  • I do what most people do, provide myself with endless distractions

    • :) There are only so many distractions. It's hard to even be distracted from it whens it's in your face all the time.

        That's true, they always run out, and when they do there's always a feeling of fuck what now, I completely related to this post, right down to almost wish I was that too, living in a kind of ignorant bliss I guess

        But why do you feel like you can't let yourself think, why you have to settle to just cope? fuck that, you deserve more than that, almost everyone does, distracting myself and stopping myself from having thoughts is probably the most self destructive things I've done, because when I do allow myself time to think, I often make sense of a lot of shit, end up asking why I feel the need to distract myself why I feel sick of the world around me, and if no one does that no one's gonna get answers, focusing on ways to cope is like just putting a plaster on an infected wound

        Obviously everyone's different so I don't think there's one universal right answer but I really hope you find yours

        • So true. It's hard for me to explain I just know there is more to this life than what society's path has laid out. But to even survive or make it I have to follow society's rules. I hate that. I just can't believe that is what I am meant for. I don't mean this in a vain way or that I am better than anyone, but it almost feels like I have some type of knowledge more so than others I just haven't quite figured it out. You said it best, Ignorance is bliss. I sometimes feel I could be that way and be better off for it. I feel like my life would be so much different if I didn't feel this way. It really is a self sabotaging way of thinking. I just wish I could find a happy medium between the two. It does make me feel a lot better to know that I am not alone in this thinking. It really is a lonely place sometimes.

          • Why do you HAVE to follow all society's rules? Most people don't and it's the ones who blindly do so who have boring unproductive lives.

            Break a few of the rules in ways that don't harm ourself or others and see where that takes you.

            Which rules do you believe you HAVE to follow anyway?
