I struggle mightily with apathy, whether it’s depression or just looking at the state of the world, this is absolutely a problem. Shaking yourself out if it is so much more difficult than one would think. Prayers to everyone here or anywhere else who struggles with this 🙏🏻

Being disillusioned with life and society causes apathy for me. I feel alienated as I don't really fit in anywhere and so I end up not caring

[noway]

The keys to happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to look forward to. A person who is apathetic has none of them.

That’s why it’s a awful, and debilitating state to be in.

Now do a video on how to get out of an apathy mindset pls

[tshampoo]

Thank you. This is completely where I am now and I don’t know how to get out of it.

[bellabukuru]

That’s so accurate. I’m glad I’m out of it. But I’m preparing myself in case it comes back. But very great explanation. I hope people realize that it’s not laziness.

[chukabucka]

Oh please do a deeper dive on this topic 🙏

[Themitten]

Can I just thank you for taking the time you do to help us all, thank you 🙏🏻

[elia]

This is what I’ve been struggling with and I don’t know how to escape it.

[Keturah-Renet]

This is my state currently. Perfectly described as just existing and I hate it.

[nataliemcmasters]

Can you share more about Apathy please??? Or if you have any longer videos where you go into more detail ? Thank you

[debbiewalker]

This is me for sure. It has gotten worse since the pandemic, and have been seeing a therapist for 2 years. She does make suggestions to help me, but I have to get motivated, and just can’t. I’ll look for a longer version video on this subject Dr. Marks. Maybe there’s something in the content that can help. ☺️

I am SO apathetic. I have anhedonia - unable to feel interest or pleasure, and so I have no motivation to do anything. It's SO boring and SO depressing. I sleep most of the day to avoid having to sit around like a lump all day. I WANT to want to do things, but I just can't.

[MegaKhelditia]

This explains why video games have become potentially healthy (in personalized moderation), not only because some get you to exercise, but having that things to love and do after something that makes you apathetic could plausibly put you in a, like, TGIF flow state?

I think I felt that, last Friday at the end of shift, a second wind based on the things I wanted to be doing after work actually got me to start my most dreaded task and get it done before week's end.

Keep posting, ma'am, you're my favorite YouTube psychology intel broker 😆 ❣❣

Thanks so much for this, I have been struggling with this for a while now

[EMPower]

I’ve finally reached this point. 33 years, I’m finally here.

[Broomer]

Here’s the thing I’m incredibly apathetic, I’m jaded to the world at 28. I’m also not unhappy I’ve lived through several social activist fueled riots, as of writing this 2 recessions, the rise and collapse of social media, post 9/11 paranoia, my mom’s family being torn apart by identity politics, a plauge, corrupt news networks, corrupt social media networks, several wars. Tell me I should have faith in humanity and I could write you an essay on why that’s stupid. All that said the ability to stop caring about the world has given me the chance to improve my own life. Follow your own bliss, get yourself in the position you want, love yourself because you’re the most important person in your life, stop caring about how everyone else judges you because no one else matters.

None of you are apathetic, you’re just depressed

[iamwasaykhalid]

Seeing y’all open is about stuff was awesome. I wanna see this again

[hepalepa]

Oh! So that's what I'm dealing with. I've called it depression for years but nice to know it's got a name
