I am unable to find joy in anything

I studied hard and changed my jobs recently thinking that was the main issue. But that didnt work out either. It is not because of lack of romance either since I will just make the poor girl miserable like myself

I am unable to find joy in doing little things like cooking myself a good breakfast or playing video games like I used to

I dont know if any of turned your situation around somehow

A lot of people think their life is terrible because there's kind of the the hedonic treadmill. You get used to how great your life is. No one had a hot shower until 50 years ago. So I try and do this thing when you stand in a hot shower. My friend, pointed this out to me. He went, well look, when you stand in a hot shower, just for a moment just go, well, no one that you admire from 100 years ago had this simple pleasure in life. We are in the top top percentile in terms of the luck that we have had the lives, the calorific intake that we just take for granted. the fact that our children don't die in the first year, the the modern medicine and the entertainment that we get. We're living like kings and yet life has never been objectively better and subjectively worse because the nature of humanity is our desires are mimetic. So we've got this thing where we sort of you know how happy are you? Well, it's your quality of life minus envy. That's how happy you are. And it's easy to look at everyone else and how they're doing and and not take pleasure in what you have.
