I’m not so sure that this post belongs here, and I want to clarify: I’m not asking for psychological help of any kind, just sharing my point of view and that’s it.
Well, the title says it all, at my 20’s I’m pretty exhausted of feeling that my life is going in circles and I’m not really sure where I’m going, I’ve read that many people of this age suffer from the same thing but really?
I mean, I’m really tired that humanity is so stupid and will never change and is constantly creating obstacles to make other people’s lives miserable, and I’m sure that will go on until the end of time.
To be precise I do have goals in my life but really the bad things that constantly happen to me and that are unpredictable only take away more and more the desire to achieve those goals, and in the end I really don’t even know why to achieve them and I end up really losing the motivation to achieve those goals.
Thanks for reading.
It’s normal to feel this way. Late-stage capitalism is depressing and alienating for most people.
I find that having a community that actually works towards something good helps. Joining a leftist org can help. Keep in mind by leftist org, I mean actually leftist and not a liberal org where they don’t actually want to change the status quo, they will just make you feel even more hopeless with their “nothing will fundamentally change” attitude
To add to this - it is descriptively normal, but it is very, very, very fucked up that we are subjected to this. “To be well adjusted in a sick society is not a mark of good health.” So it’s only normal in the sense that yes, many other people feel that way and, yes, late-stage capitalism will in fact cause many people to feel that way. Our conditions are not normal, though, and we owe it to ourselves, each other, and our children to make sure nobody has to suffer under this a moment longer than necessary.
100% normal. I’m middle aged and have to conclude you’d seriously need to be fucked in the head to be comfortable in this world. but then again, if you can gather even a tiny ammout of motivation to reach any goals, go for it; be fucked in the head and try to be happy.
Fairly normal, in my work like 50 % had similar quarter life crisis. the depth of aimlessness/pointlessness feeling differs though
I was tired of life by 8
Bingo. It’s the number one reason I want to GTFO the boonies, even though when I discuss this with family members they look at me like I have two heads. At the end of the day, hellworld would be a shit-ton more bearable if I had actual friends and neighbors and enough time to develop creative hobbies.
It was something mentioned in the chapo podcast: suburbia is rife with not producing much and consuming garbage. This isn’t me being a snob, but quite the opposite, suburban WASP snobbery is them doing a disservice to themselves.
