I’m curious, do most adults stay home a lot? Don’t get me wrong, I deal with depression, but I still make sure to get things done, like cleaning, doing laundry, and making myself food. However, once those tasks are done, I often find myself just sitting on the couch or lying down, watching TV or scrolling on my phone. This is usually when I’m alone, not when I’m with family or friends. I’m wondering if anyone else has a similar routine?

The abondance of informations and possibilities has make modern life way too complex.

• 24 differents packs of ham at the supermarket.

• You wanna switch banks ? 30 differents choices and contradicting reviews so it's hard to make the right choice.

• You wanna start a business selling hair product ? Welcome to the nightmare that is bureaucracy and admin work.

• Wanna promote your music ? Let's post on Instagram, tik-tok, Facebook and twitter.

• You have a health condition ? Let's dive into all the yet again contradicting informations you can find on the internet and two differents doctors will have sometimes opposite answers regarding how to treat it.

I feel like paralyzed, as someone very scared of failure it sometimes takes me months to take what should be a simple decision.

Result : I do nothing and my life does not go forward.

I know very wall that life implies taking risk and sometimes failing but let's be honest, if you were born 70 years ago life was not ideal that's for sure but at least things were more straightforward.

Just want to hear some stories of anyone comming out on top of a bad year? Recently moved 2 years ago, and Seems I'm having the worst year of my life financials, Health among other things are all breaking down at the same time. Really don't see a way out and losing hope. Probably going to lose everything in about 4 months or so. So looking to hear others stories. I've had bad times but everything right now is unmanageable and way over my head ...

I(m,26) have been very close with my friend(m,35), we met when he was my age now. Long time friendship with a lot of laughs, learning lessons about life and just generally going through life. The past two years have taken a complete turn. As I have gotten older I have become highly ambitious and this has resulted in full career change(which happened to be away from the same career we were both, not intentional).

For the past two years, he has told me things like “if you become more successful than me, I won’t be able to be friends with you”, “I’m jealous of your success” and “I don’t want to hear when you’re doing well”. These statements often were followed by him saying “I’m sorry I feel that way”.

He was part of the reason we moved cities, fast forward a year and a half and my wife can’t even stand being around him, I think he feels the need to try brag and prove that he is doing well too, i love him like a brother but no matter how many times we’ve spoken about this it just seems to get worse.

He no longer works out which is one of the first things we bonded over, he’s back onto smoking which he gave up years ago. I don’t say this in a judgmental way but he is actively becoming a person that I no longer recognize or relate with in any way. We’ve been friends for going on 10 years now and I find myself reluctant to even reach out anymore, I can’t talk about anything good going on for me anymore either gym, work or life related as I always receive an annoyed or weird response.

Is it crazy that I simply want to spend my time around someone or people that match my values and ambitions? Again, if you’re the type of person that wants to just have a simple life and do whatever, that’s absolutely fine, everyone is different but he’s taken this approach of wanting that life but also not wanting me to have bigger goals.

like sudden realization that some decades of your life has past by and you've done jack shit but work work work

didn't invent anything, didn't do something that will leave a mark, didn't heal someone, not a doctor, not someone who's made something physical in real life

just kinda... living, day to day, work-money-maybe play for a bit with hobbies-sleep

doesn't feel like have done nothing 'meaningful' in the world, when I'm dead I'll just fade away
