How do you guys deal with life being so meaningless? (calling out wiseoldape) (srs)

Life just feels so meaningless. I thought stopping hookers (only banged 2 in the last 6 months) and gambling would solve my problems but it hasn't.

Life just feels so meaningless. Especially as an incel. The only people that really care about you is your parents (if you're lucky) and maybe your close friend or two

You are just a disposal number at work. You are just a temporary place holder for women.

You could wake up jerk off all day be over weight and watch hentai
or you could workout try hard at your job and learn a few things

but in both situations what difference does it ****ing make? nothing. It's meaningless. You're just a replaceable resource in the world. No one would care in a few years if you died except for your few friends and parents.



The only time i felt this inner strength and purpose was when i had a girlfriend and felt like i had to provide as my life meant something to someone.


How do you cope just waking up each day workig a job you don't really give a **** about? Working out and "doing hobbies" to pass time till you get old and die with the occasional sex once in a while????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????

Meaningless equals freedom

Because nothing really matters you’re free to take risks and create any life you want for yourself because at the end of the day fuk it

I had a dream last night about this ltr I had.

She was off in the distance and I was trying to hide from her in plain sight. We were at the ocean or something and she was at a bungalow with her sister (I think).

I woke up feeling so sad about that.

Dreams are one of the best parts of life is what I’m getting at, so get to sleeping op.

It's not. You decided that your life was meaningless. You sat down and said "my life will not be meaningful until I have X/Y/Z."

That was your decision.

You assigned a set of values, and created expectations for your life. When they weren't met, you decided that your life as it was... Was not enough.

Make no mistake, this wasn't exactly a completely conscious decision, but it was the end result of the way you live your life and assign values to people, places and things. It was the end result of your lack of stability, and your inability to move past your own shortcomings or hangups.

Consider that two people can look at the same situation and come up with very different conclusions, and recognize that the only reason your life "doesn't have meaning" is because you lack perspective.

Actually it made lots of sense brah. It’s all whatever you believe. Even the belief that nothing matters (nihilism) is still actually a belief. Takes a couple of times for it to click

It isn't. It's meaningless to you because yours is. You describe a vapid and self indulgent life that doesn't lead to anything greater than literally ejaculating.

We can get into word semantics etc, but that really just proves his point even more. It can mean nothing (to you it means nothing) or it can having lots of meaning, it can even be a means to make meaning out of meaninglessness (srs)

yeah this is precisly my point. its just spinning circles to cope with the fact you have no real philosophy of reality and you need the 'circles' spinning to stop you from facing that fact.

Op
Life is meaningless.
We are just the product of chaotic events that lead to the formation of life on earth.
Evolving from primitive prokaryotes to the complex multicellular eukaryotes with reason that we are today.


You are seeing life as it is, without any form of romantism.
Most people can't handle it, and they have things like significant others and or children to escape the reality of the universe.

This is why I don't even care about saving the environment anymore.

Imagine. You're the only you that will ever be. The only you that will have ever been. There will never be another you. Ever. The millions of other sperm that didn't make it, and you get to experience life. You're doing better and living better than a lot of the population on earth.

And what are you doing with yourself to make the most of your short lived existence? Moping about your ex. Thinking life is meaningless. Everyday. What good is that going to do you?


That's not it dude. Be happy you're alive. You can taste, hear sounds/music, feel emotions.

Like. I want to say more. But, I think it'll just be a waste of time on you.


Have a long think about yourself.

Exactly why he shouldn't be Moping around and wasting his short lived life.

If life is so meaningless. End if if you feel that way. You won't. And I hope you won't.

Be happy you get to experience it is all I'm saying.

Ignorance is bliss, being aware is torture but you have to train you mind not dwell on the sheer horror that is eternal non-existence. Just hope one day you die in your sleep.

This could be the 200th thread posted by this guy full of platitudes that OP will not take in.
Or, it could be the 1st thread that no-one wastes their time, everyone negging him. The 1st of many more until he becomes red.

Not your fault you're feeling this way OP, many do. Nihilism is the disease of the modern world.

As long as our society lacks religion and other traditional social norms, this will only get worse, modern tech and social media are catalysts for this tendency.

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.

But now, do as you please, find something you love and enjoy your freedom that this type of society we live in gives us. It has its perks too.

Thank you but this is my point exactly, people are negging me and stuff but i want a serious discussion (srs). I'm not trolling i just do not see the point anymore.

I will most likely not have kids or get married due to my **** tier genetics. I felt amazing when I had a loving submissive beautiful indian girlfriend. I felt motivated to work and earn money because i could provide and take her out . I felt like a man.


I went to a religious school and I believed in God. And thing's were God's plan and everything happened for a reason.. but now i realise that's all bull****... there IS NO ****ing plan or no ****ing point.

Then you get to work... and you realize all you are is just a cog in a big machine and your job is pretty much meaningless.


So what is the point of anything?

Family + Religion is probably the answer but that world does not exist anymore. Maybe i'll start ****ing subscribing to only fans. What else is there to do with my income? Work hard and save for a house for what? To live in it and watch TV after work by myself. To **** some random slut and kick out the next day? I could earn 150k a year or 40k a year right now and i doubt i'd feel any different. There's no motivation for men to work hard in society anymore. The juice is not worth the squeeze. Climb the corporate ladder work hard and be depressed all the time all for what? A nice office and a bit of prestige knowing you earn more than the average person? lmfao.

So what's left? Just gym, go out with your friends, and do something random that will make you feel aright for a while till you get old ????????????? then what???????????????????????? there is no direction or purpose or plan or anything to really strive for. "get richer" "get bigger" "get a better job" so you keep leveling up.. Where does the buck stop? Self improvement is masturbation.

Some "progress" is false progress and leads society off a cliff. That's why we need clear borders, laws and social norms.

The idea of man becoming an ubermensch was a noble idea but flawed, the last 100 years showed us that a society without religion or any strict societal norms is doomed.

As OP stated, many people fall into the trap of nihilism because we lack the traditional foundation a society needs to survive. So many statistics that point this out too.

At this point I am 70% sure we are in a simulation.

Tho I am not sure if everyone else other than me is an AI, some are humans some are AI or I am the AI.

Truman Show would make sense too
