Felling insignificant

Sure, welcome to the club! xD
It can be a scary feeling because everything you know; everything you hold as having importance to you...doesn't matter after all. But do we really need to make such a significant change to the world? Well, if it matters to you and to the people around you, then isn't that enough? Us tiny humans have only got each other. Maybe it's nothing in the vastness of the universe, but that's okay. As Stone_love said, it's pretty incredible that we exist. Make the most of it! It's hard to be at peace with the idea of being so small, but it's a huge shift in perspective, so that's normal.

It used to make me feel sick and a little panicky (I wonder if that's normal? :/) but now it's not such a big deal to me anymore. I've accepted it.

i know the feeling you mean, but personally i love that! for me it's comforting to realize what an amazing universe it is and how lucky we are to be here, human, on earth and able to see some of it. it just makes me feel lucky. maybe you're afraid of the unknown. try to think of it as something beautiful!

I've never fell insignificant. But I have FELT insignificant. We are extremely extremely tiny. Pounds and pounds of pressure is on our shoulders and head. Our universe is only expanding and the speed of every revolution around the sun and the sun in the galaxy is speeding up until everything drifts so far away from each other it freezes over. And there isn't a thing we can do about it. Of course I feel insignificant.

I feel you, a combination of things has made me feel insignificant... But that has changed my life for the better.

The first thing which made me insignificant is the fact that I study mathematical physics at university and my favourite part is cosmology, the whole earth is majorly insignificant and there are so many of us on it!

The second was LSA (similar to LSD, found in certain legal seeds)...
On the drug I realised that before us there are a lot more people who are already dead than are alive right now and the fact that no matter how hard I work in life I will end up in the same place as someone who doesn't.

I contemplated (intellectually) the idea of suicide and how it would mean someone doesn't have to bother with all the hardships in life, and will end up the same as someone who does.

Then I realised:

If I am so ridiculously insignificant and I'm going to die one day no matter what... Then I need to rethink my life and make sure I am doing what I want to do, rather than what society wants me to do.

Therefore I am going to spend the majority of my wages when I finish university... On having fun, exploring new things, visiting the whole world, if I have a great job I will retire at a young age and do whatever I feel like.

Good philosophy on life I think.

Next time try taking smaller hits.
