Are You Normal?

I've given up on trying to have fun

44% Normal

Every time it either goes wrong, or is mediocre-shitty. Nothing's ever that good, and I can never allow myself to expect joy to come from anything I do.

It's not even a question of whether I should end my life anymore. I know it's not worth meandering through all this bullshit for a few short kernels of contentment. I dare not even say happiness. I'm too much of a pussy to do so, though.

I feel like if there was some asshole right in front of me right now, I'd rather enjoy strangling the life out of the stupid fuck.

I hate this fucking website. I hate anime. I hate shitty video games. And I hate human nature.

It's a sick sad world for sure. Many people find it comforting to stay on the sidelines and watch all the misery and pathetic ignorance on television in their parents basement. Popcorn and soda make it all extra special.

Heres the thing. Humans want pleasure. Every single thing we do is to try and feel good and avoid discomfort. Advertiser know this and do everything they can to convince you that there is something wrong with you and that you need to fix it. The media is a machine designed to manipulate you.
You have been conditioned to believe that you must feel good all the time. We have a pill for everything now including sadness ie anti depressants.
The truth is that its not the shitty feelings that cause you suffering its the craving for something else, the resistance to the difficulties. The thoughts about how youre broken which then lead to more and more misery.
If you try to seek happiness it will forever elude you because by seeking it you are coming from a place of lack. A belief that you do not have it. A belief that its over there and once you get A B or C you will then be happy. But once you get those things there will always be something else. The goal posts will keep shifting just out of reach and you will never be satisfied.
You must try to see through the illusion. Dont buy into the very powerful forces all around you telling you that youre not enough. You are enough. You are not broken. Stay strong and focused. Allow yourself to feel like crap. It will pass like everything else. If you can let go of the resistance you are on your way. You already have happiness but youve been tricked into believing that you dont.
Do something to strengthen your awareness like meditation. This will help you to remain "awake" so you can see reality and not be fooled by the lies. The mind needs to be trained. If we neglect it we pay the consequences just like when we neglect the body. It takes practice to awaken.
It is all part of the circle of life. We come into the world through pain and suffering. Our mothers suffered for us. We are thrust into the coldness and harsh light. Ripped from our comfort zone. Adversity is how we grow.

  Interesting. I think there's something useful to take away from what you've said. However, I don't think you understand the perspective that I'm coming from as well as you seem to think.

    Youre right, I dont understand you but Im approaching this from a place of experience and I have an understanding of human nature and the cause of suffering. If you are unhappy because nothing is fun or the fun you are trying to have feels dull and mediocre and you hate everything then you are in suffering. Its your choice to stay in that place or to find a way out. Like all humans you have the ability to see life from many perspectives but sadly its very easy for us to become stuck in a groove or a rut. Im letting you know that there is a better way. A more skillful way to approach life.

I can't find joy, either. I can't enjoy things that should make me happy. I'm take an antidepressant, but I don't think it's enough. Or maybe there's something else I need to do.

I was terrified by the idea of going white water rafting (I live in Colorado) but once we were out there it was amazing. I think you need to find that kind of shit in your life.

  Maybe you're right. Doing something a little wild could add some needed flavor to my life.

Why do you think you're so angry and hateful? Do you not have a good relationship with yourself?

I'm sorry you feel this way. How old are you? Do you have a job or school? There has to be something you enjoy doing, at all?

      Sorry, I'd rather keep my age range relatively ambiguous. As for work, the type doesn't matter as long as it's something I'm able to do well, and it isn't overwhelmingly disgusting (like sewer work).
