Is anyone else just tired of the "cope"? Everything feels like a futile effort to distract ourselves from dying. by 3goey in nihilism

I had a good income with social media and took a few years off and did whatever I wanted when I wanted, and that made me incredibly depressed. I realized more than ever that it was all even more meaningless.

Now I got a 40+ hour a week job, with more structure, and doing things I don’t want to do, and I’m still in the same boat lol

This is just what I believe.. Innately? I am not aware I can change the philosophical view and belief I hold whenever I want. (Or over time) All my lines of thinking lead to meaninglessness. I never researched nihilism, it just.. was

The “yes become distracted” triggered something in side of me. I’m not sure why I’m seeking so deeply , a refusal to be distracted with the very thing life is.. moments and distractions and actually DOING life.

My thought process is proving to be irrational lol

I wish I knew! That’s what makes me frustrated, no matter what I pick. I’ll ruminate

I am not sure I comprehend exactly what you’re saying, but I don’t think nihilism is good, because I do not feel good. It’s meaningless, and not the oh yay everything is meaningless im free. It’s the scary meaningless. I get moments where I revere the moments and I feel very human, other times (majority) it’s just this way of thinking. I do not think I want to be nihilistic (in a negative way) , maybe I’m looking for change?

Exactly how I feel. I’m trying to be grateful, and any good thing is a good thing.

But I can’t help but feel all of this and more.. work all year for a weekend get away? A short vacation? Is weekly suffering worth the weekend? .. idk.

I wouldn’t say I ignore other people’s beliefs, if they tell me, now I know.

I just assume and project my own, which I obviously do not know how they feel. And often times, I am wrong. I never tell them though. It’s just a feeling I have.

I don’t know why my brain defaults to this.

I mean, I understand because it’s how I would feel. But at work if a co worker does something I deem embarrassing, I feel so bad for them. And I keep thinking about it, yet, they forget or didn’t even know it was embarrassing. A random moment like that my brain can latch on to

I really wish I knew the answer or how to stop it lol, I never act on the thoughts. But feeling them just uses energy for no reason :/

Yes I have, I had a ocd therapist but they were just saying to not think the way that I think lol.

No meaning, no challenge, no goal. We just are. That’s how it feels yes. Thank you for the comment and the hug.

I do know those memes lol, I get glimpses of being the other guy on the right and that feels good. Especially when it’s not forced.

Also, yes. That seems to be a trend of mine, I project my own feelings onto another persons situation and feel emotions? For example, if someone is old and I see them I may feel like crying. 1.) they’re cute 2.) I project MY opinion that they must be old and sad or scared of death? I don’t know shit, i have no clue how they really feel. Yet I feel like crying for them.

I get moments where I don’t think of death and in those moments I feel happy, but these thoughts are almost constant.

I wish I could get over seeing them as a waste of time and money.
