Battling Nihilism. (self.MGTOW)

perpetuallyhighpoet が 投稿

The gnawing sense of meaninglessness has made life miserable for me, I cannot find pleasure in anything...I don't see a purpose, I had your standard plans...start a business, get married and have kids but suddenly it all seems so pointless...

I'm sure this is nothing new and most people must have experienced this feeling at some point in their lives, any advice for a 27 year old man trying to battle ever-creeping nihilism?

I'm 27 years old too, I've been having a very similar struggle as yours. I look in the mirror to find a meaning of my life everynow and then.

You won't find a meaning on a relationship, or a woman, or (necessarily, since family has been one of my biggest pilars in life, but still) family, or a job, or the things you have, or sons, the meaning, I think, is something you build for yourself with your own hands. You are the only one that has to live with you your whole life, and have to deal with your shit, doesn't that mean that you are entitled to find "a point" by yourself? That's my conclusion so far.

Me too. I'm beginning to think there is none.

Coming to terms with reality and swallowing the red pill (the cold harsh truth) that your life is pointless because what motivated you were merely societies expectations and pipe dreams, which will never come true, can be very hard on your psyche.

But after you stop lying to yourself you must realize that you have to change your focus from things you believed would make you happy to finding new things that will and can make you happy.

We have been conditioned that we must get a degree to find a good paying job in order to marry a loving wife and have a family. In other words to be a good little blue piller and walk through life like a zombie.

Now that you have pulled the plug? on that nonsense its for the first time that its up to you, and no one else, to make yourself happy and find a new meaning to life.

It can be quite overwhelming but it sure is the right thing to do for yourself. Build your confidence around your newfound knowledge and never ever look back.

If you think mgtow is something which will make you feel better about yourself after your gf dumped you then you are wrong. Short term maybe. But long term no chance.

Dude. Inspiration doesn come about through the daily routines and indulging in 'the helplessness blues.' You have to seek it out, create it, and challenge yourself. I don't say this to be patronizing or talk shit, but it is the reality of the matter. A wise man once said - the ony difference between a rut an the grave is the depth. It sounds like you are in need of change and new experience, but worth noting, this topic is far more nuanced and complex than your post or mine, so if you want to chat about it, hit me up.
