How do you feel compared to a decade ago?

[Yuri_]

How you feel about the world, how you feel mentally, your general outlook in life, etc etc.

Back then I didn't know what grief was, and I was hopeful for the future, rather than anxious.

You became a Christian but failed to cure your roblox addiction. The saddest thing on this thread.

I’ve mostly given up on trying to get people to like me and live on my own terms without caving to various social pressures.

Good! That's a hard lesson to learn and even people who've learned it will still lapse back into it.

It's easier to be yourself than be in a constant pingpong ball state of making friends and then realizing you don't like them as much or they don't care about the real you. Loneliness sucks, but finding people who genuinely like you in spite of your weirdness and flaws is worth it.

I went from being depressed and not knowing why to being depressed and knowing why. Jury's still out on if that's an improvement.

Sounds gay, but knowing is half the battle. The rest is taking steps to help mitigate and manage it and take care of yourself.

Numb? I'm guessing a lot of the bullshit I'm noticing now is just shit that existed before but I wasn't aware of, and there's still good stuff out there like the Kiwifarms, but it's hard to not just be doompilled when you notice all of this and don't have a solution.

Humans have been bastards who kneecap themselves since ancient times. Better to focus on your community, those you love, and yourself, which is much easier said than done. It's human to become emotionally numbed by shit ass things as well, means you have empathy even if it's burnt the fuck out. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you take care of yourself because you're funny and funny people are needed in life.

Grief is a cunt. Sending you a big autistic internet hug from someone who's experienced some close person to me passing & losing friendships grief in the last 10 years .

I'll be fine regardless, it's not so much a depression as much as it's just an acceptance and realization that the rate of bullshit creation is staggering. Ten years ago I was aware of bullshit, but severally underestimated how much of it's just pumped out on the daily, and my solution is just to say screw it, I'll do my own thing and just stop trying to help others who aren't going to do any work on their end. Either that or go full Terry and cruise around yelling about glowies.

This post and the weeb avatar tells me so much about the person who posted it. I would believe this is satire if it weren't for the website we're on.

I will say how I was a decade ago with being a hermit and a loner is kind of where I'm at today. Although, there was a good period over the decade where I was happy and grew as a person. Pushed myself to get out of my shell, made some good friends, had good/bad romantic relationships, lost weight, became more outgoing, and overall just grew for the better. However, graduating from college and moving across the country on your own during the high point of Covid in mid 2020, and dealing with troubling Covid restrictions in your area does have a toll on your mental health and has caused me to grow more into my old shell of being a loner.
Although things have gone down in recent times when I feel like I'm repeating thoughts of doubt as 2012 me, I'm still hopeful for the future cause I know things like this won't last forever and just a part of life. Life really can be amazing for a time, then feel like a burden the next. I have a good job though now that actually pays well, have become more independent, gotten healthy again by going to the gym and eating, and just learning to love myself again. It's a tough uphill battle, but once I can love myself again I know better days will come for me.

i like having my own income but i hate having more responsibility. i think the current events of the world and how the internet has become have made me more hateful and cynical in recent years.

Lonely. 10 years ago it was a struggle to be left alone to study or do homework, and I rarely even walked to class by myself. Now I can go weeks or months without seeing someone I actually like, but have to pretend to enjoy my daily interactions because networking.
