How do you feel about life? (1 Viewer)

[Day]

I'm not sure if it's because of recent events, but the more life I experience the more I hate being here and I don't see any point to working hard because at the end of it all I will never own a house, never accomplish anything in the "American dream", never get that job or that degree, never have any family, and I will never be able to outplay this capitalist society.

How do you cope with these feelings?

I cope with those feelings by using a ton of optimism and never giving up, and I just keep working towards my goals no matter how impossible they seem.

You're a very strong person. I wish you luck in accomplishing all that you aspire to

 

[Tickita]

I'm usually optimistic about life, maybe a little numb too.

Thank you so much! I shall try to.

I wish I had this approach that I am here to enjoy it and this life is mine.
Sadly im a perfectionist. Currently in medical school where education usually takes up to 10 years with a lot of effort and it will still be a draining job after graduation. I care too much about my image, money and success, a conventional sucessful relationship, all the basic boring conventional sh*t that ever exists. If I am told I will die tomorrow I am not satisfied with my life, never happy, never feel perfect.

I'll be honest this is also the only way I can get myself to do anything

Never say never.
It is harder to get what we want, but we can get it.

Life is a bit, ora lot, unfair for some people. Especially based on your upbringing, sometimes ethnicity and status.

Society sucks, but you can do what you need to. It is tiring, but you can do it. You can persevere.

I think like this or I go to very dark places.

You get what you can, but don't sell yourself short.

Ahah. Sorry if it's too much.

Seconding all of this so much!

I don't get how some people think. At my 58, I still look forward to live and succeed. I just refuse to have a loser mindset.

Life is unfair
it is a struggle
the minority will always be ignored.

I will never own a house, never accomplish anything in the "American dream", never get that job or that degree, never have any family, and I will never be able to outplay this capitalist society.

Never say never, my friend. Life is a balance between struggle and reward. Don't let the struggles deter you. Dream big! Life is full of opportunity. Do not hesitate to snag it when it comes your way.

we are but a drop of water in ocean my friend, however each droplet causes ripples which affects others droplets around us

I am simultaneously the brightest and the most cynical person in the room

This is life is blind for the most part
Society makes even the most vengeful people live
Sadly we can't always cure our world

 

[athenaaa]

These days I feel like there’s no reason to live. I don’t want to rush dying but if something sped up the process I wouldn’t be opposed

 

[jasque]

I'm always thinking about existential matters

But maybe I just have too much free time...

I accept to keep living but it's rare to find something to be hyped about imo.

Being optimistic helps as @DarthYouChanious said and it's not that difficult to put our minds in that direction.

life is confusing honestly
