Anyone else just doesn't care about anything anymore? Anyone else just bored and passionless?

How do I stop being like this. I used to be different

Eliminate the numbing time wasting shit, the resulting boredom eventually boils over into doing something productive

the negative symptoms of schizophrenia are a real bummer. catatonia, anhedonia, apathy...

Do other things than lurking on pol.

I used to have a drive to do things, but not anymore. I'll admit I'm lazy - but I have a job and I have a life. I used to engage with people on here about deeper and philosophical topics, but not anymore. This is probably my first substantial post that I've made that isn't a purposeful shitpost.

I used to occupy myself with learning about philsophy, engaging in philosophical debates about God vs aetheism. I used to study up on history and really read up on politics. I used to read and write about politics and history and watch videos about it. I can't even force myself to do that anymore even though I still kind of want to. I really don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not depressed I don't think. I know what that's like.
I do drink a lot more than I used it

I also started drinking a lot more and similarly have gradually turned into more of a fat lazy bum

>I do drink a lot more than I used it
well that's probably mostly it then. dulling your mind, entering a stupor instead of being sober and sharp and bored, inspiring you to engage your mind more rather than disengage with alcohol. i'm not criticizing you, i do the same thing but smoking. the way i think of it is, these substances "dissolve" our perspectives, views, etc and so when we're constantly sober and deliberately remaining so, our perspective and views get solidified with confidence, with the confidence that comes from never having your pov dissolved, like a lot of people who have never used drugs or stop using, so there is more coherence in our thoughts, you can systems build in your mind, whereas (in my personal experience) getting altered by a drug dissolves any tight perspectives, casts tremendous doubt into the ego structure, and leaves you open minded, able to see all perspectives but not personally identifying with any of them, which might sound like some sort of graeco-buddhistic mental ideal, to abide in a conceptually loose perspectiveless egoless state, but it really zaps your life zest and enthusiasm for, you know, living. it's all well and good to withdraw into a stone buddha, but how will you spent the rest of your life? i struggle with this same issue, by dissolving all my perspectives so much, i have none, nor any permanent personality construct, so organizing my life as if i am one ego entity passing through time while remaining myself just doesn't make much sense for me, and i can't really commit to anything fully, and i seem to be always sort of re-ingesting myself, especially whenever i make the mistake of stating an opinion or view or whatever, it's as if it immediately becomes undone to show me the foolishness of clinging to anything.

that's where you and I differ. I know I as an entity exist, and I have beliefs and convictions. It's just I'm not as passionate about professing them as I used to be.

Yep. Same situation here, but I know what's causing it. Many years of abusing alcohol and other drugs fucked with my brain. Recently got diagnosed with a heart condition so I'm trying to quit the booze which results in being so apathetic that I can't even enjoy my hobbies anymore. But I take solace in the fact that this depression is just temporary while my brain adjusts to not being drunk or high 24/7.
