What to do if world does not amuse you anymore?

Help people without getting any return. Find great mentality people who always help engage them. Do social work as possible. I'm 100% sure you feel happy and meaningful life.
 
No mate, that's what YOU WISH you had. Wake up, you're not a Buddhist monk.

The reality is cruel.

As I and several others have said, you have a problem with dopamine, dopamine production, dopamine receptors, etc.

Practice gratitude a few times per day. It should fix the neurochemicals really fast.

Depression doesn't come from stress or tension. It can be due to chemical imbalance, childhood trauma, and so on.

What you've described is clearly depression.

Please talk to your doctor. There is no shame in this. A lot of people have depression and it does not mean they are weak or damaged.

Good luck!

Sorry to say that western culture is not aware a bit about detachment and other related things. I am following the path of spirituality for many many years. Actually I wanted to get to this point of detachment for a long time. I have not got it there yet but very close. I know my state of mind better than anyone else.

I am actually very glad what I feel the way I am feeling these days. Only such state of mind can give you long lasting happiness.


Op, you have heard about "self realisation". Your life has brought you so far to that. Now it's up to you. You will never be happy without self realisation.

I will recommend that you read "I am that" by Nisargadatta Maharaj.

I have not only heard it but I am following this path for many years. This topic is very close to my heart.

What happiness? In OP you said nothing makes you happy. Now you are saying this will bring long lasting happiness.

It's ok to follow through on your beliefs, but if multiple people tell you you're drunk, perhaps you had one too many.

But sure, putting your head in the sand works too I guess.
 
If you have money feed the poor/homeless helping is the best feeling ever
This. 100% agree. Do your part, helping someone in trouble, and you will get a ton of satisfaction and self respect.
Cheers!

Joy comes from the simple things in life and helping others.

Also, doing digital detox and silent retreats are good for resetting dopamine levels.

Too much stimulation overloads your senses and makes it harder to find pleasure.

Life is not meant to be happy and ecstatic every single day. We are meant to be content and have inner peace every day with spikes of happiness and pleasure every so often.

Focus on finding your balance in life and being able to see the beauty in simple things.
