I am so fatigued with so much negativity that happens in the world and in my personal life as well. I have become numb to the topics I used to care such as politics, equal rights, environment and so on: I just want my day to end and that’s it. I don’t think I’m depressed tho (I used to and I know what it is like).
I don’t know what to do. What would you suggest doing? Thank you.
For me: it’s the total loss of faith in humanity.
Even the political views I used to associate with “the good people” - now I see their proponents as maniputive, self-serving, bullies.
So there’s no cause to support anymore: no good or evil. No point supporting the needy: because they’re terrible people just like everyone else - I’ll only be supporting their selfishness and the suffering they will create.
So all I’m left with is: getting from this moment of time until the time of my death as easily as possible.
Yeah, it’s tough. We’re kind of raised with the expectation there’s good people and bad people, right? Some are savvy enough to know that’s bullshit really early on; others don’t care if it’s literally true and can just live in the fantasy. The rest of us have to deal with it if and when we figure it out.
It seems like there should be a way to live a good life in a world full of morally neutral people. I can’t really say I’ve figured it out.
That’s because the mouthpieces for these things are all being taken by politicians,YouTubers, and tiktok people who are primarily there to grift and attention whore. You can still support the people who need help without consuming these people’s content. Just focus on what you can do locally and work your way out from there.
IRL activists also tend to be pretty funny (yes this is a self-own). Doing abstract good just isn’t a strong motivator on it’s own.
