>don't be a pussy lol
That's correct, though. Men have only gotten depressed in recent history because they've gotten soft.

>>13896356
Fuck why’d the first response have to be so based, since you didn’t fall for my bait we can be frens.

Based

is this loss

>>13896356
Men have been depressed all throughout history. Only today is more noticeable. People back then thought it was caused by demons or some nonsense. Now we know why.

>>13896336
>fuck women
Fuck yeah

>Implying depression isn’t caused by demons

People had suffering, but only now do they have depression en-masse

>>13896369
I guess. How are you anon?

>>13896386
Yeah, thanks to a pseudoscientific ''research'' that gives the patients an excuse to not look in the right direction, and gives the lazy quacks an excuse to abusively sell large amount of an ineffective product.

Depression is a malady of the will. That's what it was and that's what it always will be.

>>13896356
Not true at all. Depression has existed throughout history. And this toxic masculine attitude is the reason why men are ashamed to get help.

Careful now hohol

I'm of the opinion that mass depression is a thing now because western society has become incompatible with the human condition rather than a reflection of the individuals themselves. The NEETs have a point, and I dont think people were meant to live as wage slaves; however, the wage slaves are also correct in saying that one must if they are to survive in today's society. I think that this realization, on whatever level of conciousness, is the cause of depression.

It's not depression, it's ennui. Very few people in this world have the strength to live for themselves, myself included. And that doesn't mean mindless hedonism. It means living by your own hand, for yourself, creating and destroying, learning and growing.

I am guilty of this too. It's not like I have it figured out. The only thing I really do is work. At work I spend my time doing tasks that I don't care about to achieve goals that don't affect me. I trade my time for money. I trade that money for a place to hide away when I am not working - in a location and configuration convenient for my getting to work. So really I work in order to continue working.

Imagine a rational person counting the minutes left in their 8 hour shift, 5 days a week. I am literally wishing for my time to disappear from me as quickly as possible so that I can be released to my 'actual' life. Every day I try to convince someone else to let me continue giving them my time (the sole measure of my limited precious existence) - I am a vampire's thrall.

How COULD a man feel well while doing this?

>>13896356
I blame porn addictions. Most men jack away all their energy and motivation that should be put towards finding a mate, and then wonder why they feel so empty.

>>13900022
Nicely put, anon. I think many people would say something similar, and that's more or less what I was trying to get at in >>13900010

Neither NEETs or Wage slaves have the right idea you fucking imbecile, NEETs are worthless and wage slave cunts flip my burgers, Entering STEM and reading Literature and Philosophy on the side is the fucking way to go. Fuck Everyone

>>13896356
>because they've gotten soft
your'e not wrong but it's not financially sound to pursue the old masculine arts. working with hands is a dead practice

>>13896336
If you're genuinely suicidal, than why are you here. The genuine way to live is to kill yourself if that's how you actually feel. The pathetic flailing we call often dub "depression" is some kind of attention seeking behavior.

>>13900595
That's gotta be the most cringe use of that format I've ever seen

>>13896356
Yes, but why have they gotten soft? Society.

>>13900656
But dude we live in a fucking society
