Venting Do any of you feel shallow ?

[continuing]

Is something that bugs me from time to time, specially when i see other people around me who can have those deep, intelectual conversations, about life, philosophy etc...

I do feel shallow, maybe dumb is the better word but is as simple as feeling like youre just like a npc, with nothing to contribute to other people talks and stuff, like...

People talk about life and, they phylosophy, and i don't feel i have one, i feel like, im just there, living, i would say that one of the things i might consider is just, the idea of testing, like just testing and seeing stuff thought just too see the results you know, but i dont consider this a philosophy or a higher thought of life.

I really belive life is random, and that we might encrise our chances of succes by effort, doesnt mean we will succeed, just the we might get better.

Well i guess this is only a way of me trying to prove that im not shallow myself but to be honest, i dont think i have stuff on me.

You have a very Laissez-faire temperament, which means you just let the world around you go, and you just chill for the ride. It doesn't show a lack of intelligence, it's just a different way seeing life. Your thoughts are not shallow if you choose a way of living that other who talk about such things could understand.

Yes! I'm basically a side character in my own life. I can't go to functions or meaningfully socialise because of my disability and it's left me with no one but internet ghosts to keep me company. And even on the fucking internet I can't make friends because I don't watch the latest shonen anime or play Genshin Impact or listen to Radiohead and instead listen to post-rock music from the '90s and Captain Beefheart and read nasty litbro bullshit like DFW the audience of which I hate and do nothing with other people because of the former reason

I'm definitely not as knowledgable as others. Certain subjects like politics, I am too clueless over to have a strong opinion.

But, you do seem to have philosophies about life- you think life is largely random but certain efforts increase our chances. I agres with that. Just because it isn't written down in some heavy book, doesn't mean it's not a philosophy. Doesn't mean you don't think about life either.

Plus, it's kind of fine to go with the flow- if you can. It likely causes less stress in life- if we are able to accept things as they are. Even if it's through lethargy or anhedonia, it's still an approach to living. A sort of philosophy in a way. It's one that some religions even aim for- to try and accept things as they are.

Do you have niche interests in things? Maybe it's simply that you haven't found people with similar interests to talk to.

I'm sure I come across as kind of weird to a lot of people. I tend to relate best to creative people because- we recognise in one another that core obsession. Sometimes, I think it's about finding your own 'tribe'.

I do. I observe and analyze everything, but it's not deep. I just think of things in terms of benefit vs cost.
I've watched Monster and read Berserk, and I didn't feel anything. People rate these highly and deeply think about the subjects, while I just focus on the details and would probably look dumb if I tried to talk about them. I feel like I'm a pretender when trying to talk about complex subjects. I'm pretty much a parrot too.

i guess if youre ok with that, my problem is that i feel im lacking something

damn im sorry for that, i guess you need new folks to talk with

maybe, maybe i havent found my own tribe, i do have stuff i like to talk about, my nishes, is just feels shallow comparing to ways of living or meaning of life and all.

you said you do like creative people, i like those folks too, even with it looks weird, if you wanna talk, i feel i need some people to talk with,.just about anything

I don't think that makes you shallow because philosophy is an interest that one practices and a skill that one cultivates like any other hobby. Anybody who is able to discuss philosophy has taken the time to learn about it. If you haven't done so that doesn't say anything about your character, just how you prefer to use your time.
