My cup of tea in terms of philosophy is rational-egoism, anti-egalitarianism, Depressive Realism, and Existentialism.

I’ve always sound Stoicism to be geared more towards people with a certain natural born mindset. Some people say it’s a slave philosophy, I don’t think that but I do think it’s for people who are more likely to accept things rather than become revolutionary. The way I see it, it preaches that you're just supposed to restrain yourself, you just do life hacks to avoid suffering, then you die.

Procrastinating doesn’t help anything but being content with reality is a sure way of never changing anything either.

But thank you, I’ll check that stuff out.

You were complaining about the external world, saying it caused your depression and anxiety. Stoicism is about accepting the world as it is and just being grateful for the little things. You're bothered by things beyond your control. It's beyond your control, so being bothered by it is senseless. You can label it however you like as a slave morality or whatever, but I don't think you really even have a firm understanding of stoicism. You're also labelling what I'm saying as strictly stoicism, when it's not.

I wouldn't even bother trying to label ways of thinking, there's too many connections/similarities between many of them. Which reminds me of another book, Perennial Philosophy. A lot of underlying themes are similar throughout different philosophies and religions across different areas and times. That book talks about that. That was definitely an influential book for me regarding philosophy

I don’t think it’s a slave philosophy, but I’ve read some critics of it labeling it as such. I think there are some aspects of Stoicism that can be applied successfully for most people, I believe the same thing could be said for Cynicism actually. What you said seemed Stoic heavy, but I wouldn’t say purely so, but yes labeling Philosophy can be tricky as they blur lines often times. I will admit there are surely parts of that philosophy that I could add into my toolbox that I either haven’t wanted to or haven’t been able to do yet.

The political situation that is contributing to my depression and anxiety is the anti-white media, woke bs ruining entertainment, the flooding of white countries with refugees with the intention of permanently disenfranchising whites and reducing us to minorities in our own countries. Also the leftist authoritarianism running rampant, especially during this pandemic which is severely limiting liberty and privacy. Really everything the Left is doing right now I pretty much hate. I wish I could enter a time a machine and live my prime years in better times.

I won’t take the medication because I don’t feel like I have any mental illness that needs it. I feel like my problems could be solved on my own, I’m not mentally ill I just deal with anxiety and depression which is fairly normal. I know I can fix it myself.

I went to a psychiatrist, she prescribed me something and I refused to take it, I won’t take any medication they try to prescribe me. I would rather work through it on my own. I can push past the anxiety when I’m comfortable enough, I boxed at a boxing gym for years and had to be somewhat social there. But being social in a job setting with customers is different.

I try not to rant to people, if you do that too much you can sour them on your beliefs and ideology. I guess I have a chip on my shoulder, always kinda have.

Are there any jobs that require minimal human interaction and are very easy? Every single job sounds difficult for me to do. I am not good at dealing with people, I have ADD so it’s hard for me to learn how to do many tasks that I am not interested in, I have insomnia so it’s hard for me to remain on a good sleeping schedule, my social anxiety can be awful, I’m often depressed, etc. However I am almost broke, and I need money. I’m seriously considering trying to get on disability but that’s not even enough money.

I’ve never had a real job, previously I was doing yard work and delivering menus for pizzerias, and it’s been years since I did that. I managed to save up a few grand that I have slowly been chipping away at, but I’m down to my last few hundred dollars.

I was given a job as a security guard, I went through the job interview and everything. However I had to go to security training which was two 8.5 hour classes which required you to wear a mask the entire time. It also cost something like 80$ to do, and I also had to get finger printed which cost like 45$. So I just bailed on the entire thing, mainly because I can’t wear a mask that long.

I just need to figure something out, I am practically in the same boat I was in when I was 17 years old. Nothing has changed for me.
