Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
Just want someone I can spend time with what's left. Someone with open ears, chalkboard of info, warmth of a touch. Go find her I mean him, easier said than done. I'm praying I want her here.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85171680


I wish you the best and I hope you find her.

I'd like to find my person too, but I wonder if it would be unkind to show up as someone who is thinking the relationship will ease my existential unease. That's a lot of pressure and responsibility to put on someone.

Learn guitar, or drums.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81226607


ha, maybe. I played bass guitar as a teenager, and have thought about revisiting it. They really are just thoughts coming from youthful nostalgia and remembering one of the times when life felt exciting. I am 37 now though, so probably won't be going down that route again.

Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
Everyone gets to a point where tech interferes with their lives, yet many don't understand because they're constantly surrounded by It

If you shut the screens off, your mind does fascinating things

It works organically and you begin to see direction

And it could take a little while, so be sure to help it along with a beach, a forest, a sunrise, a sunset, a campfire and some good books to read

Ambition

Without want it’s pretty much pointless

I get it
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85158116


That is what it feels like.

Is that all there is? I want for there to be more to living beyond achieving desires.

I know that I don’t want to let this go on any longer, but I am stuck in weird rut and I don’t feel like I know how to fix it.
 Quoting: LucyLucid


I don't have any advice but have noticed a lot of people going through similar struggles. I've been a bit down myself as of late.

Hugs to you and wishing you the clarity and inner strength to pull yourself up out of your rut.

There is no fixing this life. You MUST settle your account with the Lord God Most High who we all sinned against by entering into the human flesh. Prepare your soul for what comes after.

www.kleckfiles.com

This should be the purpose of your life. Nothing else will matter when it's over.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6320573


Before doing that settle relationships in this world.

That’s a cause of a lot of unconscious pain that doesn’t go away unless we deal with or at the least reach out anew to those who have hurt us or we have hurt.

The most sensitive souls cannot outlast the lesser sensitive ones.

Do the hard, unfinished stuff always. Everyday.

You might be surprised
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85153478


That's good advice. There are people out there who deserve apologies or affirmations from me. Reaching out is difficult, but I think that would mean something.

I could stand to make a 'My Name is Earl' type of list.

I think deep down inside most of us just want to help someone succeed and be happy or laugh , but there is a point you can get to that it’s just not worth the risk of failing someone else or watching someone never struggle or even notice there is a struggle for others .

have you considered maybe doing some crack. or meth. having a bunch of sex with random people? even lesbian sex?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79429052



I already know that self destruction and dopamine chasing are not going to do anything for me. None of those are things I am at all interested in doing.

Thats the thing thought, there are hundreds of things out there that could be thrilling or entertaining. They aren't enough on their own. I don't know WHY they aren't enough, they just aren't.

Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
There are lots of people around me that literally have more then I can even imagine just handed to them at a very early age and then they are compelled to still complete with the people with little or nothing in their beginnings.

Such is life and it sucks

I was looking around recently and noticed all the good land was privet and all the water was owned and that the only real way to make things even remotely fair would be to send in the tanks ..

1. All is vanity. When you embrace that you notice the small things that begin to have meaning, like a sole bird singing at 4:53 AM.
2. There are a few others that feel the same. There is a quantum of solace in knowing that.
3. This world is not as it appears.
4. God loves you more than you can imagine.

 Quoting: LucyLucid


those things aren't enough, when done "alone"

the most exhilarating, adrenaline pumping, thrill seeking experiences are meaningless and worthless "alone"

"life" isn't meant to be done "alone"

I'd have a much better time and fulfilling experience sitting on a park bench in a graveyard,
with a lady who is intentionally and willing doing and sharing life with me

than doing the "supposedly" most adventurous thrill seeking adrenaline rush, heart pounding, "entertaining" experiences alone


zest for life comes from sharing it with someone legit

There’s a 0.0% chance all the women on GLP with the cute avatars are real. They all came out of nowhere and started posting idyllic prepper babe fantasies. This place truly is great if you think about the real show.

Going to see live music use to give me inspiration. I loved seeing a performer pour their heart and soul out over a song. Alt country, punk rock, rockabilly were favorites.

Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
I hear you OP I’m the same. I’m one of the rare people that loves their job I work as a cameraman and my hobby is photography anyway. Lately the world just seems off, it’s the jabs it’s a depopulation plan unfolding before our eyes. I’ve lost a lot of motivation and so have my friends too.

The things that keep me happy are:

Animals, exercise, cycling, Spotify premium, weed in moderation and GREAT BOOKS. You can download all the classics for free. Some are life-changing.

The vaxxed are acting weird AF too.

Chin up. Keep going.

Are you an animal lover? One of the few things that make me happy in this life are my dogs and my chickens. Watching chickens do their thing is more fun than an aquarium.

Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
Hi OP...

Read your thread and have a few general comments.

I personally, and I think most everyone, has experienced what you described. I believe that as we age, the periods become less frequent and of shorter duration. You may be experiencing something of a mid-life crisis as you have unrealized potential (by your own description) an unsatisfying personal life and no blueprint for the future.

Let's start by recognizing you are an EXCELLENT writer and very good at expressing yourself. At the same time, you laid out your situation with a minimum of self pity. That alone makes you stand out at a forum like GLP...and you are not blaming anyone for your current situation. Another positive.

What you need to do first is identify the ROOT CAUSE.

The root cause could be mental or physical...and it is difficult to know which applies here. Therefore, I would recommend you address both concurrently.

If you haven't read it already, look at the COSMIC DEATH FUNGUS thread on GLP. I have been studying it for several months and it has a solid basis in science. Making a few additions of supplements and cutting down or eliminating carbs/sugar is a great start. Also look into OMAD and/or fasting.

Cut down your online time on sites like GLP which tend to create an acidic mental environment with all of the constant doom and gloom. I check in a few times a day for no more than 15-20 minutes. Use the time made available researching nutrition or better yet, check out a few books and do some actual reading.

Think about a field that is of interest to you and take a class at a local community college. It will provide some structure and human input in a controllable fashion.

Pay attention to your diet as well. Eat healthy and cut out most junk food. It is actually cheaper to eat foods which are healthy for you.

I could go on for pages, but from the above you can see there are many POSITIVE changes you can make RIGHT NOW that will start you in a better direction.

Finally, if you are looking for a side hustle, I am looking for an online assistant and your comm skills suggest you would be good at it. Let me know if you have any interest in discussing further.

The people offering religious recommendations are well intentioned, but ultimately we are all responsible for our own happiness and satisfaction...which comes from our choices and taking responsibility for our well being.

Re: Life is feeling like a futile rut and I don’t know how to fix it
I feel the same way OP. I used to have so much more motivation. I used to garden, woodwork, build things, grow things, travel, have all these big dreams.

Today I was looking at my backyard, filled with leaves from last October. I’ve thought about raking them up several times. But then I think, what’s the point, a Russian nuke will take them out soon enough, or I’ll die from the poisons in the food put out there by the Illuminati, so the world can be depopulated, so the earth can go back to nature. I should spend some time putting rain gutters on my house. But who cares, Chinese troops will be marching down my street soon enough, why do I want to put gutters on a house they’ll soon own anyways? I have paint peeling on my shed and the outside boards need re-nailed to the frame, a job that would take mere minutes. I’ve let that Slide Over two years. I don’t give a shit anymore. Why bother to build a life when humanity has been checkmated by Satanist’s? I hate feeling this way too OP. I used to feel like I was going to conquer the world someday. I used to have goals and ambition. Now what’s the point? I wish I had some motivating answer for you that would snap you out of your funk and launch you back into living life. But I’m right here with you, wishing I could muster up just a tad more “give a fuck”
