Maybe for some. Quests also embody traits like bravery, exploration, and heroism, which are traditionally considered masculine traits.

My masculine urge is to become a vigilante....

Would go to Himalayas. Master jiu Jitsu.. And build a batmobile. 
 If I would be rich. I will be batman.

Masculine urge to skip work and go on a quest.

Especially in a city like Bangalore where you spend 5 days in office 
Clubbing is not an option every weekend, considering how expensive clubs are and how antisocial I am 
What can we do apart from scrolling phone Or binging content indefinitely?
Suggest some options 

I tried those meetups and board games night. 
They are not as exciting after first few rounds

How to have a good weekend

How to find hobbies or anything that I like to do? I’m in Bengaluru, with a lot of free time. I don’t know what I like anymore. I frequently watch movies from theatre and that’s the only thing I do now

How to find hobbies?

Program Manager

I am not the kind of person that is going to sit idle or while away my weekend hours.

I am hungry, hungry for work hungry for growth and hungry to hustle.

The problem is that apart from hunger I have no vision / set path on what I want to do.

I have dabbled around with various things, but have realised that I'd rather join someone else in their vision rather than set out on my own.

Unfortunately due to financial condition of family I cannot leave my day job.

So at least until I have the confidence that I'm doing well on the side hustle thing, I cannot afford to quit my main job.

I have full WFH so moonlighting is not really an issue for me.

So folks, does anyone have anything for me? 

I'm a web developer and can quickly learn and adapt to various technologies and tech stacks.

Imagine you are financially secure with no concerns at all. What would you do to pass the time?

Would you continue what you're doing if you had all the money to live?

Hey Folks. Here for some advice…

Context: I’m 37. MBA+Engg Grad working. Big Blr Startup. Good Role in Biz. Married (Started dating 12 years back & then got married). 

I’m an extrovert/fairly social (Mostly hang out/around other people/friends around a similar life stage - age/work). Most of my friends from School, Engg & B-School are all over the place (we meet once in a year types), no one in Bangalore. Hanging around with people at work is not something I like to do more than once in a month. My wife, on the other hand, has a good set of friends, with whom I hang out quite regularly (guys & girls). 

For a while now, I’ve been thinking of investing some time into making friends/building relationships outside of my social circle (Not that I’m looking to cheat on my wife, but then sometimes it’s good to hang out with people who aren’t your partner’s friends or are already part of your existing work/social circle). 

In short - I’d like to meet unconnected new people. And I’m realizing that at my age, it’s not so easy to do so without seeming creepy.

About a year back, I met an ex-colleague (28F) over drinks (She was in town and asked if we could meet) - Super attractive and smart. It has 12+ years since I’ve randomly met anyone from the opposite sex alone for a meal/conversation (outside of a work meeting). At first, it was super awkward - uncomfortable pauses, loss of words, asking dumb questions, etc. Luckily, in a bit, alcohol kicked in and then it got much better… We still text & meet if we’re in each other’s cities with some time to spare. That’s when it hit me that I was good at making small talk, but have no idea what to talk about when it’s someone who’s some 10+ years younger. Seems like another generation (which it probably is)… While I felt so, I must also admit, I had a great time to be honest - the conversations were energizing/different and to be honest, a tad exciting too.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Everyday i wake up with no motivation to work. Spend most of my day trying to gather any will i have to get something done and just wait for the evening standup. After which i have no energy to do anything since all was lost trying to ( not necessarily doing ) work. Can anyone relate? Or gone through it? How do you even fix it?

PS: don't suggest grass is greener on other side and how there are jobless people in the world...

Lost motivation to work

I have been into programming since I was 15.
I have been working in the IT industry for the past 8 years and have been very successful in my domain because of my will to solve problems at work as interesting puzzles.

But this interest has slowly and gradually formed a huge part of my life to a level that if I am away from it for sometime, it gives me anxiety.

I am afraid this will affect my other parts of life like giving attention to my family, spending ample time with them.

As a process, I started to have no code Saturdays so that I am completely away from my laptop and spend time doing other mundane things. But this has not reduced the anxiety.


Any suggestions for reducing my workaholic nature ?
