The coldest and harshest realization in life is that gaming never filled the void in my life and could never help or improve my depression.

>>941969122 (OP)
Yeah who said gaming fixes depression? Are you retarded? Go outside and exercise
Maybe go to a doctor is it's really bad

>>941969122 (OP)
Chronic depression cannot be cured my man. It becomes ingrained into your brain and into your personality. You do not cure depression, you just learn how to cope with it.

>>941969125
>>941969124
me when the Dr. K videos and chatgpt advice doesnt work, leading me to believe that all therapy is a scam

>>941969122 (OP)
Why did you think playing with childrens toys would cure your depression?

You sound like a retard.

I kinda hate the new found popularity Moral Orel got even though I was among the few who caught it during its original run.


As for OP, go do something with your life, find happiness, then play vidya, it will help.

>>941969122 (OP)
Moral orel was a good show

Have you considered transitioning youre gender?

Hookers and blow will fix you right up!

>>941969122 (OP)
Want a better one? Nothing was ever going to. 40% of men straight up dont have kids. Nearly half written right out of the fucking gene pool. Among those that do, it's brutal. Pair bondings do exist, but it would seem that institutionalized incentives play a huge factor because the actual human tendency is for a human female to become a raging bitch towards the father in an effort to run him the fuck off (as is the case in felines) so she can run back into the supportive arms of her family or the state as would be the case in the current dystopia year we live in. So what exists between your ultimate goal of passing on your genes? Survival. We were built to tolerate suffering as best as we could. We arguably do it better than every other living creature even though we sometimes think we don't. One long cope until the black bitter end. So you better enjoy those video games faggot. They are probably one of the best copes you are going to find. Sure a "loving connection with a supportive family" would be nice, wouldnt it? But if we had that, or had any chance of having that, then we wouldn't be here, would we. That's reserved for a very small lucky percentile. Not even the infinitely rich are guranteed that.

>>941969132
ok incel

>>941969133
Devastating response. How would you feel if he killed himself after this? You should feel ashamed.

>>941969133
Fuck off, zoomer. He's right. You soon will realize that yourself.

>>941969134
>How would you feel if he killed himself after this?
Based.

>>941969133
Worse, I'm once divorced, and on my second marriage (probably be divorced #2 one day). I can only wish that I stayed incel from the start. Part of me knows I would long for greener grass, but if I could go back in time, I'd probably start by AT least never getting marriage, and never allowing a femoid to prove i was the father.

>>941969137
>never getting marriage
Fuck. I'm not an ESL, I swear. Just a filthy phoneposter literally shitposting from the shitter.

Christ will give you the strength to go on and live a good life full of purpose in His name. Seek Him out and you will be saved.

help is everywhere, you're just not looking hard enough

>>941969141
is he meant to teach you how to be a better pedophile?

>>941969140
church is boring

Why does marriage even exist when most people get sick of their spouses in 2 years to the point of commiting actual violent tendencies towards the other?

>>941969140
Belief in the supernatural is the height of copium.

>>941969141
Who the fuck is this disgusting freak and why is he being shilled so hard these days?

>>941969144
>Most people who are married attack each other physically
You'll need some evidence to support that claim, kid.

>>941969145
you have a better solution or are you just going to continue staying miserable just so you can cry about it without ever getting anything done?

>>941969140
>just trust that you aren't gonna be duped at the end by this all being a big sham. The proof? Uhh, it's called faith idiot.
Look, I often go to bat for Christianity, and I often hate the anti Christian sentiment, but this is the number one fundamental problem. I appreciate the general lessons and philosophy that it leaves people with, but the promise it makes to you is offered with zero tangible proof. I say that as someone who thinks that some people literally need Jesus.

>>941969149
>but the promise it makes to you is offered with zero tangible proof
Which one?

>>941969140
Religion is the biggest hoax and delusion in existence. If I'm going to lie to myself to feel better temporarily I rather choose video games.

>>941969148
If convincing yourself that magic is real somehow helps you deal with the existential dread and mental issues you suffer from, more power to you, but pretending that you have some sort of revealed wisdom rather than having gasslit yourself into delusions about supernatural, is disengenious at best.

>>941969152
So you don't have a better solution?

>>941969149
Have you ever actually sat down to pour your heart out to God and just try to cultivate a relationship with Him by talking as required to be actually giving the "proof" that it's real via direct Revelation from God or are you still going about it the "muh logic" route?

Because if you're still trying to seek physical, logical explanation to something that is whole supernatural and out of the bounds of the physical world, you're not getting any.

God directly to the source and ask God with genuine interest to lift the veil off your eyes and show you the truth for what it is and then you will understand immediately to the point you won't even consider ever again asking for "proof". You will simply just know it to be the truth when you literally hear or feel God interacting directly with you when you have genuinely sought Him out and opened yourself to Him.

>>941969151
you're already lying to yourself
now come to mosque and pray with your brothers, we'll have cakes and tea afterwards

>>941969122 (OP)
Existential crisis comes and goes every so often.
Just watch some older movies you might have missed or something and get over it.

>>941969148
I wouldn't call "belief" a solution. A solution to what exactly? The depression? Come on now. I'll level with you that adherence to religious tradition, ritual, and community might help to alleviate some symptoms of depression, but you might as well be telling someone to get friends and go to the gym. (Not bad advice, but not helpful to a neet already glued to a gaming chair). As for "believing" as a solution, that's pretty much secondary and not even necessary with the community.

>>941969153
Obviously he seems to think lashing out like a manic is some kind of situation by the looks of it, yet he doesn't realize he'll just keep on being more and more bitter and this will solve nothing at all in the end. He maybe gets temporary relief but his anger will forever say with him to the point it evolved into unhinged range.

>>941969157
> you might as well be telling someone to get friends and go to the gym
>but not helpful to a neet already glued to a gaming chair
Why not? Sounds like exactly what someone in that situation needs to hear.

seriously, the amount of times he brought up naked little boys completely unwarranted on Cum Town really makes me think hes a pedophile

>>941969154
It usually results in silence and me feeling like I just wasted my time talking to something that was probably a demon anyway.

>>941969155
>mosque
I'd rather behead myself with a plastic knife than going anywhere near that subhuman death cult

>>941969161
If you hear thoughts in your head, that's a demon according to the bible.
Christians value what they call the "silent prayer", where no words are spoken but truths still surface to the forefront of your mind.

>>941969140
Only a christian would attempt to co opt someones suffering and turn it into a sales pitch for his domsday cult.

>>941969162
Well those are your only two options. Choose carefully

>>941969157
You need to find a purpose to your life. Something you can end up doing maybe longer term and see yourself going strong with for possibly the rest of your life. Doesn't always have to be to this best extent, but something to actually keep you occupied and give you some kind of goal will help.

Depression gets worse the less you do and the more that you don't do anything and feel worthless and whatnot, the more it feeds it. Actually having a long term plan or hobby or job you can engage with as often as possible that you have interest in helps alleviate those issues.

>>941969153
My solution is stoicism and embracing the reality that we live in an absurd and pointless universe, where we have to find our own meaning in our lives.
I find prostlecysing christfaggots like you extremely obnoxious especially when you come into dicussions like this, because I just do not think that you are genuine at all in your belief in god, I think you use it as a crutch at best to cope with life, or worse, the identity of "christian" is some sor to of culture war brainrot team for you. The idea that you can cure depression just by "accepting christ into your heart" or whatever the fuck you cunts claim is laughable and only tells me that you are either retarded, disengenious or have never actually been depressed yourselves.

>>941969122 (OP)
This nigga has a void.

>>941969167
>embracing the reality
Science can't prove reality even exists, so good luck with that one.

>>941969164
You are suffering BECAUSE you are forsaking God and choosing to willingly live in rebellion against Him. You're not doing yourself any favors with spouts mockery like this either since all you do is further making your life even more worse and miserable than it already is by feeding those demons that have a hold over you and giving them consent to basically push and tempt you to do even worse things that will wreck you more than you already are.

>>941969169
Ah, the typical christfaggot tactic of disengeniously missing the point reveals itself.

>>941969163
>according to the bible.
God can literally talk to you in any manner he wishes, whether be it telepathically, or through someone else. If you're really going to point to the Bible, refer to the part where God is mentioned to be directly talking to people in a "still, small voice"

>My solution is stoicism and embracing the reality that we live in an absurd
thats not stoicism tho
stoicism were all about that determinism baby
But you are likely underage and have not yet read the material so i'll allow it

>>941969150
Eternal life.

>>941969154
Also this. Can you even conceive that you are basically speaking a foreign language to people when you say this? Have I ever conducted prayer in my mind where I, using my internal monologue, said "dear God, blah blah blah"? Yes, as a child being dragged along to church, I probably did this many times. Do I believe that God ever answered back in any way, or ever spoke through me, or worked through me, or influenced things, events, or people around me? No, I can't really be convinced of that. Have I had intrusive thoughts that made me at times wonder? Yes, probably. Do I still think they were the voices of god or the devil? No. You might believe it, im not convinced. I would love to be. I really would. Now I'm a little more objective and willing to understand what you and your opposition are saying. Most people are too belligerent for that. That way of talking is not going to win people over. At best, if they ever have some whacky coincidence in their life, they will be like "whoa, its like that thing that guy said!" I am still open to the possibility. I'm not so resolutely closed off. I'm just saying, I have never seen anything that would convince me the Christian religion is anything more an an amalgamation of religions designed for moral guidance, and political control. Not to even say that's a bad thing. Simply that it is.

>>941969172
You have to be a prophet

>>941969122 (OP)
you are such a fucking retard, what the fuck how do you even breath

>>941969171
I'm not a Christian, I was dragged through an extremely religious upbringing, so I know the source material better than you do.

The fact of the matter is, science can't prove ANYTHING exists. It eventually becomes a matter of faith (which is why there is a Patron Saint of the Sciences).

If you think I'm mistaken, please, try and prove something exists.

Did God talk to saints?

>>941969174
>Eternal life.
Where do they promise that?

>>941969166

>>941969159
No, it's what he needs to do. People have this obnoxious tendency to resist what they are told to do. Sometimes even when it's given as friendly advice. He doesn't need to hear it. He probably already knows he needs it. He has to need it so badly that he wants it. That is the key.

>>941969181
So why isn't it helpful?

>>941969175
There's no such requirement for it.
God can talk to anyone He wants, whenever He wants, however He wants, for whatever reason He wants; and it doesn't have to come done to them needing to deliver some kind of prophetic message on His behalf.

It can be just as simple as Him coming in to reinforce their belief during a specifically hard time they go through and that's it. Just something that's personal to say person because God is a Father who desires to have a relationship and connection with His children.

>>941969140
I've never stopped being a devout Christian and I still get depressed.

If they're willing to develop an actual thing of faith then it could help but if its solely to make themselves feel better it doesn't work

>>941969183
>There's no such requirement for it.
You have never read the bible and it's obvious.

>guy who doesn't know what he's talking about tells someone he doesn't know what he's talking about
You never read the Bible, btw.

>>941969186
That doesn't mean it's not helpful. It just means he's refusing to accept the help right now.

It doesn't mean it's not good advice.

I do 3D animations, modelling, video editing. I did not once focus on or got discourage by AI in any way whatsoever. It's already inbreeding with itself to the point of total retardation and collapse, and further destroyed by them willfully castrating it. Stop falling for demoralization campaigns. It will not do anything whatsoever.

>>941969182
Telling someone something they already know does absolutely nothing for them and as I and >>941969186 said, can be outright detrimental, depending on how it is presented and recieved. Anecdotes about how someone invited a buddy out to a gym and he totally went need not apply. That buddy went because he wanted it. He was ready. Though there is an unfortunate irony about the redundancy involved with the depressed NEETman asking for advice online. He is probably nor ready, or willing, or able to actually do anything with the advice he is given.

when i was younger i used to daydream about future bethesda titles and how immersive and amazing they were going to be. Wouldve never guessed it would turn out this way hehe

It does. It's helped me before.

You're just retarded

>>941969140
I imagine becoming a Christian would only increase one's paranoia and depression, what with the annual world-ending rapture scares.

>>941969191
He's a God of Love and Goodness who desires having a relationship with His children above all else, and we know that's true since He said so Himself, and He cannot ever life, and if He only ever audibly talked to "special" people, then the former wouldn't hold true, but we know it is true.
He talks to anyone who is willing to seek Him out in ways He knows would be best suited for them to properly and fully grasp the message He wants them to receive. He's already said all that before.

No one knows when that time will come but The Father Himself, not even Jesus does.
Anyone who gives into that paranoia likely isn't even truly Christian to begin with, as in, they don't have faith, they just follow the religion as if it's a school club.

Larper Protestants have been the worst trend on this site since desu.

>>941969205
>It doesn't
>anecdotes
Why are you allowed to use anecdotes to support your argument, but I'm not?
Be specific.

>>941969201
One only needs to turn on mainstream news for a constant barrage of world ending nuclear apocalypse scares. Christianity can't even compete with that.

>>941969192
You say that but its only getting better and better. Someone trained a model on my art 2 years ago so theres no point

>>941969201
Why would that scare them? The believe they are safe from that.

>>941969212
>Someone trained a model on my art
Who cares?
Do you like drawing? Keep drawing. It's that simple.

>>941969204
I never had anyone to tell me that retarded garbage thankfully so your ebin comeback does nothing. You're incapable of comprehending your gay ass method of telling people shit they already know has to work on everyone but doesn't on most, specially if they're hooked on additional shit like drugs or alcohol, they already know they're fucked up but don't have the will or drive to leave it like a bitch with a boyfriend who beats her

>>941969201
The rapture isn't even in the bible.

>>941969208
>No one knows when that time will come but The Father Himself, not even Jesus does.
The fact that you disputed the "time" rather than the rapture itself, which is Divine Comedy tier fanspiction, shows how much of a Christian you really are.
>Anyone who gives into that paranoia likely isn't even truly Christian to begin with,
You're the one coming in here with promises of it curing depression and saving the lives of NEETs on a board for video games. You are outright asking for them to develop various complexes around the church and to inevitably anticipate the world ending so they can get their 'reward'.
>>941969213
Because modern Christianity also trains people to believe they are never good enough, and if they aren't good enough then they are sent to the pit of eternal suffering forever and ever.
>b-but my
I was raised far more Catholic than all of you, considering most of you are very obviously Indian or South American considering when this is all being posted.
I went to multiple Catholic schools and went to church every Sunday, and I have seen people break down into tears over the ideas of the Christian afterlife. Not from the existentialism of death, but the idea that any sin removes them from le grace of God.
>b-b-b-but-!
This is done by design to indoctrinate and retain "believers", no different from when the Church said you could pay your way into heaven.

>>941969216
I'm not arguing with you. You have no point to make.
What are you upset about exactly?

>>941969217
neither is Hell, which you'd think is quite an oversight

>>941969207
Leviticus 26:11-12
Ezekiel 37:27-28
John 15:15-17

Shed your callous nature and pride and look at the truth of it, instead of seeking out ways to fellate your ego by just going "erhm, source? source??"
You don't even care to understand what anything you read actually means since as you said, you were "forced" to read it, so obviously you did it with malice and ill intent so as to be able to just twist and use anything you memorize against whoever is trying to tell you the truth of it.

Want to supply an example?
Or are you making up "facts" again?
Remember, the core Christian value is
>Judge not, lest ye be judged

>>941969164
Judeo-Christian values dictate you should do exactly that

>>941969221
Want to tell me how these quotes support your previous statement?

>>941969218
I don't care about the rapture nor think about it since it's never mentioned in any way whatsoever in the Bible as they try to explain it. They just took a translation of a phrase meant to be "caught up" or "lifting" into the air when it tells about the souls of the righteous being raised up to Heaven then just made all forms of theory around something that wasn't even a specific big thing as they portray it.

>>941969210
>be specific
>use personal anecdotes like me
No you silly goober. I'm speaking in generalizations specifically to avoid that. What's my anecdote? The general reference to neets that live like bums at their parents who seem to repel all advice? And what's your argument against it?
>well that ain't me!
COOL! But you know you are online (where they already tend to spend their free time) in a non-mainstream website where they are known to congregate? Why wouldn't you consider that you would be dealing with them? You dork.

>>941969222
Lol
Lmao even.
You were never gonna make it with that attitude.

>>941969222
>The process of drawing is not fun
Yes it is.
If you don't the process, you were never an artist.

>>941969223
>Want to supply an example?
The existence of a Christian Hell is literally that.
Weekly confessionals, which we did for YEARS in Catholic School are what I had to live through, people being forced to dig up every last thing they felt they did wrong and being made to say it to some old man in a robe. It was hilarious, it wasn't the movie style anonymous confessional, they needed five priests to sit around and listen to what children deemed as 'sinful'.
>>Judge not, lest ye be judged
Deeply ironic thing to say considering your tone in this thread.

>Doesn't count!
This is the culture of the church. This is what it has promoted and allowed to happen, this is desirable for it. You can't just go "It doesn't count" to MASSIVE institutions that bring in a large majority of the Church's faithful.

>>941969238
>>941969240
>Many people use the terms “Catholic” and “Christian” interchangeably, but in reality, they are not synonymous. While both religions center around Jesus Christ and His teachings, there are significant differences between them.

>The most obvious difference is that Catholicism emphasizes the authority of the Pope as the leader of the Church and upholds sacraments such as confession, penance, and communion as essential to salvation. Protestant Christianity, on the other hand, places more emphasis on personal faith in Christ alone for salvation.

They are literally different faiths.

>>941969239
>the only meaning to life is being well behaved enough to live eternally

>>941969242
I don't think the bible ever says that's the "only meaning in life". It's just something you can chose to do.

>>941969241
>Doesn't count!
This is why people don't like Christians- it's a faith of constantly dodging responsibility.
Oh, it was all in the past, or, that was a different sect and doesn't count, oh, that was just one priest this month.

>>941969241
You don't get to claim Christianity you fucking retard. All you prods are just seething little faggots mad at the pope. That doesn't make you uniquely Christian

>>941969225
God is your Father and friend that seeks to dwell among you and have a relationship with you, yet you deny Him it.

This is the simplest it is. If you still can't understand that basic concept, then you completely lack faith, and whatever you claim to know of the Bible is literally worthless. Your legalism approach does absolutely nothing of value but make you the same as the Pharisees, for you claim to have the knowledge, yet you deny the truth of it.

>>941969235
Actual retard...

>>941969244
Christians literally don't do confessional.
Catholics do, which we were not talking about.

Why does this upset you so much?

That's a problem of your own making, man. I didn't get into video games to fill a void. I got into it to have fun.

I got therapy to work on my depression.

KEK! I DO BE LIKE THAT!

>>941969239
Yes, nothing has meaning, all of those "values", "morals" and "ethics" are made up. Better be in balance with the truth and still live by common decency than lying to yourself 24/7 and snap once you realize your worldview was made up by some schizo over 2000 years ago.

Being depressed means you have idle hands. Pick up a hobby or do something. "Mental health" in the rapist terms means getting medicated or being told to troon out.

>>941969283
based on what moral compass?
you have none. you said it's all made up based on the culture or whatever the fuck you were born in.
every single pagan before christianization, even romans, treated children like fucking animals and would sometimes even bury infant daughters alive just to get rid of them and that was considered "normal" by everyone before the Christians put a stop to it and gave children actual human rights for the first time ever in history.

being "religious" is not the same thing as being Christian. you can wear the label of one but don't behave at all like it, so you're not actually Christian. yet you continue to use that against them every single time and if someone points you out to the fact they aren't actually Christians, you just ignore it.

By the way, two months out from the end of the year and /cgl/ only has 32,872 posts if anyone cared. Even the two weeks the site was down can't account for a dropoff of what will be 10,000+ (and there won't be that many more posts as all the big conventions have wrapped up aside from the upcoming otakon).
As for /a/, 2025 only has 8,740,766 so far. Again, two weeks of downtime doesn't account of several million missing posts. That would also make it /a/'s lowest traffic year that we know of.

>>941969316
He literally cites sources you handicapped faggot.
But seeing as you're too low IQ to read, I'll take this as you conceding and admitting to the fact Pagan were child killers and uncivilized subhumans before Christianity was properly introduced to them. Good to see we're on the same side of that.

>He literally cites sources you handicapped faggot.
So why don't you post those sources, here?
What are you afraid of?

>>941969276
>being around people who share your interests has literal physical benefits
Nobody seems to like the things I like, or if they do they're 1 in a million random weirdos on 4chan (99% bots and shills anyways) or some dead forum from 20 years ago, halfway across the world, who I couldn't possibly meet up with without either of us spending extravagant amounts of money for... what? A slumber party with pizza and soda and our mutual hobbies?

Where could you possibly find friends with non-normalfag interests, physically? Seriously, I need to know and am all ears. Even then, everyone is very judgmental, I am judgmental, and any attempt at interaction always fails because someone likes or dislikes the wrong media, or has the wrong belief, or any number of nitpicks than make spending long periods around a person uncomfortable and like pulling teeth. If I happen to share an interest in obscure RPGmaker games and JRPG fan translations with someone and we meet up, what if they listen to some faggot music? What if they smoke weed and that stuff is gross and annoying? What if my bodily habits are gross and annoying to them, and the music I like sounds like noise? So we may share one or two interests but are otherwise opposites who drive each other apart. And you don't have to be autistic or neurotic nowadays to be judgmental enough to do that. Seemingly everyone I meet is willing to drop a potential friendship and likely ghost you over fucking nothing. I eventually started doing it until recently when it hit me how wrong all of this is.

John Donne was wrong, every man is actually an island adrift an endless, lonely sea.

he's afraid of death and what might come after it, like every single person out there, but usually the atheists like him more than others are utterly terrified of the "unknown" that comes past death, so he won't do anything to actually end his life, cause if he truly had no fear and just thought there's nothing after death and he would just "cease to exist", he'd just take the first opportunity to kill himself.

bs. I walked around for 15 years dealing with suicidal ideation every day and every setback threw me into a spiral of self loathing, anxiety and defeatism. And dealing with the occational depressive episode and a major severe one every 5 years.

Now I havent had a suicidal thought for 4 years.

>>941969331

>he thinks being suicidal for 15 years straight is normal
It's only through God's Mercy and Grace alone that you've been freed of that stuff for all those 4 years now and you don't even realize it so you can thank Him for the fact He loves you enough to have helped you out of that problem without you even having to come ask Him in the first place like you would be supposed to do.
But you're either just going to take it for granted or mock the idea altogether, cause that's easier I guess than coming to terms with there being something more to it than meets the eye.

Honestly, hitting rock bottom. Had the worst major depressive episode of my life, 1 and a half year of pure emotional and psychological agony. And on top of all that alot of sad shit happened like people close to me dying and alot of other shit. It was the point were it got so bad that it wasnt sustainable. I remember giving myself a year and if I hadnt improved, I would off myself. Nearly did a few times.

It was honestly alot of work trying to go through all of my emotional baggage and trying to restructure my own messed up psyche. I wish I had a handy point by point guide that would work for everyone, but these things are so induvidual and my method was honestly just hitting rock bottom and realising to my horror there was several rock bottoms beneath it and not wanting to stay there anymore.

Do you remember how God sent bears to kill children because they laughed at some bald guy(jewish rat). No? Me neither. Must have been the wind.
Do you remember how I (the physical incarnation of the Jewish rat God) was killed on the cross (because I spoke out against Jewish rats and their businesses) so that mankind did not have to suffer anymore? Yeah, I guess that did not work out so well. But anyway, be strong and remember that "the lord" (Jewish rat) is somewhere out there watching rabbis fuck little boys in the schvitz and letting catholic priests rape little girls and boys up their asses and he also thinks its cool because he needs some of us to go to hell otherwise why would he even invent hell if nobody goes there? Why does an all encompassing and benevolent jewish rat god need hell if he loves all? Well, I mean, I don't know. I am just the messenger.

I don't think that depression is a particularized, discrete phenomenon so much as it is the absence of certain things that our brains need: in particular, a support group of people who respect and care about you, and hope. Not hope in the gay normalfaggot sense where hope is just an empty buzzword that means be happy, but actionable hope that tomorrow will bring you something better. More wealth, more fame, more power, more strength, more intelligence, more success in your career, etc.
I've acquired both of these things recently and I feel it has made a huge difference.

It's just gotten that bad. Chan culture broke containment while at the same time 4chan itself has failed to produce anything of cultural relevance in almost a decade. (Remember when 4chan had enough of a defined culture and community that it could accomplish things like producing and sending cards or collages to people in the industry? I still remember the collage that was made for the staff at Nintendo Treehouse because people liked the girl with the fat tits who was on stage at E3 before culture wars hit critical mass) I can't even really think of the particular reasons I jump onto this site anymore. Actual good threads about video games people are playing are becoming a rarity. Every release is now a made-up controversy with some whacko or two shitstirring to derail the discussion all with the same dumbass talking points I've read discussed to death 3 times over for years. I recognize this apathy because it was the same form of apathy I felt before I just stopped checking my twitter account too (granted, getting signed off gave the final push I needed, couldn't have been bothered to try to remember my password to sign back in.) There's been times now where I just take breaks because there's only so many steam chart or random twitter screencap threads one can tolerate before they just get bored.

I think you are expecting too much out of individuals. No one going to be super great friend where you vibe on all the same things and its all happy days.
You can spend time with individuals about specific interests, maybe you find some other things in common and its even better, but there isn't going to be some person who fulfills it all. Not even a clone of yourself.
Personally I find that appreciating the time you do spend with people, the interactions you do have, are what you should focus on, not that they could be deeper or you could get more out of them.

>what if they have a problem with X thing I do
who cares? if they have a problem with it they will avoid you and you don't need to do anything, don't put in some insane amount of effort, be happy yourself and try to include others but don't make things reliant on them.
>But if I don't like Z thing about them
then don't spend time with them? if it only comes up and you never need to deal with it then who cares, if they start inconveniencing you then again, just don't spend more time with them.

Don't seek all of this from one person, its way easier to find many who fulfill what you need, and in my opinion, way better since when you get annoyed or exhausted by one group you can spend more time with others until you "recover" so to speak.

NTA but I don't think they were trying to dismiss the existence of chronic depression, more that they feel that what fuels the sense of depression and nihilism in a lot of younger people are suffering today is coming more from the sensation of feeling trapped or stuck in society, rather than from a chronic illness that they were always stuck with. The sensation is just muddled because the conditions fueling the former have been present for so long that some people think it's chronic because their lives have just felt like that their entire lives.

I used to date a girl with chronic depression, it definitely does exist, and seeing how chronic depression manifests itself I can see a clear contrast between it and what is just nihilism. I just wish things could be easier for others. Just like that other another I got into a position that has given me more hope for my future, but I feel like it was nothing more than pure luck that I was able to seize the moment that granted me that hope.

Where else is there to go to lurk, read, and/or add to interesting discussions anon? Reddit is fucked, discord is a non-starter, and the only forums I’ve seen active these days are for urban exploring. More people combined with centralization of the internet has screwed a lot. Is there some other sites or forums to interact on?

Before I see “touch grass”, now the internet intertwines with reality and people are more anti social than actual misanthropes in the early 2000s. Then current economic stress just increases their hostility. If offline and online suffer the same issues where do you go? I’m lucky that I got a few friends I still regularly hang with but if they died I genuinely wouldn’t know where to start now.
