idk
I'm kind of proud, but I also kind of feel like a loser. I won't get my life on track--I feel like I can't--but I do have a sophisticated intellect, I'm a good philosopher, and I've managed to avoid the common pitfall of scientism, physicalism, radical skepticism/denialism, etc. And I know spiritual truth when I see it, which makes me more aware (at least as far as theory goes) than the vast majority of people. Oh, and I'm also proud of my scribbles3 program, https://github.com/inhahe/scribbles3 , and the algorithms I've come up with...I figured out the popular efficient algorithm for converting one numeric base to another on my own (and my program converts the decimal part of the number, too, and detects repeating decimals), I figured out the most efficient way of finding all the prime numbers within a range (besides the sieve method), I figured out a memory allocation algorithm, with no prior knowledge of how memory allocation works, that I later discovered somebody else had also discovered and that was then implemented in the Linux kernel. And there's one other algorithm named after somebody that I independently discovered, but I can't remember what it was atm.
I cannot think of anything that would make it evident or obvious to be proud. I am a person with a notorious mind and a lack of that common sense that people use to be proud of. I try to be not miserable and behave less shitty when in contact with other people though my interaction with most people is characterised by a lack of mutual understanding in many cases. Proudness is a sentiment resulting from real or imagined achievements and I find the former often grossly exaggerated and the latter suspicious.
