Staying positive in an era of constant demoralization

How do you stay positive in the current era where everything is purposefully made to make us as miserable as possible? Staying happy watching the twilight years of modern civilization as we culturally regress into nothingness. It is actually really agonizing at point tbh which is strange since this is the era of unprecedented luxury at the cost of meaningful existence.

It is rather fascinating overall but it is a large mental hurdle to overcome. A part of me wants to laugh at how surreal everything is but it stopped being funny like in 2021 maybe I dunno. I guess I feel this way since I fail to live up to my own standards of purpose, is that toxic or realistic?

It's like media for example, a simple luxury but in the current year every aspect of modern media is made to demoralize us and that feature is escalating rather quickly. A world where we are becoming more obsolete every day. Either replaced by machines or imported minority slave labor. A world where the family unit is beginning to disappear creating progressive generational violence.

It is rather challenging to feel anything beyond despair and ironic amusement no longer hitting like it used to.

Anyway, how do you cope to not tie the rope?

Discuss below.

I would've tried to come up with an honest answer if this whole thread didn't reek of Kremlin... *ahem* I mean political propaganda. Because of course, the only ones that seem so concerned about this imminent collapse of the Western civilization and its "family units" are the people who'd benefit from it the most.

"Day 29885: The Western Civilization is still falling (this time for sure!)"

Anyways, the world isn't that bad, and if modern media demoralizes you so much, then you should probably just stop consuming it.

I don’t know. I don’t. I just try to focus on other people. It’s easier to handle other people’s problems than my own or large scale problems.

I always enjoy for my life for what I got over worrying about what others do. Enjoying hobbies are a better way to spend your time than reading social media. Not everyone can do anything and that is perfectly ok. A lot of people get too focused on what they lack like money, relationships, looks, ect.

There is probably nothing we could tell you that your therapist didn't already tell you. And stop consuming media if you feel like that, I haven't watched news in months and I'm still alive, couldn't give less fucks on who is having a war with whom right now, not like me knowing it would change anything.

As @149597871 said it is another attempt to say that some era/civilisation/culture ends time to kill yourself... I wonder how Romans felt at 10th century aswell as in 15th century [in oversimplified version] how Polish and Lithuanian people felt in 18th century and alot of other fallen "luxurious" cultures which has ended.

There is nothing new, instead of focusing at whatever world/media view it is, better is to focus on micro/local/private life to make it better, world is as bad/good as others has created it.

My parents tried to demoralize me the dya before yesterday.. They compared me with my pathetic cousin who licked asses to get some job.. My parents say I'm the only one in the world who turned down a job of a government official and a assistant professor job..
I told them that it's not just me, madao did it before me.. But they told me to go back to my apartment..
So I boosted my mood by listening to this song on my way back while complementing random women in the streets and asking them out.. I got turned down when they found out I've no job..

i ain't reading all that but the better idea is to sleep it off and go outside in the morning, genuinely do not touch the internet or the news for a week. i guarantee you'll be better.
with all the constant droning negativity i see on a day to day basis i'm not surprised and this forum doesn't really help but you just need to learn to drown it out or shrug it off after a whil

anyway what's your favourite colour

If you have that weird paranoia that modern media is demoralizing you for whatever made up reasons... just don't consume it?

A world where the family unit is beginning to disappear creating progressive generational violence.

I wish that was satire but I know it isn't. The answer is always the same on your topics: don't project your own problems onto everyone else.

My experience is that nothing is ever anywhere near as bad/good as anyone makes it out to be. Don't concern yourself with the affairs of human beings, they exaggerate everything.

Getting off internet and doing things with your close circle of people, or just doing even mundane stuff solo where you still can find satisfaction after finishing it. Small things in everyday life are treasure.

Also imo society is just doing what society does. After stable period comes more unstable times and overreactions. That's just how it goes.

Just keep in mind that most of your dissatisfaction is likely fabricated by the market (media) and you might have an easier time ignoring it.

I relate to this statement in particular. I tend to have an ideal that, when I fail to meet, I can get pretty demoralized. Though I try not to as much as I can, because the more you think about it, the more it becomes a negative feedback loop, where you are so hyperfocused on meeting the ideal, and lose sight of what you need to do to actually get there. At least for me anyway. So, I'm going to try and just think less about it all the time

As for media aspect, I try not to get sucked into it. It's best to not let the fear porn consume you I think. Though easier said than done, since we have a bias towards negative information.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Early conversations - sure, but I'd honestly be shocked if "asking random girls out on the street on your way back home" shifts into a "what do you do for a living" discussion 100% of the time. I don't know, maybe it's a cultural thing, but it doesn't seem natural to me for the conversation to shift in that direction right away in that given scenario. I'd understand if it's an (o)miai or something like that where these things obviously matter.

I don’t exactly interact with people a lot but I personally have seen it from guys asking other guys more than I see it from girls. I think with girls they only bring it up when potentially dating is put on the table rather than just a casual chat with a stranger.

I've been reducing the distractions so I can devote more time to what I truly love. I asked this simple question - what is most important to me in life? Then, I started stripping away the things that weren't part of that. I'm not going to pretend I have some great success story - it's still a work in progress. But after rewatching my two favorite anime with no junk food, toxic politics or porn to dull my senses, I don't feel like I'm living in a daze anymore.

Not creative enough. If you don’t have a job you tell them some passtime you have that sounds like a job or is charitable.


Its just a fun pass time and I fully expect to be turned down by acting like a fool..

Why would you drive Honda when you have private jet?

Lambo, Ferrari or Rolls Royse seem more like fitting choice with that level of luxury.

I cope with it by learning history, and reading books from different ages. I tell you, it help you to realize that how meaningless, inflated and overreacted these "issues" are.
Is that realization itself not depressing?

It is life that is so bad so we turn to internet.

I have no explanation than just saying "that's just my way of being" because for as long as I remember real world doesn't phase me, it can be good or it can be bad but I just don't care, I will continue doing what I want

I look for positive news articles (progress made in human rights issues, environmental issues, animal species conservation etc.) and find small sources of joy. I have a cat and a boyfriend and think about how much my life means to them. If you don't have a partner could try thinking about any platonic relationships you might have too, friends/family. If all else fails I turn to fiction for escapism and think about my favorite characters a lot.
I'm also an artist so I use art to process feelings and give me a sense of accomplishment. Maybe you could try art or another hobby. You don't even have to be "good" at art to gain benefit from making it in my opinion, it's something anyone can enjoy no matter their skill level.

- Don't go on twitter
- Remove any doomer friends from your friendcircle and unfollow people who share doomer shit.
- Avoid the news
- Plan to overthrow capitalism and the government, while fantasizing how much better the world will be after you burn the existing system of unjustified hierarchies to the ground and make love upon it's ashes.
Life is more pleasure than pain. You have meaning so long as you choose to. Everything matters to someone.

Fine young thing said her name's Maria

A part of me wants to laugh at how surreal everything is


I just keep doing that lol.
I live my life without a care in the world because I know it won't help anyone, anywhere. So instead of focusing on what makes me depressed, I just live my life thinking about the little world that surrounds me since I still can.
I think life itself is the most comedic show ever.

Animanga's taught me to cherish my bonds with friends and stuff, so I've been trying to focus on that (friendship makes me happy)... too bad all my closest buds have moved away 😢
