I'm 24, i don't find anything as enjoyable or exciting as I once did. Anyone else feel this way?

[ZoomerAmerican]

I loved video games when I was a kid and teenager, but now I cant play them and find them incredibly boring. I used to love anime when I was 13-16, but now i find anime boring.

When I was 10-13, I used to love watching every single regular season game of my favorite NBA and MLB team. now i find regular season boring and only intrigued by postseason play. I also thought WWE was the coolest thing ever as a kid, now i find it boring.

As a kid and teenager, i found tv shows and movies with lots of drugs, sex, and adult themes intriguing and entertaining as hell, now im just desensitized to it and i cant remember the last movie i watched that I'd put in my top 50 movies. I don't even find drinking alcohol as enjoyable as i did when i was 17-18 doing it for the first time.

I don't know if I'm going through a quarter life crisis or if this is normal, but literally nothing in life is as enjoyable or exciting as it was 10-15 years ago when i was 10-15 years old. and I'm not saying me at 10-15 was peak life either, At times I was super lonely those years, was bullied, had helicopter parents, etc. There were plenty of things I didn't enjoy about my age 10-15 years. But at least the hobbies or interests I had deeply entertained me such as video games, anime, WWE, watching sports, etc.

But now none of those things deeply entertains me. i don't know if this is normal or if I'm just going thru a quarter life crisis. usually people over 40 feel burnt out by life, but I'm 24 and in my prime and nothing excites me or fulfills me anymore

You just grew up from these things, everyone feels this way.

unless I know the person well enough I can't recommend shit. but for ex if u play mainstream shit or only played within a few genres u ought to explore other ones (like going from COD/GTA to JRPGs). if u watched a ton of popular anime it might be time to read manga or even manwha.

It's just the realization that everything sucks, and there is no point to it. It hits us sooner then most because from birth till now we have had little to no good experiences in our life, and nobody treats us like human beings.

[ldargoblin]

Yeah, it's a quarter life crisis, you are at that age when youth is almost behind you. And in just 6 years a midlife crisis will begin, which is even worse.

Microsoft will like me.

korean manga but illustrated and colored by professional artists. generally speaking they're extremely average. mangas are more likely to be complete ass or kino while manwhas tend to consistently be somewhere in the middle.

I've once read "To not die" and I liked it.

Cope in any way you can, that's all I can say.

Sometimes there are threads here that claim games such as gta or whatever are for normies, which I partially agree with due to the fact that lots of normies play it, but it gives me peace.
Closing the blinds, walking upstairs to my room, switching on the pc or Xbox.... just detach from this shit reality.

Recently I find myself more so focused on horror / adventure games on PC,

 

[psycho123]

i dont really enjoy anything anymore. i try to find pleasure in playing video games, anime, or manga, but i think the thing that gives me most joy is watching tv shows/movies.
