Maybe you are right. Maybe this existence right here and now is all there is. I can't escape it if I'm honest. But if I use my logical mind then I can imagine that there are other people out there. Just because it is imaginary, does this mean that they do not exist? Yes, in a way it is comforting to think that nobody else exists. But if one uses one's mind, one can surmise that other people DO exist. Yes, again, I know it is imaginary. Even YOU are imaginary. But if I use my imagination very deeply then I can imagine that there are 8 billion others with their own imaginations too. And why not use my logical mind to give that idea some credence?

Shouldn't this be in the Spirituality bit.

I think you are maybe leaning into perfectionism here. There is no right or wrong way to go about things. Best advice anyone gave me was "do what you want"

There's a lot of passive aggressiveness on this forum. Only problem is, when I react with genuine anger I get temporarily banned. So I'm gonna shut my mouth and be passive aggressive like him

Yeah, that does sound better 👍

@LordFall no, my friend, like I said in the thread "what do you really want", I just want peace. Nothing special. If you live long enough, you realise peace is all you ever wanted.

@LordFall OK whatever. I'm not a doomer then. Just a simple man with no real identity, wanting to live a simple life with no one to bother me.

@Hojo I could easily get a girlfriend, my friend. But you are assuming I WANT one. Plus I'm clearly stating that I'm a positive minded doomer, contradictory as that might seem

@Hojo You seem to be quite insightful. But finding a girl is not a solution. Accepting yourself is the solution. In my experience, being in relationships brings misery, because absolutely no one is going to love you the way you want to be loved. So love yourself. Watch Leo's video on "the root solution to people pleasing and loneliness ". Also his video on self-acceptance.

@LordFall I suppose what I identified with in the doomer cartoons I was watching, was the simple way of life, smoking a cigarette here and there, drinking a beer, not trying too hard, not so much the pessimistic mindset. It's like i identify with the lifestyle, yet i'm not sad about it. i'm learning to enjoy it. call me lazy if you want, but i've found something special in my shitty little life.

I'm a cross between a doomer, a Christian/buddhist and a restful cube. Ha! Now I've found my identity.

when you've transcended humanity this made me laugh

@Hojo Mate, I used to have similar delusions of being watched. It comes from your desire for attention, especially since you seem to live quite an isolated life. With no one in the real world giving you love or attention, you may start to crave attention from EVERYONE. What you've got to do is give YOURSELF the love and attention you crave, at the same time realising and accepting that people are generally not that interested in you.

I see it differently. I've chosen acceptance of circumstances rather than frantically working towards anything. I'm more at peace now. When you accept things as they are, you start to see beauty in ugliness. That's where I'm at.

You're just trying to get back at me. You're a doomer too, admit it. It's wonderful being a doomer. We get to smoke cigarettes in our lonely apartments with no one to bother us.
