Only alive for others

Haha, you're fine. Reading through your posts reminds me of myself, actually. I don't hate video games, I just, played almost all of them, and now find them mind-numbingly boring. Even went back and replayed a lot of old PS games I used to love, and now can't see what all the hype was about. And yes, these days, almost everyone watches porn, but I find a lot of the arguments in /nofap starting to make sense. After clicking through related videos enough, it all looks the same now. Maybe I'm cynical.

I was saddened by your previous posts that said you felt like you had nothing to live for, just other people. And that when they are gone, You'll want to go too. I can't tell you how many times I have felt that same way. Everything today is hollow and plastic, and the feels/rewards we were supposed to gain from doing things no longer come.

So, I wanted to ask someone who thought a lot like me, what would make it worth it. Maybe it will spark something in me and give me an idea. Also, maybe asking might make you realize that you're not so bad, and that you could have things that makes it worth it.
