I feel like it happens because somewhere in your hindsight, deep in your sub conscious mind, you know that you’ll be alright, whatever the loss be, or it’s just that you don’t actually really care, or there wasn’t much of a deep intellectual connection between you too.

Man, I almost also felt the same, but when my gf left me for someone else, that shit hit me too hard.

Oh, I’m very well aware of this, I’ve faced these situations in the past, but the thing is, I solve a ton of problems, including medium to hard problems, also after some rigorous practice, I become good enough to visualize the path I’ll take to solve easy problems and become efficient enough to solve them in my head.

Only the very hard problems, where I have no clue how to tackle them and have to bang my head on the wall for 2-3 hours, get the better of me. I always end up seeing the solution, and then I just take notes and make sure that if the same or a similar problem pops up (which rarely happens), I’m at least able to find my way. But that never happens, I usually end up forgetting the method or approach due to lack of practice. I feel like even if I read the theory very well and learn the derivations by heart, I still won’t be able to complete those problems. Maybe it has to do with reasoning and general IQ, but I’m not sure.

What u said reinforces my confidence in sticking with my approach! Thanks :)

Thanks for the reassurance, i’ll keep doing what am doing. :)

My current goal is more aligned with being efficient at solving problems, especially in the context of exams or competitive settings, so I guess that leans more toward the ‘engineer’ approach.

It’s reassuring to hear that focusing on problem-solving isn’t necessarily a drawback, as long as I’m prepared for a wide variety of questions. I think I’ll stick with my method for now and revisit theory selectively when I feel gaps or curiosity arise.

My immediate goal is to become as efficient as possible at problem-solving, especially for exams or competitions. But I do wonder if this approach might leave gaps in my understanding in the long term.

Smash! Next question.

I don’t get it.

This reminds me of this meme, I saw one time :

You can try reading some work of “Prescott Lecky”, maybe try to find a copy of his book, “Self Consistency, A Theory of Personality” he was a school teacher and he conducted an experiment on thousand of students, He used a method called ‘System of ideas’ to cure students of such habits of nail biting and stuttering.

You can give it a try.

This is my personal favourite
