I do want a relationship for a few months to get all this out of my system - love, sex, cuddling, intimacy, affection etc... and then just be done with this whole incel business and never obsess about women or sex again. But that's neither here nor there, not what this thread is about.
I thought about it and I don't want that life, the life of having a wife. Or having kids. It's just not what I want out of life. It's not even about the lack of freedom or how much energy and money it takes, it's not that. It's just not what I want, not at all. It's not even close to what I want from life.
And here's where my anhedonic/depressed brain that's been this way for many years screws me yet again. I don't actually know what I want in life. I know what I don't want. I know I don't want a wife and kids. I don't want to wageslave for decades. But I don't really have a goal in this life, something I want. Really, I keep thinking about it and it would be such a relief to just go to sleep and never wake up again, but I just keep waking up alive and a new day starts.
I sound like a broken record but because I don't seem to want anything from life, because I don't like or enjoy anything, because I don't have a goal or something, I keep searching and fantasizing about a skill/interest/hobby/talent that would be fulfilling, that I could enjoy and invest effort into for years and actually do something, be someone. But that's not it, I realize now that's not what I actually want. I just seem to want this because I've searched for so long and haven't found this "interest" that I'm looking for, and I never will. And so my brain keeps bringing it up, haunting me with this idea, so it would avoid the true answer: I really don't want anything or like anything. The brain keeps bringing this up because the alternative is that truly I'll just keep living for 40 or 50 more years and I'll be in this state of being unfulfilled, of feeling the need for something more to life but never actually finding what I want. At least if there was something I wanted to work towards, but no, I just don't want or like anything.
And unfortunately this isn't just my depression or anhedonia talking. I was like this even before those started, though since it's been so long and I've been depressed during my formative years, my brain has been influenced by it. I just genuinely am a person who doesn't like anything, isn't interesting in anything. So not a wife, not kids, nothing is my goal or how I want to live my life. I just don't seem to want anything. Wish I could just disappear but that won't happen, so I'll feel this gaping void inside me, this unfulfilled need for ... something more to life, something I don't know what. I'll keep being like this, with this feeling that there has to be more to life, feeling incomplete and unsatisfied and unfulfilled for so many more years.
