Demotivation and loss of focus. People see the position I am at now and assume that all was smooth sailing but they ignore hundreds of times I failed before those. Each failure was disappointing, some more than the others. After not qualifying for icpc regionals last year I felt so disappointed that I stopped practicing for some time. There were other times also when I was an expert and wasn't able to solve even 2 problems. All of these demotivated alot.

I would like to thank my awesome friend circle who always motivated me to move on after every setback. Also taking short breaks helped me.

I think Negative thinking (I am not able to do it)... and I am trying to remove it from my mind. I think when it removes from mind I will be able to improve myself. That's it

I do not have inner obstacles. I wish I solve problems every time. But lack of time and energy do not allow me to solve more than I would like.

Hi, I started CP just 2 months ago and half of the time I'm confused where to solve problems from. I set unrealistic targets like solving all binary search tagged problems under 2000 rating (of course I fail to solve it as they are too many) and then I switch to other platforms as I think they are better.

I'm don't stick with one platform for long as I've an inner feeling that if I use other ladder or platform I'll get faster results.
