I've no motivation for anything, part of it is depression, a bigger part is the enshittification of culture.

Read people, read! It takes you to another place. Check out your library!

A wise doctor told me once that most depressed people are actually just very discouraged people. We live in very discouraging times - especially if you're a social media addict or a you tube junkie with a toxic algorithm..

This is what spiritual warfare looks like.

When everything that people used to rely on to feel happiness or fulfillment became a business, that's when things started losing its intrinsic value. People used to bake cookies to have fun, then they made a business out of what brought them joy. Or people used to practice meditation to feel at peace, then they started selling meditation courses to make money. People used to make arts and crafts to release stress and do something enjoyable, something beautiful. Then they opened an Etsy shop to sell their crafts. The problem behind is the capitalist mindset that puts a material value onto everything as a way to be more rich, to have more and more. That is the death of the things people used to enjoy.

It's a collective form of ptsd that everyone is dealing with post covid. Without acknowledging the symptoms it can be very difficult to overcome the cause. Apathy based on the existential crisis many experienced when they realized how pointless and superficial most of our distractions actually are can be overwhelming.

Some comfort in knowing it isn't just me. I think we all have a yesrning to break the system

Phone brain fry is real.

What’s even more sad is that we’ll say, “damn, I don’t have 2 hours to watch this movie” because it actually feels that way, but then we’ll doomscroll before bed for 2 hours easily, if not longer. It’s not really about the time; it’s the mental engagement that feels too taxing to undertake.

The KEY feeling that is missing from today's world is the feeling of anticipation ! This feeling made things worthwhile and the oversaturated internet has killed our core soul 😢

I've been getting into the nerdy shit I was either too poor or too embarrassed to try as a kid. Magic the gathering, D&D, Warhammer... and they all come with so much lore and things to do it's hard to be bored. Helps heal my inner kid tbh.

I hate the pressure of having to be busy and be outside. It’s like living is defined for us as activities and routines and goals. We made it all up and if you don’t do the made up thing you’re a loser.

We woke up realising that we are enslaved into the system  that is feeding off our energy .Consiquently we begin to miss core of our soul and actual true values .I had this realisation when i popped  into the shop and some kid didnt had enough money for drinks,  facing rude judgmental cashier.I ended up buying drinks for kid .Kid graditude,joy  and relieve made me alive again.Just to make this kid happy.

Not depressed but extremely tired and realization it's a closed loop to work as a squirrel in a running wheel not adding optimism.

I miss comedy movies. It’s really that everything is being flattened. Food, clothes, decor, entertainment etc. I’m writing an animated series and my characters will have real arcs. I miss that.

I work at a Starbucks kiosk at a Fry’s and I’m so done with people. They’re absolutely entitled and just miserable pricks and I’ve started fighting back. I’m surprised I still have a job 😂😂😂😂

I enjoy the rituals of doing things. Like running a bath, making a cup of tea, putting a CD in the player. Just not going outside lol

I think a big part is that we are all anxious because everything could go to s**t in an instant and everyone is feeling it. If you are constantly anxious about things that just might happen globally, you can't enjoy anything. I caught myself doomscrolling a  few times and had to force myself to stop. Maybe we are all so used to it by now that we don't even notice anxiety the way we used to.

In the game Persona 3 this was referred to as "Apathy syndrome"

I’ve lost interest in everything, everything is a scam, I don’t leave my house.
