Losing Interest in Everything

Either your depressed or your brain has now been fully red pilled my friend. I'm 27 and believe me I feel the same.

Happened about a year ago to me I just started to notice the things I used to love sinking time into suddenly were not stimulating me at all. I've tried to change up a lot of things in my life to see if I find something that used to bring as much joy as those things use to. The search continues.

Try and keep your chin up mate, I like to focus on long term personal goals etc it helps a bit. Keep on keeping on friend.

OK, you guys caused me to think, and I think I have the solution. I have to contribute to something, not just sock away $ and sit and breathe and expect to be happy about it. I think volunteering will help, will let you know.

This may get back to the old "Fight Club" problems — when all of our survival problems have been solved, when we're just adding crap to our well-appointed homes, what motivation does our brain have to stay alive?

You mentioned that "you were asked at work." I believe that's your problem — having a job, having a normal life. If you get yourself for a few weeks into a situation with no digital bullshit, no plantation-suitable job, you may find certain systems in your brain and the rest of your body flushing themselves of the miserable patterns they're accustomed to. Your brain may cry out for these things. I truly believe the human body is 100% content in the environment it evolved for — we assume this with zoo animals as obvious, but we deny it to ourselves.

I'm 30, at this age and beyond it's crazy simple to get stuck in routine and do the same shit over and over.

Been through depression all of my life but it's getting better as I get older cause I don't give a fuck as much anymore, so take an honest suggestion from me and do something different. Could be anything, just do something that you want to try that's new and experience new things... Just not with a woman or you'll be right back at square one lol.

Wish you luck bud.

This is a hard question to answer. Sounds to me you might be stuck in a rut or are getting closer to chronic depression. You're posting on a MGTOW subreddit so I'm assuming you're MGTOW. We're all conditionned to want to be "productive members of society" by wanting to work, consume, work, consume and then eventually die off.

I think you need to wake up and start to realize that life has no purpose other than the one we ascribe to it once you reject the traditional model that we were programmed to follow.

Being single (and hopefully not suffering from financial difficulties that can be caused by Divorce), as a guy, you don't need much to live on, which leaves you with the ability to not have to work so many hours to maintain a roof over your head so why not spend that free time you have to try new stuff.

Each day, ... or each week, try something new ... maybe you'll find something you're really good at and enjoy doing that brings a little bit of meaning to your life. Doesn't have to be a work thing ... could be just working in a soup kitchen, helping homeless guys, whatever toots your horn.

The act of giving selflessly is often rewarding in its own right. There are a lot of "wrongs" out there that need to be righted. Not saying to become a white night or anything like that, but lending a hand to another fellow man is often something that offers a bit of succor to one's own emptiness.

I had an acquaintance who was suffering from serious PTSD who lost everything (wife, kids, etc ...). Really, all he needed was a roof over his head while he tried to get his life under control .. so I gave room & board. After a few months of not living in the street and having gotten a bit of dignity back, he's doing better. Not perfect but better.

He got a job recently and started giving back, and he's getting help.

I consider him a friend now, but you know, sometimes in the giving we gain something back. To me, that's become part and parcel of why I'm around.

Sometimes, you need to give to get. And it doesn't require to be monetary in nature.

Ding.

I had a lot of dreams and project concerning women and career. Didn't get the women and the women i got screwed up my career.

Nothing is really fun or attractive anymore. Most people are a source of negativity.

The only thing that i want now is living as a lone wolf. Lifting, pumping eating smoking drinking quality stuff and enjoying the present of life.

Read some Schaupenhauer.

Scandinavianredpill · 2017-06-03T13:54:03+00:00

get your testosterone checked. I had low grade depression without knowing it and also lack of drive. I am another human being now, much happier and much more driven.

Sivitiri · 2017-06-03T13:56:56+00:00

I think its more along the line of the money doesnt matter because you have enough to not care about it. I find most people that have unreal fantasies about falling into a nestegg are very unsatisfied with thier lives/wives.

When I hit 30 my Give-o-fuck factor disapeared, small things like a good cup of coffee and breakfast in a quiet home became more important than blasting across the dunes in a quad.

When you get to the point of knowing that you are only in this for yourself life gets easier you arent getting lazy.

zurrain · 2017-06-03T19:27:45+00:00

Sounds like depression. And no, a lack of interest isn't a side effect of being "fully red-pilled" or whatever horseshit the top comment is peddling. Being red pilled should lead to an explosion of interests as you can focus your concentration away from women.

The best way to combat depression and apathy is to find a goal and work towards it.

ItsJustbanterm8 · 2017-06-03T08:00:58+00:00

I had that two years ago. Absolute, total nihilism.

I had to realize that I have to do things in life for me, because I want them, not for women, for family, for Joe Blow down the street or God in the sky.

If life is meaningless at least have some fun with it.

I recommend looking up Albert Camus.

Perfect! It's time for you to seek spiritual enlightenment/awakening/liberation/salvation.

As men, we are driven to seek the ultimate truth, the truth about life and death. Material things, especially women, are distractions that conceal this truth. So disillusionment with material things, especially women, is a normal part of the truth-seeking process. The Buddha, for example, felt the same way you do before he began his quest.

But the only truth worth knowing cannot be taught or learned, it must be realized through individual experience, as the Grim Reaper himself says in this video, from 40:30 to 42:54

Seek, and ye shall find. Ask, and ye shall receive.

I suggest the use of drugs

What more do you want? SC2 is life.

Muginns · 2017-06-03T14:22:50+00:00

I can't tell you what is important or meaningful to you brother. Sounds like you may need some one to one time with a friend or family member.

If it helps, I'm 50 and having the best time of my life doing various creative works (writing, singing, photography) which express my deepest emotions. I have to get that stuff out in the open somehow!

You have done some writing here on reddit, that's got to mean something. Keep thinking about your life and posting here if it helps.

Volcanic-Penguin · 2017-06-03T14:53:24+00:00

There's a part of me that thinks this is the goal, to be free from desire, but I suppose it's not that great after all?

To be honest I've never lost interest in creating art, playing videogames and having sex. I'm working on the last one.

dfsdfsfsff · 2017-06-03T16:22:46+00:00

probably low testosterone honestly ..around 30 it starts to drop like 20-25% every decade

WhistlingAlong · 2017-06-03T18:58:18+00:00

It's just a phase and weather change. For instance yesterday I could of went out but I just crashed and woke up this morning. The body just needed a physical rest and I feel great and already set my plans for a few weekends ahead, even if a few are to simply play some video games with my crew.

I think weather effects the brain also but being filly red pilled helps. Just do what benefits you. My friends are all going to vacation tommorow. I'm using the money to get my right sleeve finished. To me it's something that will last longer than a trip to a beach watching the ladies, who are going also, get my blue pilled acquaintances to pay for everything.

Just find what makes you benefit you. Then you will get that spark back.

Diam35 · 2017-06-03T19:47:35+00:00

Thanks a lot guys for your advice, I really appreciate this sub and wish I had found it sooner.

Edit: it's very humbling.

HandyManDan90 · 2017-06-03T21:37:08+00:00

Even if I won a million pound, my life wouldn't be any different.

Pely777 · 2017-06-03T18:30:58+00:00

Travel to another country, do something different! But thats just a temporary solution...

chasingsnow · 2017-06-03T19:22:50+00:00

hard to read your tone here. if you're totally sad and depressed, get help or talk about your feelings.

for me I feel very much like this but NO SADNESS, not at all. i love this feeling. i'm older now, nothing is "New" to me, i've had adventures and fucked some hot chicks. i've played games, had bros, done great work, life has a bit of existential dread to it, no doubt. i think its why most marriages fail, you get older and its like, oh, there isn't much meaning to life, nothing is exciting and you realize its better to just die alone in dread than fake some pretend happiness.

but having said that, i love it. i love the calm of being MGTOW and not having the "loneliness" i felt in my 20's, that need to mate, now i have no debt and a good job and tons of time and my health at least for now.

now i just feel happiness in existence. that kind of buddhist enlightenment in just realize all is dust and impermanent, so enjoy what you have. it's hard to feel anything but appreciation, but then again i'm free and never married, so its easy.

Find a new purpose brother.
