I was doing pretty well emotionally as a comfy NEET until I got fucking tinnitus in 2017. That hit me pretty hard.

As for people in general, it's probably just the way modern society has become. You're either a have or have not and it's almost impossible to cross that socio-economic divide nowadays. Have nots are getting increasingly depressed and angry (see rise of far left/right politics) at the current state of affairs.

As for the haves, they're happier than ever. Not a fucking care in the world.

1. Lack of stable communities. People are constantly coming and going due to immigration and the need to find a job so they’re moving all over the place. People see the family they grew up with and formed all their bonds with like once a year if that anymore, and it’s hard to form good relationships with coworkers because so often people are coming and going.

2. Hopelessness. The basics in life are becoming more expensive and many people are struggling to accept the reality that these things will be out of reach for them.

3. Constant stimulation. I don’t know what the actual effect on the brain is from constantly being online but most people now feel a sense of anxiety when they don’t have their phone on them, as if it were like a pair of pants. The phone and the sites you can visit cause people a lot of anxiety and low self esteem when they feel like everyone else is much better than they are.

It's technology and use of electricity. The natural rhythms millions of years of evolution has installed into each human being is being thrown off. Technology is changing the way we socialize and electricity is disrupting our natural sleep cycles through light pollution and powering things that keep us awake too late.

There's no stopping it though, we either adapt or we die. I think we'll adapt to it, but it wont be for some generations.

Try to imagine the human timeline. We have advanced too quickly in the past 100 years. Evolution can't happen that quickly, so we pay the price for our own intelligence and ability to modify the natural world around us.

Adapt or die. We can never escape natural selection. Survival of the fittest until we go extinct.

These people are like heroin dealers. No, don't "get involved". That will have the exact opposite effect on your mental health. The press is a misery generating machine, and misery is addictive. Don't fucking fall for it, embrace your locality and to hell with the press.

Bro learning and teaching is all we have outside of our personal experiences. Plz don’t h8 them at least they wised up. I had an uncle in p’cola that actually bragged to me as a teen that I could never make it in his world (as a homeless drunk). At that moment I understood it s a choice and not a forced hand like most want you to believe

unrealistic expectations.
people compare themselves to snapshots that other people put online of their lives.
also, diversity. seeing more strangers than people of your kind is really depressing. although most people wont' admit this. it's more subconscious.

You know thats our land right?

Social media speeding up degeneracy at unprecedented rates and our institutions not being able to keep up.
A Quiet Place is a mediocre film but its overall premise is a great analogy for all that's happening around us. Simple, loving family ideal gets absolutely obliterated by a blitzkrieg of advanced monstrosities. Now that they've taken over, if you make one wrong sound your entire world is ruthlessly destroyed in moments.

the modern age has removed man from his natural environment and imitation pieces of that environment are being sold back to us

I've had tinnitus for years. I wonder if it has anything to do with my mental state.

Because we live in a literal dystopia.

Things were better before electricity and large scale "civilization"

Brainlets are depressed from unrealistic expectations.

Sane individuals are depressed because a lot of expectations that should be realistic are no longer fulfillable

The internet is an extrapolation of the superego. This is somewhat odd advice but for a start, learn to enjoy things that don't have a positive like/dislike ratio, or a low rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes. Subvert this newly developed superego that is dependent of the approval of others and soon you will learn to be happy with all the social pressures of modern day tossed aside.

Don't absorb the cancerous meta of the press, internet and ratings into your psyche and not only will you become happier overall, but you will also be noticed more than a guy who surfed the status quo until he died.

You’ll never find fulfillment outside of yourself brethren. The meme we have been told is to achieve freedom and that’s where we will find fulfillment. Clearly the opposite is true

What do you do when most people aren't worth meeting?

Yes. Why are Humans so depressed? Any humans care to explain?

What a coincidence that all of these bad things are happening at once, it's almost as if you're sick in the head and need to stop reading the musings of depressed incels for 7 hours a day. Detox your soul, user.

You only think that because you don't actually learn about them. People are more interconnected than you think. Everyone knows a guy who knows a guy you want to know and can help you get where you need to go. Everyone will seem uninteresting to you if you approach them uninterested.

Because kikes and shitlibs have torn down everything good and wholesome and they've left us with a void in our souls that can never be filled with consumerist bugman toys. Now they wanna tear us down as well and see us all dead. The way things are going, white men have no future. That's not hard to see.

We have only one option left. It's the most harsh and unpleasant one but we're going to have kill these people. Every last one of them. Not a single shitlib or jew can be left standing. It's us or them. It's life or death. It's traditionalism, nationalism and strength or it's unlimited niggers and piss earth. Pick one, and only one.

Never take the blackpill. The blackpill is the last pathetic gasp of the spiritually dead. Take the ironpill. Harden yourself, and prepare for what you're going to have to take part in, because no one else is gonna do it for you. You have to win or die trying.

Get angry. You should be insulted that these filthy fucking low IQ third worlders and disgusting inbred kikes, these racially impure bastards, would dare to shit all over your birthright, that they'd dare to put their grubby little brown paws all your stuff, and that they have the audacity to set foot in the lands of your fathers before you. You should be infuriated that your inferiors would dare to raise a hand against you. Get mad enough that the only thing you want is to drive these animals into the ocean and watch them drown.

And you're exactly the sort of person that I wouldn't want to meet-the sort of person that believes social interaction is solely a means of nepotism and networking. Socializing and building relationships is a platform for healing your soul first and improving your status second.

The high frequency/ low frequency electro magnetic and radio wave soup we are all being soaked in. It's been documented that over exposure to radio wave frequencies and electro magnetic radiation not only effects our emotions but it is also damaging our dna and our entire biology is being fucked with. No one can do anything about it given the necessity for wireless transfer of data and the military and intelligence agencies are utilizing it for silent war. The truth is for worst than most of newfags are aware of.

The most apparent immediate cause is the economy.
Not just GDP numbers, but choices of jobs and job locations, job security, promotions, etc. Workers have lost much of their bargaining power in the last decades and that leads to a lot of workers being treated like dirt.
Regulations didn't do much to improve the situation for most workers. Ultimately it lead to the demand for labor going even lower.
There are underlying causes on why things are like that though. It's not just the government and businesses conspiring together to profit at the expense of workers. There are cultural issues that make maintaining social stability contingent on continuously increasing economic oppression (or the constant threat of it). And that's a vicious circle. People become more and more disengaged. Society functions not because people voluntarily participate in it, but because they have to.

Maybe the programming is wearing off and there’s nothing to fill the void. There’s a soul that should be in theee but it’s been suppressed. Normies have no choice really: conform or be cast out. It’s easier to not ask questions than to follow your heart

Likewise, it was more just a message for any anons that happen to mosey on into a feels/depression discussion thread.

How convenient it is that you think that about me when you just considered "most people" to not be "worth meeting". This is not how you should go about your life interacting with people. Also actually bothering to learn and interact with others is not "nepotism". You will not be graced with a good life by sitting in a vacuum and certainly not if you don't even bother talking to anyone.

The world becomes stronger when individuals and family units become stronger. That's a universal truth, and family units have been attacked mercilessly in media and politics to the point where they are no longer considered the norm or the ideal. It's not about crying for the world. It's about crying for the destruction of the family. The world is just the casualty at the end of it all.

I never once implied that I don't speak to anyone. In fact, my entire job revolves around interacting with human beings, and quite frankly I am still extremely pessimistic

Constantly told you should be striving and making something of yourself. Meanwhile (((one percent))) has more and more control of not only economy but social spheres as well trying to shut down everyone else's everything as everything is a threat to the (((one percent))).

There's no attention seeking to it, or if there is, it's the secondary objective. Depression is actually rife in demographics where these depressed teenagers wouldn't even think it is, such as countryside, especially middle aged men from the lower social strata/underclass.

Materialism. Notice the kind of arguments atheists are pulling, people can't even conceive the existence of a superior being because they are so suffused with materialism and think there is nothing else besides matter, and this makes them lapse into either nihilism, hedonism or both.

Based and redpilled

Humans were not made to live like this

We are supposed to have a family, be free, fight adversities and praise nature for providing for us

Sounds like you make your shitty job other people's problem.

Gaia won’t die. She’s just a terrible mother. We’re acting like toddlers and have no correction as we’ve forgotten why we’re here. Family etc is fine but ultimately the sole purpose for each individual and there time here in this prison is to learn to evolve your soul to never return. The entities that run this place and write the programs we run know this. Why is the world inverted? Nobody takes the time to care for themselves and grow. Too busy.

Yep sure buddy you're really helping me to understand the value of interacting. Insults and the conclusion that friendship and family are about scratching each other's backs-you are just another piece of human trash

Tons of people live in flagging post-industrial shitholes where there's fuck all work, and even the people who live in places where there are jobs generally or something absolutely pointless with no meaning or substance to it. Community is mostly dead so we're more isolated than ever, and despite what rugged individualists believe, human beings are inherently social and unless there's something wrong with you we need a social support net.

Added to this the fact we're all debt-riddled, have no chance of getting houses, have no sense of self, no knowledge of our history, no useful practical skills, and only live for fleeting basic pleasures like getting drunk, or eating, or watching Netflix for five hours on the run.

That's before we even get on to the absolute lack of exercise and outdoor activities these days, or the screens we stare at for 14 hours a day. Liberalism and capitalism are both objectively bad for humanity, and the only people who disagree are soulless materialists who only care about having a new kitchen or what kinds of ethnic restaurants they can enjoy in this globalised world.

Is this b8. Asking for a friend

Reading books is one of the best things to do in this immediate gratification, constant stimulation world.

Convincing you you're crazy is a billion dollar (((industry)))

When did I insult you? When I came to the conclusion you're not worth befriending because of your ulterior motives for socializing?

Yes, materialism is a part of it, and so is over-socialisation which is in fact some sort of para-socialisation, as it is a substitute for it yet the world is so suffused with it.

If you can't separate your friendships from your networking that's your issue, not mine.

What does over-socialisation mean? I've seen it used before but not certain on the definition.

This. Humans don't live the way we're built to, and every year we stray further. Social media was the last nail in the coffin.

Liberalism favours the atomized individual.
Bound to no place, not held back by family, religion or a certain community.
What matters to him is economic growth, gadgets to make life more comfortable.
This is a break from what humans used to strive for, and we're suffering for it.

Long before ((( Gutenberg ))) the Chinese had used rollers to do their printing. What do you think they printed first. MONEY. Forced it into townspeople and they had to carry it out of the cities to farmers...who denied. Soldiers sent to enforce the money. Money expands and prices rise eventually creating the first boom and bust cycle (TY rothbard). Money has kept us huddled near the teet of power begging for gibs cuz muh cities expensive. Naturally the cycle continues and the fallout is evident

capitalism

Thanks for the warning, Papi.

Networking with toxic individuals bares little fruit. It's not worth increasing your standing with a network that provides you unhappiness. Networking is not a concern of mine. I've dropped plenty of toxic relationships because the utility of their being around was not worth the exhausting nature of their vanity and selfishness. More often than not surrounding yourself with pieces of crap for a status increase is not worth it.

Kaczynski's definition, that there is too much human contact and people are under the sway of social media and don't have any time to think inwardly, of themselves.

Depression was normalised on social media, it's become the norm and a good way for especially teenage girls to glean favors from peers and orbiters. It's no longer even a cry of help, how the emo subculture was 10 years ago, it's just the norm and something people have to bond over.

>'I'm also depressed and watch trite series on Netflix all day, wanna talk?'

Well if there wasn’t a parasitic ruling class or inflation the “wealth “ created could be represented as added leisure time as the measure of economic growth. After all that’s why we work yes? To enjoy our time otherwise

People have ALWAYS been depressed. What is different in 2018 is that the stigma behind mental health issues has finally been lifted. People are no longer ashamed to admit that they have problems and they are actively seeking solutions to those problems. This is a very good thing desu.

most of that shit isnt true

What's there to not be depressed about? I'm almost 30, alone, no gf, barely see any friends, haven't graduated yet but still trying, massive student debt, constant physical pain but also diminished senses so I can barely even feel anymore. And on top of that the entire world is going to shit and there's nothing I can do about it. Seems like everyone is trying their hardest to shit up the world and destroy everything nice.
For starters we could use a good ethnic cleansing in my country but that's never gonna happen.

This is so true... The problem with there are too many of us to live on land.

I completely agree with that then. According to Robin Dunbar, through the vast majority of our history we lived in groups of up to about 150, any bigger and the group would split. Even when you go further forward in history to the agricultural era, most people were living in small villages and not really moving round much. Now everyone knows thousands of people, everyone's been everywhere, social media means people know everything about your life, what you think, what you said on which day, it's so unhealthy.

Then don't network with toxic people, nobody is forcing you or even advocating for that. Disassociating with shitheads that drain your energy and give nothing back is a part of being an adult. That's the point of networking. You chase the path that you want to take and it will lead you towards other like-minded and socially compatible people. This doesn't only apply to career paths, but to character also. But if you go through life with the mindset that "most people aren't worth meeting" then you will fulfill that prophecy and you will never meet anyone worth meeting.

You used to work to provide for your family and community.
But community has vanished and you can keep the fruit of your labor if you don't have to share it with your parents or children/wife.
Humans used to have some restraint, now they're actively pushed to impulse buying to fill the hole and it does not work.

Lack of struggle.

Humans are depressed because they realized they live in the NPC's world.
