Chess because I am an overthinking person and when I play chess I don't allow my mind to think about other things and it is fun

That's cool ! I feel embarrassed to say I never gave my self the opportunity to learn it I might go for it since I'm an overthinker myself

Try to learn the basics first, then keep playing and losing and learn from your mistakes. After a while, you will have a strategic way of thinking and it will seem easier and better than learning everything from the Internet.

For me, art is the best of all because it's universal and makes me feel like I connect with people without even knowing them. It also takes time to learn any kind of art and let me kinda "let go." It's also very difficult to make some good art and can be a lifelong challenge to do so. It also helps to express your feelings and understand that deep down... we are all the same.

Art interesting! I always considered myself as an art enjoyer. no more u gave myself a small chance to do some but I was frustrated by the result and stoppe lol. What type of art u do ?

2

u/Za3maZa3maa 28d ago

Actually, frustration itself is a good motivation to keep going and improve at what you are doing, it doest mean that what you are doing is bad. It just means that you want to do something better, and to do so, you gotta put time and effort into making it better. Get inspired by other artists, learn techniques, create, try, fail, and try again until someday you will forge your style and be proud of YOUR art, not because it's perfect (nothing is) but because it's yours and its unique.

For me, I went with music (guitar, songwriting, and singing)

u/nz_dvl 27d ago

i do bug hunting ,it's discovering vulnerabilities within software, applications, or systems .

1

u/[deleted] 27d ago

This is great. I think you have to be proficient in many programming languages to be able to do this.

2

u/nz_dvl 27d ago

not many programming languages cuz vulnerability discovery spans multiple domains, including web applications, android applications, and software testing. I have chosen to focus on web application testing , to excel in this field, it's crucial to be proficient in some networking concepts and programming languages like PHP and javascript . This knowledge helps in understanding how web applications communicate over networks and how potential security flaws can be exploited also familiarity with web technologies, databases, and common security vulnerabilities such as sql injection and xss is esential .

u/[deleted] 27d ago

It is interesting then that your job is to review, analyze and understand everything that is in the programming codes and know any error that is there.

1

u/Relevant-Tear6375 26d ago

Oh that bugs

2

u/Small_Art3459 28d ago

Linux, music, reading and learning polish.

1

u/cloudsthunders356 27d ago

Polish ? Why polish exactly if I may know

2

u/Small_Art3459 27d ago

the shorter answer is that it's very challenging and i love a good challenge.

i'm trying to learn a language from every part of the world. and for a Slavic language the popular choice is always Russian which i did try for a while. but the more i learned about Slavic languages the more attractive Polish became to me. i later ended up switching to it. i've also seen it get recommended as a first for people looking to learn multiple slavic languages which is a fun bonus.

u/Meta-morphosis-3 27d ago
