I don’t really feel empty…just numb. I can laugh and cry and get angry, but it feels more like a reflex at this point. Im so mentally and emotionally drained I don’t really enjoy my hobbies anymore. I usually just surf the internet mindlessly.

I relate with everything except the “feeling bored” part. In fact, I have too many aspirations and _wish_ I could feel bored sometimes. But I’m always afraid of falling behind :/

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

I, too, have a lot of aspirations and I want to try to fulfill them before my time is up. But sometimes I guess you just have to not be afraid to try, and if you fail, it's not the end of the world because you're still here to try again. I'm sure whatever your aspirations are, you'll fulfill them.

thats that Nietzsche drive. I dont experience that, I fully understand the boredom and it is accompanied by the feeling of falling behind due to not progressing, but soemtimes it feels like there is no way to progress and the feeling is a stuck stagnant feeling that can feel akin to boredom, but its punctuated by panic and fear that the wrong choices are furthering the undesirable outcomes.

[@Shalashaska13]

Its scary when I can relate to this cause I've felt this from childhood growing up and it fucks with your head when you've grown so accustomed to the emptiness that your mind and thoughts constantly goes down the dark path to the point of wanting to "self delete" (the S word is a trigger for me ) cause nothing you try ever seems to fix or fill the heavy endless void in your soul.

[@foxyloon]

Yep, I've faced every one of these issues. Would hang out with friends yet feel like I didn't belong. I'd just participate with the conversation and pretend to know what they're talking about when I honestly don't more often than not. I'd also be clingy with a certain friend, looking to them to help me define who I should be. There would be friction when they'd become annoyed and impatient with me after a prolonged bout of this. "That's up to you to figure out, stop asking me about it!" I've also found that I'm bored quite often, even when doing hobbies or things I once enjoyed. Constantly seeking out media or other things to distract myself from myself, so to speak. Also felt disconnected from my emotions for the most part, which took a lot of work to finally feel something again. Even then, I'm mostly numb unless it's a very strong emotion I feel in the moment, and it's quite fleeting more often than not. (Brief pangs of happiness, followed by nothing for days on end as an example.) Even felt isolated many times in my life, despite being surrounded by people who love me and look up to me. I still feel a profound loneliness at times, and have to constantly remind myself that I'm not alone. It's a difficult feeling to shake off. Especially feel like I lost touch with who I am! Like I'm a wandering soul trying to find my place in this world, and nothing seems to feel "right" to me no matter what I try. I also struggle with disassociation of my own body, lacking a certain awareness of where my body is in relation to the world, so I'm constantly running into things and knocking stuff over inadvertently. I try to meditate and become more aware of my body, yet I still struggle doing so. Then there's the lack of satisfaction with my life, despite accomplishing many things I've wanted. Left with that sense of "what now?" It's profound how this single video described the past 20 or so years of my life...

[@warcolector]

You're pretty good at describing the way I feel about life. I wish I could come up with anything constructive or helpful to say. But I can't as I don't even know how to get out of this myself. I guess I've just come to accept that most people will find their place in this world and there are the few who don't fit in. And I'm one of those who don't fit in.

I realized that I always rely on someone to make me happy. I was always known as the "cheerful" one at school. By making everyone happy and seeing the smile on their faces makes me happy, but now that school's over and all of my friends are moving on with their lifes, i somehow feel empty as I have no one to talk to. I find myself desperate to seek someone to feel in that emptiness. During this period, I feel like I'm slowly changing, from being talkative to no talking at all, laughing to feeling no emotions and leaving texts on read or ignoring them. Idk why im doing this but for once I just want someone to be there for me like how I did for them, to listen to my problem as how I gave them my ears to their problems..

I relate to every single point that you have made but the HUGE one that I related to was the perpetual boredom. I can almost cry at how bored I feel every single day… everything I loved to do isn’t enough to get me on my feet anymore. Everyday is just a routine, wake up, clean the house, walk the dog, make dinner, clean up again, and go to bed. I own a business at home and I don’t start working until 8pm and go to bed at 5am sometimes just because I have no motivation to start early.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

I re-evaluate my situation... Do I really get what I wanted... OR do I settle for this crap I've got because I've got it and other people seem to think it's "great"... What DO you really want? What's really worth working for to YOU??? Damn anybody else's answer... It doesn't matter what they want or like or feel about it. They're NOT you. Often, I figure out I've got a bunch of crap I never really appreciated... SO step 1 is moving it on. Usually, that's selling it off. No good comes of wasting it, like tossing it in the trash or burning it outside... AND it doesn't really matter what it's worth to ME, but what I can get for it... That takes research and focus... It's not easy getting "top dollar" for things... BUT it can be done... AND if you don't, since you didn't want the "crap" anyway... what difference does it make? Get a price that you'd rather have the money than the crap... and move it along. Figuring out what you want is the hard part. I can find a way to get just about anything, but figuring out whatever it is I want to chase down next is the tough bit... It can be fun exploring...Hunting down and buying things cheap to play with them a while, figure out if each one is truly what I want or just more crap... and then fixing or shining it up and re-selling... Sometimes all I can do is "cut losses" on the thing... AND sometimes I make money. I still find out that I didn't much care for one thing or I pick through and find more of the things I really AM after... I really DO like or want... Hobbies can pay for themselves, too... AND they're still fun so long as you never let them quite become "full time jobs" chasing deadlines and trying to balance responsibilities between "actual work" and family and yourself... and then the hobby that pays... It's just too much... ...until you land on a passion. That's the thing that starts keeping you up at night... excites you about getting up in the morning (or wishing morning would hurry its ass up so you can get back at "it")... It's somehow worth MAKING the time for. If it can be worked into a business model to pay the bills, or even better free you from a "9-to-5 Grinder" to chase adventure and begin to live... even if it's occasionally terrifying. Nothing wrong with playing at gardening until you figure out the crop you actually enjoy tending and nurturing, cultivating and taking to market or mill... It's all part of finding our way... and unfortunately I can't answer those kinds of questions for anyone but me. I've had a hell of a time figuring ME out... and I'm not remotely "done" with that project even at 45... haha... BUT I've still got sh*t to do tomorrow... hope the rest of this little project works out, so I can get back to rebuilding a welder... left over from winter catching me flat-footed... THEN maybe... I might even make some progress learning how to weld... provided I can get this silly yellow "crackle-box" to work! ...and nope... I've read up some on electronics... BUT I'm no engineer. Half the time I'm lucky to get the g** d*** wire-nuts to stay put when I install an over-head light fixture. It may well be a thousand wonders I haven't electrocuted myself or burnt the house to the ground... BUT I'm not going to let those 'trons kick my butt either...

I try to pretend to be happy by distracting myself with different subcultures and fandoms and stuff, but I feel empty after I'm done. Maybe it's due to the hopelessness of life and the future that permanently affected me in some sorta way. :'(

[@Layleyphillips]

Me. I used to feel like at least I could always go back home with my non and dad. But since lives move on people divorce and move etc, there is no home anymore. I didn't do enough while I had that freedom of responsibilities I didn't make enough friends. It sucks and its hard to not feel regret and want a time machine.

[@YourFaulty]

Ive been cynical since I was like 8 and I think i missed out on a lot bc of that. I was never able to be care free. Especially after ending up in an honors class in 4th grade that left me with no free time because of the amount of work that teacher would give. Students would be up till 4 am bc shes “preparing us for high school” and i never developed many hobbies or gotten to enjoy myself much

[@crinklecutchipscringe9167]

The last few months have been some of the hardest I've been through. I've really struggled with knowing who I want to be. The kind of person I want to become. I used to have great aspirations. A dream I used to chase relentlessly. But recently, I just don't see the point in those dreams, I want now, more than ever, to leave something behind when I die some day. To accomplish something beyond myself. Maybe not quite to inspire those that come after me, but rather to accomplish something more long lasting.

I don’t have anything necessarily awful going on in my own life. But I’ve been thinking a ton the past week about my purpose and what I’m called to do in my heart. With all the conflict in the world and all the violence, I just have felt sad. I know that the world will always be messed up in some ways. I can’t change that. But I just started crying because of it all. And yesterday I was just tired and didn’t feel anything. Then this video was posted today.

For me, ever since at the start of March, I feel like this deep emptiness that I couldn't understand. Whether or not that you're satisfied with your life or you feel like life goes by fast. For me I just feel miserable especially with my job that dealing with this kind of loneliness and other people's BS on a daily basis.

[@userm180]

hey, if its not too personal, whats your job? and cant you maybe find another place to work at? ik its easier said than done but i feel like taking care of our mental health is more important than our jobs. but ofc, that depends on the job too

[@Absolhunter251]

Your video came in just in time. Was thinking about this. I relate to everything but the bored part, I can find new things to look forward too. Thank you for this

[@SilenceIsGolden64]

I absolutely have nothing to look forward to but another day of the same. I stopped dreaming that I'll have my own place some day. Last winter, no heat in my car, I found myself waking up and it looked like I was sitting on my own patio. But once I cleared my eyes, I realize it was just an illusion. I used to be optimistic but no more. Hoping wishing and praying for me hasn't worked in 4 years off and on. Now I have nothing left inside, and my mind goes blank. And this all centers around not being able to get an apt, because the illegals are living off my fukn tax dollars. Maybe if I disappear.. I'm of no use. Tired of struggling and crying, especially when I feel like my prayers are returning to my own bosom. Even the strongest of us need a crutch some times. I f don't have one.

[@Lunarcreeper]

i fit in basically all of these. but one strange thing is ive always been kind of immune to manipulation. including manipulation from myself. i usually always tell right and wrong. so i'm mostly sure i'm empty. but.. i don't really care. i have 1 friend that i relate to on a perfect level. 1 is enough. but they aren't always online. so i try to get more friends finally, but it feels empty. it's weird. pets, youtube (kinda), and that one friend. is all that makes me not empty. but once they aren't there. i'm just empty. even when playing games i never feel any reaction sometimes. just... nothingness? usually that is. and i do sometimes have thoughts about my purpose. feeling like i'll just be nothing without anyone. but i really do connect with nature and atmospheric music. so maybe that's my purpose. it would be, is adhd never gave me the middle finger. ugh i'll never succeed school.

Man, this hits really hard. I spent the last 6 years working security. The long 12 hour shifts, the loneliness, and seeing people do nasty things for a long time has made me numb and hopelessly lost.

[@alisonb5921]

I was happy, loving life, for nearly 2 years. I had got over my former neighbour friend, going no contact, trying to destroy me, wrecking my carport & other horrible things & then moving in with a woman, down the road. Then 3 weeks later, early this year, he moved back to his house. I'm now walking on eggshells again, trying not to upset him or make him go off, again. He has a kid to her, too ! But I hardly see him or the little kid, who mostly lives with his mother .They're very quiet. But I still can't forget how he tried to destroy me nearly 2 years ago. I have got my depression back, I feel numb, empty inside & I don't feel like coming out of my house. Friends ask me out, but I say "I'm sick", so I won't need to leave my house. I get through work, because I work alone. It's part-time work. Then I come home & avoid coming out, again. Or I'll drive around after work, if I know next door will be home. He hardly works !. I do this to avoid him. Even though he's quiet now & keeps to himself, I'm still wary of him. I don't sleep well at night. Any noise will wake me, when I do sleep. If my dog barks during the night, I get up & check my doors & look outside, in case my neighbour is sneaking around,( like he used to do years ago ). I'm on edge. 😮

5 for 7 on this one. All but the last 2. I know the things I want but getting it feels impossible. And right now for me it is impossible but later on when I have the chance to get what I want what I'm afraid of is 1. Not getting it. or 2. Getting it but still feeling unsatisfied.

[@LyricRhapsody]

I relate to a lot of this. Yet it always feels like a bandaid fix when I try to work on these issues. At this point, it sometimes feels like I have no idea who I even am as a person other than what I laugh at online or what video games I play. Every waking thought otherwise revolves around “why aren’t you being productive like everyone irl tells you to be constantly? You could be more, but you waste away.” It’s nothing but guilt and I never feel like I deserve relaxation, but am too much of a nervous and depressed wreck to actually get things done.

[@aladinfox4098]

It is a comfort to know others feel the same . There is a lot of pressure nowadays to project the image of contentment and completeness which can have the effect of doing the exact opposite. Sometimes just letting go of that thought that you are being watched constantly and judged can be enough to set the reset button ......sometimes!

[@_ici_]

It’s so sad that you feel every single one but the first bc you have never felt like someone would be with you it’s a scary thought. But I have found what gives every single one meaning. You need to find a person you feel like you can talk about everything with. And just talk, talk about everything that goes on in your mind and don’t think you are nothing bc that’s the feeling that always is the biggest feel. I want you to think that you are enough by being yourself. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Just find one that you can talk to and then start talking to an other and then on and on. Until you feel like you are who you are it might take years. But just you know I like you for you and you should never put yourself away.
