It’s very depressing to ask someone about their weekend and the answer is always nothing more than TV and sleep.
I know somebody who maintains a gas powered go kart that his son races with. I don’t know much about it, and I’d never be into it, but at least hearing about what he is up to is interesting.
What’s ironic is that so many are doing TV and sleep on their weekends because they are depressed and exhausted from the week, with only two days before starting it over, less in many cases
This was me for a while. I've found that when I'm depressed, taking the first step out the door can feel like an insurmountable task.
Also related, I'm actually in a conversation with a discord friend right now about how hard it is to feel connected to something as we get older. It's still possible, but it takes a concerted effort. Add things like depression and exhaustion to the mix, and you've got the ingredients for a downward spiral.
There are so many people out there who I'd love to give a big mental hug. So many people hurting.
Right on the nose with the insurmountable task.
The thing is, is that if somehow you get the energy to get out the door, whatever you have planned is (nearly) always a good time. It's just so hard to remember that when depression takes hold.
This has been my experience as well. I feel this every time I have something social planned, and even moreso when depressed.
I can be totally aware of what I need to do to feel better, and still get hung up on that first damn step. The psychological struggle is real.
I find even taking a step out the door to walk around the block can help improve my mood.
Speaking of which I think I will go do that right now! I could use it :)
Did you make it?
Shit I forgot. Ok going now. Bye :)
I can definitely relate, then my dog has to stay on routine …. I love her almost like another kid and am so happy she can share our family. I’ll spend as much time as I can, etc, etc. but there are weekend days when I. Just. Need. Sleep. but she has to make sure we all get up in time as if it were work/school
To be fair, sleeping is awesome and TV shows have had 100 years of continuous improvement.
We're in a golden age of TV. Film level production and writing quality. A list actors. Planned story arcs instead of serial garbage.
I have been lucky enough to watch every season of the Simpsons since 1989 as it increased and slowly decreased in quality. I have seen Seinfeld, The Office, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Friends, Anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion/Berserk,One Punch Man/Death Note, countless documentaries featuring David Attenborough. Top Gear, The IT Crowd, Mr Robot, The Walking Dead and even all six seasons of Game of Thrones.
You're right, we are very fortunate and it is a golden age.
That's the unfortunate part of modern society. Many people are barely able to make a living to get by that when they do have time off, all they want to do is sleep and do nothing. It's not that they are necessarily lazy or unmotivated, it's that they are tired and need the rest.
People don't create, or get into a hobby unless they have enough free time and money.
If all your free time is spent on trying to get a bit more money to live ... any bit of time you have to just sit will be spent either sleeping or watching TV.
I don't have any energy to do anything else. I hate being asked about my weekend. Why do I have to entertain? They can just tell me about their own weekend instead and I'll offer my own information if I have something to tell.
I don’t assume people are asking for their own entertainment. I think they are trying to connect. Conversation is one of the way people connect to each other. If it’s just for entertainment It’s so much easier to just get entertainment from a phone rather than go the effort to interact with people.
