Is anybody else /doesntenjoyanything/ here? I used to really love a lot of things; guitar, trumpet, piano, singing, video games, shitposting, etc.
Now the only things I like are pizza, showering, and sleeping.
that's depression: a loss of interest in things one once enjoyed. get help.
>>24964997
Tbh the only thing that would help me is having a good friend. That isn't happening so I might as well give up.
>>24965034
You think you won't lose interest in a friend too?
Yes I can relate to that. I've got no hobbies and I can't even enjoy video games anymore.
>>24965034
>implying friends help
same situation bud
even with my friends I just think about how much fun I used to have being around them and how I want to be home alone
>>24965096
>>24965073
Well I the reason I'm depressed is because I only have one friend and I will probably lose contact with him after this year because we'll both go to a different university.
>>24965034
>>24965096
If you're actually this depressed then your friends will leave you pretty fucking quick, turns out anhedonia isn't appealing.
>>24965228
Well I wasn't depressed before I lost all of them so that makes no sense.
>>24964997
All they want is to push SSRIs down my throat and I'm not taking that shit. All spree shooters have antidepressants in their system.
>>24964973
I love pizza too! YUMMY YUMMY PIZZA! I can't live without my pizza!
>>24965268
I didn't say you needed to be depressed to lose friends you fucking retard. I said being depressed is a quick way to lose friends.
>>24965127
How long have you known him? After a while it gets old having a friend who gets gfs, jobs, while you just stay the same.
Or are you the mooch friend who can't drive and never has any money, and can't do anything without friends/parents?
>>24965228
>>24965268
It makes sense to me. I had a fair amount of friends before I started to slip into depression and they left one by one until only my best friend was left, and he's gone now too.
>>24965320
I'm 18 and I have enough money and a job. I don't have my driving license yet but he doesn't either. I'm not changing that much but he isn't either desu.
>>24965371
Maybe he's depressed too?
>>24965382
Nah he isn't, he's a normie and he has a shit ton of friends. That is kind of the problem, I'm just another friend to him while he's all I've got.
>>24965398
Ah shit, I know that feel bro. When my best friend was all I had left he would hang out with me once in awhile out of pity, but that's it.
>>24965321
That's oddly similar to my situation, seeing all of my past friends doing better without me hurts.
>>24965447
>>24965445
So did you guys fix your lives in the end? Or did you end up with no friends at all. I'm fucking scared ;_;
>>24965034
Well, that's your answer. You're lonely. Have you asked yourself why you are lonely?
I can give a generic advice, if you will listen.
Stop masturbating to pornography. Do masturbate, by all means. But stop wasting hours surfing pornography. It literally makes your brain apathetic.
Secondly, start exercising. I don't care if you run, bike, swim, or do jumping jacks on your floor. See /fit/ if you need inspiration or guides for working out indoors.
It's scientifically proven that it's difficult to kick a habit simply by ceasing that activity, while it is comparably easier to kick a habit by responding to the impulse of the habit with another habit. So whenever you feel like watching pornography, take a work out session instead. If you still feel like masturbating after the work out session, then do so. You'll be surprised by the results.
>>24965371
Oh I get it. All my friends would always just ask me for rides and I come from a rich family, and my friends were poor.
Still think friends are overrated, though.
>>24964973
I don't even enjoy fapping anymore, I just cum as quickly as possible to get it over with. That's if I can even be bothered to do it at all.
Not sure if I really want a gf. I just want a reason to live beyond feeding my pleasures which aren't even enjoyable anymore. Doesn't stop me wishing.
I'm just waiting to die to be quite honest family.
>>24965485
Um, well if you become a wageslave like me (OP), you'll make some work friends. I've just started asking anybody to hang out that I talk to at work. Last night I hung out with a gay guy at work, was afraid he would try something but he knows I'm straight and we just chilled, was better than being alone at my computer. Hung out with another guy that turned out to be somebody that casually abused his dogs (just started punching them right when I walked in, wtf).
So yeah, you don't get to be around the best people but there are people that are willing to chill with you.
>>24965509
-I literally only fap maybe twice a week.
-Considering I don't have a car I ride my bike atleast a few hours a week, used to play football but I quit.
How will this stop me from being lonely though, it won't give me any new friends.
>>24965485
0 friends, plan on dying within the next year. The issues with my spine & brain aren't worth working out.
Things might end better for you, though.
>>24965284
>All spree shooters have antidepressants in their system
Because your fucking body produces that shit. Antidepressants just make it so yours are on the same level as a normie.
>>24965581
Um no, your body does not produce zoloft. In the most basic way of explaining it, what SSRIs do is make serotonin "stay in your system" longer than normal.
>>24965545
Well I'm asexual so if having friends is overrated what is left? What other reasons to live could I have?
>>24965568
You're right; it won't.
>>24965552
How about this guy's advice? If you work or study, at least you'll meet other people. Or, if you live in a city, you could join a local amateur choir. They're always looking for new singers, especially men.
>>24965719
I do work but the people I work with don't really seem interested in being my friend. There is only one who is around my age anyway. I'm going to university next year, I have no idea what to expect, do you get a chance of meeting new people there?
>>24965666
Skydiving, Scuba diving, traveling, drugs, food, vidya. Friends are just people. What do you require friends to do in life?
>>24965780
A lot of chances. It can definitely be your chance to turn your life around. You should start working out to either a) lose weight; b) gain muscle; or c) both. It will make your life trajectory about 100 times better than it would've if you don't. Look up starting strength and get to it bro.
I seriously wish I knew at 18 what I now know at 24.
>>24965844
If I started working out now I think I wouldn't even want to get on my bike to get there to be honest.
I honestly don't even understand what is going on atm, I dont know whats wrong with me.
I'm pretty average looking, not ugle at all, I'm not fat, my social skills aren't bad, but for some reason I can't get / keep friends.
Even people I have a lot in common with, people often think I'm funny and a nice guy but they never stick around.
I'm just so confused.
>>24965844
what do you know now that you didn't at 18?
>>24965581
Next you'll be saying that DMT is produced naturally in the brain... What a crackpot.
>>24965973
>Even people I have a lot in common with... never stick around.
>I'm just so confused.

What's worse is when you find yourself involuntarily pushing away people that care. I hate myself for it.
Where did the last year go?
>>24966379
Fuck man, I know what you mean..
>>24966151
Women only care about looks, work out and eat right. Looks/fitness make guys like you and respect you more than usual. Don't take shit from ANYBODY, so learn how to fight. College is more about networking than learning anything. The only thing that employers care about is your general likability. Charisma is underrated. Don't do drugs, nothing good comes from them, and nothing you learn on drugs is worth more than learning sober. Probably some more shit, but those are the first things that came to my mind.
I'm just too tired to do anything anymore
>Got to uni
>Tryhard it for 4 years
>All of my friends are gone
>None of my hobbies interest me anymore
>Don't get excited anymore
I don't even have enough money to continue my education
>Only things I enjoy anymore are anime, sleeping, and fapping
>Can't fap because antidepressants
>Can't nap
I'm actually okay with this. As long as I have anime, I'm fine.
