Is it normal to feel like the entire world is wrong?

Here's the story. I'm 20 years old and it has been 3 years that I've been having "episodes",for example when I read or hear the news, that I feel very very imprisoned in a society that doesn't work at all. I see at all the suffering,the deaths, the lives of million of people, their dreams shattered because of how the human society works. The main concern is that I hate money, I really do. And the fact that EVERY SINGLE moment of my life is influenced by this sort of nonsensical trash really stresses me out. In the time that we live in, in this capitalistic society, money is the number one rythim that we all must respect. Even when catastrophes happen! For example,the fact that resources used to help people after some natural calamity STILL have prices(even tho I know this money is used also to pay people who is working to help others) is in its nature absurd! It's like monetizing people lives! This is really bugging me at a point where I cry a lot in front of some news that make me feel like there is no escape from this stupid circle. Sometimes I just feel so hopeless and miserable and tiny in front of this, and I hate it so much. So freaking much.

  • Fugazi,again

    Sometimes i go through a day or two where i just think my life is always going to be miserable and i can see my whole life ahead of me and ill always be poor and scared of life and never become happy or successful.

    It feels like ive already wasted every opportunity ill ever have because im 23 and i didnt do well in school or go to uni or get a trade or anything and ill never get any job other than a basic shitty minimum wage job and because of that ill never get a decent woman or have a decent home etc. But then after a day or so, i go back to normal and i feel ok and realise that i cant see the future and anything can happen and i can change as a person and the world is not all about death and suffering and its the highs and the lows that make life suchan amazing thing. Sorry for the long post but im just letting my thoughts flow out through my thumbs.

    I do agree. Money is crap. People should put their family and friends above money

    Should think happiness, love, and fun are more important than money

      I never said true peace could ever happen. In fact, my first post was pointing out how unlikely something like that could be with so many bad people. But things CAN improve you know.

    The only function of society is to keep the money and power in the hands of the people who consider themselves "elite," And money is another tool they use to control people. It's all garbage and the puppeteers on top turning different groups against each other to prevent them from working together. Bartering works better than money.

  • You aren't alone, I'd say the majority hates the idea of money, but we have this monetary system because it works. It's simple trade, we've had it since the beginning of humanity. There's plenty of ways to escape it, but very few are willing to go through with it.

    I joined a "lawless" group between ages 17 and 19, it was amazing, we were self sufficient, and the only thing we spent money on were college textbooks. Looking back on it it was basically a cult without the rituals and religion. So there's one option.

    You can escape money, but I doubt you're willing to.

    I´m absolutely certain that the increased amount of mentally ill people is because of how unnatural we are living.

    You see it all the time with other animals taken from their natural habitat when they develop behavioural issues.

    Humans aren´t meant to live like we do, if you don´t have a job and pay your taxes you are trash.
    If you aren´t good looking you are trash.

    With the internet we can connect with so many more people and we can learn about literally every fucking thing, what do we do? We engage in pointless arguments on the internet, send nudes or watch dumb shit on youtube.

    I'd rather live in an imperfect society like we have now than some utopian pipe-dream. At least there's something to strive for.

    The news?? are u kidding me? Bruh go to the library. The news barely scratches the surface of catastrophes taking place in the world.

    I mean its case by case, but usually I find it really difficult to judge people for price gouging etc. there are only like 5 million people that know how to wild harvest/hunt full diet and live in an environment where they can do that. For everyone else, money is literally what they've got, even farmers need money for all the costs associated with running a farm. So it makes sense people do whatever they can for a buck. Even billionaires can go broke, so you never know when is "enough". Some people get upset about money, capitalism, banks, money creation, property, pollution, or fractional reserve lending. But I think the turning point was agriculture 10,000 years ago, where we lost both the knowledge of how to survive off the land, as well as the land itself. Farming today is seen as a more morally defensible activity, but I mean it just existing in general can be blamed for just about every ailment we face.
    Because now the vast majority of us don't interface with the land directly for survival, and instead are put in a situation where we need to take from each other. The money I need to survive is also the money you need to survive, so we need to take it out of each others hands, there is no way around that very simply put.
    Any individual could learn how to be a hunter gatherer, but since our social structures are here no one really seems to be taking that step. But in my opinion if you are still participating in the monetary system, you are endorsing it literally and don't really get to complain, because it is at the end of the day your choice. I'm sure there are some wild edibles walking distance from you.

    Those exact same thoughts are the reason why I have a bedroom in my house devoted to nothing but guns, ammo, radios, MRE's, and other "end of days" or "bug out" preps.

    The world is fine. Your mind is what is totally wrong. Firstly, don't expect society to conform to your values. Everyone has different expectations. Most people (including me) value health above everything else. Next comes love, and then money. Your own personal skills are needed to maximize each of these for yourself. Plebeian minds think money is the antidote to stress. Not true. Money requires shrewd management, which is worth the effort because it gives us, the 1%, incredibly enriching horizons.

    Stop hating money and learn to manage it better.

    You wanna know why? Because everyone hates each other for stupid, nonsensical reasons. If all the misandrist feminazis and misogynist trump supporters and anti-whites who call people "crackers" and anti-blacks who call people "niggers" and sadists who hurt others for fun and animal abusers and child abusers and spouse abusers and student abusers and rapists and pedophiles and necrophiles and those who like snuff porn and anti-homosexuals and people in other countries who hate women but don't support trump and people that deny transsexuality and people who insist that they are other species for some reason and people who impose their religious (or lack of religious) beliefs on people that weren't bothering anyone and people who pollute the world in unnecessary ways and people who hate others for literally no reason just on a whim were GONE... The world would be a better place, but it'd be sparsely populated.

    If you want to do something about how money rules everything, there's a few things you can do:

    Farm your own food.

    Do volunteer work.

    Donate unneeded items that someone else may enjoy.

      Wow. So people here actually respond? I feel much better just for that. Thanks buddy.

        No problem. And yes we do often respond every so often.

        Just remember: As long as some people are kind and charitable in this world, good things will remain. Volunteering to help or donating something to those less fortunate than yourself will be beneficial to your mental health AND you'll be one of those taking part in improving the human race. Ever since I started volunteering at a local animal shelter to take care of needy cats I've felt LOTS better. You should try something like that. You'll be happier in the long run, I promise you that.

      yeah I like your the ideas of growing our own food and do some volunteer work.
      I am looking for where I belong and trying to stay away from the brainwashed crowd.

    The reality is more good and human progress has come out of capitalistic greed than any other system. Even if it is just a byproduct, capitalism has brought the world into a level of freedom and peace never before seen.

    It is imperfect, but it's the best fit system for how humans really act. You're 20, and if you haven't worked a job yet then you may be surprised how fulfilling a full day's work can be. It might change your perspective.
