Venting does everything around you feels boring

[hyuk✮i]

for the past few years for me, everything i used to love feels so hollow and i become bored very quickly
back then i could work, draw or play for hours straight, now i can't even do them more than 10 mins without being bored and going back and forth with distractions for an hour until i decide to sleep cause i'm tired and i don't know what to do
hell they don't even help me drown the thoughts anymore

Honestly, this feeling sucks—like when you've got too much free time but no idea what to do with it. Maybe it's because you're alone, or lonely, or whatever—but we just can't enjoy our own company anymore. In my case, when I'm by myself it feels awful, yet interacting with people you only know through some shared purpose or institution feels exactly the same. You know you're "together" because you go to the same school or work at the same place—but outside of that? You wouldn't even bother to say hi. It becomes impossible to recognize yourself. If someone asks what you like or what your hobbies are—shit, I can't answer at all. Right now, maybe it's better this way than having some random distraction constantly bothering us

It's fucking miserable. Because of all this, we can't find anything entertaining anymore—everything's gray, nothing looks appealing, nothing can cheer us up. And yet deep down you still want to talk to someone… weird, right? But that's just my take—what about you? Some of this might be a bit off-topic since it's all from my own perspective. Doing the things we used to love just doesn't feel right anymore—maybe because we always did them with someone close, like a partner or our friend circle. When all that's gone, we feel empty. The very definition of a hobby—"something you often do in your free time"—is gone too. And damn, this free time is pure torture: I don't know what to do, and I have no one to talk to unless we fall back into the same routines—school or work, where we're forced to cooperate. Even then, once the "mission" is over, you all go back to factory settings

i feel pretty much the same, whatever if i'm alone, talking with "friends" even my partner, i still feel the crippling loneliness in me
i have no actual personality or hobbies or anything really, my existence is a agonizing cycle of "wake up, exist, sleep" over and over again, nothing catches my interest or makes me fulfilled
the world has become dull like a dry wall, is it because of a collective desensitisation to all the tragedies and crisis happening? i honestly don't know and i kind of don't care, all i crave is death so i can get out of this miserable life

Man, this really hits home. I hope you can make it through all of this—take care of yourself. I still want to hang in there and see how it all ends, like the outcome or sum (I'm not looking for a trophy for everything I've done; I just want to know what it's all for). Even though right now all I can do is find something to keep me busy to make time fly in this beloved life of mine, I'm not talking about hobbies because they've lost their appeal—I just want to do whatever I need to do to fix something in my life: school, college, work, anything

That's probably what will keep me occupied. I used to think homework was boring and a pain, but now I can lean on it whenever I'm bored, doing nothing but overthinking. I've planted the mindset of "let it happen," letting go of everything behind me, good or bad, because, to me, it's all useless now. It's all gone—there's no point in trying to rewind any of it. As best as we can—me, you, us—we have to hold on. I keep looking for things to stay busy; it might seem tragic, but that's all I can do right now. I can't keep relying on people—they'll disappear just like everything we once knew. We can only let them go because it's fate or whatever. Keep moving as long as you can; I believe you can​

Yes. Even sensational events in the "news" are boring and scripted, like cheap commercials to get sell us something. I only things I must do.

honestly i'm done with life in general, i'm planning to kill myself in a year or two with my partner somewhere, far away
school is absolutely killing me, i get regularly pressured about my grades and what university i should go, which is funny cause i'm planning to dropout after senior year
nothing makes want to stay even a minute longer here, i do hope you find peace in it, don't be like me

 

[Sergeant45]

Well this is depression for you. I couldn't put it better than you did, thank you.

I wish I could give some sort of advice to you about this feeling but, I've been waiting for the endless void to stop for nearly 20 years myself.
I hope you eventually find your peace and the endless boredom will go away one day in the future, no matter if alive or not.

i feel as if there's a wall that's preventing me from enjoying or being interested/invested in the things that i used to enjoy

for the past few years for me, everything i used to love feels so hollow and i become bored very quickly
back then i could work, draw or play for hours straight, now i can't even do them more than 10 mins without being bored and going back and forth with distractions for an hour until i decide to sleep cause i'm tired and i don't know what to do
