What to do if world does not amuse you anymore?

If we take out the money for now. Then what do you like to do? What thing do you enjoy the most?

Like playing games, travel, sex or anything you like the most try to do that.

You should really go live in the jungle for at least a couple of weeks. It's one of the absolute best experiences I have ever had (wild camping). Just try to find a place with thick enough tree cover, like a rainforest. Which country are you in?

Libido, happiness and overall sense of well being skyrockets when in nature among thick tree cover for me. Just invest in some light weight shelter like a hammock and bivy (maybe an underquilt if it's cold where you are), and a badass water purifier like the MSR guardian. Pre load a device with books and other content you want to consume and take a battery bank or 2. Without internet, it's amazing how finally we can find the time to read and absorb things fully from start to finish again.

There is a lot of truth that can be observed through money, such as people's character and actions, and yes you can indeed buy a lot of happy experiences with it. But money itself is not real, it's something people made up. It's a very delicate and nuanced concept to understand. I can't think of an analogy off the top of my head easily.

Money is like the light that hits your cornea. Without this light, you can not perceive reality. But most people would agree that the light beams and particles themselves are not reality. Materialists will say the objects and things that emit or bend the light are the 'real things' and light is just radiated or bounced off of them.

So yes, you need plenty of money just like you need plenty of light hitting your eyes to experience life to it's fullest. But it's not the entirety or the actual truth of the experience.

Maybe there is no actual absolute truth and hunting for it is a vanity of man, but there sure as shit is more than just light beams and money out there. Some self reflection and introspection can't hurt, and I can't think of a better way to do it than in pristine rainforest jungle with very thick tree cover. Just be sure to take enough mosquito repellent and find a shelter/hammock that has a built in bug net, small thing can destroy your trip if overlooked.

I simply talk to Jesus Christ for Guidance

It wears off buddy. I never felt more alone, vapid, lonely and hopeless than after fucking a hooker whom I could not talk or connect with- when I was in an already low state.

Escorts are fun only if your life is already fun. Come to think of it this applies to all women. You can't expect them to come pick you up.

Do it. Life isn't about what makes other people happy. It's about what you do and what it means to you.

If world no longer amuses you , then you start to amuse the world and there is a lot of money to be made in amusing the world - though you may have enough money , atleast it will provide you some motivation to keep moving and as a by product you will keep making more money in the process.

Thats called anhedonia.

Repair ur dopamine receptors. Healthy diet, sleep hygiene and exercise. Take minerals, vitamins,...

Maybe you’ll have to relearn how to love things (and maybe yourself) again. Sometimes you can polish a turd.

Depression is caused due to stress, tension etc which is no where in my life. I am a stress free person.

My state of mind which you are calling it a depression, is actually called DETACHMENT OF THE WORLD.

As per wikipedia

" Detachment, also expressed as non-attachment, is a state in which a person overcomes their attachment to desire for things, people or concepts of the world and thus attains a heightened perspective. It is considered a wise virtue and is promoted in various Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism and Buddhism. It is also a key concept in Christian spirituality (often referred to by the Greek term apatheia), where it signifies a detachment from worldly objects and concerns.

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!

I think that all of us sometimes have such thoughts in our heads. The only question is how often that happens. Some people are more sensitive and such thoughts happen to them more often. I think it all comes down to the eternal question 'what is the meaning of life'.

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.

helping others is the way, specially your kids.. you see yourself in them

I think you need to find an alternative therapy for your problem. Not some psychology therapeutic methods.

you’re probably depressed. And I know you are cause I am. That’s subliminal depression for you my man. You never notice it (or believe it) until someone else is pointing it for you. Most of the time they’re right. Did my studies.

a few things that can help cope with it, is NOT doing specific things. Just roll with it.

I found out opening up Steam after a few good years and downloading some story driven games recently have helped me on the recent days being in a funk.

late night music and smoking is a good one. For me at least. It’s the things you’re subconsciously don’t notice that you need to keep doing in order to balance your “happy hormones” a little.

do spontaneous shyt. Now I find the smallest piece of trash annoying and a call for war start cleaning and shyt which helps not thinking about it.

try to be as spontaneous as you can. Just try for a few weeks.

BHW is an occasional thing going on as well while I play music and smoke mine.

put a baby in a bytch and after a year you’ll be willing to live another day

the word I was looking for is PURPOSE.

you might find life without a purpose meaningless.

I’ve seen this phenom in the past and recently on some random YouTube video. You’ve seen all these gamer communities? That’s the shyt right there.

But actually start interacting with people. Get as personal as you possibly can. I mean by using voice chat.

I enjoy like minded people on the side with similar hobbies of mine like admiring other producers’ beats and interacting on different medias etc. commenting and anything else..

Life without pain is no life, but life without a PURPOSE is just as much, if not even more

I can’t point you in a specific direction cause I’m not you but man I’ve lost what I cared for the most and here I am kicking it coming up with new ideas on the daily.

keep it easy and keep busy (I should’ve been trademarking it by now)

all the materialistic stuff is “just” a tool to allow you the freedom to do as you will. That’s about it

Once I was introduced with something new (like riders republic) it kicked me out for a moment and after an hour or two I got a mad urge to hit the Alt+F4 and do something more productive like creating content and new projects

Later on you won’t get enough of it.
That’s your purpose. It looks like your purpose was a comfortable life and you thing you achieved it all and now left with nothing else to do.

also on the biological level of things, your lifestyle and/or life events might lead you into a chemical imbalance in your brain.

And it’s literally happening to the most of us. It’s so damn common you don’t even realize it by the fact how normal it is and people just live with it on different levels.

your purpose can change at any time. Once, going at least 6 months back I’ve decided to join the freshnfit podcast midnight live. And man a comment here and there lead to the mods choking out laughing and actually influence the podcast dropping gems on the spot have served a purpose.

it’s not about you, it’s about life. Once you “go with the flow” you don’t realize you’re actually serving a purpose and contributing to the current event.

Be also about the people and the moment, not about what benefits you. You are your own enemy. It’s true. Don’t lose hope and get yourself into this vicious cycle.

ever tried working out? Give it a few tries and you’ll be amazed how effective is physical training to the brain
There’s quite a few reasons for it but we’re not getting technical here just try it

if you’re willing to point some type of direction like what are your hobbies, and interests etc. we’ll might help you

second time going too deep today I better stop here since it’s a public forum but think about it. You got an incredible community made of people from all over the world to support you.

This topic has a place in my heart so I had to try at least to comment something that might help
