He is reflecting himself as a doomer, as he is expressing himself philosophically by creating these thoughts on theories. Remember Arts and Philosophizing may help the face of dooooooom....
As a recently 22-year-old young person, I’ve essentially given up on ever owning my own home, getting married, or starting a family because I can’t see how I could afford it without having to spend my entire life working 90 hours a week into the ground.
Me too. I don't see a possibility of me ever being able to afford a $250k house (average price in my city), plus having kids and paying for their stuff, plus having a car or two. I won't even try. I'll push alone as far as I can and when I can't do it anymore I guess I'll just become homeless and die on the street.
@@RareTechniques u really don't get what he says.. he means what the internet says about the doomer meme even tho the actual meaning of the doomer meme is more depressing than funny
lilbuttcheese next upcoming rapper Man I don't know why I cannot laugh at these doomer memes and is like they they are really downers, makes me feel bad for people who will probably never get out of that state and will die that way, I mean people can use it as a meme but sometimes they are just too exact to what some people is going through, I don't know man just saying
40 year old Doomer here. I can't believe how well this described my life up until now. I think it was harder for me since I grew up split up between the time where the internet didn't exist and the current time. I was raised to believe that you could be anything you wanted if your were optimistic and worked hard for it. I was blind to the reality of life well up my late teens. And that is when truth hit me harder than a freight train. Depression, denial, anxiety and suicidal thoughts overtook my life for a couple of decades. Today, I just accepted life for what it is, even if it's meaningless. Acceptance that things sometimes won't be how you wish them to be, or how you were told they would be, is key to finding your peace. I dedicate my very simple life to my dog, my art and my hobbies, with work in between to sustain it. I have no one in my life, but I somehow managed to find happiness within myself.
I’m 25 and have found enjoying the small things & not dwelling on what makes me unhappy is a great way not to be depressed. It can sometimes be very easy to dwell though, but you have to learn to block it out lol. Glad your doing better in life my friend!
Me too 40 Year old Boomer / Coomer, I’m a professional health care worker, I own a property worth a million dollar, my empty vacation home in Miami and live in a studio in NYC, I have it all but no woman or kids, I gave up and just gave in to a lonely life enjoy my hobbies by myself.
You aren't the only one living like this I'm exactly the same, minus the dog but I plan on getting one soon! Simple, quiet life is best, you can't hope for much more than that 🙏
@free men ? I think you came here for a different conversation than the one the rest of us are having, both in the video and the comments. Unless struggling with depression is also somehow racist now.
I’ve been a doomer since I was 17, currently 32. I’ve done some things, met some people and had some relationships I never thought I would. Everything that happens in my life feels like it happened completely through chance. Nowadays when I wake up and go to work, then go to the gym, I have this sense of watching myself doing these things and I’m constantly asking myself, why and how are you doing this, because not only would I rather be sleeping or smoking, I have spent the vast majority of my life sleeping and doing nothing but gaming. The question every doomer seeks to answer is how to stay motivated and live a ‘normal’ life, and after 15 years of this I can honestly say, I still do not have the slightest clue
Try to find what inspires you or you’re curious about. What lights you up when you hear about it or see it? Your interests, whether it’s music, cooking, or quantum physics, can snowball into giving existence meaning. Observe and make note of what those things are and chase them. Even if trivial, they could make you feel happy and fulfilled for some moments
So sorry. As depressing as it can be sometimes I believe in toughing it out, we just don’t know what’s on the other side... maybe there’s greater reward for roughing it out in this life.
I'm sorry to hear that man...I too lost my best friend to suicide a month ago. Life has a different meaning to me now, not in a good way either. And I was a doomer before I lost him.
For me I'm tryna get stronger than ever before, richer than ever before, more smart and beautiful. So all of them will be maggots quivering before the lord
@@aricin you need more than that though. A partner probably. I thought those things would solve it for me. I spent 2 years on accruing a good amount of money and setting up a great financial future and staying on top of working out. I’m still lonely AF.
@@aricin yeah that's really the key. Staying in shape and financial security are important, don't get me wrong, but what you have now is the biggest thing to have that I wish I did. Good for you.
"When you don't want to live but don't want to commit suicide" oof... feeling this way makes me not be careful anymore. Not worrying about possibly being an accident. Not getting that mole checked. Having an "if I die, I die" attitude. For people who feel this way, we've already accepted death for what it is and don't fear it. The only thing we really fear is how we die and hope it's quick and easy.
Don't you fear being the last human being on earth ? Don't you fear being mute, deaf and blind all at once ? Don't you fear being a vegetable ? Don't you fear getting raped by well hung males ?
Same for me. I basically don't fear death anymore since my mentality is that I can't care/worry anymore after I'm dead. In your words "If I die, I die" so what about it. Just marks an end to the struggels of life. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy life while you are able to and that's mainly why suicide is out of the question. My only worry is how my death could affect those around me as I don't wanna make them sad/depressed just because I moved on from life.
I'm only 17 and I already have that "if I die, I die" attitude, I already accepted my fate, I know that I'm probably not going to make it in life so I just tell myself that while my life may be miserable in certain aspects, I'm still going to try to live the best life I could and live it to it's fullest till it's over
I always imagined the doomer meme would speak with an Eastern European/Russian accent, but maybe that's just because soviet-era architecture is sometimes used as a backdrop in such memes.
Yep. Just need a proper pic, few key words and then: conversation. One of the most powerful art features. The technique has no more value. We need more and more. That's why memes can replace traditional expressions.
Many years ago I got out of the military at age 23. I was emotionally damaged and lost. Turned to cannabis, alcohol, and other drugs for coping. Worked shitty jobs because I wasn't stable or clean enough to be employed in high paying fields despite my talents and skills. I was even married and had a house... Certain types of people will go through a doomer phase at some point so never assume you are alone. It can destroy you, but even more important, it can make you stronger than ever before.
@@VYMQGSOH I think I get your point but I interpreted what Lone Wolf said as feeling every emotion, not just happiness, instead of every experience. Your first comment made me think you were talking about emotions but the beginning doesn’t make sense to me because you can’t appreciate the best of times without the worst of times to compare it with. If you’re always having a good time then what makes any moment special or the best? Back to your second comment, sure we all can’t experience both extremities of every curveball life throws at us but there can definitely be parallels in emotions even if our experiences to get those feelings are different. It’s all just chemicals in our head saying that this is great, this is not great, and everything in between. We can all feel different variations of emotions that make life interesting, whether they were good or bad. To me, that’s everything
@@VYMQGSOH Yes it is impossible to experience the exact same scenario as everyone else, I’m just arguing that people can still provoke the same emotions through different experiences. Like in your scenario, if I’ve never had a father to mourn for because I grew up without him, then yeah I won’t have the same emotions as someone who did grew up with their dad and is upset about his death. But there could be someone else in their life that was a father-figure to them that would provoke the same emotion of loss if they were to lose them. That’s why we can still empathize with other people even if we haven’t been in their shoes. We can still understand their pain. Yes we’re all different and we all had different hardships in life, but emotions let us understand each other so that we’re more likely to bond with other people and survive as a group. I think you see emotions and experiences as a one way street but I see a lot of overlap with each other. If you think emotions from a biological standpoint, it’s just the amount of dopamine or other mixtures of chemicals released that make us feel a certain emotion in any moment. If I feel really happy because I got a promotion, I could provoke the same amount of chemicals to be released on my wedding day, it really depends on your priorities. But with that said, what are the chances that we provoke the same amount of chemicals that make us feel really happy as someone else who was also really happy from a different experience? It could happen, especially when we try to compare every single emotion we experience in life. The happiness I felt from getting my first house could be the same emotions someone else felt when they got their first puppy. That’s the main thing I don’t agree with your argument because it’s based on the fact that if every event happened this way, then you would get this type of emotion, when I think emotions are more universal than that. That’s why people can understand each other and empathize through music, through different languages, and through different experiences even if we haven’t walked in each other’s shoes. We may not experience everything, but we can perhaps feel everything.
@@lapietraoxford2350 There's nothing in the future but endless cycle of happiness and sadness that it gets too boring that we either say there's nothing left in this world or the life ahead us doesn't matter anymore...
For me, it's the complete detachment and isolation of adult life in modern society that gets to me the most. When you're in school you're surrounded by people your age with virtually no responsibilities. Once you hit adult life in the real world, it's like life does a complete 180. All you do is have responsibilities, you no longer make new friends, you just have coworkers, and the ones you do have will slowly but surely fade away as time goes by, either through them having kids, moving, or just eventually losing touch. I feel like there's literally no way to create and maintain human relationships with the way society is set up, you just work all day, and have no real outlet to meet new people. Sure, there are dating apps, but those are legitimately depressing lol. It's almost impossible to even get a conversation started on those, let alone cultivate a relationship with someone.
I had this exact thought. It's near impossible to meet new people once you hit a certain age in American society. And don't give me that join a book club talk. You work all the time.
The goth kids were wrong then in the 90s. The doomer ideology is wrong now. We have control of our destiny and happiness, if atleast in the slightest bit.
Rainbow Lion We have control over our destiny and happiness but if you grow cannabis in your house then the police will come knocking. Give me a fucking break dude.
Scrimp here’s your logic (sorry for any typos or grammar errors). In life there is just so many things in life to over complicate. You can always grub in the negative news and then the next day or next week some new negative news will be there. You can waste your life in social media and then there will always something new in social media to keep you at it. We have to live life in moderation. Understand that it’s not good to set your life on something thats “virtual” and doesn’t represent your own life. If your too busy watching the news, playing video games, and on social media to the point where it impacts you from experiencing your life to the fullest then what’s the point?? Life is too short. Your life is where your energy goes. Don’t stress about the certain insecurities and expectations you have from people. We all are not perfect. If you put your energy in making yourself feel worthless or inadequate then of course that becomes your reality. Our rights and wrongs are subjective. We choose to believe what we want to believe. The light and sound spectrum is an infinite scale and we only feel a part of that spectrum. No matter how far we get making technology there will always be something that in the spectrum are yet to find. That’s the basic of science (not to discourage advancing humanity tho). The point is since the things we see, feel, taste, hear, smell ranges only from “part” of the light and sound spectrum then we are never certain that our perception will ever be quintessential to understand our world. Therefore we are only left off to believe what we are given at. That being said, we need to believe in our lives being positive for what it is. You can keep looking at yourself for the countless ways of negative things about you or the positive things about you (vice versa) like in the light and sound spectrum. But hopefully we should know that our mindset on how we see ourselves, everyone, and the world is just a part of what we take from the positive/negative things in our lives. So hopefully we do our best in letting our mindset be more influenced by the good compared to the bad since that is what’s going to take a person far in life. I realized to be one at peace with yourself you must first know the “Ying-Yang” of your situation. Understand that good and bad balances each other. If there was no bad then there would be no good. Bad memories exist to make us realize what is our good memories (vice versa). Then from there know to let your life flow from there and to not fight the “current” of life. There will always be a rock (challenges) in our lives but understand to let the waters let you flow around that rock. Spend too much time trying to fight that rock or think too much of that rock then you will be stuck there more. It goes to the saying, spend too much time victimizing yourself for what situation you have then you’ll ultimately feel trapped and prevented from moving on or bettering yourself. You can know so much of life where you don’t actually experience it. Being so intelligent in how the world works doesn’t compare to the wisdom for experiencing the world.
As a 26 year old lonely doomer, it’s nice to know there are people out there who relate and feel the same way as you do, how ever distant they may seem.
24. The realization is slowly setting in. However, I can say that the statement of coping through expression, the arts, philosophy, is really the only way to prove to the world that you exist, no matter how insignificant it may seem. In society you are forever bound by rules and your own body, but the greatest gift is your mind, because in your mind you are truly free.
What a mirror this video is. After years of struggling with deep depression, I didn't think my perception could get any darker, and then 2 months ago my best friend took her life. It has caused a shift within me and my thinking. Beautifully articulated, this video has shed a little more light on understanding the chaos that is my own mindscape. I'm just a Doomer struggling to become a Bloomer. Thank you for this video.
Same man. I haven’t been through half of what you have probably, but ig we’re both finding hope in it. I’m in high school but I’m fucking going through it for years. I don’t see a way out, I have mad friends and people around but I always feel alone. Lmk if u ever want to talk or something
In fact in almost every rich country population is decreasing; USA, France and some others have a growth only bc of immigration. In 100 years people with western or white roots will be the half. More and more asians and africans on the Earth.
I am the typical young adult, milllenial of 90s. I am 28 and still struggling to get a job. No matter how hard I try, I am crushed in this competitive world and ruthlessness of it, especially in corporate. If you want to make it big, you have to be exceptionally talented or skilled at something. Problem arises when you don't know what that is. I have tried different things like creative writing, graphic designing, everything turned out to be just average. 90s were the golden years for me, little did I know that we would suffer like this as adults. All the technological advancements were supposed to make life simpler, but I saw young people becoming slaves. Moreover, the slave mentality that suggests working 8 to 9 hours a day without taking leaves, is purported as " commitment ". Count me in, Doomers. I was a Bloomer though all throughout childhood. I saw the positive in everything before I became like you. Every doomer was once a bloomer.
I don't think kids are born bloomers, they just know little about the dark side of society. But I do believe boomers in their 20s or mid 30s will eventually become bloomer.
You’re a man. Get a trade, get a skill and make your goal to make other people’s lives better by being an expert in something they need. You will NEVER feel existentially ok in your soul working for soulless corporations

@@ubermenschzarathustra862 Nah mate, I am fully aware of the worlds problems but I decided to go against them. Do my part to make society work better. That gives a lot of hope and also happiness, seeing that things can improve (and already are in some ways) if all us doomers would just think the same.
I've switched from doomer to bloomer many times in my life. Don't believe that you are safe once you've escaped the doomer life, it can always pull you back...

I believe that's exactly what Nietzsche said about using suffering to improve oneself. The lack of great suffering in modern life is what makes us soft, fragile humans, with no greater purpose or goal to strive for
I am a 25 year old doomer and loner. Your first sentence describes my thoughts. I despair of humanity because I think humans are troublesome and ignorance. I decided to withdraw from society because all these things are meaningless
Too tired to live, too scared to die. Edit: Been doing better guys, thanks for your well wishes.

so true, but the more i realised how important ignorance is in filtering out the vice of the world, the less depressed you become...i unironically transcended this phase to reach at a point at which vice didnt affect me by accepting this essentialist misanthropic notion of reality, still moving with some spark of hope somewhere within me...and here i am again having burned out that phase to enter a new phase, my post existentialist depressed nihilistic era accepting of reality with no interest in doing anything about it because my role in life in the grand scheme of things is utterly insignificant cause free will simply doesnt exist
Instead of 'Hours of meaningless youtube watching' - try doing something constructive, with an eye toward your future. It may help you feel less affinity with 'gloom boy'.
it feels like im just came to a cancer support group, told my story that noone really understand outside and then heard this words of support, which was really sincere for the first time. thank you.
When I told my parents that life was meaningless, they reacted as though as I was mental or something. We are pretty much in the same boat. Don't give up and I hope you will find your own meaning in life.
Life becomes meaningless when you understand that you are a concious being. We all miss the moments that we would just exist without overthinking everything
Well life doesnt have any meaning. It give it to us and we have to make a meaning and enjoy every moment, i know its hard and i still havent find it. But i guess
How can you say life is meaningless when you understand you are a conscious being? Just the fact you understand this should give you all the hype you need! You can be and do anything you wish, just put in some elbow greese and time. And if you dont succeed.. well at least you had something to do. And that is the whole point, the journey is the destination.Enjoy life. 👽

I don't think it's necessarily generational, but more like a life phase for some. Sure, it will wax & wane depending on generation, but every generation has them. Recall that the Boomers complained about their Gen-X children being a generation of negative & depressed Doomers 25+ years ago, even in articles & news pieces.
@Michael Whittmann everyone thinks they know everything in their twenties. it's an issue of not having enough life experience to fully understand the information/dis-information in front of you. it takes a couple decades to fully understand the barrel we are all bent over. this idea that boomers ignorant is absurd, they have just been around long enough to know bs when they smell it. intelligence is nothing without the wisdom of time.
@@dasgoofinhiemer5039 What a boomer thing to say. Your generation didn't have access to the information younger people do, so your plight definitely was not the same.
@@dasgoofinhiemer5039 this generation is a bit different in that regard. They have access to tools that bring them information at their fingertips, meaning they have the capabilities of being far-more intelligent than the generations before them.

@@ReTr093 I'm in my mid 30's you dult. was using a computer daily in kindergarten, Apple 2e, ever heard of one? Used modems that required you place a phone on it to work. I was dialing other users all over the world before anyone even heard of AOL. I've experienced the "information age" and unfortunately just like the time before it most can't see the difference in information and bullshit. Feelings carry no weight in survival. Never forget we are animals living in a wild world. An event millions of light years away can end modern civilization, and take us back 250-300yrs. remove the structures that keep the weak supported and the weak become the folly. reliance on technology and inflated senses of self worth are showing themselves daily as culprits to the fall of mankind.
I’ve found that finding small meaning in the day to day that makes you smile will get you through until that big meaning starts to show itself. Taking care of my family and others makes me happy. Taking care of my body and building it makes me happy. The blue sky and the green grass and the tall trees and the sunshine makes me happy. Listening to upbeat music and lofi makes me happy. Dancing like a fool in my house makes me happy. I feel a lot of fear and pain and injustice in the world and sometimes it puts me in a funk but I just try to remember that the more I try to sustain a happy state the less happy I actually am. It’s hard to feel aimless and like life has no meaning but in reality that’s just our ego telling us that we need to have a certain type of meaning and success and we won’t be happy until we reach that specific definition we have come up with in our minds. Paint, dance, workout, go on walks, etc… remove the idea that you must feel happy about all things all the time. That expectation is what causes unhappiness. Breathe out the idea that you must be interested and knowledgeable about all things. Breathe out that you must have an opinion on all things. Tragedy is a part of all human existence, but, if you can sit back and realize that while painful and sad, life is also wonderful and beautiful. If you’re looking for a place to start in finding purpose or meaning then just start helping others. Family, friends, acquaintances, strangers, etc… give someone a hug that seems to need it. Be an ear for those that need to offload. The beauty of being in a dark place is you know how bad it feels and wouldn’t want anyone else to feel that way. Helping someone else work through their problems is likely to help you work through your problems.
Modern western culture is one racked with alienation, a decline in institutions that give meaning to human life, and the encroachment of capitalism into everyday life.
Or we smoke weed and join random discords to theorise that after death our spirit becomes the entities we met on our astral walks when on shrooms, to teach the next generation of doomers how fucked life is.
For me it was childhood trauma, alcohol/marijuana addiction, combined with a lack of self esteem or confidence to believe that I could do anything. Dropped out of college because I couldn't understand it, and since I don't really have any skills or talents, I worked fast food jobs since graduating high school. Now I just float through day to day and try to drink myself to an early grave. Life doesnt always turn out how we thought it would when we were kids, I know that much. I felt like 18 came too quick and I still wasn't ready because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Now I'm 25 and can say I am still no closer to knowing what I would want to do.

No worries lad, it describes most of this generation. Heck, it may describe a phase that almost everyone may have experienced at some point regardless of the year anyone has been born.
Doomers are just manchildren who failed at being adults, while expecting society to stoop down to meet them at their level. It’s the most pathetic thing to look at

A lot of us "doomers" turn to video games as a drug...when you really think about it, there's something seriously f***ed up about the fact that we as humans can create a simulated environment that we enjoy more than the actual world in which we live. Just goes to show how screwed we are. edit: It's ok everyone I have now seen life in a brand new way. All it takes is some perspective. You see, it's actually worse than I thought originally.
Man I gotta tell you this was amazing and very insightful. I actually needed this very much. I always disliked my pessimistic mindset, but it was hard to escape from when seeing the suffering of others and the real truth and facts surrounding being a person. I was always able to disprove my mind until I let myself dive into facts and statistics surrounding life, which has left me feeling a similar growing discomfort. Its part of the reason I started making songs and getting the courage to post them. I realized they don’t have to be good, and it’s better than nothing. Thanks man.

Finally we have a meme with a profound philosophy behind it. I am Russian, and I noticed that the Doomer meme resonates a lot among Russian youth, myself included. I think you should make more videos on subject of pessimism and nihilism and talk about more recent thinkers: Zapffe, Cioran, Herman Tennessen, Lighotti. Will be looking forward to seeing that. Such philosophy will never be popular enough to gather crowds, but it will always find its followers in people who not only think, but feel that way. Keep up the good job!
@The main cause of warps in all of reality Nope! I'm a doomer. I'm just saying this video might get a lot of attention from the x fans. I'm sick of this generation. What's it called, gen z? English has changed with all these ignorant assholes like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. I don't even want to say their names! I'm not depressed or anything, but I think everyone is just a failed abortion.
Only the lonely. Previous generations certainly felt this. We are not unique. Think of the alienation and ignorance derived from being anyone prior to our age. Think about being a dad in 1850.
The hard part about being us is the nostalgia we have for pre internet era and the rawness of life that comes with that vs. the know it all superiority that comes with being a 2021 being. Its like you feel above it all and somehow beneath it all too.
The previous generations could find counter cultural impact/reflection in music and film whereas our era in time has none of that (apart from the 2019 Joker). It's all purely commercial detritus. The doomer meme is the closest thing I've seen online of any creative merit that really nailed the mood of a generation.
@@stephendoyle618 We are not unique, but humans were not evolved to deal with having ALL the information at hand ALL of the time. We were not evolved to know how much shit there's in the world, know that it could be better, but find ourselves unable to change anything. Watch "Inside" from Bo Burnham, he depicts it pretty well.
Was a doomer for a good while, then got into a meaningful profession (Nursing home) and now? Life is good. Yeah I still got some issues, but life has gotten good. Blessed to be where I am now.
I’m not really a pessimist or a nihilist like the Doomer, I just have no idea what direction to take my life in. If someone tells you to follow your heart, but your heart points nowhere, what direction do you go in?
It's time to discover yourself. Look inside and seek your core ideas or feelings. Determine where they come from and why. Then use that knowledge to craft a new path. It's a tough journey. Good luck!

I've tried of everything to improve my relationship with my family but guess what it only got worse they blame me for doing Soo little even though most my cousins didn't do anything either I know deep down it's because my father manipulated my mother and her family I hate being blamed about it it's not my fault that I had to be born
Also when I was 3 to 9 I was such an obedient kid but they say that I look so much like my father when my brother and I get into a fight they always side with my brother even though half of the times he started it I hate how they blame me shame me for looking like my father they treat me like the person at fault Its not my fault that my father tricked my mom and uncles why do I have to listen to there shet like it's my fault at the very least my mother is the only one who's atleast not blaming that it's my fault.. it's not my fault I still remember clear as day when they were laughing when I was crying because my pet got injured .they eat dogs in front of me I wanted to puke 🤢 why do I have to watch them eat a dog remembering all that it just got me crying And random fact I love dogs more than humans because dogs are the only once there when I needed to be comforted the most I

@James Not everyone wants to live, because to live is to suffer. Some people just want to exist, even though they wouldn't admit it, they would rather live in a blissful lie than a hurtful truth.
this all doomer thing is so scary accurate.. nightwalks, living alone, no job, watching yt instead of sleeping, even the music (black metal, synthwave and sad chill mixes. I mean wtf, that's exactly me).. even watching 10 years old photos of your classmates that you will never meet again because now they have a life, a gf and a decent job and you are still there, looking back.. 'cause there's nothing forth.... it's incredible how all this people have managed to end up exactly this way, as if it were the only possible ending. btw it's kinda comforting that there are so many of us, i feel like sharing this pain make it more bearable. I wonder where will we be in like 10 years... all I know is that we will be there together probably. and it's nice to be understood...
Again, just one step at a time. “What’s the next best thing to do you can do in the next 5 minutes?” Try to check out the blogs zenhabits, James Clear and Mark Manson if you’d like some help. Their articles aren’t that long. Read at least a few regularly. I’m not asking much. No need to. Take it slowly if you need to. Try it.
This is fantastic but I have one small nitpick, and it has no consequence on your conclusions. Nietzsche was not himself a nihilist. He was the first to articulate the worldview as such but nihilism was what he feared the world would devolve to in the absence of valid meaning in the void left by Christianity's failures. Excellent video. Subscribed.
To be specific, Nietzsche WAS nihilist. But he was an Active Nihilist. He believe that the lack of values as absolute wasn't to be seen as a tragedy that makes you lose hope and leaves you without a guide in the world where nothing makes sense (this is passive nihilism, the Doomer), he believed they such lack was actually something to rejoice and embrace, as it gave to those who were strong enough the possibility to live their lives to the fullest, deciding by themselves how to live and without being limited by society rules. There is a huge difference Active and Passive Nihilism, but our culture obviously missed the point and remembered only the depressed and doomer-esque part. To Nietzsche, the lack of meaning meant that we didn't need anymore prophets and intellectuals to follow, but that everyone should decide on their own, searching for their own meaning and obtaining a fulfilment on their own. I liked reading the dude, even if there is always the question "When did he start going completely mad?"
Actually (as a the more you know thing) it's really hard to point to what Nietzsche himself believed. Much of his work was only published by his brother, who was heavily involved in the Nazi party, after Nietzsche himself passed away. It's been speculated by many historians that his brother heavily edited said work to fit his own world view though no one knows for sure. Another fun fact many Chinese phylosophers such as Confucius are speculated to be fictional characters pushed by different Chinese governments to justify the practices of the Chinese emperor Edit: it was his brother in law (sisters husband) sorry misremembered
@@Hyperversum3 Didn't Nietzsche explicitly state that nihilism was the dangerous void for civilization to overcome before it could truly believe in the superhuman? Not sure if that contradicts your point, tho.
@@carlcarlington7317 Yeah, but this is just speculation. And if you read him properly he CAN BE READ as a support for nazism but it isn't. The "Ubermensch" ain't an aryan dude by definition, the Ubermensch is who is capable of overcoming the difficulties of our world and become completely indipendent. Hell, the Ubermensch Nietzsche wrote about probably wouldn't have liked taking orders by someone who became powerful using people fear and rage. This is also connected to how Nietzsche kept opposing his view to the one typical of the West, coming from Socrates&Plato phyosophy,
I used to be a doomer when I was 20, and for a couple of years was exactly how the doomer character is portrayed. I got through it through sheer willpower and an urge to do something different to make me happy again. I found a job that pays decently and isn’t completely boring, study paramedicine and have hobbies such as martial arts and playing the guitar. My piece of advice to those who are doomers is this: You do what you want. If it makes you happy and gives you a sense of purpose, pursue it and forget what the modern world tells you. You are your own person and it’s your story. You may not decide how your life begins and what happens around you, but you decide what you do and how you’ll do it. Even if you have to rough it out for a while to get to where you want to be, it’s worth it. You got this fellow doomers, best of luck.

The problem with depression, is it makes you apathetic to even the activities you used to enjoy. I think what a lot of people with the mentality like the video is talking about have is likely depression. It's hard to "do what you enjoy" when you lose the ability to enjoy those things. I believe it is called Anhedonia, But it results in a decreased ability to feel pleasure. I have no idea how you treat such a thing but I know many people have it. I know for myself, I can't even play a video game (my main hobby) for more than 10 minutes at a time because it feels bland and boring. Can't even finish a new game that I've never played before anymore. It's the same for tv shows and sometimes even music. Losing the ability to feel pleasure truly makes life feel worthless, I know that much.

Having to plaster on a fake smile for everyone around you. Having your worries and true thoughts constantly dismissed by others because "you're smart", "that won't happen to you", "you have a bright future ahead of you", "you're so beautiful" "you're so optimistic", no one cares to see how much you're truly drowning, they just want to see the idea they have of you in their head and then act blindsided when you unalive yourself

As a recently 22-year-old young person, I’ve essentially given up on ever owning my own home, getting married, or starting a family because I can’t see how I could afford it without having to spend my entire life working 90 hours a week into the ground.
Hoping for the collapse and wealth transfer. Older people hoarding all the wealth isn't sustainable for our species.
You just gave up on owning your own home? Why?
Stop trying to fit in with the herd.
Me too. I don't see a possibility of me ever being able to afford a $250k house (average price in my city), plus having kids and paying for their stuff, plus having a car or two. I won't even try. I'll push alone as far as I can and when I can't do it anymore I guess I'll just become homeless and die on the street.

40 year old Doomer here. I can't believe how well this described my life up until now. I think it was harder for me since I grew up split up between the time where the internet didn't exist and the current time. I was raised to believe that you could be anything you wanted if your were optimistic and worked hard for it. I was blind to the reality of life well up my late teens. And that is when truth hit me harder than a freight train. Depression, denial, anxiety and suicidal thoughts overtook my life for a couple of decades.
Today, I just accepted life for what it is, even if it's meaningless. Acceptance that things sometimes won't be how you wish them to be, or how you were told they would be, is key to finding your peace. I dedicate my very simple life to my dog, my art and my hobbies, with work in between to sustain it. I have no one in my life, but I somehow managed to find happiness within myself.
I am 65 and feel the same. There is peace in it though.
Ditto, I was born in December 1984
I’m 25 and have found enjoying the small things & not dwelling on what makes me unhappy is a great way not to be depressed. It can sometimes be very easy to dwell though, but you have to learn to block it out lol. Glad your doing better in life my friend!
Me too 40 Year old Boomer / Coomer, I’m a professional health care worker, I own a property worth a million dollar, my empty vacation home in Miami and live in a studio in NYC, I have it all but no woman or kids, I gave up and just gave in to a lonely life enjoy my hobbies by myself.
You aren't the only one living like this I'm exactly the same, minus the dog but I plan on getting one soon! Simple, quiet life is best, you can't hope for much more than that 🙏

Why live when you can just die?
I’ve been a doomer since I was 17, currently 32. I’ve done some things, met some people and had some relationships I never thought I would. Everything that happens in my life feels like it happened completely through chance. Nowadays when I wake up and go to work, then go to the gym, I have this sense of watching myself doing these things and I’m constantly asking myself, why and how are you doing this, because not only would I rather be sleeping or smoking, I have spent the vast majority of my life sleeping and doing nothing but gaming. The question every doomer seeks to answer is how to stay motivated and live a ‘normal’ life, and after 15 years of this I can honestly say, I still do not have the slightest clue
I guess im screwed then 😅
So am i, life has no purpose
Try to find what inspires you or you’re curious about. What lights you up when you hear about it or see it? Your interests, whether it’s music, cooking, or quantum physics, can snowball into giving existence meaning. Observe and make note of what those things are and chase them. Even if trivial, they could make you feel happy and fulfilled for some moments
Depression and dissociation, that's what it is. You're not alone.
Indeed.
My best friend was a Doomer, and he took his life this past September. This video described my best friend way too accurately.
Sorry for your loss.
Suicide is rough man I’m sorry
So sorry. As depressing as it can be sometimes I believe in toughing it out, we just don’t know what’s on the other side... maybe there’s greater reward for roughing it out in this life.
Rip
I'm sorry to hear that man...I too lost my best friend to suicide a month ago. Life has a different meaning to me now, not in a good way either. And I was a doomer before I lost him.

"When you don't want to live but don't want to commit suicide" oof... feeling this way makes me not be careful anymore. Not worrying about possibly being an accident. Not getting that mole checked. Having an "if I die, I die" attitude. For people who feel this way, we've already accepted death for what it is and don't fear it. The only thing we really fear is how we die and hope it's quick and easy.
Don't you fear being the last human being on earth ? Don't you fear being mute, deaf and blind all at once ? Don't you fear being a vegetable ? Don't you fear getting raped by well hung males ?
Same for me. I basically don't fear death anymore since my mentality is that I can't care/worry anymore after I'm dead. In your words "If I die, I die" so what about it. Just marks an end to the struggels of life. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy life while you are able to and that's mainly why suicide is out of the question. My only worry is how my death could affect those around me as I don't wanna make them sad/depressed just because I moved on from life.
I'm only 17 and I already have that "if I die, I die" attitude, I already accepted my fate, I know that I'm probably not going to make it in life so I just tell myself that while my life may be miserable in certain aspects, I'm still going to try to live the best life I could and live it to it's fullest till it's over
If I die, I die. It's only a matter of how and when.
I don't think a bad mole would be a quick and easy death.

@@VYMQGSOH thats bs, ive experienced the worst and best feelings, your life is not ruined bc of very bad feelings
@@VYMQGSOH I think I get your point but I interpreted what Lone Wolf said as feeling every emotion, not just happiness, instead of every experience. Your first comment made me think you were talking about emotions but the beginning doesn’t make sense to me because you can’t appreciate the best of times without the worst of times to compare it with. If you’re always having a good time then what makes any moment special or the best? Back to your second comment, sure we all can’t experience both extremities of every curveball life throws at us but there can definitely be parallels in emotions even if our experiences to get those feelings are different. It’s all just chemicals in our head saying that this is great, this is not great, and everything in between. We can all feel different variations of emotions that make life interesting, whether they were good or bad. To me, that’s everything
@@VYMQGSOH Yes it is impossible to experience the exact same scenario as everyone else, I’m just arguing that people can still provoke the same emotions through different experiences. Like in your scenario, if I’ve never had a father to mourn for because I grew up without him, then yeah I won’t have the same emotions as someone who did grew up with their dad and is upset about his death. But there could be someone else in their life that was a father-figure to them that would provoke the same emotion of loss if they were to lose them. That’s why we can still empathize with other people even if we haven’t been in their shoes. We can still understand their pain. Yes we’re all different and we all had different hardships in life, but emotions let us understand each other so that we’re more likely to bond with other people and survive as a group.
I think you see emotions and experiences as a one way street but I see a lot of overlap with each other. If you think emotions from a biological standpoint, it’s just the amount of dopamine or other mixtures of chemicals released that make us feel a certain emotion in any moment. If I feel really happy because I got a promotion, I could provoke the same amount of chemicals to be released on my wedding day, it really depends on your priorities. But with that said, what are the chances that we provoke the same amount of chemicals that make us feel really happy as someone else who was also really happy from a different experience? It could happen, especially when we try to compare every single emotion we experience in life. The happiness I felt from getting my first house could be the same emotions someone else felt when they got their first puppy.
That’s the main thing I don’t agree with your argument because it’s based on the fact that if every event happened this way, then you would get this type of emotion, when I think emotions are more universal than that. That’s why people can understand each other and empathize through music, through different languages, and through different experiences even if we haven’t walked in each other’s shoes. We may not experience everything, but we can perhaps feel everything.

For me, it's the complete detachment and isolation of adult life in modern society that gets to me the most.

All you do is have responsibilities, you no longer make new friends, you just have coworkers, and the ones you do have will slowly but surely fade away as time goes by, either through them having kids, moving, or just eventually losing touch. I feel like there's literally no way to create and maintain human relationships with the way society is set up, you just work all day, and have no real outlet to meet new people.

Logic?
Scrimp here’s your logic (sorry for any typos or grammar errors). In life there is just so many things in life to over complicate. You can always grub in the negative news and then the next day or next week some new negative news will be there. You can waste your life in social media and then there will always something new in social media to keep you at it. We have to live life in moderation. Understand that it’s not good to set your life on something thats “virtual” and doesn’t represent your own life. If your too busy watching the news, playing video games, and on social media to the point where it impacts you from experiencing your life to the fullest then what’s the point?? Life is too short. Your life is where your energy goes. Don’t stress about the certain insecurities and expectations you have from people. We all are not perfect. If you put your energy in making yourself feel worthless or inadequate then of course that becomes your reality. Our rights and wrongs are subjective. We choose to believe what we want to believe. The light and sound spectrum is an infinite scale and we only feel a part of that spectrum. No matter how far we get making technology there will always be something that in the spectrum are yet to find. That’s the basic of science (not to discourage advancing humanity tho). The point is since the things we see, feel, taste, hear, smell ranges only from “part” of the light and sound spectrum then we are never certain that our perception will ever be quintessential to understand our world. Therefore we are only left off to believe what we are given at. That being said, we need to believe in our lives being positive for what it is. You can keep looking at yourself for the countless ways of negative things about you or the positive things about you (vice versa) like in the light and sound spectrum. But hopefully we should know that our mindset on how we see ourselves, everyone, and the world is just a part of what we take from the positive/negative things in our lives. So hopefully we do our best in letting our mindset be more influenced by the good compared to the bad since that is what’s going to take a person far in life. I realized to be one at peace with yourself you must first know the “Ying-Yang” of your situation. Understand that good and bad balances each other. If there was no bad then there would be no good. Bad memories exist to make us realize what is our good memories (vice versa). Then from there know to let your life flow from there and to not fight the “current” of life. There will always be a rock (challenges) in our lives but understand to let the waters let you flow around that rock. Spend too much time trying to fight that rock or think too much of that rock then you will be stuck there more. It goes to the saying, spend too much time victimizing yourself for what situation you have then you’ll ultimately feel trapped and prevented from moving on or bettering yourself. You can know so much of life where you don’t actually experience it. Being so intelligent in how the world works doesn’t compare to the wisdom for experiencing the world.

24. The realization is slowly setting in. However, I can say that the statement of coping through expression, the arts, philosophy, is really the only way to prove to the world that you exist, no matter how insignificant it may seem. In society you are forever bound by rules and your own body, but the greatest gift is your mind, because in your mind you are truly free.

I am the typical young adult, milllenial of 90s. I am 28 and still struggling to get a job. No matter how hard I try, I am crushed in this competitive world and ruthlessness of it, especially in corporate. If you want to make it big, you have to be exceptionally talented or skilled at something. Problem arises when you don't know what that is. I have tried different things like creative writing, graphic designing, everything turned out to be just average. 90s were the golden years for me, little did I know that we would suffer like this as adults. All the technological advancements were supposed to make life simpler, but I saw young people becoming slaves. Moreover, the slave mentality that suggests working 8 to 9 hours a day without taking leaves, is purported as " commitment ".
Count me in, Doomers. I was a Bloomer though all throughout childhood. I saw the positive in everything before I became like you. Every doomer was once a bloomer.
The last sentence hits hard.
I don't think kids are born bloomers, they just know little about the dark side of society. But I do believe boomers in their 20s or mid 30s will eventually become bloomer.

Man this is actually one of the best explanations of the way the current generation generally feels, best accurately explained. Damn.
I don't think it's necessarily generational, but more like a life phase for some. Sure, it will wax & wane depending on generation, but every generation has them.
Recall that the Boomers complained about their Gen-X children being a generation of negative & depressed Doomers 25+ years ago, even in articles & news pieces.
@Michael Whittmann everyone thinks they know everything in their twenties. it's an issue of not having enough life experience to fully understand the information/dis-information in front of you. it takes a couple decades to fully understand the barrel we are all bent over. this idea that boomers ignorant is absurd, they have just been around long enough to know bs when they smell it. intelligence is nothing without the wisdom of time.
@@dasgoofinhiemer5039 What a boomer thing to say. Your generation didn't have access to the information younger people do, so your plight definitely was not the same.
@@dasgoofinhiemer5039 this generation is a bit different in that regard. They have access to tools that bring them information at their fingertips, meaning they have the capabilities of being far-more intelligent than the generations before them.

@@ReTr093 I'm in my mid 30's you dult. was using a computer daily in kindergarten, Apple 2e, ever heard of one? Used modems that required you place a phone on it to work. I was dialing other users all over the world before anyone even heard of AOL. I've experienced the "information age" and unfortunately just like the time before it most can't see the difference in information and bullshit. Feelings carry no weight in survival. Never forget we are animals living in a wild world. An event millions of light years away can end modern civilization, and take us back 250-300yrs. remove the structures that keep the weak supported and the weak become the folly. reliance on technology and inflated senses of self worth are showing themselves daily as culprits to the fall of mankind.
I’ve found that finding small meaning in the day to day that makes you smile will get you through until that big meaning starts to show itself. Taking care of my family and others makes me happy. Taking care of my body and building it makes me happy. The blue sky and the green grass and the tall trees and the sunshine makes me happy. Listening to upbeat music and lofi makes me happy. Dancing like a fool in my house makes me happy. I feel a lot of fear and pain and injustice in the world and sometimes it puts me in a funk but I just try to remember that the more I try to sustain a happy state the less happy I actually am. It’s hard to feel aimless and like life has no meaning but in reality that’s just our ego telling us that we need to have a certain type of meaning and success and we won’t be happy until we reach that specific definition we have come up with in our minds. Paint, dance, workout, go on walks, etc… remove the idea that you must feel happy about all things all the time. That expectation is what causes unhappiness. Breathe out the idea that you must be interested and knowledgeable about all things. Breathe out that you must have an opinion on all things. Tragedy is a part of all human existence, but, if you can sit back and realize that while painful and sad, life is also wonderful and beautiful. If you’re looking for a place to start in finding purpose or meaning then just start helping others. Family, friends, acquaintances, strangers, etc… give someone a hug that seems to need it. Be an ear for those that need to offload. The beauty of being in a dark place is you know how bad it feels and wouldn’t want anyone else to feel that way. Helping someone else work through their problems is likely to help you work through your problems.

Wrong, doomers would think of it as ignorance.
Or we smoke weed and join random discords to theorise that after death our spirit becomes the entities we met on our astral walks when on shrooms, to teach the next generation of doomers how fucked life is.
I don't know anyone else's story, but for me it was grief, loss, childhood trauma and drug addiction that turned me into a doomer.
For me it was childhood trauma, alcohol/marijuana addiction, combined with a lack of self esteem or confidence to believe that I could do anything. Dropped out of college because I couldn't understand it, and since I don't really have any skills or talents, I worked fast food jobs since graduating high school. Now I just float through day to day and try to drink myself to an early grave. Life doesnt always turn out how we thought it would when we were kids, I know that much. I felt like 18 came too quick and I still wasn't ready because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Now I'm 25 and can say I am still no closer to knowing what I would want to do.
@@creasedhorizon8931 same here my dude. I had opportunities to create the life I wanted for myself but I wasn't willing to take the steps towards it because I didn't feel like I was worthy enough.

The thing is, previous generations probably also felt like this. They just didn't have the Internet to amplify it.
Only the lonely. Previous generations certainly felt this. We are not unique. Think of the alienation and ignorance derived from being anyone prior to our age. Think about being a dad in 1850.
The hard part about being us is the nostalgia we have for pre internet era and the rawness of life that comes with that vs. the know it all superiority that comes with being a 2021 being. Its like you feel above it all and somehow beneath it all too.
The previous generations could find counter cultural impact/reflection in music and film whereas our era in time has none of that (apart from the 2019 Joker). It's all purely commercial detritus. The doomer meme is the closest thing I've seen online of any creative merit that really nailed the mood of a generation.

Poor baby
I’m not really a pessimist or a nihilist like the Doomer, I just have no idea what direction to take my life in. If someone tells you to follow your heart, but your heart points nowhere, what direction do you go in?
Right? Is it closed? It has to be open and you'll know when it is
Forward. Even if forward is the wrong way, it's at least better than inaction.
It's time to discover yourself. Look inside and seek your core ideas or feelings. Determine where they come from and why. Then use that knowledge to craft a new path.
It's a tough journey. Good luck!
Whenever you lack answers and direction in life, take a break and go into wilderness for a month and you will see clearly. Worked for me.

Damn, lol. Had to post this.
The more I listen; the more the narrator of this video sounds like Edward Norton
@@justoneguy2487 I know right? Haha.
Good thing Tyler durden was a made up character in a movie and not a philosophical authority 😉
Tyler Durden obviously hadn’t heard of the global ecosystem collapse. I’d say protecting and restoring the diversity and complexity that is the result of 4.5 billion years of life on earth is every Great War we could ever want to give our lives meaning x100000

“I’ve tried absolutely nothing and I’m all out of ideas”
I've tried of everything to improve my relationship with my family but guess what it only got worse they blame me for doing Soo little even though most my cousins didn't do anything either I know deep down it's because my father manipulated my mother and her family I hate being blamed about it it's not my fault that I had to be born
Also when I was 3 to 9 I was such an obedient kid but they say that I look so much like my father when my brother and I get into a fight they always side with my brother even though half of the times he started it I hate how they blame me shame me for looking like my father they treat me like the person at fault Its not my fault that my father tricked my mom and uncles why do I have to listen to there shet like it's my fault at the very least my mother is the only one who's atleast not blaming that it's my fault.. it's not my fault I still remember clear as day when they were laughing when I was crying because my pet got injured .they eat dogs in front of me I wanted to puke 🤢 why do I have to watch them eat a dog remembering all that it just got me crying
And random fact I love dogs more than humans because dogs are the only once there when I needed to be comforted the most I
I know you don't want to listen to my rant I just wanted to feel heard because when I share this to real people I get made fun off or get starved Soo much for human sympathy

i love that movie

@@Muhammad12035three No, not really. Surviving is being physically alive. Living is being a human. Exploring. Pain, sorrow, happiness.
@James Not everyone wants to live, because to live is to suffer. Some people just want to exist, even though they wouldn't admit it, they would rather live in a blissful lie than a hurtful truth.

this all doomer thing is so scary accurate.. nightwalks, living alone, no job, watching yt instead of sleeping, even the music (black metal, synthwave and sad chill mixes. I mean wtf, that's exactly me).. even watching 10 years old photos of your classmates that you will never meet again because now they have a life, a gf and a decent job and you are still there, looking back.. 'cause there's nothing forth....
it's incredible how all this people have managed to end up exactly this way, as if it were the only possible ending.
btw it's kinda comforting that there are so many of us, i feel like sharing this pain make it more bearable. I wonder where will we be in like 10 years... all I know is that we will be there together probably.
and it's nice to be understood...
Lord Feder Aye right on brother. In a few years we’ll all be bloomers 😉
@@shakairfan5764 yeah, some of us will be bloomer and some of us will "bloom up" their heads lol
I feel your pain bro. Youre indeed not alone
Keep trying, mate.
Again, just one step at a time. “What’s the next best thing to do you can do in the next 5 minutes?” Try to check out the blogs zenhabits, James Clear and Mark Manson if you’d like some help. Their articles aren’t that long. Read at least a few regularly. I’m not asking much. No need to. Take it slowly if you need to. Try it.
This is fantastic but I have one small nitpick, and it has no consequence on your conclusions. Nietzsche was not himself a nihilist. He was the first to articulate the worldview as such but nihilism was what he feared the world would devolve to in the absence of valid meaning in the void left by Christianity's failures. Excellent video. Subscribed.
Peter K all words mentioned before the word “but” are meaningless
To be specific, Nietzsche WAS nihilist.
But he was an Active Nihilist.
He believe that the lack of values as absolute wasn't to be seen as a tragedy that makes you lose hope and leaves you without a guide in the world where nothing makes sense (this is passive nihilism, the Doomer), he believed they such lack was actually something to rejoice and embrace, as it gave to those who were strong enough the possibility to live their lives to the fullest, deciding by themselves how to live and without being limited by society rules.
There is a huge difference Active and Passive Nihilism, but our culture obviously missed the point and remembered only the depressed and doomer-esque part.
To Nietzsche, the lack of meaning meant that we didn't need anymore prophets and intellectuals to follow, but that everyone should decide on their own, searching for their own meaning and obtaining a fulfilment on their own.
I liked reading the dude, even if there is always the question "When did he start going completely mad?"
Actually (as a the more you know thing) it's really hard to point to what Nietzsche himself believed. Much of his work was only published by his brother, who was heavily involved in the Nazi party, after Nietzsche himself passed away. It's been speculated by many historians that his brother heavily edited said work to fit his own world view though no one knows for sure. Another fun fact many Chinese phylosophers such as Confucius are speculated to be fictional characters pushed by different Chinese governments to justify the practices of the Chinese emperor
Edit: it was his brother in law (sisters husband) sorry misremembered
@@Hyperversum3 Didn't Nietzsche explicitly state that nihilism was the dangerous void for civilization to overcome before it could truly believe in the superhuman? Not sure if that contradicts your point, tho.
@@carlcarlington7317 Yeah, but this is just speculation.
And if you read him properly he CAN BE READ as a support for nazism but it isn't.
The "Ubermensch" ain't an aryan dude by definition, the Ubermensch is who is capable of overcoming the difficulties of our world and become completely indipendent. Hell, the Ubermensch Nietzsche wrote about probably wouldn't have liked taking orders by someone who became powerful using people fear and rage.
This is also connected to how Nietzsche kept opposing his view to the one typical of the West, coming from Socrates&Plato phyosophy,
I used to be a doomer when I was 20, and for a couple of years was exactly how the doomer character is portrayed.
I got through it through sheer willpower and an urge to do something different to make me happy again. I found a job that pays decently and isn’t completely boring, study paramedicine and have hobbies such as martial arts and playing the guitar.
My piece of advice to those who are doomers is this: You do what you want. If it makes you happy and gives you a sense of purpose, pursue it and forget what the modern world tells you. You are your own person and it’s your story. You may not decide how your life begins and what happens around you, but you decide what you do and how you’ll do it. Even if you have to rough it out for a while to get to where you want to be, it’s worth it. You got this fellow doomers, best of luck.
Yes this is it. I went through the same thing and adopted the very same mindset.
Funny thing is, there is no point to all this. But it's better to feel good and happy instead of wasting your life away in a bed thinking suicidally.
@@nobodykayaks1041 Maybe ur a doomed because your an arse so no one ever wants to talk to or be around you. You then cope by saying you hate people and lock yourself in ur room acting like it’s everyone else’s fault 🫠
@@nobodykayaks1041 dude, if you consider not seeing any point to continue life because there's no point in life and barely scraping by as something that you need to join in on, then you got issues
The problem with depression, is it makes you apathetic to even the activities you used to enjoy. I think what a lot of people with the mentality like the video is talking about have is likely depression. It's hard to "do what you enjoy" when you lose the ability to enjoy those things. I believe it is called Anhedonia, But it results in a decreased ability to feel pleasure. I have no idea how you treat such a thing but I know many people have it. I know for myself, I can't even play a video game (my main hobby) for more than 10 minutes at a time because it feels bland and boring. Can't even finish a new game that I've never played before anymore. It's the same for tv shows and sometimes even music. Losing the ability to feel pleasure truly makes life feel worthless, I know that much.

Yes
That is brilliant. I was trying to articulate this thought just yesterday.

It damned well IS a measure of good mental health to remain emotionally stable in spite of our sick society.
Dontcha think that maybe this doesn't pass through the filter though. Given different cognitive functioning and/or trauma, one might be reach for credit. But there is much truth to what you say being in the know

@Sith'ari Azithoth the boomer in those memes are usually referred to as "30yo boomers", they are 80s kids with a boomer mentality that either got over the hopeless phase or never experienced it and are enjoying the peak of rock music to this day while having mindless fun with other 30yo boomer friends.

Feeling dead inside but also feeling the pressure of keeping up appearances. Feeling like everything in life is meaningless, but still getting your degree because it's what's expected of you. Having to plaster on a fake smile for everyone around you. Having your worries and true thoughts constantly dismissed by others because "you're smart", "that won't happen to you", "you have a bright future ahead of you", "you're so beautiful" "you're so optimistic", no one cares to see how much you're truly drowning, they just want to see the idea they have of you in their head and then act blindsided when you unalive yourself
