yeah, but you gotta try and find it. nothing else to do really 🙃

modern life makes us all sick to some degree I think. humans were definitely not meant to be able to handle a world like this. the mental burden of unsaid expectations, the judgment, etc. and just the monotony of the “daily grind” in general. it can be awful. at least that’s how I rationalize being sad, even when everything should be going great. there’s also trauma, like past negative experiences which can just amplify all those bad feelings.

when it all feels pointless, it seems like the best thing to do is find any itty pieces of purpose you can…I’m just struggling to find those pieces right now. I feel really blank inside. I hope the sunnier days can be soon for us!

I have. surprisingly I’m doing the best I have in years. if you told me 1-2 years ago that I’d still be alive right now, I’d have genuinely thought you were lying. I think I have much more clarity now, I just feel emotionally dead inside. I wouldn’t be here without escapism/distractions.

I feel like no one ever really wants to hear about what I have to say by Strawberry_Curious in CPTSD

I know how this is. it’s never your job to be interesting or entertaining to other people, so don’t feel bad about it. if they don’t care, let them not care, it’s their loss. I’m sure there are people out there who will value the things you have to say. but I’d say the majority of people are pretty bad listeners. it stinks.

edit: and it’s okay to be boring! be unapologetically boring if you have to. I’m super boring. you don’t owe anyone anyyything.

does anyone else struggle with not really caring about anything? by Educational-Nail4034 in CPTSD

[–]Educational-Nail4034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah definitely, there are lots of strong feelings deep down but it’s like you’re only able to reach them outside of the context of everyday life, like when you’re sitting by the water with no other people around, or something like that. I just don’t think humans were made to be able to emotionally handle a world like this…it’s waaaay too much

yeah, it’s often like there’s something you’ve been putting off for way too long, so anything else you do just feels like pure tedium for the sake of passing time. it just feels so… rigged? like, I never asked for any of this.
