This character you're portraying sucks.

With "escape" I didn't mean escapism but rather finally lead a happy, or rather not so shitty, life.
I have read a lot of the Greeks, but after realizing that reading philosophy hasn't actually offered me anything positive in my life (what I was seeking) I took a break from philosophy and got heavily invested into psychoanalysis. I have read interpretation of dreams, ego and the Id, introduction to psychoanalyzis, on murder and melancholia, I read some Jung and some books by some unknown authors only to realize that the more books I read the more I realize that nothing helps.

I am a worthless neet, I tried working for years but it didn't help so I just went back to being a neet on welfare.

Have you tried the Stoics.

Perhaps look into Christianity senpai

That's actually a great idea, never cared much about religion; I'm not an atheist or theist. Maybe I should try picking up a bible and try to force myself to church.

What's pathetic about your life?
Why do you feel that you need to change?

If you've read about psychoanalysis then you know you can't do it solo. Transference needs another human. You can't live your life in a fucking bottle yo.

this

and you can't live off welfare forever. so get a job. get some good friends/maybe a relationship. this is a major premise in one of peterson's personality lectures: if you lack enough of them you are pretty much bound for depression.

if you feel like you're in the gutter and disgusted with yourself have a listen. no need to subscribe to everything he says but give it a chance.

lit is divided over his anti-sjw antics and sudden rise to the public sphere but it's hard to deny that his lectures provoke thought.

church/reading the bible will help to a degree but don't project it onto something external that is the answer to everything. only you can save yourself. best wishes
