>what makes life worth living?
I don't know of anything that motivates me. The exception is my two close friends. Spending time with them is probably what I value most.

Almost all my life the things that have pushed me along the way has been negative forces rather than positive ones. Recently I resisted that anxiety and I've since been free from them, but now there is nothing that drives me at all. The only thing that makes me consider moving forward is when I consider letting that anxiety take over me again -- specifically the worry that if I stay still I will soon grow distant to my friends because they will continue to develop and have new experiences to share while I don't. This is something I'm concerned about, but I'm not all that willing to be controlled by my anxiety again.

Of course, what I really should be doing is simply to get professional help for my depression. The problem is that it's atypical and I'm looking more for a philosophical solution rather than practical help, because every time I've started to get going with things I've quickly grown tired of it and become disillusioned with whatever it is that occupied my mind and hid the underlying draining reality of my (our) existence. I did try to make a doctors appointment but I read online that you should only go there (local clinic) if there's an emergency and otherwise make an appointment beforehand. So I tried to call and an automated message told me they weren't able to take calls. So I tried making an appointment through their online system and it said there weren't any available times for an appointment. Effectively there's no way for me to get help without breaking the rules. Things like this get me down and make me give up entirely. Sorry for the blogpost. I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say.

I can sympathize with the bureacratic hell these automated systems can feel like. I was without a phone for and getting access to my banking info without the verification of my old # was difficult. Sometimes it seems like gatekeeping, so I feel you there. Is the clinic far? You could try making an appointment in person, maybe see if there's an option for a walk-in.

Existential dread and anxiety(I still have a bad case of social anxiety) used to be major sources for my depression I found solace for the dread in existential philosophy and optimistic nihilism, there's moral idealism in it and an intrinsic pursuit of fulfillment that has helped me. Make the most of nothing until it's everything, then in its time let it go, and don't see it as loss for it was never anything anyways It's almost Buddhist, and I like that. That being said, I'm a philosophical novice, so take what I'm saying while knowing that.

>Almost all my life the things that have pushed me along the way has been negative forces rather than positive ones.

Why is that anon? I've felt similar in the past and those things that were out of my control I realize now really weren't. I used to abuse substances because I was anxious and couldn't get that gratification from people, so I sought it in isolation, of course, these things affirm anti-social habits, so it spiraled ever downward as I felt more anxious until it seemed uncontrollable even though it still was. The trope "the inner locus of control" worked out in that scenario and I slowly started taking agency back from chaos and correcting things. There are very few actions where it's beneficial to be motivated by fear. I don't want to speak for your experience though, you could very well have some serious unpreventable shit going on.

Keep those friends and don't compare your life to there's, that'll only build walls.

If you like film and reading is it perhaps because you like stories? Maybe you want to tell your own, or maybe you'd like to study the greats ones. There's plenty to be passionate about there and expanding your knowledge is hardly unproductive. Who knows, maybe you'll take up writing, or become academic. I don't know what you want to do, but you get my point, interests breed passion and passion comes prior to wanting to contribute to the subject you like.

I'd give you pragmatic advice for the depression, like exercise, socialize, ssris, but I'm sure you've been told, or googled solutions like that. Instead, I'll leave you with this; meaning is a man-made concept, so a lack of meaning is as well, it'd be foolish to waste any day obsessing over meaningless things. Best of luck anon.

Thanks anon. Yes I should probably make my way to the clinic in person and ask for an appointment, hopefully it will start to get things moving.

>Why is that anon?
I am (or rather can be) a very sensitive person and I've always had strong feelings of anxiety or guilt in regards to anything and everything. I can't say exactly why this is the case, but it has been what made me continue to do things and not just sit still (fear of disappointing my parents, fear of hurting other people, fear of looking like an idiot, fear of being alone or not fitting in etc.). When I say negative forces I don't mean real world events as you perhaps interpreted it, but in how my decisions were framed. Meaning I thought "I should" a lot more than I thought "I want" or "I will". And after being in that mad confusion of fear and anxiety (as well as some ignorant joy) which has led me to where I am (not necessarily a bad place), I just got sick of it and stood up for myself. But now I've realized that since I've never developed any goals or dreams along the way that I'm not sure if I have ever really wanted anything. So I'm not in a place of misery right now, and I feel more confident in myself in a way. I don't think I need the validation of strangers at all. But this has had the side-effect of apathy. I want to dream and have passions, but I have never cultivated it. There's also a huge mess of resentment and frustrations that I haven't been able to solve when it comes to both myself and other people in general which can at any moment invade and lock me down temporarily in apathy or hatred during one of these crucial moments of me trying to start some positive endeavour.

I'll reach out for professional help because I realize that no amount of talk and introspection will be able to pull me out of this hole, at least not for a long time. Even so, I appreciate your thoughts and advice. During this "apathetic era" I've started to dive more into films and reading without guilt and have found some real beauty and sense of belonging/understanding which has started to deepen my love of these mediums, and you're abslutely right that they can have value to me and may in time become passions and sources of inspiration. I'm glad I had the opportunity to talk about this, thanks again.

I deal with that problem of "I should" too. I was trying to get that point across with some examples of problems that stem from it. I think the riddle of my life has been that while I know I rationally shouldn't care about what strangers think, I still do. It's the way my neurons have been weaved I suppose and I just need to use strategies to deal with it. There are some things other people can do that my anxiety makes very difficult for me and I need to either compromise or work through it.

I think you have to mindfully rebel against the apathy. Keep reminding yourself that while some aspiration may seem pointless on a cosmic scale, it does have a point and that is that it's good for your mind and your life and for those around you. There's a beautiful paradox there. It's a trite truism, but "it's all about perspective" really is the essence of happiness and success. Miserable people see hardship as a plight, whereas the wise see it as a challenge. There are so many destitute people
out there blaming faceless organizations.

As for the resentment, I remind myself that I won't be petty and misplace my anger, that would be giving up control. I'll allow myself anger over things I fundamentally disagree with, but minor slights, ignorant people and opposing personality types that annoy me I try to let go of.

Passion stems from wanting to solve a problem, or being curious about a subject. Try to ask what those two things could be for you. What serious problems do you have in the world and what things have moved you?

Sorry if I'm coming off as preachy, these are things I need to affirm in myself as well.

And lastly, I kind of get seeing movies as a waste of time, but books? You're only increasing your knowledge, vocab, and perspectives on the human experience and our cultures. I can't think of a better downtime activity, I mean, most people are guiltlessly playing video games, or watching tv every day.

I don't know what I am, and knowing it and accepting myself is maybe my only actual real dream. But for participation sake, I divided what I could aim for in life in 2 possible general ways of being:
The way of nature
>own various businesses
>dominate and push out competitors, essentially ruling over a county and having great influence over it
>be an erudite, have a couple of graduations and a few more languages under my belt, intellectual mog
>age gracefully, nurturing an aesthetic of restrained power and self reliance
>make men crave my approval and respect, deny women my love
>make enough money to get away from everyone
The way of Grace
>get involved in charity
>own a plot of land and build a self sufficient homestead in it
>live a simple life, with minimal access to technology
>spend my days in nature, wood working and taking care of my livestock
>minimal reading, as to not be an escapist or indulge in the worship of knowledge aka vanity

But if you consider the idea that for every year that pases your chances of finding happiness increases by simple probability then increasing your lifespan will increase your chance of finding happiness in accordance, in fact, if inmortality is achieved the chance of happiness will tend to infinite and therefore we would have teached both inmortality and happiness

My dream is recursive mutual improvement in human relationships: a psycho-social singularity.
Humanity is close to attaining this, the means to do so are the internet, which is a hyper-accellerator of relational change.
The current social madness is due to fundamental conflicts that have been brought to the surface and intensified as elements that are resistive to social and cultural change (rightisms) try their hardest to slow accelerating change to retain political power. Boomer time is running out.

i'm glad im not a consoomer and dont need much (and can resort to petty store theft if it gets too rough), yet i'm not ascended enough to get lost in taiga like the old-believers.
i think there must be just enough convenience to not waste your time on repetetive laborous tasks, like growing a whole farm to feed yourself or hand-washing all your clothes all the time, yet not too much so you don't drain yourself working to provide for the Convenience - paying all the subscriptions and buying stuff.

modernity provides just enough comfort to minimize unneeded effort, but you be thoughtful to not fall a slave to commodity.

This, but the way I would cure this sickness would be through a destruction of society itself. It’s too late for society to recover on it’s own; it has to be pjicked up by the roots.
First I would take down the internet, forcing people to make connections with their neighbors rather than the other side of a screen. Next, kill the wealthiest of the world and government leaders, putting justice back where it belongs: in the hands of the people.

Of course this is a pipedream, as I would only create a power gap that would eventually be filled by others. Even if I had some absolute power, it’d dissipate unless I were also immortal.

I want to make someone happy. I want to work hard for someone else's sake and give myself to them. I want to know someone else intimately, know the small things that make them happy, know what they care about and what they wish for. I want to be able to console someone when something doesn't work out. I want to know someone more than anyone else knows them and for them to know me in the same way.
Is this dream overly romanticized and unrealistic? It is very likely - after all I've never been close with anyone before and I'm a KHV loser with no chance anyway. At least it's something to imagine in between slaving away at my wagecuck job and clicking through the same 4 websites over to pass the time.
