I have no true satisfaction or passion in life. I work, I go home, and that’s about it. No friends.
Why I work so hard knowing I’m basically someone else’s slave I’ll never know. I spend too much of my life doing things I don’t actually want to do.
I’m grateful for what I have, but I do not have joy. I do not have satisfaction. And I feel rather dull and Grey.
And I often wonder what the point of it all is. Why do I continue anyway?

I believe it is true that humans are social creatures at the end of the day, and even if we’re introverted to a degree, we still need to interact with someone at some point throughout the day, lest we want to go insane. It’s why solitary confinement is a form of punishment.
I’ve been in a rut myself. The few friends I have and family members I haven’t reached out to in months. I find I have trouble reaching out and setting up things to do with people. I’m a sheltered individual and that’s why my social skills are so shit outside of work and school. So I can understand where you’re coming from.
I will say I have a job I really like doing, something I’ve wanted to do for so long now. But that’s the exception to the rule. A lot of jobs are just jobs, and we should use jobs to get money and find/do the things we want with that money. It’s just irritating with inflation and rising costs of living everywhere that make it more difficult to do so…
It’s never a simple “don’t worry be happy” for individuals like us. We have to work harder on our own mental states than the average person. So I do hope that you’re able to at least find one healthy thing that you can do simply for you as a start.

wow, so that job is working out for you? That’s great Trey!

>>bc we have no choice? we were never asked to be born in the first place. and if we don’t do what we’re “supposed” to do (work like a slave just to pay rent and bills), what else is the alternative? the only “choice” we have is to continue or off ourselves. and offing ourselves is a hard thing to do, both physically and psychologically. and that’s why we’re all still here. -_-
