can still take control and overule. Spirit would be noble or moral whilst appetite would be barbaric and selfish. The appetite is the "lowest" part of the soul and when guided by this you become part of the broad population of people who never find truth or seek it. Where as ones guided by reason/ balance of the soul can become kings, and those of spirit can adhere to the kings of reason and present nobility and morality.

@Yusuf Ekin look I've been through a lot because of a mistake I've made. I've been through pain of a lot of lies that people made about me and rumours. I even had to go into a court of law to extinguish these rumours. You need to stop dwelling on what other people think of you and you need to use your intelligence to understand your worth. Then you need to use the gifts that you possess and work towards this exam because you have 2 months and that is plenty of time. I don't want to be harsh but I got to tell you. You got to stop crying like little baby and be a man. If this exam is so important then why the f*** do you care about what people think? If they are bullying you, you need to understand that it genuinely doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. It may be hurting your feelings but what's going to hurt your feelings even more is when you wake up in 5 years and realise how poorly you did on this test and how much better your life would be if you had focused on it. So you need to lock in and wake up because this test isn't going to do itself all right and your emotional pain now is going to be a learning moment for you in the future on how to change your mindset and for you to understand your own intelligence. If you made this mistake, obviously you had to learn from it and you may think you've learnt from it but you probably haven't yet. So stay focused on the exam and get it done and use all your effort towards that. I'll be praying for you. Lock in.

You can't break from it because a prolonged addiction can become a part of your identity. You must change your perception of yourself and have a become someone you aren't right now.
what are the possible few meanings of life ?
well , i was wondering , if answering the quistion of "what's the meaning of life" , what if there was more possible meanings in life ? , and what would they be ? , and what i mean is they can all contradict eachother , but its much easier to know which paths are there , and i need an answer about this topic because its been on my mind for a while.

@Kayla Abuya well brought up ideas of absurdism.
I'm stuck, what should I do?
I have what was going right for such a long time, my routine. I was able to wake up at time with energy and sleep early, be able to do all my work and felt really productive, now I just wake up late, thinks my day will be better, then I waste it completely and its been 8pm already and I wake more till 1am until I knock myself to sleep with again the same belief that something will happen, and just 2 hours ago, I just broke down of what I have been doing.

People who are born gifted are unlucky; why average is better.
People who are born gifted are unlucky because of cognitive trade off. A good foundation is everything gifted people don’t have that. gifted people often have: anxiety, low social skills, poor adaptability, and etc, to the point that they are special needs. their biology trades all of those skills for one. An average person is born with a pretty balanced foundation, being very adaptable and optimal. Obviously, there is tons of nuance and I’m probably wrong, but that’s not the point. The point is to be proud of your biology and to take advantage of it.

@Tom Poordan being average in looks establishes you as a broader part of the world. Therefore you need to work and compensate with money and intelligence. But being attractive almost immediately gets you these things through school and getting jobs so being ugly is genuinely the worst. That's why so many ugly people act and do weird things. Because they need to distract themselves from the reality of there meaningless lives. They hoard together and assure one another that what they do is valuable. The bad thing is average looking people are susceptable to becoming this as well. Average people in general because they have the baseline for so many different routes. An average person can become a professional golfer, as well as an incel. But "gifted" people have a focus in which they can hone in and achieve. Of course they are a little off, but overall are viewed higher up in society.
