anyone else feel disconected from reality, people and being human? to a point that you no longer care about your physical or metaphysical self?
like this whole existence is just a pointless bunch of experiences in a temporary life in a temporary universe. and you sometimes get deep into the thought that just a few years ago you weren't alive and "you" wasent a thing that existed. or could percieve existence? I feel like this every hour of every day. And I am constantly aware that this experience called life could end at any time. and how we attemp to percieve reality with only 5 feeble senses, that cant even detect simble things like radiation or gravity. what does this all mean in the end. I cant take it anymore lads.
What if existence itself didn't exist? I try to contemplate that a lot, what if space itself didn't exist? What if both matter and the absence of matter didn't exist?

Dude, life is just a name for your short existence in the universe' ever long timeline. Just try to enjoy your time.
I know how you feel man... I have to distract myself from existential thoughts like that all the time

ive taken on a very nihilistic view on life from a social perspective. meaning I dont care avoit anything so I might as well do whatever. but in the back of my head I always remember that and emotions of happiness or lonliness are all temporary

I know this feel OP. I'm completely dissociated from most things and people. I mostly perceive human actions and human culture from an indifferent perspective, as if I'm on the outside looking in upon all human life...it's rather difficult to clearly explain. I suggest you do what I'm doing and pass the time by further understanding existence and the universe.

thanks for the links. also nice image.

yeah, nihilism is a hell of a drug.
nothing bothers me, nothing shocks me, can endure anything, can say no to anything, can say yes to anything.
i have this thing that i call "mortality vision". it's where you look at people and all you see are skeletons with pulsing flesh sacks that excrete brown shit and carry around all this red fluid.
when i look at things they appear so basic, but when you hear those things speak, they try to posture as if they're so much more.

Shit OP,
I used to feel the same way, Too much fantasizing about teleological concepts makes me life that,
But then I sorta got into existentialism. Admitting that we'll all die someday and still trying to find meaning.
That's the shit that keeps me going OP
You are in my feels

Here's one more link I forgot to include. The Carl Sagan quote is rather cheesy, but this vid puts everything very well into perspective.

I'd say most people go through this sort of thing, where they realize that their existence is entirely pointless. But my attitude is "so what? I'll just live this life and hope something interesting happens" I mean I could kill myself, however I can't deny the fact that life is OK for me, and there's no reason I should do it knowing that is the end.

When i get angry at something or someone or when someone Moral fags 2 me i just think of the universe and the reality we live in and it calms me down knowing these moral fags mean nothing

Man, I remember when I turned seven. I had a bunch of revelations like these. Then you know what happened? I grew up and accepted the fact that I have one of whatever the fuck this is and legitimately do the best I can to improve my health, relationships with people, and my overall well being.
Life is going to be tough until you accept that this is it. It's not going to be anything else unless you make it happen. Who gives a shit about the perception of reality when we can shape that by actually performing an action and establishing the base of reality for others.
None of this matters. Make it matter.
INTP general?
