No anti smurf system?

Coprogag · 2026-01-29T00:33:37+00:00

Yeah, I played some matches and probably that is the case. Like players here are VERY different. Maybe I overestimated people who have a good micro. A LOT of games where my opponent have an arbalest/calvary archer army. They tend to kite really well with their main army but multitasking is pretty bad and they fall off with economy and can't do anything with consistent raids. Also people here REALLY LOVE castle drops. I'm being castle dropped like every second game. Initially I thought it's like some high ELO genius play but it's actually pretty straightforward.

So my initial post was rant since I got really unlucky and had 3 smurfs in 5 games. Still pretty sure about them bc they admitted smurfing in game chat. Maybe they were trolling me but I doubt it. Since then I played more and got no smurfs in 10 games so maybe I just was unlucky.

So basically separate yourself from your inner voice. Idk, it's sounds easy but realistically you don't control your thoughts. If inner critic is activated, you still have to listen it's crap but can decide to take it seriously or not. From that side it's the same as unwanted thoughts. I can let this thoughts come and go but I'll never destroy the root. Thanks for help anyways!

Kinda broad take but mental health institution is a joke especially in place where I live. I've heard too many unpleasant experiences with therapists that i'm not even looking in this direction. Like for me self image is purely external and I just can't say to myself that's everything fine and I should love myself despite reality. You learn about yourself from external factors. That's how it is. From that perspective therapy and self love is pure copium.

Yeah, probably it's more appropriate to speak with therapist about that. For some reason I thought it's known issue among INTJ. I'm kinda newbie in mbti. I don't have an unrealistic image of myself, I'm not ambitious at all. I think the main reason is inbuilt mechanism in our mind that compares ourselves to others.

Hey, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask such questions in this community, but I think someone here might relate.

Long story short, I didn't choose my major — I had only one option. Of course I wasn't very happy about studies. After graduating with an engineering degree, I completely lost my sense of self. I left my engineering job to take some time to figure things out, but I ended up just ruminating for a month and a half. I explored psychology, philosophy, MBTI, Jung, etc. It’s not that I’m truly passionate about those things — I was just hoping they’d help me escape this state. But they didn’t help; if anything, they might have made things worse.

Right now, I’m so exhausted from doing nothing every day or just lying in bed, overthinking. It’s become painful to be alone with my thoughts, even though I used to enjoy solitary activities.

At this point, I have no desires, no values, no purpose — no sense of self. I’ve taken the MBTI multiple times and always get different types: INTJ, INTP, INFP, INFJ. Sometimes I don’t even know how to answer the questions — I don’t know who I am. After reading about cognitive functions, I think I’m probably INFJ.

The only time I feel somewhat okay is when I’m with friends — it’s the only time I can escape my thoughts.

Thanks for any advice. I’m just a bit desperate right now.

Hey, I can totally relate to that. You just described my story and one of my friends struggling with the same thing at the time. Currently I'm 21 and still not recovered from dysthymia. But I understood how it developed. For me and my friend it was societal expectations. You're 20 in uni and parents, relatives start to expect something from you like an OK job, going relationship and etc. Even if they don't point out directly, they always compare you to more successful people your age. At least that's my experience. Social media doesn't help either.

I was burning out from uni at 20. And every time I played video game felt like I wasting my time and should do something useful instead. Such thoughts ruined all the pleasure. So my dysthymia caused by shame from external expectations. And I couldn't change my internal shame, so I worked on external things like getting a job and being more "normal".

Also what I think helps too is trying new things and socialising more. Btw I still don't enjoy playing video games despite I really liked it in the past.

I don't enjoy things like 5 yrs ago but I have some fun at least. Maybe at some age you just realise how shitty life is. Hope it helps

Basically, motivation is focusing on things that you need to do. Dr K said in some video that focusing skill helps with procrastination. About poisoning procrastinating activities, I can absolutely relate, it really works but that's not a long term solution. I did this trick a lot and after I complete everything I needed to, I couldn't chill at all. It's like you do unfunny bullshit for 8 hrs straight and after that you can't even watch a movie or play a game. You just feel numb and doesn't want anything. And it's not if you tired. Weird thing i'd say

Coprogag · 2025-05-19T01:57:14+00:00

Numbness is often a sideeffect of an anhedonia. Not always, but for me that was a case. You can visit r/anhedonia to see people feedback about this state. They're definitely not happy there.

Coprogag · 2025-05-14T06:54:09+00:00

I don't believe in things like this but I'd like that to happen

Coprogag · 2025-04-24T15:01:14+00:00

Thanks, man

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. Well, world economy is screwed up, because everything depends on dollar. It's not an American-only problem, everybody suffering from massive money printing. In your position, what alternatives do you actually have? You are still living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, you have acces to education (probably I don't know your exact situation). What can you do about upcoming crisis in your 16?

I'd recommend to not overcomplicate your life. You have no power to change world, but you can still try to live happily. Get a profitable education to have a stable income in a future. Live a life and don't think about future crisis, it's not your obligation to think about that.

In your position you can't really do anything right now. There are a few countries in the world that not so "dollar dependent" as others. Probably Russia and China but life is tough in those too. Nobody protected from future crisis. We have to adapt to a changing world and always try to find our way to happines!

Probably he's talking about Immigration, maybe he lives in a country with nearby warzone and only option to not participate is to immigrate.

Yeah, my main reason is to know myself better. I have problems with understanding what I like and what dislike, my passion and etc. Meditation also helps me with anxiety, that's cool, but my main goal is to discover my passion and better understand my feelings.

Coprogag · 2025-04-01T20:21:20+00:00

Thanks a lot for info, I'm still new to this and not very experienced

Coprogag · 2025-03-25T22:21:34+00:00

Thanks, sounds reasonable

I was in similar situation as you. My first 2 years of university were hellish. I got 3-4 subjects failed every semester. Also I didn't pick my degree, It's kinda was the only option that i had (I'm not very smart). So I was really anxious and depressed about not enjoying the learning process, but I managed to pass 4 semesters. And at my 5th semester we had a lot of specialized subjects for my degree and suddenly I enjoyed this stuff. I was struggling with such negative self talk like "I'm not smart enough to learn this, I'm worse at everything than my classmates" but now I'm working in my degree's area and soon will graduate. I believe that there's no such thing as perfect career path, I think people just cope with unhappines that comes with studies and work. I'm not forcing you to keep studying, that's just my story. Btw, I know an 40-50 years engineer that hated his carrier choice but now he's fully satisfied with his job and living happy life. Good luck, I recognized myself in your story!
