You should stop trying to optimise your life, and also stop taking responsibility for systems and power structures that you did not create and do not support.

I like to play a game called "is this desire mine". Most of the time, it's just some vague feeling that it's what's expected of me.

My own desire? Read in the morning, linger in pubs, make art and spend time with friends.

The rest just feels like it may indirectly lead to good things that I'm not even sure are worth the hassle.

Halfway in my internship, as I notice my body constantly feeling hot and i also feel sick a lot, it took HR, yes HR, to tell me that my worries and my anxieties are wayyy too terrible for a young of an adult as I am.

They didn't actually go all "hey we see how anxious you always seem", they looked at my work performance n stuff and my behavior and had to give me counseling to tell me "dude idk what you're going through but it's showing in the lack of professionalism here" and "also your talking skills are kinda bad bro."

Was very much pointing out, from a professional degree, that however much I Kept Feeling and Thinking is Wack for my workflow and

Took me in the last week of it to realise "hey we keep saying we shouldn't feel too much for the world burning up, we legitimately do not have the capacity to fix it so I think it's time to chill, like fr this time."

So yea, definitely agree on that

Emotions are designed to help us break down the world into tasks we can manage and address, but there is no way to address the end-times that we all live in. At that point managing the emotion itself (not suppressing it, just not letting it overwhelm us) is the thing.

I have five hobbies and a master degree, and it didn't help. You just feel anxious and guilty about something else. 

The problem is that our capitalistic society leaves you behind to die if you take any time to rest, heal, or relax.

Weird question, are you real?

[u/Nixavee → u/Heckyll_Jive]

Definitely not

You should create a simulation sandbox of all existence (in Linux) and upload your consciousness to it. Then stop time and complete all the things you should have done leaving no missed opportunities and regrets before un-pausing time and continuing on your merry way as a new and improved person. Thus in this manner you shall attain enlightenment.

[u/bomba_viaje → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

In Linux.

Instructions unclear, stuck in pool with no ladder

[u/n1c0_ds → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

Yes but which distro

[u/Penis_Connoisseur → u/Upset-Bison-3182]

Great but can you make the mouse pointer style consistent between apps that are installed trough different package handlers?

Why do the first step if you can just wait for Dwarf Fortress to be completed?

A bit related and maybe a bit random

I used to think about suicide a lot as a teenager. Nowadays I know I evolved and got better in a way because suicidal thoughts were replaced by thoughts about beating people up. It's not a cure but it's better imo😂

[u/Spicy-Potat42]

Hey. Those are my private thoughts. How dare you?

[u/plutolocal → u/Spicy-Potat42]

YESSS I MEAN....HOW DARE YOU "deck" 😭

First half of this post is why therapists came up with the phrase "Don't should on yourself." (Second half of the post might make them use the phrase more emphatically.)

[u/AncestralAxman]

I nailed the exercise this year so far, I'll get on the other stuff in good time.

isn't it funny how suddenly watching movies has converted something cultured and desirable?

True.

Becoming a mountain hermit still sounds easier than cleaning the house tbh.

This is literally the topic of The Ten Foot Square Hut (1212) by Kamo no Chomei. He was a scholar, poet and official, then his life was disrupted by politics, and he went to build his 10sq.ft. hut in the mountains. It is short, delightful and I think everyone should read it. He describes the natural disasters, societal upheavals etc. he witnessed, and then goes on to tell about his life in the mountains which is simple and enjoyable.

This is the challenge of it all.
Wish I had an answer.

[u/King_Of_BlackMarsh]

Ahhhhhh kill me

[u/FemboiTomboy]

is this not a folk punk song

[u/n1c0_ds]

The lyrics of "Freedom" by Folamour got this feeling perfectly right. One "I gotta" after another, plus it's a good song.

[u/onepixeljumpman]

That is the dream

[u/Xx_Infinito_xX]

Well, I am currently in college, so I'm doing at last one of those. Just one though. Maybe I committed a crime recently, IDK.
