That sounds similar to current status in the US. Everything is goin up, up, up. Government spending regarding Covid is incomprehensible. Prices are inflating astronomically. It's one big fuckin economic bubble and it's gonna burst, sooner or later.

Agreed. Many of our homeowners are foreigners from China or India. Apparently, you cannot own property in China, you can only lease property for 80 years + it belongs to the govt. Our PM introduced a capital gains tax. One man who owned 50 properties was outraged by it.

I'm sure he was lol
I dont know who's buying what, anymore. I'm pretty isolated. Don't really watch or read much news either. Used to be a news junkie. I see a clip or two on Twitter. That's about it.
Fuck the world. I don't care anymore.
Am I depressed?

You arenβt depressed, I think you are indifferent to news bc itβs just the same depressing propaganda over + over again. My cousin told me her secret to looking young is not watching the news. Sometimes for the sake of ones mental health + sanity, not watching the news is best.

I dont even own a TV. I was referring more to the not caring about the world. If the whole planet goes up in smoke, I really dont care.

My bad. I donβt have my own TV either, aside from watching a little bit of TV with loved ones once in a blue moon, I havenβt watched TV since I was 18. I donβt care about the world either. Caring is emotional labour + mentally exhausting, not giving a fuck is proper self-care.

You care. Youre very conscientious about your work and self improvement and being active. When I read your tweets sometimes I'm like I dont know how you can expend all your energy on that stuff. But you say youll get depressed if you don't. And I respect that

I guess for me itβs a cope or itβs my perfectionism or internalised fears + I live in denial. That aside, I used to read a lot of geopolitical articles + listen to a tonne of informative podcasts + I havenβt done that in ages. I really have lost all interest in that.

I know. You're a sharp cookie.
That's what I figured. Doing a lot of stuff is a distraction.
You do what you have to do to maintain. Everyone is different and has different needs.

Iβm glad you understand. Often times I feel like burning this world down to see if I can finally feel something. When you realise life was imposed you, you feel a sense of weakness. Basic tasks feel like trying to take a piece of steak out of the mouth of a lion. It really sucks.

I can hardly do anything. I managed to go to the store today and get some groceries. That was like a major accomplishment lol

I fucking hate Walmart or any grocery store all those fucking people and I donβt know why but one always seems to want to try have a conversation with me

I donβt blame you. I always want to use the self-checkout bc I like to avoid small talk. I donβt like to make eye contact or talk to anybody. Iβm pretty much focused on getting in + getting out quickly. I even order food from an app. I dislike social interaction in general.

I understand that. Little things feel like big achievements when you have to force yourself to get things done. Life just burns you out, even when everything seems relatively okay.
