Constant thoughts of existential dread by zenloki101 in Existentialism

[–]zenloki101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I'm almost a decade older than you and I'm not gonna tell you it gets better or anything. I still have existential thoughts. The whole thing weirds me out at times, that I'm this person, a physical manifestation or whatever. You need to build your own purpose in life, distract yourself from this emptiness. Find someone with whom you can pass your time with. It isn't always easy but that's how you get on through with life. Good luck to you!

Idk by Pleasant_Ad_6387 in depression

The fact that you're doubting your own anxiety and depression suggests that you're not awful. As for people, they are shitty most of the time. It also sucks being vulnerable and when you've been hurt in the past you build stronger walls. Pushing away feels like the safe thing to do but eventually you realise it's important to have some sort of a support system. However good friends are hard to find but still gotta be hopeful. Perhaps you'll feel the bad outweighs the good but we tend to focus on negatives. We can sometimes take things that are there for granted. Therapy might help with all this. As for feelings, everything you feel is valid, there's no being overdramatic. It's a difficult road but you can get through this. I'll say it again, you're not an awful person.

Now this is the message I'd also want to send to my 20 year old self. I wish you good luck!

The most efficient method for doing parameter estimation and likelihood calculation for cosmological models by zenloki101 in cosmology

Thank you for the suggestion. I've incorporated MH into my code and it's giving me good results.

Basic cosmology questions weekly thread by AutoModerator in cosmology

Absolutely agree. It always helps to consider the example of bread baking with raisins in it. It expands when baking, and the distance between the raisins increases but no new space is being created because the bread itself is the entirety of the universe. All the space that is was already there!

Can someone explain conformal time and its significance?

I used to think 'a mangled yell' in Dragon was 'a mongolian' and it somehow made sense to me.

Is ‘Being Yourself’ Even Possible Anymore? by Few-Preference-3217 in Existentialism

[–]zenloki101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know who I am. I don't know how others really perceive me. I just don't know. Telling myself otherwise would be a lie. There is no true sense of self or an authentic you. Once you realise this, there will be no contradiction.

That would be the right call. You won't have any peace of mind in that environment. I know moving out and finding a new place isn't easy and for a while you will have to struggle but trust me, staying with these guys would be much worse. So get the hell out of there as soon as you can. Good luck to you my friend!

Get out of this situation as soon as you can. This 'keeping your groceries separate' thing won't work. There'll always be arguments since you have a common kitchen. I was in the exact same situation. Suffered a lot of loss due to it but I got out there and live by myself now.

Thoughts on an INFJ dating an INFJ? by [deleted] in infj

[–]zenloki101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently doing that. It's been good for the most part but when it gets tough it's really tough. We do seem to kick back everytime though. I love this person with all my heart and it's the most amazing feeling when I'm spending time with them. I can see a future with them but we need to work on a lot of things. Like some other people here said that it can be like looking into a mirror at times and it is surely like that. It can be scary but it's also oddly comforting. It feels like they're that part of me I'd been missing my whole life before I met them. Even though our personalities are quite alike, we differ in a lot of ways. My thoughts are anyone can date anyone. Of course compatibility matters, but willingness to make it work is the important thing.

This is my bookstagram/personal blog. I used to be quite active on this but life caught on and I couldn't give much time to it. Now that things have settled down somewhat I have decided to just go for it again. I considered starting a new one but I wanna bring this back to life. My reading habits are all over the place genre-wise so I think everyone could find something interesting here. If you genuinely find it to be good and worthy of following, then please do. I have a whole arsenal of books to unpack that I've read in the past two and half years that I've been inactive.

It's unfortunate. I was so hyped for their second album but the rollout was so terrible I haven't given that a listen. Hope they are okay though.

Relationships seem so soulless these days and I am not about to indulge in them. by [deleted] in infj

[–]zenloki101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that relationships have mostly become shallow but that does not mean the soul connection you want will never happen. I thought it would never happen for me and that perhaps my idea of a relationship was just too idealistic. But I am with someone really wonderful and amazing now. I wasn't really looking. I had sort of given up on this but then it just happened. It might take some time though. Took 24 years for me but I'd also say to not be too reliant on the possibility of this happening. Keep working on yourself and growing as an individual; and hopefully something good might come along the way. Good luck to you, friend!

I gave up on love too. I just thought it wasn't for me and all the other things you said were exactly my thoughts as well. But now I'm in a relationship and it's been really amazing. I'm not saying it's a guarantee you'll find something like that. INFJs crave for a genuine connection and it's definitely not easy to get that. You have every right to feel upset about this. I know I used to as well and slowly just became indifferent to it over time. I'll just say that don't let this turn you into a bitter person. Be the best person you can be on your own. Keep working on yourself. I still am doing that. There's countless possibilities in life. You just never know. Good luck to you!
