I understand choice paralysis and all that but… for me it’s the loss of joy.
What movies and shows am I excited about seeing anymore? Hardly anything. Another recycled story or regurgitation from franchise obsessed studios. It’s not impossible to find new things to watch, just harder.
Clothes? I work and have to adhere to a dress code of sorts. I have two days a week I get to wear something I like.
Now food can still bring joy at times, but that fridge will not satisfy my anxiety no matter how long I look into it. I used to enjoy waking up to coffee and breakfast. Now I have to work at it to keep it from becoming entirely utilitarian.
I used to read a lot when I was younger. My house has books in almost every room. I buy books still, but can’t bring myself to read them.
These aren’t insurmountable problems, but yeah. It can be hard to find the joy in it sometimes.
everything in media is so risk averse that banality is a garentee
technology standardization as well, everything became homogenous but necessity is the mother of invention and all the boutique techniques and solutions to work around their short comings would lead to something difficult to replicate
Same for me. I just don’t feel entertained anymore.
Current video games are all stupid. Current tv series and movies are stupid too. What do I do? What can I do?
Currently I can only relax and have some fun by reading fantasy stories. Everything else is literally not bearable anymore.
I hope to go on my first week long bike packing tour in early summer when it’ll be warm enough for camping. It’s going to be my first long camping tour. Just to do something completely different I never did before. I fear I’ll go crazy if I don’t do something like that.
I saw a small report about a retired woman walking (!) with a donkey (!) through the country. She did 650 km last year which is impressive for a 70 year old. Currently she’s staying at a camping site where they keep donkeys because it’s too cold and her donkey needs contact to other donkeys from time to time. Incredible stuff!
These aren’t insurmountable problems, but yeah.
They way you are describing it points to you having depression. You should visit a doctor and talk about it. Depression is actually an illness that could cost you your life (by lowering your instinct of self preservation and sometimes outright ignoring it).
