How do I start feeling better /b/ros? Nothing seems interesting, even tough I'm not a complete failure I still feel like my life is shit.
Read up on capitalism, alienation, and wage slavery. You'll find that depression, anxiety, and more are products of a system keeping you docile and in place within society. They then give you meds to deal with life, so you can work for 40 years, be a "productive employee and member of society" then die. Say "Fuck that" and reject it.

What sort of life would make you happy?
>>722972659
Where I do anything that makes me feel fulfilled, succsesful or appreciated. Whatever it is I start doing/learning I very quickly get turned off with the fact that Im not good at said thing. I'ts like an endless loop.

You don't get good at stuff, before you've been bad at it for a while though. Instant gratification is for drugs and television, when you want to learn, you have to be willing to not know how to do a thing first.

I was like you for yonks, except i was also a complete failiure in life.
You gotta do things that fulfil you man, i know its almost cliche at this point but working out sure helps. Learn a new skill and get good at it, go out and meet new people, try to improve your lot in life. I think purpose makes people happy, and you can make your own purpose.

>I think purpose makes people happy, and you can make your own purpose.
That's true and I know that. Thing is finding the purpose is incredibly hard for me. Anything that I think of doing/achieveing seems like a thing that wouldn't make me happy.

I know that feeling too well, i was always like how can i do something to make myself feel better if i can't think of anything that would make me feel better?
Its a fucking trap man and dont buy into it, because its only once you start DOING things that you start to feel better about life. I mean the first real purpose i found in life was quitting drugs, that was my reason for being for a while but it helped. Then when that had run its course i decided to get healthy, then that was my reason to get out of bed. Purpose can be anything man, even if your purpose is simply to be a little bit better in some way than you were the last.
What is it that you want out of life?

Happiness is a temporary state and it should be.
Find something that will make you content instead, something where you feel that you are making a contribution to your surroundings. Once you're content, you'll find yourself in more happy moments.

Whenever I see someone do something creative that's appreciated I get this thought of "I wanna do something similiar, I wanna make art". I get the motivation for like... an hour or two, after that time I notice Im shit and I give up. I just want to have this one thing that Im good at and that I enjoy doing. That's it. I don't really care about having great wife, about making the most money in country or finding a cure for cancer. I just want to live my life so I can at least somewhat enjoy it. For past few years I've been in that stupid "no-emotions" state, I don't care about anything, I want to kill myself so I don't feel bad anymore but I also can't do that because making my parents feel the sadness stops me.
i reccomend frequent masturbation and a weekly watching of Terminator 2

Because we're all born great aren't we?
You need to be willing to try and fail and learn, and most importantly to DO.
Have you got any pics? i like drawing myself, im sure i can get behind it.
>>722974575
I don't have any pictures, I never did any drawings. Never got past the "learning the basics" stage where you draw random boxes, learn about perspective etc.
>Because we're all born great aren't we?
I know it's not that people are born with good drawing skills, it's all hard work in the end. But for some reason I can't get into something so much that I just want to learn it/get better (if that sentence makes sense)

Go ask for help about your depression anon.
>>722974857
I'm also having problems with that. Can't bring myself to go the a therapist. Leaving the comfort zone is really hard.
