I'll always find something to complain about
This is a DECISION. And you can just as well decide differently.
This guy gives a totally different answer. What's up with that.
Sitting inside all day, drinking, doing edibles, Playing vidya or watching shitty uninspired Politics Youtube videos
Choices.
Those things aren't stopping you. Being lazy and comfortable and attached to the comfort of having an excuse not to work is stopping you. The one person in a billion who sort of has a view you like gives you the hook you want so you can say, whew, thank God, I can't do anything, it's over. Not having to face a difficult, uncomfortable, possibly painful project - and even worse, possibly
failing at it even after effort - is a big comfy blanket of familiarity, low expectations, and safety,
Of course, it's also self-destructive, and self-destructive people are people with wounds to or deficiencies in their sense of self. Right, I'm sure it won't shock you to hear.
And because it's great and it costs me nothing to do, I'll toss out
a book I've recommended here before (access link via vpn/tor.), even though you've absolutely ignored everything I tossed at you lol - even the lowest-tier effort on earth, of resting on a good feeling for 10 seconds - that could possibly lead to having to acknowledge or investigate even the tiniest path that might possibly be positive, or at worst is neutral...and I'd say "and costs you nothing," but that's the apparent point: anything less than leaning in to total doom and paralysis threatens your whole framework...but it also threatens your indolence. If something were good, the universe might expect more of you, and expectations are scary and painful when you live mentally like a cornered badger.
I hope you look into insurance options, go take a walk outside, and/or just turn off all machines - all the way off - and spend 15 minutes or an an hour with no digital or picture-based stimulation. But that's between you and you.
I should've read your comment before I typed the above. 100% agree with every thing you said (except the tinfoil hat point; young people have always been known for both having difficult and strong emotions/depression, and to be prone to overindulging in them. It sure wasn't
The Even-Keeled Joys of Young Werther. (
This is a not-bad, very simple modern description of Werther's depression, self-indulgence, arrogance, and pointless, hopeless, dramaqueen dwelling. Only quibble is the "obviously he had [clinical dignosis]"; I like my 18thc century literary figures free of shorthand psychiatric terms; even if correct or mostly correct, it ruins the romance and artistic effort to reduce it to Reddit-chair diagnosis, but I digress.
Anyway, dead on.
