It’s totally irrelevant.
I know people who are way better than me at coding who have a girlfriend and are amazing at public speaking.
Focus on coding if that’s what you’re interested in.
Focus on talking / public speaking or increasing confidence if that’s what you want 
.
In short , anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
Let people talk whatever they want, as long as you’re happy doing what you want in life.
You’ve made it.

I really can’t understand how can “these” type of friends exist. To be very honest, these are just fake friends. They will leave you / betray you at some point or the other. Real friends will be like whatever you are doing they support you, and vice versa. They will never demotivate you or say anything like this. If they can’t motivate you, they will not speak, but will NEVER demotivate you. I have a pretty same kind of experience. There were people(coz they are not my friends now) who used to demotivate me. I ignored them and didn’t talk to them. It worked, and I assure that this will work for you too.

If using a computer makes you less social, how is programming worse than playing video games (which is socially acceptable). What now, studying is bad too?
But yeah, less social people tend to spend more time in front of a computer, hence the stereotype.

Just keep doing Competitive Programming at least for four years. You will see the results during campus placements and after completing your graduation, when your friends who are demotivating you will be struggling for one job and you will be having multiple offers from various companies.
and start ignoring such people and their BS talks, just focus on your skills.
P.S. : I am in final year and I have been through it.

I would say coders have a life, because coding is their life.

Coders don’t have a life!? what?.. C’mon man, having a life is not about whether or not you sit in front of a laptop all day… living your life doing what you love and not giving a damn about who looks down at you as “uncool” is what it is about. If you love to code then i’d say you will be eligible for that ‘not having a life’ title if you let someone else’s opinion alter your choices in life. Also, coders are not anti-social for heavens’ sake!.. I mean dude these words of wisdom by your friend aren’t even worth a discussion, that sounds so judgmental and literally paying heed to that makes no sense either.

Coding and social life. Two topics that are different. Latter one is life problem you can solve it. And sitting Infront of computer is making sites like insta and FB work. Say to your friend that if there weren’t any coders, they won’t be having such social life. I think it’s good argument.

Coders DO HAVE A LIFE. For sure.
I have many examples where the most brilliant coders are the most outgoing and vibrant people as well. So social awkwardness has nothing to do with coding. Moreover if you are amazing at coding, anyway you’ll land into amazing places which will eventually make your life very happening.
Cheers.
If I say you you cannot jump from the plane with parachute. Will you go now to show me? No.
Apun banenge na engineer, kisi mahapurush ne kaha hai, CP seekho (kabil bano), kamyabi to ghakk marke peeche aayegi.
Well, if you talk about girls, there are developer girls also, who are more intelligent than them.
They said you don’t have social life, what they want to do with you, play video games…Well in few years you might be writing those games.
Ignore kar!
Good luck!

you’re posting here… you are tending to think about life… you solve problems… you have confidence to do anything… and don’t you like sticking to computer screen and do random things… it’s just perspective of life which you want and totally “it’s yours choice”
What you like is your life, and being competent in something automatically gives you self-confidence. There, argument broken.

Bro!! It might be true that people who aspire to be great competitive coders work really hard to achieve that but that does not mean that they don’t have a life.What i personally feel is that they may seem dull to some but they are the ones ,most likely to be enjoying their lives ahead.
And "coders cannot talk to a girl " is pure BS.

just ignore them
I code, develop apps and even play cs with my friends + got a rich hostel life .
we as coders have to do a lot, participating in fun hackathons , work with teammates as part of codingclub, organise tech events at fests and so much more!
we do have a rich vibrant life too!

that is the biggest bull crap ive heard, ive been doing it for an year now, my mom only nags that im always stuck in laptop but deep down she understands that what i do is my passion, nd only people having passion succeed in their field. so dont be discouraged by this, nd the most important thing, choose a friend circle nd better friends that motivate u towards ur goal, nd if possible are themselves from the same field, then u might feel better while doing what u love
u cant excel in anything until u love it like crazy, nd not having a girlfriend is not something u can blame on coding, thats whole another genre, nd a lot of factors are involved. im saying this coz i have a really loving girlfriend nd she understands why i do it, nd ive involved even her into coding.
people of my class werent into CP at all, i brought them into it, so u choose what u have to be nd not let others sway u differently
