Hi /adv/, I'm 18, and since childhood I've lost all but one or two pleasures. I used to love watching movies and TV shows as a kid, and now they do nothing for me. I really liked video games too, but now they're just dull entertainment instead of actually fun. I liked anime when I saw it as a kid, but now I don't care. Even compliments and conversations don't affect me anymore. I tried STEM fields and philosophy, but still, nothing came out of it. The only thing I still like is music.

I thought this was normal, but I realized today that most people still like those things. This change was very gradual (I stopped liking movies before puberty), so I assumed it was natural. Now I feel it must be the result of some mental condition. I looked it up, and apparently I have Anhedonia, a key symptom of depression. I don't feel depressed, though: just very bored. Still I was told to get a diagnosis.

What do you guys think? Could it still be depression even though I don't fit most of the symptoms?

Perhaps you should embark on the dangerous journey of finding things that satisfy you. Something any well adjusted individual takes on several times during their life.

As somebody who was there in the exact same situation where you are right now, I can safely say that this search took me around 3 to 4 years until I finally got it.

That and I stopped over exaggerating my situation and also topped turning dumb things into big problems.

Honestly, I just think you are a child going through the faggot phase.

Good luck.

I've looked around a lot and everything is similarly boring. I've tried every hobby with a big number of followers, and nothing comes of it. Even still the number of things I do give a shit about shrinks by the year. Only enjoying one activity in life is a pretty big problem, don't you think?

What got you out of this phase?

>>17820586

Trying, searching, time and not being a big pussy in general.

Oh but you want everything to be solved by tomorrow dont you? Probably wont happen.

>Only enjoying one activity in life is a pretty big problem

You are 18. You are a child. You, at least, have around 50 years left if you dont die in a car crash or get killed before hand by some nigger or disease.

Looks like I forgot how shitty this board became. Oh well, better off asking somewhere else then.

Sorry you didn-t get the magical solution you were expecting.

Out.

Not enjoying dumb media usually comes with growing up ... you do have to analyze your reasons for not enjoying it beyond boredom though. Why exactly?

>I tried STEM fields and philosophy
Tried to actually study it or what?

> I've tried every hobby with a big number of followers, and nothing comes of it.
For how long did you try? And once again, what exactly did bore you?

Alright young blood, you're at that point now.

Til now you've been following pleasure. Fun, entertainment, novelty. Child and teen years are all about that. But you're maturing, bit by bit every day. The novelties are no longer new, the pleasures are no longer pure, and the entertainment is no longer justifiable. You can chase your tail & past comforts for the next few years (or the rest of your life, if you were a normie) which will only solidify your own limits and ignorances, Or you can Allow yourself to fully see through that which you have begun to.
The world of men is built on lies. Lies to keep the lesser minds weak, the small minds just that, and to foster greatness. Growing up for those who are not satisfied with anything less than Truth, is to understand these lies. To focus on the limits of man at large secondly, and Yourself firstly. This is how you will reach your potential.
>>
>>17820675
But you must commit to allowing yourself the freedom to understand. May sound absurd, but think about it. How much of society, people you know, willfully avoid accepting the whole truth? People who want to yuck up at sitcoms all their lives, people who want to rock off to porn all their lives, people who want to be upper level management at a low level business all their lives, people who never succeed at being truly great. On some levels, most people do not want to allow themselves to expose the matrix, because doing so, forces change. To see beyond the bullshit of this world yet to attempt to remain as you were before, is to rot. So those that fear having to change, whether for sense of inadequacy or rejection of any aspect of life, do not, deep down, really allow themselves to understand truth. Some just plain don't have the eyes.
And this is all okay.
That's the number one thing: this life is completely, 100% and unfailingly Just. You need to accept it as such.
Then, and only then, will you be able to continue to grow as your best on the road you are still fresh on.
Love it all. This is your world, in your time.
