Discussion Part of the reason I’m suicidal

[kooktae]

Read this on Reddit and this basically sums up why I became suicidal

"Internet is the reason why we lose in life. Let's say you're a true neet (no school or work) but you don't have an access to the internet. Would you like spend rest of your life staring at walls or would you actually go outside to do something? How would you spend your week if you didn't have any screen device? No video games, no Tv, no youtube, no spotify, no porn, no news, no social media. You would probably be more productive or depressed. After you realize that internet is endless entertainment it's really hard to just enjoy normal life, it's easier to be a neet."

I'm have spent over a year now being a beet and just surfing the Internet.

I can relate.

it's kinda ironic, isn't it? about our so-called "modern" life/world

I think about this a lot. It's so cursed being born in this age of technology. We have constant access to things like news and social media too which further spirals our doomerism.

I have thought about this before and concluded that, at least for me, it's probably not the source problem. I just get bored easily and the internet helps pass the time. If there is a power outage I honestly do just sit around doing nothing most of the time. I think if I were forced to go out and do things all the time I would become very drained very quickly. It would be nice to have a little more balance though...
