He gets it. Why waste time thinking boring depressing thoughts about people you’ll never have to see again when there’s so many great math problems to learn how to solve.
That’s what I say! Also like to tell people that I have too many problems in my life, books and books of them to be exact, so I can’t get involved in their bullshit trivial problems. And this is how I avoid drama. There’s enough drama going on in math.
Are you kidding? What the **** qre you talking about? I had two degrees in math when you were learning additions! True will never die! Liers will kicked offf...

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was proving conjectures much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate coauthors, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good mathematician, i can proof any conjecture in the world in single paper! And "l"eonhard "e"uler is nobody for me, just a mathematician who are crying every single time when using wolframalpha, ( remember what you say about Gauss ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my mathematics carrier, I am Officially inviting you to math duel match to win the Fields medal! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 math Nobel prizes, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Mohamed Ababou is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...
Obsessing over an academic topic/hobby/activity in order to avoid confronting difficult emotions or to fill “the void inside” is generally not a good strategy for maintaining your mental health. At the very least, it is a strategy that doesn’t workout for most people
I'm never going to bludgeon someone about it because there's a trillion significantly worse ways to handle those things. I'd rather see someone throw themselves into Calculus than drinking, though I know when I was younger, the latter was a lot more appealing whenever I wanted to avoid something lol
If we're picking better of evils sure.. but the answer is to get help if you're struggling with your emotions, unable to to cope/move on. That's the **ideal** solution at least.
Math kept me off drugs when I was a kid, however, I was not really able to do it fast till now. This was due to the significant amount of trauma I ensued from my biological father.
It sounds like they’ve done enough reflecting and they’re pretty self aware about how sad the breakup has made them. IMO they’re at a place now where finding a healthy distraction should be encouraged
I guess, but if it's a coping mechanism then i guess thats ok. But it's as if they found a 'meaning in life' or something on those lines, something that makes them feel like they have a purpose. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
I don’t see where they are avoiding difficult emotions. It looks to me that not only did they acknowledge and confront them, but that they found a way to positively overcome them. I wonder if it’s the math thing that’s causing some of the reactions here. Like, if instead of math they said that they were reading books to blind kids or learning how to play the sousaphone, would we have the same reaction?
This is rather inspiring for me. I’ve also had recent turmoils in my life and a series of failures as a math student. And to me my reconciliation was an obsessive search into philosophy and my identity. I had an avoidance of math because it caused me to feel the pain of my recent failures, and you can see the negative feedback loop that results from that.
This post probably confirms to me that math can be fun again, that I don’t have to remember the pain and shame of not living up to somebody else’s expectations, but the enjoyment of the beauty of mathematics.
To me the more enjoyable aspects of maths are the importance of definitions, and how manufacturing those definitions in the right way can lead to easy proofs. But also, there’s this elusive ability to write maths as you would a novel, not in numbered definitions and proofs, but as a cohesive story with various factors that affect the flow of the plot (or in this case, the flow of the tautologies one arrives at). I feel like that’s math at it’s most enjoyable, when it’s both logically sound, and still undeniably human.
Valid coping strategy I'd say. My dream (as a film student) is to actually write a script where the character is an element of a math equation (I won't say which) and the trajectory of the story is the operation of the equation- just as an extra layer to the drama. the kind of cooky symbolic writing I gravitate towards, just a notion
I'm a math imbecile but find it an interesting reading topic on like wikipedia. to get a picture.
but It would have to do with Goedels incompleteness theorem and Turins halting problem. I think in a way the could imbue meaning to a character or characters as a sub interpretation on top of a regular character drama and dialogue
This is how I’ve been feeling, I’ll get done with doing math all day for school and start relaxing only to find myself doing random problems I saw in my YouTube recommendations or playing with ideas that popped into my head.
Honestly I did the same thing. Whenever I was at home with nothing to do I Drown myself in my calculus textbook and went through all the sections we skipped in college classes. Kept my mind busy for a month. 100% helped with the healing process and I would strongly recommend this to anyone who’s going through some sort of struggle
Bruh this is actually me. While not exact, I use math to avoid dealing with real life issues. I'm going to be high school senior, and whenever I'm facing a challenging situation I try to do math to escape having to think about it. This habit of mine is probably why I'm halfway through calc 2 rn. But I really don't know if this habit is really a good thing or not.
I really enjoyed questions that got ridiculously long and each step lead to something more convoluted than the last. And every time you are sure that you've fucked up somewhere because this is just all going sideways, but you think "fuck it , I'm in too deep now. Let's see where this goes." Then it all clicks and the solution just flows.
It's very satisfying.
I thought the joke was laughing at the guy for having something to throw himself into after a breakup, especially when it's something harmless like mathematics, I don't see anything wrong with it at all
Just be careful not to overdo math, funny but.. if you do too much math you can also lose a screw.
Had times I dreamt of functions I didn’t know to solve , woke up sweaty just to realize those functions weren’t even mathematically correct, also had numbers run through my brain in split second, I thought of problems and didn’t have time to solve any of them cause they just kept running in my head one after another.
I also have BPD so it could be related as well 🙃
Based math user
He gets it. Why waste time thinking boring depressing thoughts about people you’ll never have to see again when there’s so many great math problems to learn how to solve.
y not both :P
Sure but don’t forget to focus. We live in a deep and wide world so it’s more important to take the time you need and then keep on moving
Because the first one is fucking harmful.
That’s what I say! Also like to tell people that I have too many problems in my life, books and books of them to be exact, so I can’t get involved in their bullshit trivial problems. And this is how I avoid drama. There’s enough drama going on in math.

That's... great, but in a way also bad
No hate but how exactly is it bad? Genuinely just curious not tryna be arsey about it lol.

true, im someone who copes this way so i know first hand. it helps me cope but i know i got deeper issues i need to resolve i just dunno how
It works for me because if I do nothing and think I'm going to end up burning things
I hope they find a good support group but also keep doing lots of math
Because one day he's going to try to find the anti-derivative of e^-x^2 and he'll learn that math is more hurtful than any person ever could be.
And sin(cos(x)) is even more hurtful
Because people are more important than obsessing over math. But don't tell newton that
Arguably he didn't obsess over probability enough lol. But yeah good point, social life one of the most important aspects in anyones life tbh
welcome to academia
If it wasn't for math Id have killed myself by now, I love math
I'm glad things are better for you. Social support is integral for mental health!
u/brilliantgamers we love you more than math ever will

This is exactly how I am right now.
I don’t have a ex but the rest is relatable...help

You must say which.

Ramanujan would approve
*My man,* *Ramanujan!* *If he can't do it* *No one can!*
This hits too close to home for me, but good on them
This is how I’ve been feeling, I’ll get done with doing math all day for school and start relaxing only to find myself doing random problems I saw in my YouTube recommendations or playing with ideas that popped into my head.
Extremely based. Math is better than almost everything else in life
I feel like that isn't healthy... but I can't exactly explain why.
Obsession over anything is not healthy.
Okay but for real, math is lovely and wonderful when not used as a means to measure students' worth.
Can relate so much. Math has helped me move on from 2 relationships, and the thing about filling the emptiness with it just hits home.
Its weird but I also went through a bad breakup when I was in calc 2. And it was right about that time I decided to switch to being a math major...
unironically, let people enjoy things
Honestly I did the same thing. Whenever I was at home with nothing to do I Drown myself in my calculus textbook and went through all the sections we skipped in college classes. Kept my mind busy for a month. 100% helped with the healing process and I would strongly recommend this to anyone who’s going through some sort of struggle
Very true. I was a "I enjoy math" person but COVID-19 turned me into an "I LOVE math person" . Gets you through some dark times.

This post feels meanspirited tbh.
I didn't mean it that way, but I can delete it if necessary
Oh nah it could just be me reading it wrongly, apologies
oh okay what did you think it was? just curious
I thought the joke was laughing at the guy for having something to throw himself into after a breakup, especially when it's something harmless like mathematics, I don't see anything wrong with it at all
I thought it was gonna be some discovered he really loves math is calc 1 and is now a full on Mathematician but no he's just now in calc 2

Can't get dumped if you don't play!
Nice coping mechanism
Completely understand 😅
Yup same +1 Retreating into the math world is a great cure.
Feels good to know I'll not alone becoming like this
Just be careful not to overdo math, funny but.. if you do too much math you can also lose a screw.

sick man... i really like your motivation and courage! I personally really like math!
