LDAR I somewhat prefer being depressed and low energy

[Mr. Ponzi]

It just feels easier. When I feel energetic, I start having all sorts of needs and hopes and I end up feeling worse as a result of unfulfilled desires.
But when I'm feeling low, even slightly sick, I just drag my ass from the sofa to the bed and backwards and I rot all day, in a state of numbness.
Anybody else feel the same?

I'm sick off work today. I am sure the various symptoms are caused by depression. I just want to turn my back on the world and pretend it doesn't exist some times.

Honestly I don't think I have had more than maybe 10 sick days in my life where I was physically incapable of work or school. It is always being slightly sick and feeling very shitty.

I really could not imagine being an energetic extravert.

Being around normies all day is fucking tiring, waffling on about shit that doesn't matter or talking about their "unique, one in a million kids, vacation, blah blah experiences"

You talk about some real out there free thinking stuff & the face goes blank or they think you're a psycho.

Fuck I hate those ppl, I can understand where active shooters are coming from sometimes.

Lol yes. Try to talk to someone about some nontrivial topic and you are labeled as a weirdo. It's only acceptable to have in-depth conversation with people you are close to, in my experience

Absolutely ridiculous, so on the surface of interacting with new ppl it pretty much goes

"Hello I'm boring cunt that only talks about small talk stupid shit that tells you fuck all about who I am as a person & gives you zero idea if we are going to get along well. I know, let's compare jobs but really we're sizing each other up to see who is wealthier or if you have a key skill I can use you for at a friend's rate 'cos I'm a cheap bastard. Let's also throw into the mix locality for further status mogging. Do you enjoy some shit sport at the base level that you never actually play & have zero understanding of at a technical level but are aware that they are doing rather better than my team currently therefore you are better than me".

Good god.

Only nice thing about depression is that the little things stop bothering you
