Currently I don't know what else I should do.

Yes, I like programming, but the day work is sometimes really boring. Yes, it's nice to solve problems. But most of the problems are just futile, and therefore boring.

Compared to other jobs programming is quite nice, but it doesn't fulfill me. Why? I would like to get more connected with nice, intelligent and empathetic people.

Yes, most programmers are intelligent in a way, but with most programmers I can't get connected, they just bore me. Their behavior is so predictable.




Get help immediately. Your life is too short and precious to be wasted on something unfulfilling. I don't know who you've met in this field, but my experience suggest that if you find them boring and predictable it is because you find the field boring.

I don't mean this as criticism, but when discussing programming you probably find yourself boring as well. If you aren't passionate about it... what is there that could hold your interest?

Please get some help finding something meaningful or finding meaning in what you are doing.
