Is depression just seeing reality more clearly?
>>523961934Obviously, “muh chemical balance” is true in that they don’t have the same retarded normie monkey brains as people do in African shitholes
Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.
>>523961934This is just incel thinking. The "4 defenses against reality" it details are basically just proposals to the effect of "what if you weren't so relentlessly negative and instead figured out how to derive meaning and enjoyment from your life instead" to which the eternal incel shrieks COPE, COPE, YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN A MENTAL PRISON AND HATE EVERYTHING LIKE ME OTHERWISE YOU'RE COPING
>>523961934You don't seem to understand that this isn't my problem to figure out, it's yours.
Since males have a by default negative cost to a gendered species, an inability to be a positive cost to bring you up to net positive, is to be removed from the gene pool, and the better way to do this, is by killing yourself, this is because for gendered evolution to work, the worst half of men must die so that the better ones result in an evolution. Religion impulses a more "one to one" so that every man can have a woman, but this is trying to push water up hill with a firehose, you can do it, for a time, but it will fall back on you in a big way every few generations.The USA is finished in this regard
>>523961934Depression seems like the mid point between ignorance and insanity
>>523961934Normtards are in a constant state of schizophrenic delusion and cope.
>>523965370But you are coping.
>>523961934Yes. But the thing Is how to react, one option it's complete nihilism and accept life it's just a series of stuff happening after the other until everyone admits that Hitler was right in some things and wrong in others.
>>523966240Fuck off with that simp video.Men are the only ones that create REAL value, and women do dysgenic selection.
>>523966608You're brown.
>>523966791Yes and you are hyperborean white. Pure white race aryan and such, sorry to existe. Hope you die raped by niggers chino jews the ultimate weapon against your ethno natinalist ideal.
>>523966608There are billionaires who want to kys themselves every day and monks who do nothing but garden and meditate all day and are serenely satisfied. Your mental environment is completely malleable and you literally have to choose to be unhappy
>>523961934> 1 post by this ID> obvious AI image> depression is actually good guys :-DWho is behind this post?
I hate that this infographic exists for the sole purpose of giving this specially vocal, specific subculture of attention whores validation.Most people who claim to be “depressed” are not experiencing depression. They are just distressed by their economic or social conditions.
>>523961934Yes. Everyone has an inflates sense of ego, except depressed people. Tbey see themselves for what they are.
>>523971937Nah. Depressed people are just as prone to power fantasies.
>>523972265I am talking about simple estimations of your own competence. In a random sample 75% of drivers consider themselves above average. It drops to what it should be (50%) if your sample is depressed people.
>>523961934>Life contains more bad than goodSounds like a sinner trying to cope.Don't do things that make you sad. Going to work isn't that. Having a purpose in the morning is not that.When you do drugs, when you seek sexual thrills, distractions in great excess that is on you.Combining art with commerce should be enforced MORE against the artist because if sadness is the right route than art shouldn't be an escape but an exacerbation.
>>523961934Pic is missing the fifth defence.
>>523961934Haha imagine believing the psycology jew. It's a shitty secular Western religion.
>>523961934Yeah I agree with this. Once you realize how fucking stupid, inconsiderate, wasteful and obsessed by trivial bullshit most people are then having to mix with them in order to survive becomes a net negative.Governments at all levels are the living embodiment of this, reflecting back the sheer mediocrity of the average person>we could do this improve things>nah, wouldn't win us the vote.The worse is living in a democracy where the lowest common denominator wins the day and thereby rules your life, makes the rules, and enforces them with violence.But no other political system other than weighted voting ( or qualified voting ) could replace it with anything better. And neither of those are ever going to happen.

>>523961934Depression is fake though. Spoilt kids use it as an excuse to justify their bad behaviour.
going too far in either direction is retarded. being "mildly depressed" as they term it, does make sense.it's far better to err on the side of pessimism and explore all the potential downsides of a situation than to be overly optimistic and insist the glass is always half full.
>>523965370You quite frankly said that you are mad that incels dont find coping mechanisms like you do.
>>523973807jeets should post on bharatchan and live in the subcontinent. fuck off.
>>523961934No?What fucking clarity is there in "my life sucks because my life sucks and I am powerless to make my life not suck" when there is precisely one fucking person that can make your life not fucking suck.Depression is predicated on delusion and malnourishment.
>>523965370trvke
>>523973807It should be noted that jeets are likely all depressed due to their terrible choices in life.They're just too fucking stupid to notice.
>>523961934For some people, yeah. I think any competent therapist has had clients that absolutely should be depressed given their circumstances and, though they'd never admit it, these people's lives aren't likely going to improve just from improving their mood. But then there are also the>Is this... a dull office job... AHHHH HELP ME NIGGERMAN I'M GOING CRAZYdepressives, where their depression is something that is detached from their material reality.
>>523961934There is no God or divine creator. The 'universe' or 'existence' or whatever you want to call it, just is & that's it. It does not care. Neither is it intentionally hostile. Everything that exists has emerged through process. This is the reality of the world & it explains why life can be harsh sometimes. But is it really depressing? When you think about it we are quite fortunate that the things we actually enjoy, like a lover's touch, a soft blanket or a great movie, all evolved through process.It's quite amazing when you think about it. So, if you have a negative outlook on the world, you are just ungrateful. be thankful for what we have. If that doesn't work, you have dopamine issues.
>>523974163Hi.Australia is not a meme flag.If you are actually in Australia, let it be known that your visa is officially revoked.
>>523961934It's seeing reality more clearly but processing the information poorly.
Why what do you see, tell us
>>523974205Good. I'll stay here. It's really cool & I like it a lot
>>523961934/pol/'s cope is anchoring.The vast majority here have no friends, no girlfriend, are shut in' so and they blame DE JEWZ because that's how they avoid accountability for their shit life decisions.Try talking about DE JEWZ on a first date and see how that goes. You find acceptance here because your views are so fucking stupid and not based in reality and you find like minded people here.But in the end, your kind will be fully pushed out of society, you won't do shit.And if you were "WINNING" some type of smear campaign against the Jews... The propaganda wouldn't be necessary
>>523974730Women don't have fixed political opinions. Talking about the jews on yhe first date is as good as shilling republicans/democrats. It's a topic that is unlikely to get you much.

>>523961934>The present study examined the depressive realism hypothesis, which posits that depressed people are often more accurate in their perceptions and judgments than non-depressed people are. Each subject initially generated descriptions of others important to them, both positive and negative important others, in the pretest section, and 3 or 4 weeks later, some subjects were invited into the formal experiment to measure the accuracy of their perceptions in a pseudo-social interaction situation. A total of 52 patients diagnosed with clinical depression and 62 normal matched subjects participated in the experimental procedure. The results indicate that clinically depressed patients provided more accurate, less distorted descriptions of their positive important others than did those in the normal group.I knew it. Sad loser optimistic people are naive and childish. Afraid to see the world how it really is.

i think its more circumstantiali was pretty depressed and suicidal until i bought mt dream house innawoods and started living life on my own termsnow im happy as a clam while watching the world burn

>>523979125I'm smart and happy because I'm from a good family and didn't fuck my shit up with wagecucking to pay rent/debt and other normie memes like drinking the liquid jew, brainrotting by watching sportsball and catering to m'lady in my free time.If you're smart, then your life is probably good and you're at least neutral about it.
>>523979165How many people in ausfailia? We have watched all of you naive and childish people submit to your own suicide over and over and over rather than do the needful. I will never forget the video during covid of the pigs ripping a guy's screaming little daughter from his arms to shoot her up with the kill shot.literally what are you willing to die for if not stopping that?
>>523963937you don't have to imagine
>Rad>Goodgood old ai...........grokgpt, how many strawberries can you fit in the pool of the titanic...........>bzzt let me guzzle a lake of water and spend enough electricity to power a house for a year before I give you the wrong answer
>>523963937>subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugsThis shit. I was unhappy and a big sad boi for most of my life. People told me I needed SSRIs and could never understand that even if life is shit, knowing that you're experiencing that shit unfiltered and in reality is the only joy I have
>>523961934Life long depressive here. Not really . There is a big difference between the objective facts about the world and your own feelings. You can (and should) see that the world is a bad place, and that your life is objectively shit, and still be quite content. On the personal level it's all about your mental habits, what you choose to dwell on. The ultimate example is to look at monks who have nothing, and they can become quite happy and content. Also depends on your biochemistry (which comes from diet). It's just much harder to feel depressed if you eat a natural animal based diet and stay hydrated.
>>523980069How do I become buddhist like you? Teach me please>t. chronically depressed anon on the border of suicide
>>523961934>Is depression just seeing reality more clearly?No,it's too much phlegm or black bile.
>>523980196That's already being hafway there since Buddhism is (explicitly btw) a cult of death and destruction, like most Eastern philosophy.
>>523961934>you are depressed because you know shit is fucked>that's a good thing!
>>523969215>obvious AI imageSad that only one person ITT points this out
>>523980196Just go look up hillside hermitage on YouTube and listen for a whileStart with the video called "die before you die"
>>523980437Thank you anon!
>>523961934was that image made by AI? wtf is wrong with its font?
>>523983946Yes. It's a shitty infographic made in NotebookLM
>>523961934lol interesting take
>>523961934
I see reality clearly yet I'm happy all the time, so no. Depression has a biological element in my opinion, some people are just whiners from conception.
>>523961934No it's being a 2D women without sex. Also yellow is good and grey is evil. Men are evil, did I mention that? Men do bad pathetic things women do good thing that help shareholder ape.
And if you want proof I grok a black pilled view, here's an example of a thread of thought of mine:> I love my girlfriend deeply, yet she's just flesh and blood.> Imagine if I smashed her skull open and had to look at someone I love reduced to mere meat.> Imagine if I cooked a chunk of her brain on the stove.> Man that's a dark thought.> But the darkest thing is that we live in a reality where such things are possible.> Grim.> Oh well, is what it is, life's also such an awe inspiring mystery.I can't even help but default to the optimistic silver lining. I mean why the fuck would I sit around feeling sorry for myself all the time? Doesn't achieve anything of value.
>>523961934No. Your mental state is far more likely to be representative of your physical health than any knowledge you have. Inadequate sleep, micronutrient deficiencies, even too much CO2 can trigger dysphoria.
TLDR: you're using depression as a crutch for being weak and cowardly, stop it you fucking woman.
Modern life is an unmitigated disaster for meaning in many ways. Not only is that obviously a big cause of depression, so too is the awareness of it that people can develop. This is all plainly obvious.
>>523979125>AHHHHH HES ACCURATE! SO DEEP SO DEEP VERY SAD! Why are normies like this? Who said reality was sad?
>>523966240>Since males have a by default negative cost to a gendered species, an inability to be a positive cost to bring you up to net positive, is to be removed from the gene pool, and the better way to do this, is by killing yourself, this is because for gendered evolution to work, the worst half of men must die so that the better ones result in an evolution.Everything you said is the opposite of reality. Males are the only ones who can hunt and fight. You should probably take your own advice and kill yourself, as simping for single mothers and childless ssri zombie whores is evolutionarily bad.
>>523979731circumcision is a conspiracy to mutilate and what else are they lying about. there's no reason to see things from the immediate happiness perspective in a society that is truly upside down and tries its hardest to mask how upside down it really is. depression is fake anyway, you're not wrong for being sad you're being systematically fucked over while being lied to that it's your fault
>>523987210Her retarded ideology can only persist because men are forced to give up their resources by the government.Stop subsidizing women's lifestyle and their ideology dies.
No brain no pain. Which is why niggers, browns and women are rarely depressed. The ultimate consumers for the Jew. They are ignorant and bliss.
>>523987561But also unironically I don't understand how anyone can post here with a straight face>woman have babby so woman>manWhen birthrates are at civilizational lows. If women suck too much to have kids, they must not be worth much.
