Incoming blog post type thingy, will post in spoiler just to tldr it for some of you lazy ones out there. If you don't care, just don't post. I don't really care if you do though to be a rebel or whatever.
Warning long read
Just shit day to day throughout my life I go to school, come back tired, and then I have to either deal with internet issues or there's some stupid internet drama going on or whatever. Been listening to a lot of music lately and its felt more of an escape than the internet has. I've also been playing less video games since I got my guitar and spend more time learning and playing the guitar as much as I can, in someway its kind of a good escape. I don't really have many friends left irl so I'm pretty much just a total loner and an introvert. I'm not one that's likely to just go outside with a group of friends to some kind of bar or party or movie or whatever. People of my age and my generation have too much energy and tend to do stupid shit. On top of that you have life expenses as an adult where you gotta pay for a lot of shit. Internet, Food, Water, Electricity, Credit Card, etc.

At least I'm not alone and paying those and I still live with family and help out because I would not be able to survive on my own at all, you're always better off surviving as a group either with family or roommates, and I don't really have anyone that I would know to join up with a roommate. Getting and keeping a job out here is probably another pain in the ass, I don't know about other states but here in California, you either gotta know someone really well to get a job or you just need to get lucky. I'm attending a job fair on the 29th on campus but honestly I'm not fucking stoked about it at all. I just got back from the game development club. Our leader is hanging in there since he had surgery 2 weeks ago in the ER so he needs to take medication and shit for that, but he showed up today and was there briefly and we already are in stage 1 in development of our project, the programmers are already getting to work on the programming and we're busy having sketches and mockups of the characters of the level and what the player is going to do and how we are going to incorporate and implement our mechanics into the engine, so that's where we are with that.

I'm not the least fortunate, its not like I live in a poverty ridden area or in Africa where there is hardly anything to eat, but its still not easy. Let's just say the middle class and the 1% have it better than I do. One of the hardest things in life for me is finding contentment. I look around today whenever I'm out and looking at the people that pass by me or as I pass by them, I just feel like society itself is going downhill and heading into a direction that I won't be able to understand. Society has already been problematic to begin with but now with this new age of technology where everyone is just hooked and constantly looks at their fucking phones, we feel disconnected.

Even forums in general... I feel like that downhill of things taking the wrong turn is also on here. We already know that Modern Chivalry is pretty much dead and everyone is a fucking jerk to one another, but as a whole I feel like we've lost a lot of human decency and have progressed to be either really desensitized to violence or too offended and too pussy about it to handle any of it, there's no direct balance.

Maybe I'm just really tired right now as I'm writing this considering the sun might have fried my brain to an extent since its really fucking hot outside and I just can't think clearly or put any incoherent thoughts together right now, but I'm tried of being alive.

One of these days I'm hoping I go to sleep and I never have to wake up, never have to go online to anything, never have to go to school, never have to find a job, never have to eat, never have to deal with people's crap, whatever you wanna call it. Even though my suicidal tendencies have significantly decreased after my breakup, living is still a bitch. Its not so much that I want out of life, I just want fucking contentment. Sad truth is we will never have a utopia. Takes one asshole to ruin everything and the rest of the world becomes fucked by default. I still think there should be class and decency in moderation, but seeing the direction this world is heading towards, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

You know the whole terrorist attacks that occurred in Belgium, Paris and whatnot? That really pisses me off. I'm genuinely upset by that kind of shit and its people who were just living their lives like us only to lose them. It just comes to show how easy life can just be taken away from us, and it makes me question what the point is to be even alive anymore if we're just going to die at some point or get murdered by some Islamic fuck as a sacrifice to his piece of shit Allah or whatever the fuck this shit is. I don't like extremists of any kind, they make the world fucking toxic and add more fumes to an already toxic world.

So why live? What can I do? What the hell is my purpose to be alive for? To annoy people or to be the biggest laughing stock to the species? Because lately that's where I've feel like I've been. I'm just tired of everything, the internet, real life, existing as a whole, at least existing like this spending 23 years of your life in the same city in the same state with the same people never being able to take a vacation or have enough money to go anywhere fun at least.

I guess no matter where I go or what I do, there is no way for me to escape from myself. I'm stuck. Everything else is just a distraction. Oh and seeing a therapist about this shit makes it even more depressing than it should be, I've been rather jaded since the breakup and its really hard for me to give my trust to someone, especially if it someone I don't really know.

Even my fucking dreams when I'm asleep are a lot more exciting than in the reality I live in.

So is anyone else just tried of living this life or am I the minority?

It certainly feels that way. Things that used to make me happy don't anymore: video games, books, movies.

holy mother of god i clicked the spoiler and my eyes hurt from that. but in all seriousness, im fine with life, i just joke about killing myself with friends and well, i got nothing to complain about besides the school stress this semester and shit. i mean, unlike last year or so when i got super depressed but i somehow managed to get out of it with few bumps along my time until now. i got great friends, am getting an interest in someone, and well, im alive to continue pursuing something i wanna do to help society in some way.

itll get better. every minute is precious in a life as short as this.

Already traveled through the world quite a bit. I used up most of my flight miles already, so no fun excursions.
:/

School is ight, but my friends like to drink and play video games quite a bit. I am growing tired of seeing underage individuals from the lot drink until toasted. I brought a $150+ dollar of Cognac to the party and the curs mixed most of it with Dr. Pepper/Coke.

Sorry I just had to write everything in the OP down where people could read it, but yeah my mind is a mess.

I don't know if it will get better or not though. I feel like that isn't entirely up to us to dictate. Certain circumstances can prevent that.

I think the most important thing for you is to stop being so concerned with the external. Whether it's these big social issues or just people's opinion of you, you let factors outside your control drive your emotions and temperament. This might sound cliche, but all this talk of contentment in the OP - you just have to be content with yourself, not the world around you. Keep working on your music; keep trying not to succeed, but to be happy. If someone is bringing you down, don't spend time with that person. Not having friends can suck, but it's even worse to be in a toxic group of friends. Self-esteem is huge when it comes to being content with yourself and your life, and the less external shit that's bringing you down, the better you'll think of yourself.

In short, fuck all of these things you can't control; ignore them or remove them. The outside world doesn't matter, and people who are quick to judge are the ones who especially don't.

I know I give you a lot of shit for this but at least you're trying to coexist with this fucked up reality. Me, I'm just at the point where I'd be happy to find a wormhole to another reality that is hopefully better than this one.

You have a very valid point. Its amazing how much shit can change in like 5 years though. When I was 18 I was very cocky and confident and I felt like I had everything figured out. Now at 23 I no longer feel that way. I've lost a lot of confidence with myself. I can still mask it and talk to people in real life just fine, but with everything else its just really hard to go back to where I once was at 18. I guess when you're young you don't really think about a lot of these things until it really gets to you. I may have been smart at 18 sure, but going back I'd like to say the younger I was, the more foolish and stupid I was too. Each year as I get older I feel like maybe I'm getting wiser, but at the same time I'm not really able to go anywhere in life right now. Its a struggle that I'm fighting to have. Its not so much that I want to be successful in life, I'd want that without a doubt, but its how I approach that success is where I'm stuck and it doesn't lead a guarantee to contentment.

I also have a bit of a conflict between making music and games now, because originally I wanted to be a musician since I was 14, but there are reasons why I decided not to go full with that path and keep it as a hobby, music has a lot of rules to follow and I have failed at following most.

The combination of the two, being music and software as helped me to a degree, but yeah. I still want to make games too but I just feel like I'm opening a new door to a never ending limbo. What also doesn't help is having a former bully from middle school be in your club.

Every day. The important thing is to find something that matters and keep pushing for it.

For me it's the boys.

Well you're in a forced situation since your bitch of an ex wife decided to fuck another man. I don't know how you manage to cope with that. I would not be able to handle that well if it happened to me.

Don't sell yourself short. You would be surprised at how you rise to a situation. For me there simply isn't a choice.

I don't know man, me being called a loser my entire life, well at least in elementary and middle, it just makes trust really hard for me in general. Trust takes years to earn and only seconds to destroy. High school nearly everyone was crazy and did fucking drugs. College is tame out of all of them but its not entirely getting me anywhere.

I don't know how I manage to go through every tough situation I've been through. There are times where I'm surprised that I didn't commit suicide and give up. Maybe its because there is a part in me that wants to keep living but in a good light. Shit is hard to explain. Wanting to live positive in a fucked up world. Maybe we all crave for that escape here, I mean its one of the reasons why we have forums like this right?

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

You do.  You're feeling this way because you either don't have a plan or you aren't passionate about the plan you have. People need an objective. It's what defines us. Spend some time thinking about what you could be passionate about and start working to get it

You need a long term goal to work towards.

Effort without passion is toil.

Either that or I've just been out of it lately. I've gone so far in wanting to make games though, I don't want to just throw that all away. Its not that I don't enjoy it at all. Just... the way life has been lately, makes the things you enjoy meaningless.

Life has these moments. Valleys between tge peaks. What defines you is how you start climbing again.

Pick three goals. One for the end of the week, one for the end of summer and one for the end of the year. Have them be something exciting. And work for those. Focus on them.

Of course. They have to be achievable. But, they have to be big enough to get excited over.

Example: Al Baghdadi and I are setting a goal to go to Hawaii in July. We don't have tge funds yet, but we know we can. It gives us a reason to work a little harder.
