Healthy diet, a little exercise, staying active and avoiding “boredom”. All that should help you to love yourself and surroundings. It’s not so much a light switch as it’s a house building project.

Hope you have good friends or will make some soon and are free of any chemical imbalances that can really hinder these efforts

N o .

Use what you learn.
Don’t be solitary for too long a period.
Find friends who care what you have to say.
Also, why isn’t a good story good to read for one’s own self? You share in a meal as you would share a book, or not.

Listening to that Epicurus video is a crash course I like to send people. How does one turn their life around? I don’t know the particulars of all your lives of course, so I have in recent days dropped this same general advice.
You must start with yourself. When I was a kid I didn’t want to love myself. I felt I would turn out vain and I hated those kinds of people. Like that Holden line about phonies. It’s stupid and childish and I needed guidance.
Start with caring for yourself. Eat right, sleep right and get fit. Dream of your future, cultivate friends, as many as you can. Grow your confidence. It’s never too late, you’re never too ugly or whatever. (Though stop being a creep)

The vid sums up Epicureanism. Nicely.

Well here’s some podcasts giving decent introductory backgrounds on them

1. Stop believing in “cringe”
2. Don’t be such a tryhard

It is true that not even beautiful people have it made. Not even money brings complete happiness. Geez.

Of no concern. All that concerns me is putting it off.

Clearly I’m smarter than you.

Natural sciences needs a philosophy?

No. Our minds die, rot, dry up. No synapses, no thoughts, no more you, whatever “you” were.

I was in a similar state many years ago. Read some passages from a Dalai Lama book, but it started to get repetitive and simplistic. I got more out of the Tao of Pooh.
Discovered Epicurus, faced atheism and took gradually took my life’s direction in hand.

You might find a thing or two from this book, I donno. But I think he’s probably just a quack. I know Chopra is

You’re not getting this whole philosophy thing, dear.

At least try to think things over. Try on a different belief pattern. Go away from the screen awhile and have a thought experiment

In nihilism one must pick their purpose.
