    In this video, we reflect on the feeling of feeling less. Throughout points of life, and perhaps all of life after a point, we may find ourselves feeling like we will no longer experience joy or have fun again. But like the seasons, this can pass, and we can still harbor strength and life through and in spite of this coldness.

      I believe most people feel like they are just surviving, especially now with all the doom profiting on the internet, especially social media makes people very anxious.

    I’m 65 and have watched the decline of society, (so accelerated in the last 5 years). The loss of joy in people, the indifference and disrespect all around me, the addiction to tech, the end of communication between people and the loneliness that happened once social media took over. The world has changed and become very dark. I don’t recognize it anymore. It used to feel so magical. I miss feeling alive. I decided to go to my neighborhood park recently. At night. Left my cell phone at home. They have an old fashioned swing set, put there in the 1940’s. I started swinging like I did when I was a kid. Going higher and higher and leaning back to look at the sky like I did when I was a kid. I was not alone. There were others there swinging. A few old and a few young. We were all just reaching for life again. It was beautiful.

      I'm 31 and the world is a cold and lonely place now. Growing up everything felt more vibrant. Knew everyone in the street, regular parties, riding bikes and exploring the bush with the neighbourhood kids. No one does that anymore. Everyone lives insular lives and so much time is spent at work/thinking about work/recovering from work and you never really see people, maybe a quick wave as they drive out in their car. Life has become so lonely and unsatisfying..

      I think there is an even greater sense of fulfillment lurking in the world where you no longer live life for just yourself, but to contribute something great. Perhaps even make considerable, painful sacrifices. It may not be enjoyable but the line gets blurry between that deep sense of joy in the midst of pain and suffering where it's hard to define real happiness. But it seems like, for most people who went through it say that living a meaningful life was worth the sacrifice. When you help others, you become closer to the image of good. It's not a leap everyone can make immediately, but it seems like real fulfillment after you have handled what you need for yourself.

      ​@ErenYeagerOfYmir Giving to others can get you to this bad place too, though. As a parent, teacher, and coach who has sacrificed and given every ounce and minute to others, I can tell you that it will burn you up. Very few people are grateful or appreciative- most don't notice and many along the way will complain and attack you for not doing it the way they want. It's becoming thankless, meaningless, excruciating work.
      There needs to be a balance. Balance between material wealth, spiritual and emotional wealth, personal striving and giving to others. As a society, we are very unbalanced because we no longer balance each other out like back before cable news and internet we just validate and magnify our own silo of belief, and we become less balanced. The decrease of religion and virtue, and increase of entertainment and vice has also gotten us here.
      We are sick, from top to bottom, more every day.

      I retired last year after 30 years in Law Enforcement, 3 years with Immigration and 27 years as a DEA agent. I did not see as much as patrol officers or homicide detectives but I saw enough, and I saw some different things about the system that have made me think a lot of things are a complete joke. I watched the world slowly crumble year after year, and the efforts of those to maintain some semblance of order and prosperity get pushed aside, by the public, politicians, and businesses in an ever more mad dash by too many people make money and gain power at any cost, even as it destroys them and everything they touch. I was happy to retire, it was time, but I think it was a career well spent, lots of good memories and lots of good friends. This year was rough, it seemed life waited to dump a bunch of things on my just as I was retiring which made my life chaos. I still feel like I haven't retired because I am always having to fix thing and deal with issues, but I am slowly getting things worked out. It helps I keep in contact with my friends from work, many who have retired, and work out, exercise, and eat better. I too would love to go back to being more innocent and naive. So I keep moving forward. I worked my whole life for something, making plenty of sacrifices along the way, I'm not giving up now. I still find so many things interesting and learn so much every day. I have realized that I need to break old habits, I don't need to the follow routines of old, I can do what I want to a much greater degree now. I try not to dwell on things I can't change and try to enjoy the time I have on this earth that is left to me regardless of the things I know and have seen. I know what is the worst thing that can happen, we all do, but in knowing that its easy to forget all the good things, big and small, that are there are still left. A good meal, family and friends, a good show, a good laugh, a beautiful day, and so many other things still left to enjoy in life. Raise your head up high, take a deep breath, you did good. That part of life is in the past now, don't forget about the life that is still in front of you, the one you worked all those years to enjoy now.

The thrill, the zest and eagerness to experience and live this life feels like it has faded, nothing excites me as it once did, I get bored of things so quickly, nothing really holds my attention anymore, I pick up a song and quickly drop it out of boredom, I give up on something so easily because it's too difficult and the chances of success so low. I guess in a way I have become the embodiment of nihilism, life has just been too difficult these past few years that it really has done a number on my psyche, radical shift in my thinking and views on life

      I have also done that, but in my experience neglected emotions come back even stronger than when I shut them off. It is only recently that I learnt that recognizing and acknowledging the emotions is what make them pass. It is so important to not judge oneself for what you are is feeling, but accept and respond to the emotion with kindness. Therapy in a Nutshell has amazing videos on how to process emotions.

      I've always known that most people are idiots to various degrees, it's just that when you're younger you have the energy to seek out people who aren't idiots. By the time we're in our fifties and sixties, if we've been disappointed by enough people we put our trust and faith in, we give up. Special and interesting people are rare, and unfortunately they often don't have the space or time for us in their lives, which is their loss as well as ours.

      I lost my Dad, too, about 2 years ago. He was my mentor in the trade I work in. I had to move away because we couldn't get along working together everyday. Once I moved 3 hours away, we had holidays and other great times for decades. He grew old and passed suddenly and we kids were left to sift through his belongings. We had never experienced a time when we couldn't reach him to ask him things. There was a huge void in our lives, which we try to fill for one another. I had never experienced the level of grief that I had after losing my Dad. I found that grief was weird and painful and inappropriate and very unpredictable. Things are getting a little easier as time passes. The amount of time between feeling the need to speak with him or see him or think about him gets a bit longer with each month. My Dad equipped us kids with the skills and confidence to carry on without him. Reading your comment here makes me wonder if your Mom equipped you with that confidence and necessary skills. I say that without judgement or criticism, only compassion. I have a very sweet hound dog named Bingo. He's peculiar in many ways. One of the most striking ways is that he can be in a room full of people, about 20 or so and be quite content. Let one person walk out the door, though, and he's pining at the door for hours. Fretting and worrying about the one person he saw leave and ignoring the 19 people who would enjoy his company if he turn his focus on the people who remain. He is a silly coon hound who spends a lot of energy worrying about something that he has no control over. The worry and stress rob him of the joy of the remaining company at hand. I'm sure that nobody can replace your Mom. Nobody. I do have a video of Bingo on my channel. Bingo is not a metaphor. He is real and he really does act that way. So, maybe when you have grieved all you're supposed to grieve for the loss of your Mom, you can start to look outside of your situation and find someone to help in some small way. Mow some grass for a neighbor. Volunteer at some charity. It doesn't have to be forever. You'll meet some new people. Some you'll want to spend time with, some you won't. They don't have to know why you're helping. I'll be lifting your situation to the Lord in the meantime.

      ​@@ericmendoza1818Everything is subjective.
      True freedom is an illusion.
      Simply put, seek what your subjective perspective deems worth the effort of trying your hardest.
      And for that, with your mindset, you should be ready to diе for it as it essentially concerns the very reason you persist existing.
      Even if you die while having failed, at least you lived a life where you pursued what you wanted till the end, no?
      Better than nothing, really.
      Besides, pursuing what you truly like brееds passion.
      So the first step here is to engage in retrospective and dig deep down yourself until you find your true desires buried within your true self that you might not even know you had, as everyone tends to create a personality model that suits their environment rather than their true perspective and desires.
      After you find it, you'll know what to do.
      And.. If it's something unrealistic which, no matter how hard you think about it has no way to become reality, then, well, your last option is remodelling yourself.
      We're malleable. Our environment and personal experience shape us like incandescent glass.
      As such, you can remodel yourself by deconstructing and reconstructing yourself into a new personality model with more realistic desires.
      It might feel like ending who you are but we're really no one, just who our personal experience determined.
      In a way, such an act is actually becoming someone of your own design, truly yours.
      There was a quote from a guy that as long as you feed your subconscious something and nourish it with repetition, it will become your reality.
      That's all I have to say, you do you.

The media confirms our fears, that the world has gone mad and we’re the only sane ones left, and only safe away from everyone else. Our little corner of the universe, our thoughts, bodies, friends, family, home, job, and health are all we have so we spend our time fretting over losing them.

    I was never a depressive slump on the couch. I never distracted myself with external sensations. I cried through it and dealt with the pain in the best way I know how. But in the fallout now that it has passed, I am finding it difficult not to feel numb to life. I used to feel so connected, and now my best experience is looking at everything through a glass wall.

They told me that’s depression. I was completely shocked because I didn’t feel depressed. I don’t feel depressed. This is how I felt. I changed my routine and I found new hobbies that I do enjoy now.

      This...I think I was mentally not well years ago but I was too young to realize, it was just school and having fun. Then came in the psychedelics, I felt, seen, heard, and thought so much that I'd never thought I would of ever thunk.....now trying to live on this "reality" feels mundane and weird. I don't know if I ever knew who I was but I'm in constant struggle of trying to find who I am...who I was. But I feel like I'm slowly getting there, it's just all confusing and terrifying at times.
      I died the day that i first took lsd and now, pebble by pebble, trying to put together what I think is me...what I think this thing we call life is...maybe I will never get there but I realize that trying is the best thing I can do.
      I hope you and everyone is well and I hope that you all will one day find that peace that we're looking for.

      @@pooptyschmoopty I feel you, once that door is open and you step outside your little identity and shatter everything… it has big implications… I feel like I experienced enlightenment for a time on psychedelics where there is just such peace and beauty in everything but then you have to come back and deal with the consequences of the experience. I never knew music could do such things to me and reach into my soul… ❤️🙏

      @electricsnut dude! It really does feel good knowing that a complete stranger on a random video went through/ is going through the same thing, I mean not good but as in the saying, "you are not alone" type of way. And my whole life revolves around music now, the only thing that I can relate so much to without saying one word.
      Thank you though, thank you for taking the time to comment and respond back with your experience and what you are going through, hell we even might be on the same wave length of emotions when listening to music so we might have met eachother already haha but I wish you well man. I will remember this when I'm in total crisis mode again and remember that I am really "not alone". Take care and safe journey's.

      @@pooptyschmoopty You're never alone and I think the fact people can have similar experiences through psychedelics and spiritual practices gives them validity. Be sure to check out Alan Watts and Ram Dass when you need some wisdom in these spaces :) Yes music means much more to me these days now I know what it is capable of!

      @electricsnut big facts! And man, I've watched and listened to so many things, Mr. Watts included, my biggest problem is when everything is fine and dandy, not a care in the world and then it's the drop section of the roller coaster and I just start stuffing myself with those kinds of videos and I get overwhelmed with information and then the cycle starts over. I know bi-polar and depression is a thing with me and I've come a long way without medication but therapy has been on my mind for awhile. But hey, one day at a time right?
      And I bet your playlist is anything and everything that just puts you in the right vibe? What is your current jam...or jams? Lol

    I apologize in advance for my bad english, I'm from Italy. There's what I call "the 7 note's syndrome", which I've being experiencing since the start of the 2000's. So I was born in 1977 and the years that followed were a tremendous explosions of almost everything we know today: music, movies, computers and yes - Internet. As a young boy, everything was new. I've always been a sci-fi lover, and back then we had gread ideas, great stories to tell. I always listened to music, and we had great songs - and lyrics ofcourse. Then we... "saturated", as I use say. We always had only 7 notes to play. So we wrote songs, made great movies... told good stories. Then I started to experience that strange sensation where "I saw quite everything". Each new movie I was like "meh, already seen that", each new song I was like "ok, this is similar to..." or "that is just a remake of..." and we started to sink into boredom. It's like we almost ran out of ideas. Often I feel like "I can't enjoy anything more: is it just me or we are flatting out? Am I really that hard to please?"

There are so many of them, just perpetual holidays. I just don't have the energy or the will to celebrate anything anymore.

    It's hard to go through life and "have fun" when we fully surrender unto God, and when we finally awake, we begin to understand nothing is exciting and all we want to do is leave this world only to be with our Creator once again. This is where I'm at currently. It's not because of depression. It's only because I've lost interest in literally everything.
