Depression is a matter of perspective and not circumstance.

happiness levels don't really alter in our lifetime, regardless of circumstances.

That old adage "money doesn't bring you happiness" is true to the extent that, a miserable person, given sudden wealth, won't be made immediately not miserable by it. They may be temporarily happy but they will eventually revert to their "natural" happiness state.

Likewise you have wealthy people who are naturally happy, and poor people who are naturally happy. Changing their wealth conditions won't change their happiness state because it's more or less fixed.

That's not to say that our happiness never fluctuates, but all things being equal we have our varying base levels.

Having pussy, money, having no money, being a fucking manlet - these things can influence our happiness levels but they don't override our baseline happiness level.

This is why people who are on antidepressants tend to have a lifelong relationship with them, even if by other measures the features of their life improve (wife, money, job etc.)

That's exactly how depression works. I know, I have it. At least I've got reasons though.

>>8431887
If that were true my life experiences wouldn't have influenced my ability to be happy so much.
You speak like someone who had a good life, which doesn't mean you can't be depressed as well.
I've always been depressed but what made it impossible to bear with it were my life experiences, those changed me forever leaving scars that I'm pretty sure will never leave me as long as I remember.

tl;dr: ignorance is bliss.

youre a fucking loser if you think you're better than him for having 'reasons' for your depression, if anything, he's cooler than you because he's 10x better than you and is depressed, while you have depression because you're a fucking loser.

A certain level of intelligence can be isolating if you don't acquire the necessary provisions; I.e A knowing of a Creator.

It can feel at times, as if you converse with cartoon characters.

He knew how to toy with people, in Infinite Jest, tennis is basically an allegory for human interaction, hitting the ball back and forth - how to succeed in such a way.

He was a non-human spirit caught in human games, and that's why he felt like a fraud. I wish you well David, at peace now after a life of pain. People laughed at your pain David. You said, why are they laughing.

God bless.

It's obvious you're just a kid.

Yet, I thought kids these days tried to act mature?

Maybe you're a special case, son!

You put words in my mouth, you basically are arguing with yourself.

>>8432050
of course i'm just a kid.

>>8432053
what do you mean by your depression being justified then and his not? sorry for the belligerent post.

I think because he had acne as a teen so turned to weed and it messed up his serotonin and he had to go on anti depressants which messed him up more. Finally when he tried to switch his meds in his last years because they were giving him pain or whatever, no other med fit him right. Electro shock therapy didn't work either.

It didn't help that he was a writing a novel about enduring boredom that was in itself boring and with the years of imbibing chemicals it became too much for him to reach his perfectionist standard.

Nice platitudes, but you're totally wrong. Increased incomes DIRECTLY correlates with happiness up to 70k annually.

woefully inaccurate. actually meaningless

>non-human spirit

he was desperate to cull some truth or formula out of human interactions but it's just hyperreal description. maybe insightful, but obviously he was in the thick of it and not unaccountably apart
