I am no longer attached to human concerns

[universe]

How to live in this world when you are no longer connected to basic human considerations?

I don't want children, get married, develop a professional career, adopt animals, travel or anything, or buy real estate. All these concerns which are nevertheless the meaning of life for the vast majority of humans on earth.

So wouldn't CTB be inevitable? How to continue to live in a world when one is no longer really alive, no longer really the spirit on earth to live a normal life there....

 

[rationaltake]

Gotcha! I'm old and not invested in life at all. I just need to go.

The life you're talking about is not a normal life, but a traditional one. It's just traditional, and there are many options for life... If you suddenly feel inferior because of this

I'm right there with you. Like a fish that no longer likes the water or anything in it. No other options really. Head to shore and CTB

I don't even enjoy holidays. It's all pointless.

I didn't think you were! I just meant that most of those things are not even a possibility for me so why am I here? Sorry you're in this state.

The young people on here often seem to have quite an organic form of depression which doesn't seem to match their actual options. The older people, (and I include myself in their number,) seem to have more situational depression which is harder to fix. Exercise, meditation, (please don't start taking meds- it's the reason I'm here,) can help organic depression. There's not always something you can do for situational depression as circumstances can't always be changed.

Why do you think I only have organic depression? My depression is mainly situational, however it is just an observation.
And thank you, what a good idea meditation, really, I had not thought of it! (ironic).

I've never had any interest in living personally. Nothing could make me want to stay here and I don't see life as being desirable. I just think that for me life itself is the problem, I have a very strong dislike of existence and I don't see life to be worth living. I'm not meant for this world at all and I've never belonged here. To die would certainly be ideal, I've always found the thought of death to be comforting. I understand how you feel, I've never felt alive, I've only just existed.

Me too, really. I find it painful walking. I have become so unfit that I can hardly move and have no energy. I have no ambition and no motivation to continue, really.

I know that feeling all too well. When I walk in the street, it's like my legs weigh a ton, I walk very slowly, like I'm sick and the wind could take me away and I could fall at any moment. I feel a strong pain in the chest of sadness. And the worst part is that I tell myself that if I fall, I could stay on the ground for a long time before I get up again, so tired I am, or sink into the ground or go up to the sky. These sensations make me think that I am no longer of this world, that physically my body is still there but with difficulty, I have already left.

I understand how you feel, I've never felt alive, I've only just existed.

This terrible feeling of no longer being alive, and that nothing will ever work out, no matter what we do. Death becomes necessary.
Human existence is for me one of the greatest mysteries, but also how it managed to persist and multiply. This results in the feeling of not understanding the world because I do not belong to it, even if de facto if by my body and my mind are still there.

You pretty much nailed it. You don't. Especially when you had all of that and it was taken from you. At that point there is no reason to continue.

I don't even enjoy holidays. It's all pointless.

It's been years since I've enjoyed a holiday. It really puts into perspective how much I'm not meant for this world.

I can deeply relate with this post.

If you've ever heard of the term/phrase "Existential Depression", that's basically what I've been having for so many years, and it only got much worse now as I'm much older now (40). It basically kills any motivation/energy/will to live, in this petty world/society/life/existence & reality.

Consciousness is a burden, which I agree with pessimism (or Philosophical Pessimism).

Exactly. How else? Because everything is destroyed over time. This existential problem has been around for a while, but like you, it's getting worse every day. I send you courage, support and peace in this ordeal.

I've tried to not be attached but the best I can do is short-term denial.

 

[Lost Magic]

Yeah, I am so done with all the bullshit of the world now, and things are only getting worse.
Time to die!
