Something’s not right

Existential something.

MirCasual Contributor

Existential something.

I have zero motivation to continue with society at all, and no means to leave it. It's exhausting.

Re: Existential something.

Hi @Mir and welcome to the forums.

That is a really difficult place to be in, though I know that it's one that many of our members can relate to.

I'm curious, what does continuing with society look like for you, and what would it mean to leave it if you were able?

Re: Existential something.

Continuing with society feels like being forced to watch a horror film I never consented to viewing. To be in a prison I had no say in constructing. An hour by hour and day by day confrontation with chronic systemic powerlessness.

If I genuinely believed or thought there was somewhere better or to go, I would...or would at least be able to construct/allow the illusion of that journey/goal/destination to embed itself my mind.

I miss innocence...even, ignorance.
