    Need advice for self reflection/introspection/awareness

    Just to give an update. I've adopted a rather structured combo of morning/evening journaling and meditation. Everything so far unchanged. But these things take a long time. Will keep you posted.

    Oversharing Game

    Say no more. I'm walking to a modern art gallery which I may visit if I don't change my mind by the time I'm there. Currently trying not to have negative thoughts, such as, but not least, wondering if I'll even understand anything about what I may see at the museum and whether this sudden blues...

    Need advice for self reflection/introspection/awareness

    well, the thing is I can't answer those lol well, suffering is a way for the body/brain to tell the current situation is not ok. Therefore, a change must be made, but to make it and improve the current situation, a sense of direction would be very welcome. I guess I could try that.

    Need advice for self reflection/introspection/awareness

    The title pretty much says it all. More in detail, there's plenty of material online (and not) to "find out stuff about yourself" or "your values" or "purpose" or what have you. The problem with all these, is that they assume one can answer questions about themselves, which I agree, should be...

    My friends disappearance

    To be fair, I don't know the whole situation at all, but I don't think this is all on you, even if there were a legitimate reason for their behavior. Some people can't deal well with anything uncomfortable, and may want to distance because of that, for example. I have "scared some people off"...

    Meeting people through clubs or classes

    You've had more luck than I have. I started taking language classes some six months ago or so, but I still don't have anyone I really talk to. To be fair, I think that's great advice, but of course it's not enough to simply be there... unfortunately (for the introverted or shy among us) we have...

    Who do you miss from ALL?

    I miss some people I could probably still talk to if I wanted. But it's not the same anymore. I also feel guilty I can't remember everyone. And of some I remember both too much and too little at the same time. Hope you are all doing ok.

    sum up your life at the moment in a few words

    Progressive daily death. Remote hopeful reward. Bored striving failing.

    Are you one with nature?

    That actually happened to me, except I was visiting my parents in the countryside and helping them with the garden. As luck would have it, a pretty big wasp nest was hidden in a bush. After I got 3 consecutive stings, I kinda bolted and ran away until the lil buggers calmed down. Ouch lol Idk...

    Well, as I mentioned, I used to go to a psychologist. Not specifically for that reason. I've tried 3 so far. It's kind of a given in this case tbh. Who else should know but me? lol ok

    I mean, I would. It was actually suggested to me at one point. However I don't know if I have the right frame of mind for that. I might try, if anything, for the novelty of it, once things get calmer at work and I'm not forced to do overtime. To be fair, as I think is rather evident, I have...

    Idk, I guess I would either read, watch movies, or idk, learn something new. Just not work. Yes, I like being alone. I like peace and quiet. And I don't know the answer to the latter question.

    You are probably right, but how am I supposed to? Covid aside I literally don't have much time to go out, anywhere. I have literally no one to do things with, so what I do is going on walks or to the mall or to the supermarket. I also feel worse after dark. That is why, even if I had triple the...

    The issue is, I just don't know things about myself. It's one of those cases where being "at a distance" would help a lot in seeing the bigger picture. But well, being ourselves as we do, such a step back, at least for me, is not possible. The consequence is, I keep "seeing" always the same...

    Apathy being a problem

    I mean, everything feels the same sort of flat-ish. I do have hobbies and I do sometimes try new things. It's just there's nothing that stands out in any way and yeah... it all feels boring or pointless. Of course I can say I want generic "undefined" things... like everyone. Like, who doesn't...

    Meetup.com

    I did try it, 2-3 times. It doesn't help that there's not much of a choice in my area, but my interests aren't common and so, one time I went to one, and it was basically deserted, another time I went and there were too many people and got anxious and left ( D: I know) and one more time I was...

    Apathy being a problem

    What do you mean? Also not sure if related but your comment here https://www.alonelylife.com/threads/7-years-of-depression-i-want-change.42011/ I agree more. It could be maybe I'm unconsciously doing this to myself in order to not have to do things. Although it doesn't change that whatever the...

    Apathy being a problem

    I have been depressed in the past. Undiagnosed. My last psychologist doesn't think I am, and I probably wasn't and am not now. This thing has been going on more or less for most of my life. I can't even remember when it started. Maybe in middle school? Last year of elementary school? No idea...

    Apathy being a problem

    The issue is simple, the solution probably a bit less. I've got no drive, no desire, no goals. Or at the very least nothing definite. I mean, anyone would want their life to be good/better. Most probably I'll just choose some goal at random just to try and work towards something. I have some...
