Was my mind hijacked?

[OccultKingdoms]

I feel uncomfortable writing in WordPress or CMS or some other editor.

But when I go to Reddit or BHW everything is fine.

Like wtf? So if I write there, I can just copy my input and post it on my website.

Free content? Can I hijack the hijackers?

I've been sober for 5 months.

Your DP is puzzling my brain.

Straight answer? It's stress. Something about WP, or working on your project is stressing you. This might be because of concerns of not having work done in the past, etc.

Reddit and BHW give you pleasure, increases dopamine, which increases pursuit and motivation.

Find out WHY wp is stressing you out, address the issue and you should be fine.
Want to go medical? Count from 5 to 0 backward. It activates your prefrontal cortex, and moves your attention from your amygdala(which is keeping you in a safe zone).

But don't focus on the medical reason for now. Just try and ask yourself why is WP/writing stressing you out, and have a talk with you on why it's good for you.

WP feels like a mine field to be honest. I also feel tensed even logging into that sht.

Since you like posting on other platforms, try making a private repo on github, and write the contents there, in markdown. Github's editor is actually pretty decent.

Then have a static build generator to fetch those contents periodically from the github repo and build your site with that. Problem solved

I think it's cause I have too low prices. I worked for 2 years as a WP dev and messed myself up. It's not the only problem. I worked for people who didn't respect what I did, at all and made me think development and engineering is not a good pathway.

I had about 3 toxic people around me manipulating me into this shit for over 6 years. Yesterday my sibling revealed to me he was doing whatever other people told him in relation to me.

He told me his friend makes $10k per month selling copy. Then he revealed he only makes $600 per month moving bricks. Made me feel like an idiot missing out on something and it was all lies, like 98% of the stuff I had been exposed to in these circles. On another day my brother beat me up cause someone told him I'm worth only this.

I write a blog about this phony shit now. I hope I will let someone know what kind of mental wrecks are living on this planet.

Honestly, I haven't seen so much mess ever in my life. And I'm living in solitude observing what these morons I was hanging out with are doing to each other. They can't remember their own stories and have a different set of fairytales for everyone they encounter.

I have 15 pages (3k words) of demotivational mental stuff that these people managed to stuff into my head throughout years. I wrote it down in 3 hours. Extremely sarcastic, cinic and derisory bs. Professionally they are drug dealers, thieves and probably sociopaths.

Literally the only thing they were doing while hanging out with me was finding some spots to hit, so it would destroy me. That's sick.

I should take a shotgun but that's exactly what they want me to do. Their greatest idea is to destroy and sabotage. My mind is shattered since years. In consequence I make these threads.

You mean depersonalization? According to the people I knew I have 23 mental diseases and 16 personality disorders.

I don't care what people will say at this point cause I'm in solitude. They tried stalking me but they failed this time.

You see what they can do to your brain. Everything just seems like a mental illness they made up for me. Going to ask some professional about this. It's gone too far.

This page is stressing me a lot also, because it's the door to responsibility.

You have to disable it and upload all content via an API. That's the only way forward.

Wp-admin is just unnecessary vulnerability risk.

It's Gutenberg. The Gutenberg editor is cursed. That satan spawn gives me crippling anxiety too.

Burn it. Burn it with fire and install the OG Classic Editor.

Or join the static site generator cult like me and say "FUCK OFF" to wordpress

Yeah, but how do you build contact forms or carts? I use laravel, nest.js, react and vue. However, it's full stack dev, not static sites.

I would do this and save all my content in markdown files, but where am I going to save my contact form submissions.

 

[Gogol]

contact forms

Next.js/Mysql (could be postgres or some nosql solution as well.. just use prisma and use your favorite db technology)/Next Api, and react hooks form.

carts?

same

not static sites.

Most of the static generators have middlewares and apis. It does not have to be a static site.

but where am I going to save my contact form submissions.

Use mysql/mongo or any other db you like. It is supported like I said above.

 

[Ashk881]

Yeah, but how do you build contact forms or carts?

Forms are easy. You build the form with html and override the submit button to make an AJAX Call to an API with your form data that stores/processes it.

Carts are similar but a bit more complex.

Didn't know about this Node.js serverless function API built into next.js. That's so cool.

But that's without any framework. Which ssg do you propose then?

It blew my mind when I first tried it out. I am sure you will love it, since you know the concepts already.

I personally use Jekyll and Hugo. Those are pure static site generators with no support for api calls or forms so I have built them myself.

Gatsby and Next do have serverless support so you can use that too.

I can't write or read content/text blocks properly unless in google doc.
All other places - ms word, AI writing tools, Grammarly, Wordpress, Gutenberg, etc etc, my brain can't function or process words.

Are you using block editor or classic editor?

 

[Project Limitless]

Block editor is not for me. I feel like I've entered some alien land. The first thing I do is install classic editor plugin. It's a shame they've not given it as an option and we need to take the plugin route adding to the vulnerability.

I use wpbakery and my site speed is 50 secs.
jokes aside
It's block editor. And yeah, I have forgotten how it used to be before.

I quit their ecosystem. ACF is useless. Elementot is useless. Woocommerce is stiff. I'm a coder. It takes so much time to code something well in Wordpress compared to modern ecosystems. Admin panels are not very useful to me. Markdown will serve me now.

I haven't seen so much code being written as interceptors in my life. They call them hooks in Wordpress. But it looks so bad to write interceptors instead of normal code. You can replace them with templates, but now instead of writing a single hook, you're editing whole file and it gets even worse cause you do it to override 1 thing. You need to figure out how to make it less messy and it took me years to realize I have to use solutions from modern web dev to make it bearable (I used composer and npm in my theme). Now my last themes use blade components from laravel and mvc pattern but it's still worse than php frameworks. Modifying some plugins behavior is close to impossible. Some devs just don't care about other devs and being able to extend their plugins. I would expect $60 to be at least versatile but nah.

I can't write or read content/text blocks properly unless in google doc.
All other places - ms word, AI writing tools, Grammarly, Wordpress, Gutenberg, etc etc, my brain can't function or process words.

So far dark templates worked the best for me. 15 hours of sitting, so it makes sense to dim the light a little bit. Pick the right colors and it feels food.

Wise words! It's like an open sea (not saying ocean) of responsibilities

It's Gutenberg. The Gutenberg editor is cursed.

Classic editor & classic widget plugins could make the magic switch.

On the other hand, @Alexion isn't too far from the truth. The idea (and the beauty of owning your own site) is you can make your site pleasant for you and for your visitors. +1 for WordPress.
