  • Not to me, it just sounds normal. The reason people feel apathy is because there is a difference between expectation and reality that is very big for them.

    It’s the thought of “I need the world to be different for me to feel good” that is causing the apathy. You can change the thoughts on this and feel much, much better by being very grateful for having so much choice as a human being to find things you enjoy.




  • It’s from experience. Older people know this world well. Doesn’t matter what you vote for, power stays with corporations.

    Young people tend to believe you can change things by voting, which is naive and a bit cute.

    I used to feel apathy until I realized there is one thing I can control - me. I can choose to do fun things, replace bad friends with new ones, learn new skills, grow as a person. I can put my phone down and read books and stop watching social media and porn. I can change who I am right now. And I will feel good from doing so.

    The society will stay the same, but my perception of my life will be enjoyable, which is all I can actually do. You don’t have power over anything except yourself. Once you get that through your head, you understand how to not feel apathy anymore.

    Lol, you sound really angry. If you want to get better at this, you should probably remove your ego from the equation here and look at it objectively.

    I see a lot of anger from both genders these days on social media. Take a step back from all of that and date people who are not into all that shit. It will turn your brain into mush. :)

    Social media is harmful for you. It’s become even worse than the news now, since it’s actively targeting you with algorithms, trying to get you to be upset so you click around. It’s going to serve you the worst of humanity fighting eachother.

    Just touch grass.
