Comes and goes. I think people underestimate how much we benefit from human interaction. WFH takes a toll. We sit in a box and press buttons all day now. Not exactly a fulfilling existence.
I completely understand. I don’t have a solution other than the cliché, but you’re not alone. The advice I’ve heard is plan things that you look forward to or set goals. Could be a trip or a fitness goal. Also, I finally bought a fun car 😂 that helped a bit
Sometimes it’s situational, others it’s the luck of the draw with brain chemistry. I used to be happier, now it’s meh most days. The world deadened some of my receptors, but I mostly know I’m lucky.
Same. I’ve tried talking about it to friends. But, I think it’s hard for them to process. They’re all married, engaged, having kids, or buying homes. I, on the other hand, I’ve had the same life with no major milestones passed for the better part of a decade.
So, I feel like my life is a made-for-TV version of Groundhog Day. Every day, every week, every year is more or less the same. I’m not unhappy. I’m just not particularly happy. How could I be, though, when it feels like my life is stuck on repeat?
This is exactly where I’m at. I struggle to talk about it with friends because 1) my friends from home aren’t the people you talk about that with and 2) my 2 best friends would sympathize, but they wouldn’t understand. They’d probably respond with “you’ve got a cool job and a nice apartment! A lot to be proud of!”
It’s not that I’m not grateful, it’s that I’m not happy. I have moments of happiness, but overall i feel like I’m stuck in this mundane life. I’m far from depressed - I’m just bored and frustrated.
I’ve tried finding things I enjoy. I joined a new group fitness gym I love; i try to travel when I can…i love to cook, especially during summer…hopefully that can shake it a bit
I feel similar but different. I just made an exciting major life change and there are some great things happening but I'm in a soul crushing job and it's tamped down my ability to feel joy. Been this way for the last several months. Its upsetting because I'm such an upbeat person in general and I should feel all ecstatic about all these amazing things but instead I feel sad that I can't feel happy. Not sure that made sense. I know I need to leave the job because I don't like this version of me. Sorry to add my confession to yours, it just struck a chord.
yeah :( i'm in the same boat
