Spatial problem solving.

Problem solving.

Processing written information.

Budgeting and staying afloat.

I'm immune to FOMO, I've been conditioned and hard-wired to resist a majority of what commercialism tries shoving in my face. I'll get what works for me and has proven to work for me and I'll consider alternative options if whatever that is, is proven to me that it is something better.

I may be living as an individual and alone, but I don't feel the need to spend $200+ on groceries just for me. Some people whose budgets are broken down when they go over their expenses just for them, I see so many flaws. Why do you need weed? Why do you need this or that? Why did you pick a place to live that costs you $2,000 a month? Are you insane?

Not trying to judge but you came here complaining to us (whenever I see it on social media) about why you're broke or struggling, until I see what you're spending on. Stop subscribing to bundled utilities where you'll use only ONE of them (Net), stop subscribing to things you know you'll use only once then forget about. It's not that freaking hard, but the only reason people do these dumb things is to feel inclusive or feel like they're saving on things but don't read the fine print. It is all on you for why you fail budgeting.

I'm not trying to make excuses for capitalism but it's survivable if you ask me.

STEM back in school. That's how I make a living now.

Living below my means. Moving somewhere where pay to living cost is better helped.

Public speaking. I just can't get my head around the fact that a crowd is composed of real, individual people. It just looks like an impersonal, lifeless blob to me, so I have no trouble performing in front of it.

Climbing, I see a path and just take it. Pretty crazy how many people are afraid of heights. I've been climbing towers for over 20 years and have seen a lot of people not make it through the day.

Waking up early.

It’s the fastest way to a cup of coffee

Time management seems to be something so many people I know struggle with, but I rarely ever have. I'm early for a lot of things, but never too early to where I'm waiting a long time to get to what I want. Only times I've been late is if it's something out of my control and even then I usually try to add enough of a buffer that it doesn't negatively impact me too much.

Believing people generally know what theyre doing. I get quite annoyed when I find out that people who are above me in the ladder dont have a clue what theyre doing.

• To not feel the need to stay connected to social media.
• To not have an opinion on everything and on everyone.

I've never felt existential dread while contemplating life or death or the scale of the universe so being comfortable with mortality I guess.
