You're depressed - but it's not your fault, right?

You all deserve your fate, your sadness, your depression. If you were a real man, you would work hard and better your life no matter how much the world shits on you. Man the fuck up and go outside.
You can choose all that but you can't choose to make the normie assholes disappear.

>wanting to interact with vapid, fake, normies

Become one, if you want true happiness. There is no reason to hate normies if you are one. You're not better than them.
Asher Wilson
I only fall into the toxic image board category. I do everything else. I'm still unhappy and consider myself a failure.
Depression is gay and at least for me, I think is caused by a negative thought loop I cant seem to get a hold of. Quitting this board would help, but due to his long I've been using forums I'd probably need something else to replace this place with.
Anyone know a less toxic version of Jow Forums? Or at the very least a place populated with interesting and open minded people?
Unironically based op, I started to realize this myself recently after years of isolation and detachment. Now I do all this and feel a lot more happy, fulfilled, and look forward to the day

>exercises, socialization and work will cure depression
Jow Forums is social media. We're socializing right now. Isn't this great?
Wyatt Moore
I've tried and failed enough times with people to know that it's mostly disappointing out there. All the positivity that people claim is out there is a fantasy. It only applies if you are willing to stay in the box that others place you in.
Connor Evans
op, you have been blessed with a healthy brain chemistry, enjoy it and dont be a cunt. you can use your powers for good. god, you have no idea. i have bettered myself in every aspect of my life, im getting regularily laid, im exercising, im dieting better, im working, and guess what, those are not magical cures for depression. not for me. not for some people. it can go deeper than that. sometimes your brain hates you and wants to take everything away from you. im fighting it. trying not to let it. but its just so damn hard sometimes.
>have dopamine deficiency Just choose to have more dopamine bro
Tyler Johnson
Oh look another boomer thread who shits on robots to feel better about himself
Robert Lopez
I like entertainment too much. My brain is wired to like entertainment. How do you choose when entertainment always seems like the best choice?
Jeremiah Butler
>have a dopamine deficiency Just choose to shitpost on a toxic imageboard that fucks up your brain and reinforces all of your insecurities and bad habits bro
oh wait, that's what you're doing!
Andrew Gonzalez
Atleast I'm not a malicious faggot who gets off on making others suffer.
>chooses not to leave the house I actually try to go out often, but constantly seeing happy couples etc maked me feel worthless.
>chooses not to exercise I'm too ashamed to ever go to a gym or whatever. I try to avoid eating unhealthy shit, but it's difficult when it's pretty much the only pleasure I have.
>chooses not to socialise and take the initative Actually been trying to do that, but constantly feeling inferior to them, alienated and being afraid that they're just talking to me out of politeness doesn't really help. Not to mention that people very rarely seem to ask anything about myself and convos are often onesided.
>choosed not to break his addiction to imageboards I actually visit Jow Forums far less often than I used to.
>chooses to play video games all day Except I don't and I often feel guilty (for not being able to do anything better) while playing anything at all. I try to do semiproductive things like read etc though.
>chooses not to break bad habits
I have avoidant personality disorder. I try to challenge myself though, but it's not exactly fucking easy to change thinking patterns that you've used for years.
>chooses to watch japanese cartoons I don't.
>watching anything popular is for normies Nah.
>chooses not to take normies' advice
I've been trying.
Charles Gonzalez
I'm not going to read the shitty list of excuses you tell yourself so you don't have to escape your comfort zone. You will not improve if you don't leave it. Getiing better isn't easy or comfortable
But keep telling yourself all those reasons are worthy. Keep telling yourself how hard life is - and watch as that becomes reality as you believe it more and more.
Your worthlessness is your choice
Samuel Carter
>lmao just get out of your comfort zone If I ever worked up that level of courage I'd use it to kill myself instead
Logan James
Stfu already you fucking boomer cuck, you are just bragging about ''how superior you are because you don't have depression'' no one fucking cares reard
Nathan Morris
>already follow op's advice >still depressed
Gee whizz, what a pisser
Jordan Gonzalez
who's to say that I wasn't depressed and I'm sharing the cure? Or LARPing to make myself feel better?
Chase Nelson
I'm not saying it's not my fault.
>Getting better isn't easy or comfortable Ofcourse, but there's a pretty noticeable difference on wheter you do or don't have a support system and/or other good things in your life to balance out the hardship.
Thanks for the reply, though.
Luis Richardson
>On Jow Forums all day
>WHY WONT MY DEPRESSION GO AWAY?
Lincoln Price
Yes, because Anthony Bourdain was a total incel. So was Ernest Hemingway. Those guys never went out or dropped their WII controllers. And then, of course, there was Robin Williams who never interacted with people and watched nothing but anime. Did you know that Kurt Cobain LOVED toxic image boards like Jow Forums?
Gavin Bailey
>leave the house and socialize Where, what do i do? I have no interests
Fuck. I could have written that. Btw. I do push ups and sit ups and etc. I just don't like seeing Chad at the gym. It makes me feel insecure. It's hard for me to socialize with stranger. How do I even make Friends? If I join a group people will ask why I'm there alone and don't know anybody. And I can't keep a conversation going.
>chooses not to socialise and take the initiative You say that like it's not incredibly painful for me to do
Hudson Perry
I can't offer any lifechanging advice, but I'd really advise to see a psychologist. I'm sure you've considered it, but I'd really recommend to try it out. From what I've read, it's the best solution for people like us.
You're not a lost cause.
>I do push ups and sit ups
Huge plus already, imo (as I struggle with finding motivation and willpower for it myself); keep it up, mate.
Great image, by the way.
Jeremiah Foster
It's like 90% of the bots here. No big deal
Aiden Miller
If this somehow isn't bait, you really don't understand how depression works
Leo Jackson
I'm depressed cause any time I do something that makes me even slightly happy or proud of myself my mom says something to completely devalue it and take it away I'm depressed cause I've realized that I'm good enough to be a friend but not good enough to be a boyfriend I'm depressed cause I've got such bad anxiety that I'm convinced all of my friends simply put up with me cause they'd feel guilty for probably contributing to my list of reasons to kill myself
