    The knowledge that I have to go to work for the rest of my life. Other people get to live remarkable lives, and I don’t. This is it. Forever.

      On the flip side, you earn as long as you work. Assuming you earn a decent amount, you can invest it into your hobbies

        Not impossible, but I’ve failed thus far. Most people do. There aren’t a lot of exciting jobs in the world and a lot of people who want them.

      Meh. Ikigai. Lagom.

      I have a job that, when I work it, gives me validation and food-money. I can do this forever. I don’t need more than the basic needs and a bit for special stuff. That’s enough.

    Looking at the world getting worse every single day and realising that so few people care that we’re essentially doomed unless some miracle happens.

      True, but revolutions usually take place by the few. I think that we just stopped discussing things with each other and just let things be. There will be no divine intervention I think.

    Climate change, and the associated realization that if I ever have children they will live in a world even more inhospitable than I grew up with.

    Currently I would say the fear of unemployment. Getting a good paying job is difficult day by day.

    Knowing I can’t ever afford my own house or afford to retire, but also that at some point I won’t be able to find work any more.

    Existing.

    everything about it is stressful.

    and the worst part, is there isnt even a valid reason for any of it to exist.

    It exists because greedy people want to exploit people who don’t have enough money, so they can have ever larger, utterly draconic hordes of gold.

    Air travel. I do it, I’ve been doing it all my life, but it’s basically a series of opportunities for something to get screwed up and waste your whole day, lose and/or destroy your stuff, end up stuck overnight in a smelly terminal with no food or bed, and maybe get puked on by someone’s baby or your junk grabbed by a dude in a fake police uniform.

    Alot of the serious things that people here already mentioned, unable to see a bright future for humanity. Cant afford a house of your own, etc.

    But another thing that affects me day to day is Seeing stray cats and dogs on the side of the road. They just make me sad and then i have the urge to help them. And then realizing that i cannot help them all.

    Devices that emit LOUD whistling/windy noise, such as a vacuum cleaner or one of those overpowered hand dryers.

    Other people’s problems. I myself don’t really have many problems that affect me personally that I have to deal with. I’m a fairly boring-ass person that takes care of shit as it arises, BUT there’s other people in my sphere of existence that all seem to have bigger problems (mostly self-inflicted). And their lives just keep getting worse as time goes on. I know I’m not responsible for their problems, but they’re close enough to my life that I feel the need to help when I can (usually in the form of $$$). If I were in the reverse situation though, if I suddenly had some big financial issue strike me (knock on wood), I’m pretty sure I coudn’t count on any of those people to help me out, I’d be completely SOL. Part of me wishes I could just disappear and go live somewhere as a stranger and lose contact with everybody.

      i think that you might wanna find out the reason behind the need of offering to help them. And when you find out, then everything will be just fine.
