need advice Anonymous 04/05/25 (Sat) 02:32:13 No.11 [Reply]

Hello /sig/bros. For the past few weeks I found myself in a loop where I'm living a hedonistic nihilistic life, always chasing gratification, became super lazy, doing nothing productive. Need your advice in getting out of this loop.

On previous years, the conditions I was living in was shitty, forcing and motivating me to be hardworker and accomplishing great things in terms of life.

But this year, I'm started to get paid well, few weeks ago i moved to a super cozy new house, this time with no roomates to be dealt with their dramas or distractions. I thought this would be my chance to work on myself and do things better.

But having much more money, and living in a super cozy house led to me being super comformist, lazy fuck.

At first, i found myself addicted to a shitty web browser game called hexanaut io. I was playing it for a very unhealthy amounts of time, I was unironically the 1st player on the leader board. I blamed the game for my hedonistic life so I blocked accessing the website from router so I'd never play it again.

Then found myself addicted to watching animes this time, I didn't watch any since 3 years, but completed 9 series (130+ episodes) only within few days. I now realized that the shitty web browser game or the animes were not to blame, but instead I'm sick in the mind finding any means of escapism or addiction no matter what I get rid of. Something is wrong in my head.

I've always been a person that is driven and motivated by the deadlines, but even the very close deadlines are not fueling me now.

This is normally the behaviour of the depressed people, but i'm not feeling sad or anything, i don't think i'm depressed.
But what is wrong with me then? How can i break this loop?

It sounds familiar to me. What I see in your post is that you want to improve but are unsure about whether it's possible. My answer is that this is a progress, you defeated your game addiction, you found a job, just keep going. Every battle you win makes you stronger, and thus the next battle is easier. We all face similar struggles, the only difference being some of us find solutions quicker than others. You want to be the one who solves every problem as soon as possible. The issue isn't a "loop" or some kind secret enemy. Just take out the garbage and move on

Well Anon.
If I can dare an hypothesis, it seems that after you have reached some important life goals (the cozy house, the well paid job) your mind simply got in rest mode.
In other words, you may not have anymore that hunger that pushed you ahead.

My suggestions are:
1. Accelerate
Hedonistic lifestyle is wrong, we all agree about this but your subconscious mind still needs to understand it.
Therefore my advice is to put aside your guilt complex and indulge in every pleasure you want. Tell to yourself that you are taking a vacation from yourself.
The objective is to feel the disgust for the pleasure as end of itself.
When the things that you feel alluring and addicting will turn to be boring and unappealing, you'll be ready for phase 2.

2. Remotivation
As you said. You have achieved some major life goals. You need to find another one to pursue.
I remember that when I was in the same situation I got involved with politics but you must find your way by yourself according your personal inclination.

Yes! And I couldn't break this rest mode for weeks.

>The objective is to feel the disgust for the pleasure as end of itself.
I did anon. To a point I hated myself, and i'm already bored with this over gratification. You have a good point.

>You need to find another one to pursue.
You are right, this is always what kept me going for years.
I guess I overcome my laziness now, it happend just like how you described, and the situation i put myself in (couldn't made deadlines in time) already punished me and forced me to get back on the train.

Another thing that helped me to heal is fixing my sleep schedule. Sleep schedule is literally the most important thing in one's life, daily routine. When you wake up after 2PM, you feel unmotivated to do anything feeling the day is already over, then you revenge yourself by not sleeping at time rejecting the fact that day is already over.

Returning back to getting up at 6AM, waking up with the sun just immediately started to motivate me again.

There is no archive at the moment. But I agree that we need one eventually, after the site gets some more traction I guess.

I was talking about the archive for sigup.org too.

The other site you're referencing is probably sigup.net. I don't know either what happened, but it appears the admin (donotturnoff.net) fell the face of the earth, as nobody could get a hold of him as far as I know. Although an archived version of sigup.net can be accessed through archive.org:
