You fried your brain. Probably with 4chan or some other social media you use. It’s reversible, but you have to log off.

>>24783370
Read different books. Or go to therapy. You might be clinically depressed.

I'm not depressed, I always loved daydreaming. I have vivid imagination so it's like lucid dreaming but I don't have to struggle with the fact my brain can't generate a working staircase.

>>24783367
This is basically me. I think my brain is fried but I'm also extremely depressed and want to die

Probably happens to most people getting older. I assume you are about 20 something years old. Interests just change. I dropped many hobbies I did pretty intense earlier. No use in forcing something that you don't enjoy at all.

But reading is somehow special. Has been a method of enjoyment for a pretty long time in human history. You can read poetry, philosophy, slop, short stories etc. I just switch in between genres if one gets too boring. After a while you may find an author that picks your interest again.

I wish I knew. Everything is boring, nothing seems worth doing. It’s a terrible way to live but I can’t shake it.

you chased the dopamine high for way too long. Get off the internet and be bored for a while.

get a job, lazy nigger

I was a NEET from the start of covid to 2025
After the first year of covid I started studying languages and then about 1 year in I managed to read my first novel in my TL
From that point onward I was hooked to language learning and spend hours each day reading in my TL, then I picked up a new TL and repeated the same with that
At that point I had stopped playing video games because nothing else was as rewarding as language learning
I am employed now and I still try to spend 2 hours a day reading in my TLs
With my income I built a new PC to replace my 12 year old PC but after 2 months I just got completely bored of games and went back to language learning, something that seemingly never gets old

having a job makes you even less interested in doing anything. drains your energy.
>>
>>24783747
wrong
>>
>>24783728
Nobody is hiring
>>
>>24783767
It depends on the job. Some jobs give a feeling of momentum to your life, which enhances your emotional energy. Other jobs are as bad psychologically as being a NEET.
>>
>>24783767
nah i am living proof that what i said is true. my off days are the only time i have any motivation at all.
>>
>>24783367
I'm exactly this too. All the put downs and fake advice people give to insult you:
>you have adhd
Nope. Zero trouble focusing
>you use social media/the internet too much
Nope. I've gone for a long time without internet
>you masturbate too much
Nope. I don't do it at all
>you need to go outside
Genuinely makes me feel worse. Physically and emotionally
>you need to exercise
I do. It just has never done the uplifting thing that gurus say. I just do it as a chore. I don't feel happier or accomplished. I don't feel energized.
>>
time to die
>>
>>24783745
I've been a neet since the start of covid too. I'm still a neet. I tried to find many kinds of hobbies or to learn a skill. Nothing felt rewarding whatsoever.
>>
>>24783789
you should unironically take antidepressants
>>
>>24783805
I just can't. Thats a line ill never cross.
>>
>>24783812
why
>>
>>24783816
I'm just never going to do it and thats final. I'd rather be dead
>>
>>24783820
seems like a very rational thought process, good luck.
>>
>>24783802
Ironically it was actually achieving something with one of my hobbies which caused me to start to feel a lot of existential dread about being a NEET and it impelled me to start looking for work
Before then I was always happy keeping myself busy with hobbies but I just never got anywhere with any of them
You should try to find work, even if it's only part time
I work a min wage job personally
>>
>>24783828
I'm not a voluntary neet. I have been constantly applying for work this entire time. I wish I could do things or could have used the time better. Like to learn an instrument or learn a language But I don't actually care enough and dont enjoy the process at all.
>>
>>24783367
Stop jacking off
>>
>>24783745
I no longer enjoy language learning, either.

>>24783728
I've had a full time job for over ten years.

>>24783789
Same.
>>
>>24783789
You have depression
>>
>>24783812
>>24783820
Take Vitamin D
