This question reminds me of when I first realized that in the grand scheme of the universe nothing we do matters in the slightest. Not even my first existential crisis either. Looking back on it, accepting the intrinsic nihilism of life is really the least stressful thing I've ever had send me into a depressive slump.

School was a monumental waste of a childhood. Then unis. Now work. It all sucks.

Looks at everything. Looks at the sun expanding. Looks back at everything.

Yes, I do believe so

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

Just about everything I've ever done.

Some friendships be like that. Usually it's the case of me going out of if my way to help... Only for then to purposefully make terrible life choices.

Examples,

He was just out of jail and wanted to get on track. I got him a place to stay, a job, I even personally moved him (like drive, picked up his stuff), and got him an interview with the college. The choice, fuck his perole! Drinking, meth, and knowingly getting a warrant for arrest (to impress the ladies... And it worked) was way better.

The list for her, would be too much as we knew each other for like 28(?) years. She's a mom of a disabled teenage daughter. She thought it was a great idea to get into a relationship with someone she knew was a convicted child predator. I just cannot abide. (I called CPS)

Oh totally. I was going for the pun. “Only to feel that it’s pointless…” womp womp

[-] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yes. Work is that useless investment of time.

Fitting in society. I might as well say society doesn't fit in with me.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

How did that one go? Being well adjusted to an ill society is not a good thing.

Yes.

My anxiety beast says hi.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Nope. I usually drop it well before that. Then go back to it for a few minutes or a day. Then drop it again. Rinse and repeat

[-] geoffreyconley@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Absolutely every day... Sadly. Maybe it's just my anxiety and ADHD. But yes.

[-] krishnamurti@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Oh ya know, just being alive

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Almost every job I had prior to realizing I need a work life balance.

[-] DaDragon@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

Most things I do ;)

Nothing is pointless. Everything is temporary.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Everything is pointless, everything is temporary.
