Could be both.
Likely both
I’ll be the judge of that. What are your data points?
1.) I could give two shits about what the internet thinks on any given subject.
2.) I am not movitivated to use the internet for fun things like gaming, anymore.
3.) I want to crawl into a hole and fall asleep forever listening only to the humming of a sweet old lady.
4.) I look into my own eyes and see nothing.
5.) … I dunno… I check the fridge for cheese more often then I check my own text messages.
6.) I took up smoking again and I don’t even feel bad about the possible slow torturous death of lung cancer that awaits me.
7.) If I hear a child I am instantly annoyed(please don’t hate me I don’t have any kids of my own)
8.)I cannot write any
Uninstall X, install newpipe
Idk 7 is pretty normal
You’ve got a real way with words. I really like number 3.
So what do you do for fun if not internet or gaming?? Read books? Lol (jk I like books, but they’re a more subtle fun)
I’mma go with number two for a sure bet, could be number one too, but number two for sure
A rollercoaster. It was dropping until the cheese thing, which I think is just normal, unspoken behavior. Sounds to me like a bout of depression, or at least what I think is depression. I 100% get the same lethargy to life, and it tends to come in waves.
If you haven’t, I’d look at having a chat with a professional. I’m not a good role model for this, but I have pushed through the lulls more times than I care to admit, and it gets tougher every year. The negative thoughts set in and create this negative feedback loop that makes functioning difficult, and digs a hole that’s hard to climb out of.
Anecdotally, if this is new to you, it doesn’t make for a happy life. I’m working to get help, but there are roadblocks. I would encourage you to try the same. If it doesn’t help, then you can cross that bridge later. If it does, then you’ll be in a much better place and the light will shine again.
…or the Internet really is just shitty.
I don’t want to fuck up your depression status or anything like that, but being this honest with yourself sounds sort of cool… in a way… you know?
It sounds like a beginning of something or… a wave.
I think it’s probably mostly that first thing. There’s only two-three websites I visit on the daily anymore. The rest isn’t worth it.
…wait, are one of those websites porn? Or are you forgetting about porn.
I may be forgetting about it.
Maybe we were all dead inside to begin with … and then we created an internet that offered nothing of value in return.
For half a moment, that shared nothingness created something new, but then they came and chopped it off into small, blend, mouth sized pieces that never make you full.
The internet is a lot less valuable than it was even just a couple of years ago. It’s considerably less valuable than ten years ago. That said, given your username and the laundry list in another comment, I’m going to vote “the problem is both A and B”. Seek help for B. Go outside more for A and B.
The internet itself offers immense value across nearly all facets of life. The three websites that everyone uses do not.
same
Define “the internet” though…
If you’re expecting “the internet” to fill your cup with joy then sure, that’s probably not going to work out.
That said, there’s plenty of good bits that make life a lot easier.
If you can’t find anything useful on the net that’s a ‘you’ problem. So probably option 2.
