  • I am in the netherlands and have had professional help, but they couldn’t figure it out either and eventually we dropped the case with no further instructions.

    I am, however, taking bupropion and that has helped somewhat and stimulants for my ADHD which help greatly for doing things even if my mind is not motivated.

    I have had this problem for at least a decade though and maybe even since birth, so i am unsure if i can be helped.

    Glad you were able to get out of that hole though.


  • Unfortunately i feel like i have some kind of derealization & depersonalization disorder and i just don’t feel rage, anger or much of any feeling at all.

    My greatest struggle is that positive and negative feelings alike are not good enough motivators for anything. Simple things like going to the gym or having a hobby or even just seeing friends regularly, none of these give me motivation to do them and i merely do it because of logic and it being healthy or whatever.

    You know the calculation your brain does automatically in order to figure out if something is worth doing? It is never worth for me. There were times where staring at a wall and hanging out with my friends who love me had the same exact emotional impact, with staring at the wall having significantly less of a cost.

    That is also why i refuse to be described as a socialist, communist or be called comrade. I do not have any revolutionary spirit within me and can not be relied on for revolutionary work.

    My lack of emotional response makes me, ironically, sad (no idea how that works tbh…) and i cannot help, but to covet the rage that you are struggling with.

    I feel annoyed at homeless people asking me for something rather than sad or rage at their situation or even happy being able to help a little. I logically understand their situation and was even homless myself (not for years mind you) and i still only feel a little annoyance before i wrestle my brain into giving them some money or an old blanket. I never feel good afterwards though and have to fight my mind into not avoiding these people.

    I try to be a good person, but have little motivation to be one. Luckily i have a similar lack of motivation to do bad things too, so i remain an apathetic grey blob.














  • You lost me at calling dark souls beautiful haha. Ngl, even dark souls 3 looks kinda trash for the time it released. You know how you remember shitty graphics better than they were because you played it as a kid? DS1 looks like how i remember PS2 graphics lmao.

    I also never had a visibility issue with good lighting in games. No more than i do in real life i suppose.

    I honestly do like more high fidelity graphics, but don’t care much about realism. The newest nintendo games as well as the latest God of War games are all beautiful even though they take on widely different art styles.

    Realistic graphic mods can suck my dick tho’. That shit just looks like shit from ass 100% of the time and i can’t imagine someone actually playing with these mods besides putting them on to show your friends how cool it looks like before uninstallling it again.
