I made a video on this last night and tried to talk about it but I really don't know what else to say. I started feeling like this in 2015 or 2016.

OP, you're a lost cause. Sometimes it's better to capitulate than to keep fighting.

1)Absorption and enjoyment tend to bring about a sense of meaning- (paraphrased) Simon Blackburn, philosopher.

Find your passions, and feed your passions. Develop the ability to find beauty in the little things (i.e. gratitude), because that gives anyone a sense of absorption and enjoyment. There are a lot of studies that show that gratitude increases happiness. Are you generally an ungrateful person OP?


2)"Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. That finding proved true across the board among both the Harvard men and the inner-city participants."

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/sto...nd-happy-life/

How are your close relationships? Do you have a sense of belonging?


3) Developing emotional intelligence, and healing trauma.

Poor emotional intelligence can stand in the way of finding our true passions, and forming close positive relationships with others.

Read some Nietzsche, he tackles these questions. He thought that if man became an "ubermensch" we could thrive in a society without religion, problem is we are humans and flawed so that didn't work out...

Going back to a traditional society is the only way out of this..

The irony of those statements is that you are on the misc.

Which does not spread traditional culture, by any means. It demands it of women, but we men on here are talking about hnnnnnnnngggggggg, banging sloots, whoremaxxing, why women who aren't of above average looks are worthless, anti-marriage, pro-MGTOW, etc.

I'm not a trad dude, so I'm not being a hypocrite myself, but I always scratch my head when guys on the misc talk about a need to return to trad values and lifestyles, when the misc promotes degenerate values and lifestyles.

Miscers are not traditional men, and traditional women would want nothing to do with men who think they way miscers do. They are looking for religious, family and community minded men, not men talking about eating ass, banging sloots, and squirming over IG models.

Ever hope that the saddest/most horrific lives you read of aren't real people? Seems like many now actually think this way about a lot of "others". See: NPC.

Easy that's a simple explanation. Because I/we lack the power to change society (for now)

As I also stated ITT, this extremely liberal society also has its perks so take advantage of it.

People only remember thee good times.
Comfort and technological progress =/= happiness.

Explain why people, men and women are all miserable then as studies show us. Same with the rampant anti depressive medication usage.

For me sheer horror is eternal existence. I don't think many people have really thought about immortality....

Life is in fact meaningless. The only hope anyone has is to create their own meaning. You can do this by challenging yourself to address the things in your life you avoid.

You have the power to change your own life, and life trad life.

But that's better discussed in this thread I made inspired by your posts...
