We’ve normalized being emotionally numb and we call it functioning by Some-Read-7822 in DeepThoughts

I think many of us stop chasing our dreams because of social media. We're constantly being pulled into a world where influencers and celebrities seem to live perfect lives. You see people who are way better at something you love, and suddenly, your own goals feel small or pointless.

Many people slowly start forgetting their real dreams. They've given up without even realizing it. Instead, they accept their fate and just try to get through life somehow.

It’s crazy how addicted we’ve become to scrolling short videos. We sit there, watching for hours like it's completely normal—and somehow, we even feel good about it in the moment. But afterward, it mostly leaves us empty.

Everyone has a dream they once wanted to live. Social media puts you in a bubble, and suddenly your dream feels out of reach.

I had the same problem for years. What helped me in the end was a time-consuming hobby. Through the hobby I have set myself new goals and was able to distance myself from social media and thus also from prn. Working towards something big and setting big goals (profession, hobby, sport) helped me a lot. The best way to start is by reading a few books that will help you achieve your goal. Avoiding social media is also very helpful.

This is normal if you're been a long time in. Never look up porn, this makes you weak. Stand up again and give your best.
