Seriously, how do normies do it? If you have all of your basic needs met, and there is no objective system of value, how do you convince yourself to strive for anything? Do they just lie to themselves?

I've wanted to care about something enough to get off of my ass for so long now, but I can't seem to reason my way out of this. Do you somehow turn your brain off and just do what everyone else is doing? I don't understand, please help

Well there is a simple but not so easy cure for this terrible mindset which is to realise that since there isn't meaning in anything. There might aswell be meaning everything. Get a lifestyle.

For you I think figuring out the meaning of life might be just where to start. Put some thought into it. That shit gonna get your ideas rolling

There might not be a point in anything but that doesn't mean you can't give yourself a reason to exist. You could pick a craft to excel at, or try to make a load of money, or try to become very knowledgeable, or try to experience as much pleasure as possible. It's all totally arbitrary but once you do it long enough that won't matter anymore.

The universe is inherently meaningless. Us being abstract thinking beings are the ones who create the meaning. "Nothing has meaning but the meaning you give it" we're basically gods anon.

A lot of it is down to necessity. If I could get by without working I'd never set foot in my office again, however I have a mrs and 3 kids and the bank will take my house away if I stop paying the mortgage, so I have no choice but to work. It all just builds on from there really - you have another kid so you want a bigger house, you get fed up of driving a car that breaks down twice a month and want a new one, you realise you don't want to work forever so try and pay a bit more in to your pension, that kind of thing.

Nothing matters, hence everything matters. Like how everything is nothing.

this pretty much
we're here to make life as best as we can for those around us

when you hold your child for the first time any questions of, "whats the point, its all meaningless anyways" stop right there

How? I'll tell you how.
Slowly.

Live your life and let its meaning emerge on its own.
It's not an epiphany where one day you have no purpose and the next day you're off the charts, no.

Live day by day, if something worth pursuing appears - make it your goal.
That is exactly how normies do it.

Trivial, yes. But effective.

there is no meaning in life beyond that which you give it

so give it a meaning

To be truly content and happy, by having something to live for: be it children, God or even nationalism.

Without having stuff to live for you can certainly make yourself more content while you strive to find purpose, or you can live day to day like a normal delusional individual without much awareness which is perfectly normal and accepted, albeit not often described like that. That however isn't a state you can just jump into and considering your here saying this sort of stuff, might be slightly difficult for you to get into.

Instead what I recommend for you is pick aspects of your life and improve them. Initial points should be clean and tidy where you live. Fix your diet, exercise and work (be it educational or occupational dependant on your age).
Having these targets and making your surrounding life better will make living more comfortable, should improve our happiness and give you purpose however short term, overtime you can convert these to longer and longer term goals. Hopefully the end goal, you meet a wife/husband you like and end up with children to look after and bring up.

In general, exercise well and often, eat well, keep your surroundings clean and tidy, work and learn , and finally socialise somewhat.

some part of me really would like children, a family. it's just that whenever i try to get up and go outside or lose weight or make any steps toward that goal my brain just drowns out my will with chants of "nothing matters, sitting at home being a fat neet for the rest of your life is just as good as doing that, you can't objectively prove otherwise, so why bother" etc. etc. until i just give up and feel worse than before. i don't know how to escape it

sorry i'm super tired and that might not be phrased optimally i just didn't want the thread to die

this is why we need to stop jew propaganda
