How do you adapt or cope with the awful world?

[timetosleep]

I don't like the world or people in general. The world we live in is very violent and based on greed. People are self-centered and hurt one another without a second thought. I have been trying to cope with this all my life, but I still have a hard time accepting that the world we live in is the way it is. It's one of the main reasons I don't want to live in this world.

Any one else feel like they don't have a place in this crazy world? How do you cope or adapt?

for your first question, 100% i wasnt made for this place. and im tired of being in it.

for the second 1 im still trying to find that answer. my "advice" would be just be alone. but thats not much of a "living" answer....so it feels more like a deadend/just ctb anyway...

but i dont feel like im right here either.
thought i was an alien as a kid. still think about it sometimes. it would make more sense

I certainly agree with you that this world is--as a whole, that is--crazy, incoherent, as if [it's] a hormone-riddled teenager high on hormones, at the dizzying heights of angst. But that teenager even sometimes goes out to have a chill drink somewhere, but that's beside the point.

I think in a way, everyone who lives--yes, including the non-suicidal--have themselves a way of hiding from the insanity of the whole world, from time to time. Every little coffee-shop chat like a pocket from the cold in the whole of the outside. Sometimes we go out from our sanctuary and find novel peaces along with novel insanities.

My way of dealing with how crazy the world as a whole, is sometimes to remember that you're not the only one who recognizes is, and feels appalled by it. There is good reason why people don't talk & think [of] politics 24/7, the world is a chaotic and hard to deal with place, so we save ourselves and take breaks.

Know that the world was not made for anyone in particular; so even if it's not for anyone, that also means it's for everyone as well, whether that be a good or bad thing. I say that it's possible for us to make places there[,] for ourselves, despite all the alienation and confusion throughout here and there--to make sanctuary from the rubble, and know people who are worth knowing. My words put forth.

Meditating helps me to detach from the painful and hateful voices within my head.

It is all too painful nonetheless.

I hide away like a fucking coward.

 

[Depressed2]

My cats are the only reason that im alive. I live for them,i love them.
I look to them as if they are my kids; i can't leave them behind.

 

[Hollowman]

I have no place, I dissociate every waking moment.

 

[Lookingtoflyfree]

I'm planning to move to a saner state while determining long term where to go. I don't really have a place, so I cope with hobbies and online communities. I've given up a long of normal life because I just feel so broken and lost.

I no longer wish to do anything other than create/revel in the arts whenever I am displeased with life

 

[harlow-paige]

mostly just isolate and slash or dissociate away from the majority of the outside world, but that's a such a double edged sword, fricking human brains craving connections. I think recently i've kinda discovered (yeah it took me a while) that so many things and so many people aren't really worth putting my energy into, sure it feels empty and lonely but it's way less stressful.

 

[timetosleep]

I am having a very hard time coping of late. I don't know how most people do it. They don't even think that there is anything wrong with the world. They think that the cruelty is normal and don't feel any empathy for those who are suffering. I wish I don't wake up. It would be good if this nightmare of existence would end.

escapism, sleeping a lot, working out, not much else.

 

[idelttoilfsadness21]

I use to daydream a lot, I still write stories based on my imagination (currently next life), I sleep, use to watch dramas, but noticed the real world piles up on you and escapism is very hard when you are forced to live in such an insufferable world and be around it constantly and panicking for a way out, so for me (how I get through it), it's through ctbing, as there is no answer and never truly were... (I don't recommend you choose my method of how I get through such a gloomy, dark world), because I just know your comfort and your inner peace is the only way to it, but mine was always taking for me, and this is my answer for myself :')

I cope by rewashing shows over and over because having a predictable narratives is comforting compared to the chaos outside.

As for adapting, it's more improv for most people rather than a specific method. Most people don't know what they're doing, and if someone tells you they know better they're probably trying to sell you something.

And music. Reading sometimes but it takes a good book to keep my attention.

Have you ever tried reading sociology or political science? I was in the same position as you, and understanding how society and the political system is structured helped a lot. And the people who are interested in those topics are usually the ones who DO think that something is wrong with the world, so you'll be in good company if you ever decide to join a group, party, or whatever. There are a lot of very accessible books.

I sleep. I've had a very fucked up sleep schedule for months now to where I stay up until 6-8 am or I sleep until its 8 pm. Whenever I'm awake it's constant music.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I mostly just stick my head in the sand as much as I can. I just try to get lost in my own (creative) work with stuff on in the background to take me off into that world.

Plus, I suppose I try to appreciate the things/ people who aren't so shitty! If someone is kind to you, if a company treats you well, the real heroes out there who rescue animals etc. Plus, I try to do my bit and be polite to others.
