Every comment I write seems to be more naive as time goes by with the oldest ones down right no duh or down right ludicrous.
So I hear ya.

Good thing about multiple personalities is that you have alternate views, bad news is do you trust them?

It sounds like they are wishful thinking comments , rather than Actual code comments.
Remember, Trust but verify.

lol And do you say out the logic loud?If yes, then it's a loud lie!
Just like some folks do here in my team..
They just speak out the code while typing. Sounds amusing like "Here we get the list, now this gets sorted, and pass it here.." I feel like he has a Fat mute button on his head.

That's the reason I don't read comments and only rarely write them

especially when going round and round doing the same thing and believe it will work

As an old timer in the world of programming (feed-register-release), I learned that I really cannot debug my own code - and one reason is a constant background process that simply removes thoughts about doing stupid and unexpected things to the application.
Over the years, like the rest of us, I spend a lot of effort handling boundary conditions in an attempt to foil user attempts at getting my attention. I comment all over the place - honestly, I'll admit - but sometimes what seemed so clear so long ago was apparently gibberish, after all.
Oddly, I don't remember being drunk at the time.
So - if I'm fortunate, someone will bang on it before it goes live, looking for problems. Describing the problem to someone also seems to work as I rephrase into the common speech.
But - the bottom line is that, when you wrote and released the work, you didn't leave any bugs you knew about in it (or do you work for MicroSoft?) - so why should they be easy to spot now? If they were they'd never have gotten by to begin with.
Disclaimer: the preceding was a fantasy of how I pretend I work. Any resemblance to any code that has gone live or is in beta is purely coincidental and probably a figment of both of our imaginations.

No such things as bugs - they are referred to as "undocumented product characteristics".

This why I don't generally comment my code. Once in a while I will, if it's a case of a brief explanation of an unusual algorithm, or it's not obvious as to why I did something.
I adamantly refuse to comment what code is doing, except with regard to the XML comments on library code. Yes, I'm one of those people.

On the plus side, shows that you're continuing to improve as a developer.
Seems as if every time I review something from (say) six months ago, it's "what was I thinking?"

Reading comments from 10 years ago is like finding an old diary. Sometimes you think "What was I smoking when I wrote that?" and other times you just chuckle at how naive you were.

I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Try not to be too hard on yourself, you were doing it for your own good...

I have recently begun extensively commenting my code, and discovered that it is a wonderful way to de-bug it. I write the code first, then go back and comment it testing to make sure it is really doing what I expected. Now I know purists out there will say I am doing it Bass-ackwards, but it works really well for me.

Proof that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She wouldn't be a contender for my top 100.
Not to mention that she gets on my nerves in everything she's been in that I've had the misfortune to see (which is not a lot).

Yeah, well, I'm sure you prefer Anna from "Frozen", whippersnapper!
But I've got news for you: She's NOT REAL! So grow up!
Just joking with you of course...

We've got Romanian women sitting on EVERY street corner here in Sweden. I can assure you that I know what Romanian women look like. And I'm not impressed...
Why haven't we got a "Joke but then again not" icon here on CP???
