The Feeling That Nothing Is Fun Anymore

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'm not living, I'm just wasting time." That's how I've felt over the past decade or so.

[town]

One thing I have to do is take breaks from social media and the news. Humans were not meant to carry all the weight of the bad news in the world.

[FP]

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.

For younger people who feel this way, just take note that I unexpectedly had the happiest year of my life when I was 46. Cheers.

Gosh… this is too accurate. Nothing makes it worth it anymore. Im not depressed or suicidal. Nothing just seems to spark life within me again.

[ViniciusNegrao_]

For me, what made me be generally happier is realizing: "I don't need to be someone important, I don't need to be rich or popular, I need to live my life for me, I need to enjoy myself". There's no one in this planet you can be forced to please all the time except for yourself

[markhollis]

I still remember the day I graduated from high school over 40 years ago now. I had my whole life ahead of me and I felt like I could take on the world. I was also so naive and innocent about the world. being a police officer for many years made me bitter and cynical and my experiences changed me as a person. I don't want to know the things I know. I want to be naive and innocent again.

i have that feeling these days, nothing is fun, nothing is interesting, nothing is new, i have no interest what people talk about, because what others talk about is dumb, i wake up, i go to work, i do my job, i come home, i keep to myself, i never go out anymore, going out depresses me, i try to talk to people, but people don't understand the things i talk about, or they delittle me for having different views, so i remain silent, while remaining calm,

[freshmint]

The accuracy of the title actually scared the crap out of me. It's always funny how we think we find ourselves in some unique situations only to realize many others are going through the exact same thing...




edited: @videos-for-friends pointed out that the original name of the video(and the one that I'm referring to) is “So you’ve learned to stop caring, now you don’t feel anything.”

I went out to a Japanese style karaoke bar last week for a friend's birthday. I was limitless and unashamed for the first time in god knows how long, singing with and in front of complete strangers. It wasn't until the ride home I realized I used to feel like this all the time.

For me, it's the constant struggle of adulthood fighting against the bills and tough things: it wears you down

[shihdach]

Ever since my Mom passed away 2 years ago, this is exactly what I’ve been feeling — nothing is fun anymore. All the holidays have become ordinary days. This must be what depression is like. I’ve never felt this extreme sadness and loneliness in my life before.

[evkrutm]

“We often build a castle, when we only need a shield” beautiful omg😭 this really resonates

[ReynaSingh]

As children, the mind is opened by wonder but with age it’s closed by belief. We don’t see what is really there, we see what we expect

[IAMTheNiteOwl]

I started feeling this way, when both my parents passed at an early age. I used to be full of life, and happy. Now I'm trying to find ways to be happy with out them, and I'm struggling. Never imagined my life would be like this.

[johnroberts-pierce]

I normally don't comment on videos I don't see the point, but man I'm honestly glad I'm not alone here

[MuscleBandit]

As a single 38yr old night shift security guard my life is work, commute, shops, home, chores, cat and bed. Repeat.
It goes on for months and years as debt payments keep me in this cycle of purgatory.
I have my short term and long term goals which are slowly happening month by month but life is ordinary at best and although I'm by no means suicidal I genuinely couldn't care if I live nor die.
The final boss level of indifference was reached long ago if you will.
When we are brave enough to accept the cold vastness of the universe doesn't care a shit about us it can be tough but it's better to face reality and be stoic than drop the blue pill and resort to religion or love from other humans as a source of warmth and purpose, the rug only gets pulled from beneath us sooner or later.
Stay strong realists, you're alone, but you're not alone in being alone! MB.x

[bryandraughn]

It's shocking how instantaneously this effect takes place.
You wake up one day and realize that you can't remember what feelings felt like.
Then you're expecting to feel terror or at least surprise but there's nothing.
You just look at it.

[darylwilliams]

I have serious ennui about my entire effing LIFE at the age of 67. I could go anytime and that would be fine. And the worst part is that, as an intelligent and thoughtful man, I am surrounded by idiots making bad decisions that harm themselves and me too.

[CameraGuy]

When I was a child I knew less about things which gave me joys when doing things, but as I grew older and know more about things around me it took away all the fun and excitement. I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way.
