Stop Isolating Yourself

I talk about being more social and the benefits of that, especially in a college setting. When studying math it helps to have friends. Do you have any opinions or advice? If so, please leave a comment below.

I love these sorta "advice" videos that he makes which on the surface seem particularly catered to math students but in reality is just wise advice for life in general...

Life is made up of math after all.

[@dominicisidro2576]

I clicked it even if I wasn't studying math.

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Nothing new though, all these are common sense the average guy already knows.

[@BhrantoPathik]

A note to myself: Isolation hampers the potential. Opportunities come with bravery, so sit in the front, raise your hand, ask questions, and don't worry about whether they make sense or seem too simple.

[@ruleaus7664]

Sitting in the front doesn't mean much. You can participate and be attentive regardless of where you're sitting.

[@AD-wg8ik]

I’ve never been able to study in groups. I need complete isolation and intimacy with the material. Social interaction for me is typically not academic related. Partying, sports, volunteering, etc.

[@jarodvelectric7431]

The most difficult part for me is finding the balance of isolation and socializing while being deep in study. I tend to be good at not being in balance.

[@musicplaylists64]

When you learn valuable lessons from your mistakes regrets are no longer a thing.

Woah I needed this video because i have been isolating myself for so long and didnt know whats wrong with me. Thank you wizard❤

[@matthewglenguir7204]

Isolation is the best way to plague your mind

[@duncanbleak3819]

Whatever works for you. 30+ years ago, trying to come to grips with Linear Algebra theorems and proofs in college, "isolation" was the key to learning successfully. The isolation provided opportunity to do a deep dive and FOCUS. But, one should do what provides the results one desires!

[@sp123]

My adhd prevents me from learning in study groups

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

Yes people should stop viewing this random dude as a sage for everything. He’s just an average math teacher in real life.

[@leet-kitty-catface]

I tried to form one and with an online discord group but no one joined. I even had homework examples of every problem that I made and it even had word explanations of the hardest problems but not a single person joined. That really killed me tbh. I'm not sure if I'll ever try that again. It really hurt that this happened to me. I just didn't want to feel alone all the time.

[@joeldoxtator9804]

You touched on a very important point in this video. If you want to succeed in a particular field, you MUST become a leader of men. Being a leader only takes being the example. It is not about ordering people around or being the alpha at all times, these are the media delusions they feed us. It is about being the most disciplined in your craft and mentoring others in how to excel in your craft. This is why it is so important to master yourself. If you cannot force yourself to be disciplined, no one will ever follow you. It is the undisciplined who search for leadership and role models. Show them how it is done and they will follow and help you achieve your vision.

[@hemp6510]

Solid advice as well

[@ammar123ivy]

I honestly dont know wheter i successfully balance isolation and not isolation but im pretty happy with my life right now. Sometimes i study with my friend group sometimes i study alone in my dormitory. Sometime i hangout with my friends and sometimes i stay at my dormitory doing my hobbies.

[@OhAwe]

I feel like regrets are really important. They make you reassess your path. There's a reason a certain action, or inaction, lingers in your mind. I think that's generally the case with recurring memories (of all sorts). If there weren't something to learn from them, we wouldn't likely waste precious energy reflecting on them. Consider it a gift from your mind-an insight into how you might do things differently in the future in a way that benefits you more. Look after yourself; don't deny things that make you unhappy.

Thanks for talking about this. I relate to a lot of what you said (not raising your hand even when confused, being timid, isolating one's self). Looking back on undergrad, I wish I didn't act like a spectator due to self-consciousness, but instead interacted with professors, looked for cool opportunities and such. I'm hoping to do better in the future for the reasons you mention in the video.

[@fSFan333]

it's fitting that this video is uploaded today because today was the first day that I actually wrote something on the blackboard infront of the class after two years of basically doing everything alone. It was the last question on the sheet, functional analysis spectral theory, and the solution that the tutor had found was not enough to proof it. So the tutor asked me to write my answer on the blackboard because I was one of two in the class who had it solved in the correct way (there were only 10 people so it's not that odd). I always thought I was pretty self confident, but surprisingly I found that my hand was trembling quite a bit, and I really didn't think that would happen to me. Contacts make quite a difference, and I gotta admit that the longest time I spent talking to a colleague per week one average (average of the semester) was ten minutes.

[@sirjuke9j]

Completely agree with finding a balance and confidence of asking questions. Yet there’s always the possible struggle that if someone provides clarity on a topic it will not click until hours after…I suppose i should let my peers and professors of this case.

[@hamzaomari7052]

Hey, please, make more videos like this. About life experience, the video of 'It only take two weeks' really changed my life. I am a computer science student and after reconsidering that video and actually putting in the good work. in two weeks I learnt the fundamentals of machine learning and implemented lot of Neural Nets with pytorch, and having zero knowlege in pytorch. I had to learn it. And 15 days are actually so long wen we actually give it a serious try. The 2 weeks rule realy changed my mentality and mindset. And I don't want you to stop posting videos like that. You're helping people more than you thought. Thank you so much.

[@aaronpierson1394]

I have always said that I am the shiest person in almost every room I have ever been in. This surpises people now because I learned to create another persona that I can "wear" in public who can do those things. It took a lot of practice (and acting classes) but finally took hold when I was offered a job that doubled my pay if I could teach, present, and train. Desperation was a big motivation. But when the door closes, I like being alone to think.

[@matheus_MVPMB]

Thank God I learned that early, but still need much more to improve. working from home actually cuts a bit of the fun, but at least I can garantee time to go to church and study. But I still need to enter on groups or even better, to find the vocation God wants me to focus.

[@aaronpierson1394]

I am the accessibility specialist at an urban community and technical college. Two of the top keys to student success are connecting with faculty and studying with peers. Almost all faculty have told me that very few students come to office hours. When I was a graduate TA one semester, I did the grading for two courses while the professor lectured. I kept writing "come see me during office hours to get better grades" because the mistakes were so easily correctable. I did not have a single student from either class show up the entire semester and the students who struggled never improved.

[@piotrek3650]

@@WayneDrake-uk1gg despite it being an obvious pun, I would highly appreciate your legit gym reply Sir. I'm really into some "only compound lifts" mindset for a while. Biggest reason being lack of time, but it turned out that It's way better despite spending 2.5 less time in the gym

[@WayneDrake-uk1gg]

@@piotrek3650 personally, I've found very heavy/high intensity/as frequent as possible compound lifts are the best bang for the buck when in a calorie surplus. Rapid improvements in size & strength, but I tend to get banged up/beat down after a few weeks of doing that. From there, I can keep progress going a bit longer by lightening the load and upping the volume (something like German Volume Training). From there, that kind of training can carry me through the beginning of a cut (high volume compound lifts are definitely great cardio as well). But when deep in a cut, there comes a point when compound lifts cease to be "feasible". I mean, when you're starved to the point you can barely stand up off the couch without collapsing, barbell squats ain't happening, so it's nice to be able to just sit on a machine and do leg extensions

[@dean532]

One thing’s for sure, as we get older, the circle of friends gets way smaller ; we have to trust and hold on to a few while smiling or peacefully walking away from the rest. It’s important to not isolate one’s self from school through university at least for (your) cognitive development and that’s what I believed in even as a young musician turned scientist-from taking part in every competition, even sport! Going partying, most importantly having conversations even with my teacher colleagues ! All this payed off in retaining what we learned-that’s deep! Today we can still face the world.

Can you make video on exam anxiety, sometimes you are prepared but still you fear uncertanity that something will not go well and due to this I get anxiety before one or two weeks before exam due to which sleep patterns are disturbed and you end up having a bad cognitive performance due to which you mess up in exam.

At the same time, one could isolate and decide to do so in pursuit of improving oneself. It's like the Mayer story.

Wow. Talk about coincidence. I had a talk with some of my colleagues last night about helping me be more social this coming semester in the fall. I have already wasted 2 years avoiding social events and simply going home right after class. I had realized that this was not helping me grow as a person. I had already wasted my time at community college by not making any meaningful connections and I don't want to have the same regrets in uni. Thank you for making this video. Exactly what I needed to hear 🫡🫡
