Like you’ve seen everything and now you can only experience things you’ve already experienced.
No, not at all. I’ve travelled extensively (maybe 75 countries) and had reams of wild experiences, but I’ve not seen a fraction of what the world has to offer.
Nah, I wanna fly a plane. Apparantly depression make you ineligible for a pilots licence… 🤷♂️
Also the bad eyesight probably isn’t gonna make it easier to fly a plane (I have to wear glasses all the time, and I’m too scared for lasik)
As morbid and fucked up as it is, I kinda wanna experience like civil war and just see what coups/revolutions looks like, I mean I’m kinda suicidal anyways, might as well experience something unique.
I wanna see humans land on mars, then permanent colonization and settlement of the moon and mars. Maybe even travel there.
Idk, like I’m just depressed and bored, and no movie or TV show is interesting… 😕
Regarding the depression. As long as you are conscious about it and have had therapy for it, just lie. Lie to become a pilot if it’s really your dream. You know yourself if you are going to be able to learn and drive it.
Imagination needs expanding. I’m furious I only have a short windows to explore the world And I’m trapped under financial limitations.
Yes and no. There’s always new ways to experience things. I just saw a great concert last night. I knew all the songs, but the presentation changed. People are always creating.
No. I’ve completed my personal bucket list though, so I’m never in a great rush to do things these days.
Hell no, not even close.
Quite the opposite. My two main hobbies are tabletop roleplaying and spending time in nature and both of those have an experience space that can’t be explored fully in one lifetime.
I’m often even confused when people seem to think they need to travel far to gain new experiences and I haven’t even fully explored the nature just outside of my apartment.
you haven’t sucked 4 dicks in a row
I don’t think I will. I’m boring in bed.
I’ve only been to 8 countries, so no.
I been traveling for a long time. The magic is gone, McDonald’s is global. All the woman try to look like Kim Kardashian. All the men wanna drive the same cars and wear the same designer clothes. They all peddle the same corporate constructed music. Everyone watches the same shit on Instagram/TikTok and goes and stands in lines to take a dumb ass selfie. Everyone speaks google translate. Now excuse me I need to google map a restaurant for dinner.
lol, you aren’t traveling to the right places or something, or I think more likely you’re depressed if you feel this way.
There have always been trends and conformity throughout human history. 🤷♂️
My guess is that you have significantly exhausted the extent of your interests and common interactions. It happens.
That’s to say, for example, you’ve read, seen, discussed, etc. almost every sci-fi series in existence. There’s some you haven’t interacted with but you would have hit the new ones and all the significant older ones. In which case there’s really nothing left for you to consume besides minutiae/very small things (you ran the well dry).
The same can said for interactions with people. You’re having the same conversations you’ve had before. Sure some of the specific details change but the core remains the same.
If this at all sounds right, I’d suggest expanding your interests and social circle. For interests, I’d suggest something close to your current interests and look up the highest rated components of that interest to look into. Using the Sci-fi example, fantasy may be a good place to look and Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Mistborn, etc. maybe be good places to start.
For people, expanding your social cycle can be tough. If you haven’t already you can try and pair an interest of yours with a group that focuses on that. Example could be RPG gaming and joining a Table Top RPG group. Another option is taking classes in a new interest. You’ll likely meet new people with a similar interest as you. Another option is volunteering. There’s lots of organizations or mutual aid societies out there that would welcome additional members. That’ll give you new people to talk to while helping others (win-win).
Regardless, best of luck with everything :)
Sounds like the dunning-kruger effect. You think you seen it all because you don’t know what you don’t know.
This post made me think it would be good if there was a community where people could post about “stuff to do”, eg join a local amateur soccer team, here is how leagues work, here is how you find a club to play for, can anyone play, are there min/max ages on teams, are teams split by gender, what is the social scene like, etc etc. Kind of like an AMA but focussed on things people can do if they need an activity/hobby/sport/place-to-meet-new-friends. There’s probably heaps of scenes I don’t even know about, or don’t know how to get involved in.
I think most in this thread are missing the point. It’s not really about specific knowledge, it’s about day to day existence and entertainment. The average person isn’t deep diving any topic, but nevertheless seeking the next dopamine hit becomes harder and harder and you’ve seen every core day to day thing by like age 20 which you must then rehash for another 60 years. I get the sentiment.

OP, just how wealthy are you? This is a very rich person assessment to make.
I make $700 a week at Amazon and $200 a week with DoorDash but I still don’t have my own apartment. On the plus side I have several months of expenses saved so I can take days off anytime (amazon is flexible as hell) but I really need to live alone where I can optimize my life for maximum peace and receive mail in my legal name. I really want (and need) to live in an apartment close enough to my warehouse that I can walk, bike, or ride public transit for less than 30 minutes. Preferably riding a bike or escooter in the early afternoon like whooooooosh
I’m not broke but I’m not ultra I Can’t See The Ground From My Window And My Dog Is My Alarm Clock rich. Not yet anyway, I will not stop trying to make money until I live in a multimillion dollar palace in the sky with like 10 bedrooms that are all mine, my animals’, and my husband’s.
Tl;dr I make $700 weekly and more if the stars align
You haven’t even bought a house.
Seen everything, my ass. You’re fucking bored, go do some shit.
Do what? All my hobbies feel like unpaid work and actual work feels like the last remotely fulfilling thing in my life.
Zen mind, Beginners mind
Is that any of that meditation nonsense that shit just backfires and makes me ruminate more
Sounds more like youre spinning wheels than experiencing life. Maybe you should try that. Go muddin, spin some wheels, hang out with your inner child, be your true self, buy some guns, overthrow the government, write a book about it and get laid in the garden.
A card game is still a card game. Slight variation on the rules doesn’t make it dynamical better or new and exciting. I suppose if your easily amused "look this king has a sword that he is cutting his head off with. " “It used to be an axe you know.” And I found a profound amount of joy in that.
What percentage of people do you think on earth have the magic glass connecting them instantly with each other and their shitty lowest common denominator ideas? Of the people who don’t have the magic glass, I’d still wager they are all very similar: hunt, gather, shelter. So I will agree there are two archetypes. Magic glass slaves and people who only have time for survival. Tear the blindfold back face reality all humans are the same, or take the blue pill and wake up in your bed… Also you think a guy named alcoholic could be depressed lol in this world I’d imagine that is the correct state and perhaps we are over prescribed happy pills and pushed distractions to keep society fat dumb and “happy”.
People only with time for survival often have more spare time than magic glass people.
Idk buddy I never seen a fat survival person, I think that is a harder life than you think. Just because they have to rest doesn’t means it’s relaxing.
Yes, you probably should get some therapy about it.
