I masterbate a lot. Home, work, parks, public restrooms, etc...

I hear you loud and clear bro.

Something has to change

I think what gets me down the most with being a part of this community is we look for any inkling of something that might force a change...i.e date setting, nibiru, or dozens of other conspiracies.

I believe nothing will change unless we make it happen. But they've rigged the game so well that's not even plausible any longer...

That weighs me down too.

I see a lot of potential, but people's minds and hearts are elsewhere and not focused on what's really happening to them.

I'd like to think that if there was some true 'way' or cause that would guarantee that the world would be better for future generations, that I would join. But every movement is corrupted and every group is comprised somehow.

Where is our justice? Who are the heroes? When will true change occur?

Exactly! I always ask that question: "where have all our heroes gone"?!? We have none! Everything is corrupted, we had a May Day march here in Portland today and it was canceled because the anarchists took it over and they shut it down.

The way society is makes me want to be less and less a part of it. Where's everyone's awareness? I feel like everyone is taking crazy pills, and us select few are immune to them...

I just want what's right, fair and just!!

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.”

Yep, and now their trying to turn us all into women!

Speak for yourself mate, I'm not wasting mine (except maybe the time I spend on reddit). It's an unfortunate reality though that there are many boring jobs to fill so a lot of people are going to not have another choice but to do a job they hate to pay to susurration themselves, family and hopefully finance something to do in their little spare time.

What do you got going on?

Job I enjoy that I can do from anywhere and part time if I need to and still make enough money to be okay. Nothing fancy.

Keep on keeping on!

Oh, the ol why am I killing myself working making someone else rich conundrum. Just wait til you hit about 40 when you realize your like a broke horse and you basically just give up and just go through the motions in a zombie like state waiting for death to show his face.

Drink a lot of alcohol, smoke weed, dabble in drugs when opportunities present themselves and sit back and enjoy the ride.

I'd go for shrooms or lsd as far as drugs but that's about it.

I really dislike the name of this condition but it does sound vaguely similar to what you're describing…in a societal/global sense

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

I feel like the whole new "learned helplessness" crazy is just another way to blame away a huge societal issue.

"Oh, no it isn't that everything is fucking terrible, it's just that they're all literally insanely self-pitying!"

Oh, I don't know…I think the studies show that the effect is real. It's not saying bad shit isn't happening…I just think it would tend to affect those that are "awake" more than others.

I mean, really…what hope is there for us to really affect change short of revolution? That kind of knowledge can really affect those that are aware just how shitty and contrived things really are.

I'm trying to figure this out myself

I'm into distance running to blackmetal when I feel about to burst.

36 I think trying to figure this shit out. I used to be a lot more motivated 8 years ago but now I see all the bullshit in front of me and am stepping high. I try to get my adrenaline cranked up on weekends but they just fly fucking by and I feel a little wore out and miss it bad on Mondays. Hell Mondays at 2AM I lay awake dreading what I gotta do. It really isn't the job but it's looking down at it from 30,000 feet on my back in my bed that is crushing.

It is because we are all woke as fuck but still cornered somehow looking for a way over the wet paint. I might just gotta stomp through that shit and look back way on down the road.

I often wonder if I can change the whole spectrum of our collective feelings just by making that brave jump for us all/myself.

If I didn't have an 9 year old it would be a lot easier of decision for sure.

There is power in the blood of the lamb...jk don't go that route lol.

That weighs me down too.

Where is our justice? Who are the heroes? When will true change occur?

I feel this so strongly. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, but like you, I don't feel like brain chemistry is the source of my anguish. I'm in my mid twenties & it makes me physically ill imagining continuing my life slaving away. The idea of trading time for money is something I am not interested in. When I mention this to people I know, they look at me like I'm crazy. Even after I explain how time is essentially priceless because you only get so much of it.

Although the truth is soul crushing, and all hope seems lost...

WHAT A FUCKING TIME TO BE ALIVE! What other time in history have this many people been woke as fuck, utilizing a global instant communication tool to spread the truth to the uninformed masses?!

Keep that shit positive, son!

Thank you for that little spark. 💥 I needed it.

I didn't really hit my stride until my 30s. I quit drinking, got a healthy running habit, and matured professionally where I was doing more or less what I liked, and had command of my skillsets.
