Man... apathy is a bytch

[ThaRealness]

These days Ive been trying to come up out of being kind of a nihilist. That shyt is so hard man.

If Ive got the right mindset, & I feel like Im making an effort, subconsciously I still dont give a fukk.

Like I cant even bring myself to write a 2 page paper for class.

I spent my developing years just living in my own world, smoking weed & kicking it with a few main homies.

Now I know whats really up, but it feels late in the game...

It's never too late for education. Get to it.

I mean Im at a great university right now.. but it goes deeper then that

No reason to be vague on a message board. I don't understand why it would "go deeper than that"

Bottom line if you don't want to take your education seriously.. fine but don't complain when you're 40 and realize you wasted it.

Its not easy...but suicide isn't the answer...and poverty sucks so...Grind on young man.

I face the same shyt sometimes with the whole existential-nihilism angle, but it helps if you start immersing yourself in the world around you.

Start leaving the house more. Think more about implied consequences. Set day to day goals...

...get laid regularly.

Sometimes having people who are plugged in to "the matrix" helps you from spinning out of control and getting lost in your own head.

Yeah...nothing means anything...but since you're here...why not go hard?

Read some Nietzsche/Camus/Kierkegaard/Sartre/etc.

You gotta push through it.

Also, reevaluate your life. What do you really want? To me, it sounds like you're living a life or heading down a path someone else wanted for you?

thats a fair point

I just used to be a really passive individual.. I avoided taking risks & feared any kind of change.That kind of developed into me living in my own world & spending alot of time bullshytting on the computer & whatnot

But lately Ive come to realize that I actually have potential.. but like I said its hard to put words into action. & also I lack crucial life experience that other people my age have

Listen.

Knowing that ultimately NOTHING holds you back, you're going to look back and realize you're unhappy with where you are because you didn't take advantage of YESTERDAY.

Trust me when i say this.

If you want to go to professional school, knock that shyt out NOW.

Make the right moves to get paid NOW. If you want to go into business/finance or science or engineering etc...do that shyt NOW.

don't waste time...because people like us will get really introspective REALLY fast...like super depressed without any impetus.

...you'll wonder why everyone is passing you by when you didn't knock shyt out like you should have DURING THESE DAYS.

I had a mini-existential moment in undergrad and basically lost sense of everything. I was still a capable guy. graduated in the top of my high school class etc. ...but I still had some things I had to figure out.

NOW that I understand these concepts and don't wrestle with the degrees of uncertainty anymore, I'm more able to basically overlook the crushing emptiness of the universe and basically use the system to my advantage.

I don't abide by rules too much. I use them as guidelines. I realize how societies work and how easily people can be manipulated. I understand how logic is used and how to express myself effectively. I understand how to generally get what I want now...all because I simply DO NOT GIVE A DAMN.

Now...you and I might not be the same, but trust me when I say I know what you're going through.

I suggest you hit up some forums or sub-reddits (via reddit) that cater to this sort of topic so you can reconcile some of the thoughts you have swirling in your head and figure out a way to cope and move forward.

You'll wish you had when you had the opportunity.

The real world sucks.

You need to be focused on getting paid.

I can already tell that motivation is difficult for you to muster, but you ain't gonna get what you want by not changing your routine.

I fux with you man.. Im trying to have that mentality.

But my situation is Ive gotten past any sort of nihilistic worldview.. I understand that life is nothing more then what you make it, & if you catch me in the right mood I come off as creative, ambitious, & focused... Ive got goals and ambitions

but at this point Ive missed out on crucial life experience.. Thats what Im worried about.

If I had realized this sort of stuff at age 15 Id be on the come up

 

[Larry Lobster]

you look like me, lol
im on the same situation, like theres no way out no motivation no shyt...
this guy Napoleon telling some truth though, it depends on you to change but i know its hard, im still trying

Thats the realest way to think about the world though. Much respect

At the end of the day all you can do is play the game & live it up.
