I thought about when people are on the bleaches screaming and cheering if the sound can move the ball while its in the air
usually leads into a spiral of depression because I realize I've actually had a pretty fucked up life

you don't deserve pain. nor do you deserve happiness. "deserving" is like a cognitive glitch. we need some kind of explanation for why things happen and so we go "i dont deserve to be treated this way" or "I deserve to have that" etc.
so your life consists of a lot of pain but that doesn't really mean it sucked (was undeserved, not worth it, etc) or any more or less of a life than anyone else's.
how was it fucked up, anon?

For me wikipedia really gets my juices flowing, its like watching a great movie.
I think my reward system is different as I get satisfaction when I read factual stuff on the internet. Sometimes I'll even stop mid fap to go look something completely unrelated up.

Feels good to be smart.

Yes places like Wikipedia or a good electronics datasheet instantly can make me lose interest mid fap.

Existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

Human relationships ideas. I don't want to get into it because I don't like making long posts.
>>25889269
human relationship ideas sounds like a category of things, not a particular problem.
don't talk about the solution, I'm just wondering about the things you approach.
I wonder a lot about objects and humanity, self and relationships (parent/child, siblings, extended family, friends, romantic partners, roommates, teacher/student, cashier/customer)
but the problems I look at deal with pain, especially how do I appreciate and hold pain in order to work with it since fighting it fucking sucks and doesn't work

Actually this has been proven to be true. The ball adjusts its trajectory due to sound waves pushing against it.
However the change is miniscule but science has proven it does move.
