I believe most people feel like they are just surviving, especially now with all the doom profiting on the internet, especially social media makes people very anxious. I would argue society has depression, with self destructive ideation, we keep telling ourselves how evil we are and we deserve to be punished for it.

I'm 31 and the world is a cold and lonely place now. Growing up everything felt more vibrant. Knew everyone in the street, regular parties, riding bikes and exploring the bush with the neighbourhood kids. No one does that anymore. Everyone lives insular lives and so much time is spent at work/thinking about work/recovering from work and you never really see people, maybe a quick wave as they drive out in their car. Life has become so lonely and unsatisfying..

Have you tried cocaine?

Yep

100% true.

Absolutely and something Ive been telling myself of late is that we cannot control those things that are outside our power .We have to let go and just be

This is also affecting me. For some odd reason i keep in touch with the harsh reality that we live in, the ugly truths and misery, and altough i am a prodictive, full of joy and life person publicly, i identified myself 100% with this video.

You can’t carry all the weight.

This is absolute truth and something that needs to be repeated and taught and reinforced in everyone. We neglect our mental health even more than we neglect our physical health. It's become and still becoming a crises worldwide yet is often ignored.

Same😔

Yes. I got the notification and it hit so hard. I've been struggling with this feeling for a while, and to see a video come up describing it exactly, makes me feel a lot better about my experience.

Individuality is a myth, almost everyone goes through the same exact things

​@@kelechi_77definitely. It's really crazy how similar we all are - and I mean that in an ancestral and evolutionary context. But in terms of how we're different from one another, I think it is just a matter of how we choose to experience certain things, and how we value ourselves and our surroundings. Upbringing is a prominent factor as well.

So damn true.

I found d there is a difference between enjoying life and chasing novelty. The latter leads you down a very dull and cynical path.

So true 👍

I think there is an even greater sense of fulfillment lurking in the world where you no longer live life for just yourself, but to contribute something great. Perhaps even make considerable, painful sacrifices. It may not be enjoyable but the line gets blurry between that deep sense of joy in the midst of pain and suffering where it's hard to define real happiness. But it seems like, for most people who went through it say that living a meaningful life was worth the sacrifice. When you help others, you become closer to the image of good. It's not a leap everyone can make immediately, but it seems like real fulfillment after you have handled what you need for yourself.

You needing to realize it means were all fucked up. Some shit happens then you go back to what you just said, and just fucking scream. You believe in what you realize until you dont lmao.

​@ErenYeagerOfYmir Giving to others can get you to this bad place too, though. As a parent, teacher, and coach who has sacrificed and given every ounce and minute to others, I can tell you that it will burn you up. Very few people are grateful or appreciative- most don't notice and many along the way will complain and attack you for not doing it the way they want. It's becoming thankless, meaningless, excruciating work. There needs to be a balance. Balance between material wealth, spiritual and emotional wealth, personal striving and giving to others. As a society, we are very unbalanced because we no longer balance each other out like back before cable news and internet we just validate and magnify our own silo of belief, and we become less balanced. The decrease of religion and virtue, and increase of entertainment and vice has also gotten us here. We are sick, from top to bottom, more every day.

That moment is poof nothing has changed at all. You can drop it anytime you like.

@@deadinside8781drop what?

I felt that way, too, when I was much younger. Then people, like my parents and older brother and sister, shamed me for acting the way I did. My (late) parents used to give me lengthy lectures on how bad I acted and how I should be ashamed of myself. And there were times when I got punished. So perhaps that's where the "limiting" comes from.

I can barely remember the last time I had real, honest to god, shameless fun. I feel like I’ve stepped into a reality where it just doesn’t exist anymore.

Try disc golf, and you will feel that way every single time you play!

Is the building of the castle a way to give life some meaning (“I’m building something!”) / kill time?

@@farmersmith7057 I think he meant that we build a castle to protect ourselves, which is why we become isolated

Police work will break the best kind of men. I loved the job but it's thankless from every aspect of it. I was medically retired and 5 years later, I'm finally seeing what life can be like without violence 24/7. So many friends have killed themselves or just start doing stupid stuff because if you seek mental health help, you risk losing everything.

You have my respect and thanks.

I retired last year after 30 years in Law Enforcement, 3 years with Immigration and 27 years as a DEA agent. I did not see as much as patrol officers or homicide detectives but I saw enough, and I saw some different things about the system that have made me think a lot of things are a complete joke. I watched the world slowly crumble year after year, and the efforts of those to maintain some semblance of order and prosperity get pushed aside, by the public, politicians, and businesses in an ever more mad dash by too many people make money and gain power at any cost, even as it destroys them and everything they touch. I was happy to retire, it was time, but I think it was a career well spent, lots of good memories and lots of good friends. This year was rough, it seemed life waited to dump a bunch of things on my just as I was retiring which made my life chaos. I still feel like I haven't retired because I am always having to fix thing and deal with issues, but I am slowly getting things worked out. It helps I keep in contact with my friends from work, many who have retired, and work out, exercise, and eat better. I too would love to go back to being more innocent and naive. So I keep moving forward. I worked my whole life for something, making plenty of sacrifices along the way, I'm not giving up now. I still find so many things interesting and learn so much every day. I have realized that I need to break old habits, I don't need to the follow routines of old, I can do what I want to a much greater degree now. I try not to dwell on things I can't change and try to enjoy the time I have on this earth that is left to me regardless of the things I know and have seen. I know what is the worst thing that can happen, we all do, but in knowing that its easy to forget all the good things, big and small, that are there are still left. A good meal, family and friends, a good show, a good laugh, a beautiful day, and so many other things still left to enjoy in life. Raise your head up high, take a deep breath, you did good. That part of life is in the past now, don't forget about the life that is still in front of you, the one you worked all those years to enjoy now.

I’m an ER doctor. I’m in the same boat as you.

I once wrote a song where there was a line I wrote that said the following, "Nothing seems to captivate me" that still rings true for me, at least most of the time. The thrill, the zest and eagerness to experience and live this life feels like it has faded, nothing excites me as it once did, I get bored of things so quickly, nothing really holds my attention anymore, I pick up a song and quickly drop it out of boredom, I give up on something so easily because it's too difficult and the chances of success so low. I guess in a way I have become the embodiment of nihilism, life has just been too difficult these past few years that it really has done a number on my psyche, radical shift in my thinking and views on life

Y is it u know so much about it ?

Oh I still feel terror, dread. Just not much else.

I've always known that most people are idiots to various degrees, it's just that when you're younger you have the energy to seek out people who aren't idiots. By the time we're in our fifties and sixties, if we've been disappointed by enough people we put our trust and faith in, we give up. Special and interesting people are rare, and unfortunately they often don't have the space or time for us in their lives, which is their loss as well as ours.

​@@NateDoesYTim guessing it's about how when we were all children, we were curious, full of wonder with a sense of hopefulness, innocent. we did not have pessimistic views or expectations. but as we age, we learn, but mold and harden from all of the experiences we go through in life. and some of these experiences may leave us on the wrong footnote, a sour taste in our mouth, and it can impact your outlook on life and outlook on certain situations. so when a certain situation comes, we will use our previous experience as a point of reference. but this can blind us from the reality of the situation, which really is not as bad as we expect, but really, we are just using what we learned from what has happened to us before.

I lost my Dad, too, about 2 years ago. He was my mentor in the trade I work in. I had to move away because we couldn't get along working together everyday. Once I moved 3 hours away, we had holidays and other great times for decades. He grew old and passed suddenly and we kids were left to sift through his belongings. We had never experienced a time when we couldn't reach him to ask him things. There was a huge void in our lives, which we try to fill for one another. I had never experienced the level of grief that I had after losing my Dad. I found that grief was weird and painful and inappropriate and very unpredictable. Things are getting a little easier as time passes. The amount of time between feeling the need to speak with him or see him or think about him gets a bit longer with each month. My Dad equipped us kids with the skills and confidence to carry on without him. Reading your comment here makes me wonder if your Mom equipped you with that confidence and necessary skills. I say that without judgement or criticism, only compassion. I have a very sweet hound dog named Bingo. He's peculiar in many ways. One of the most striking ways is that he can be in a room full of people, about 20 or so and be quite content. Let one person walk out the door, though, and he's pining at the door for hours. Fretting and worrying about the one person he saw leave and ignoring the 19 people who would enjoy his company if he turn his focus on the people who remain. He is a silly coon hound who spends a lot of energy worrying about something that he has no control over. The worry and stress rob him of the joy of the remaining company at hand. I'm sure that nobody can replace your Mom. Nobody. I do have a video of Bingo on my channel. Bingo is not a metaphor. He is real and he really does act that way. So, maybe when you have grieved all you're supposed to grieve for the loss of your Mom, you can start to look outside of your situation and find someone to help in some small way. Mow some grass for a neighbor. Volunteer at some charity. It doesn't have to be forever. You'll meet some new people. Some you'll want to spend time with, some you won't. They don't have to know why you're helping. I'll be lifting your situation to the Lord in the meantime.

My father passed away 10 years ago. I used to feel that way until I realized how much my dad lived... the way he lived his life inspired me to live mine. Now, I don't feel as happy as I was with him around, but that experience made me the strong person I am. I live a life with a new, fresh air of freedom, and that makes me feel joyful. I'm grateful about it... :)

I mean, what do you even do at this point? I find myself in a similar situation as you are except that I'm 20. I'm hoping that this will build for a better life that puts me in a position where I have more freedom as I get older, but it does feels as if its a cycle I can't nor want to escape despite the solitude and boredom it brings

@ericmendoza1818 Hey I do wanna point out that my position is still subjective even if others happen to share similar experiences in the comments, my point being that there is a better life out there for us but we do have to hold ourselves accountable and put in work to change our lives step by step. You still have forever and a day yet buddy, I wish I had your insight at your age when I lacked discipline and saw no path ahead, just took in life day by with nothing but hope for the future guiding me. Take the opportunity to work on your career and set up for retirement in your 20's, that sense of having a safety net for the future will help with our types of struggles. Thanks for commenting.

Damn i felt this in my bones.

​@@ericmendoza1818Everything is subjective. True freedom is an illusion. Simply put, seek what your subjective perspective deems worth the effort of trying your hardest. And for that, with your mindset, you should be ready to diе for it as it essentially concerns the very reason you persist existing. Even if you die while having failed, at least you lived a life where you pursued what you wanted till the end, no? Better than nothing, really. Besides, pursuing what you truly like brееds passion. So the first step here is to engage in retrospective and dig deep down yourself until you find your true desires buried within your true self that you might not even know you had, as everyone tends to create a personality model that suits their environment rather than their true perspective and desires. After you find it, you'll know what to do. And.. If it's something unrealistic which, no matter how hard you think about it has no way to become reality, then, well, your last option is remodelling yourself. We're malleable. Our environment and personal experience shape us like incandescent glass. As such, you can remodel yourself by deconstructing and reconstructing yourself into a new personality model with more realistic desires. It might feel like ending who you are but we're really no one, just who our personal experience determined. In a way, such an act is actually becoming someone of your own design, truly yours. There was a quote from a guy that as long as you feed your subconscious something and nourish it with repetition, it will become your reality. That's all I have to say, you do you.

I hope you find your peace, and then some joy

losing a loved one is very difficult to come to terms with, but if we could speak with them, just one more time, they would tell us to be strong, that they want to see us happy, and if somehow we can meet again, they'll hope that we share the best moments of our lives and what we've achieved since they left.

That is so sad and I can't begin to imagine how hard that is for you to deal with and I wish people didn't have to experience it, especially as a child

You really have to practice the "meaningless small talk and pretending". Try to look on the bright side. In a world where everyone is totally insane, chronically tense, full of rage, and somehow bland and boring at the same time, it gives anyone a chance to do the opposite and be quite appealing and desirable. Push out of your comfort zone. You make it sound like you're in a really small bubble. Pretend to be chronically fun for a while and see where it takes you!

your only weird to those who are unable or unwilling to understand or accept you for you. Always remember to be unique is a quality most dream of, embrace it. Sometimes our insecurities are our strongest tool. Have empathy for those who need others to validate who they are. I have 1 rule and that is not cause harm to others. Most of us become the solution to our own problem...?whatever you feel your missing do for others.

Hey brizzie, dont talk about me like that. Damn mindreader

how the hell do u support yourself then??

Forrest Gump's mumma told him on her death bed - "Dying is a part of life" for what that's worth to us. I can relate to your comment for sure!

Yes, but it can be seen in many ways. “Memento mori” (remember death) was whispered to Roman emperors in order to ‘keep them human’ and for them to realize that they cannot continue forever. This can be seen as a defeating idea (as is by our society today). It’s best to see both ways: You will die so don’t put too much pressure on yourself but you will die so do something that is meaningful to you

I feel you. This is very likely the first signs of a generation that has been destroyed by social media. Nothing matters because nobody matters. There is no reason to keep this torch lit for the next runner. The track is under water and everyone is standing still on their phones while the water rises.

34 here, I totally agree. I get bored of things so quickly, nothing really excites me like it once did. I am not depressed, I do not feel unhappy or down I think that hardships in this life just radically changed my brain to not really allow me to enjoy things like I used to, for fear of it being taken away, or being to optimistic and because so much pain and suffering is all around us, so feeling indifferent, or nothing must a way of protecting myself for when something bad does come along but it's a double edged sword because it makes actually feeling things and enjoying life yield no pleasure or happiness

Yep spot on. Exactly on point. Its just indifferent to everything. Not depression or whatever just don’t give a crap about anything.

What is the solution

The solution is to stop asking for solution from chronically online people like us. The happy people are outside living their grand life, you can't find any solution here. We don't know anything.

What a beautiful, relevant and true comment. Thank you.

I think your cat finished your last sentence.

Thanks for the laugh, really. I was thinking, dude had a stroke?

while I share your observations, it cannot be that everyone is ureliable, unfriendly etc, right? I mean you might have to seek for quite some time, but it is still possible to find good people, and with them being scarce, you might even appreciate it more when you find en befriend one.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that ALL humans suck, there are some truly good people out there that are genuinely passionate about helping others, respecting the environment, and other (non-human) animals. Unfortunately there are enough bad people on this planet in overwhelmingly large numbers who make our species seem terrible. As self destructive as we are, I’m really quite surprised that we’ve lasted for as long as we have.

Jordan Peterson said, “There is no difference between thinking about yourself and being miserable.” It’s not easy to let go when all day every day you are with yourself, but in the actionable care for oneself, it’s what needs to be done. You only find it when you stop looking.

How?

I’m turning 44 in a month, and having similar aspects to my professional work, what you wrote is exactly how I feel. Until I saw this video, I thought I was losing my mind and the only person that felt this way, when I guess all this time that perhaps it’s an unavoidable step in our journey. Here is to the both of us trying to regain that whimsical wonder to feeling like we can experience what means to feel/be alive again.

Same dude, it's freeing though when you remove that weight off your psyche.

I feel like that's a valid stage to be at. Maybe while there you can manage to find yourself and what you really value.

Cool, you’re about halfway there. Don’t rush it. Cheers anon1694.

Selfishness is somewhat necessary, but too much can be toxic. Do people need people to survive?

love ur profile pic

I think that's something you tell yourself. I know some older people who are quite involved.

The world just gets less involved with us It doesnt want to be involved with middle aged decaying people.

You'll probably regret it when you grow older

Nailed. although I don't even care for half the list.

Only in America

@@nani8701yep! The rest is trying to figure out where their next food is coming from

We end up consuming too much redpill material and pushes even further from closeness with women😢

is this Wojak?

Would be nice to go back and tell that 18 year old you how it is and not to mess it up.
