Recs?

[BecomingTired]

I deleted all my socials/doomscroll appa from a recent crashout, seeing them just sitting there with all the loneliness building up inside kind of made me do a lot of stuff impulsively but now I just feel utterly empty, not even sad/depressed just sort of like a switch in my mind turned off. any tips to meaninglessly pass time? I was gonna try out outer wilds but not rn.

If there was lectures this week I could've atleast focused on that but there aren't any. And I probably would've skipped anyways if there was.

I really don't feel like downloading any of those apps back either.

Whenever I feel like that I just lie down until I fall asleep. Though, since I have a job now, I can only afford to stare blankly at a wall while I'm half-focused on my work. It's awful how much you need to force yourself to do even the tiniest things when you're alone and / or feel completely burnt out. Other than reading, playing some kind of easy RPG or a gacha game, that has some form of auto play mechanics, are probably among the most common things you can do to just turn off your brain and have 'something' to do. It really depends how empty you feel. Laying in bed all day was always my go-to for passing the time. If you're up for reading, I'd recommend Thomas Bernhard's 'The Loser'

I would like to cordially invite you to the counting game, which I believe some of the participants play for similar reasons. Even without talking, it provides the nice feeling that someone is answering my posts and that I'm not alone, even when everything else feels too much. And oftentimes a little chat emerges between the players, continued alongside those numbers. I actually got to know some people here in this way.
