Self-transcendence is the one thing that keeps life interesting, yet I (NEETing) find it very difficult to maintain any kind of long-term project that would be challenging enough to create meaning, whether be it owing to the saturation of every field of art or just the social isolation.Have any of you found a way to keep challenging yourself and not falling into long depressive periods that far outrank periods of productivity? I don't mean "productivity" in the sense of being useful to society, just the internal feeling of doing something meaningful to yourself. It seems every project that I undertake falls to the wayside when a sort of medium-sized bump in the road presents itself, or maybe it's inherently unavoidable when you don't have any social contact to spur you on each day? Whether it's developing a game, writing prose, writing music, reading, eventually everything feels meaningless again.I know, this is really vague, but I think anyone who's possibly previously felt the same way and no longer does might be able to offer some basic advice, even if it really is just "get a job: having something to do each day helps tons."
>>33957528Looking for a longterm project? How about getting a job?
