OldCel trait: You don't actually enjoy your copes anymore

[Deleted member 27249]

I still do them. I still spoil myself with the fast food. I still play video games. I still watch boxing and MMA. I still jerk off.

But there was a time where I'd get so excited about getting a meal from burger king. I'd make a whole night out of it, set up a movie and eat while watching.

I'd get so excited to get home and play video games and follow the story

I literally couldn't sleep some nights waiting for tomorrow's fights and being overly hyped.

Jerking off felt so good that I would literally not be horny for a week afterwards.

Now everything feels so "meh". I'll play video games for hours but I'm not even sure if I enjoy them or not. They're just time wasters. I'd eat fast food cuz there's literally no other food to make. I'll masterbate 3 times a day and it won't stop me from being horny.

There's really nothing I get excited about. I geniunly can't remember the last time I felt geniunly excited.

These days I just look for things that distract me, rather than things I enjoy

GSP, I don't think that's arguable tbh. Every other fighter either busted for roids, or is lacking in one area or another.

I'm a youngcel and I don't enjoy my copes anymore

 

[Deleted member 1983]

no problem with endulging your copes, maybe you just need new copes and wanna do something different?

Suffer from the same problems. It's generally something that happens as you get older. It happens with all things, with time things that satisfy you fall below the threshold for true excitement and something that gave pleasure to you is nothing more than a flat tyre that needs to be replaced or refilled with new/more extreme stuff.

This happened with me during my days as an animal hobbyist, as a child I was astonished by everything, I didn't care whether the animal was rare or common, whether it was venomous or not, I just enjoyed everything I saw for the mere sake of it. Be it a corn snake, a milk snake, a russian ratsnake or a ball python - I liked everything I saw.
As I grew older I grew bored with these animals and wanted more and more, I only enjoyed seeing venomous snakes or absolute giants after a certain time. A few years later even they lost their appeal for me and I only really felt joy anymore when I saw absolute rarities that are difficult to keep/breed and most of the time extremely endangered or animals with extremely interesting looks - like Abronia sp., Cnemaspis psychedelica, Boelen's Pythons, earless monitor lizards etc.
Then I lost interest in reptiles completely and went into other fields (like invertebrates/amphibians). And after a while I even lost interest in them, because recent developments became too fast for me to track and I really got crushed beneath the tide. I only occassionally look back at them for nostalgic reasons, but I know that the golden times for me (at least when it comes to fun) are over for me.

This is eventually the fate of everything (e.g. porn, cars, etc.) a human enjoys, because you build up a tolerance for fun. After a certain time you did it all and experienced it all. To get the same thrill you strive for more extreme stuff to get the pleasure that was normal for you a few months ago. All persons are like this to a certain degree and time destroys all things.

true

Sadly.

Yes, good advice. I would recommend something similiar so you don't feel all to hopeless in the new surroundings, but still different to a certain degree that it feels new/exciting.

You gave the correct answer. I think the same

 

[Pengwin]

That's because certain ''copes'' are bound to a specific age. Take video games for example. I remember waking up early on saturday mornings as a kid and enjoying ps2 games but that's because those things are specifically targeted towards children. When you grow you're expected to follow the herd, so to speak and do what most of your peers are doing.

 

[Deleted member 21768]

Thanks OP. I guess I'm not old after all as I'm still enjoying my copes. I'm a youngcel again.

 

[Greyjediincel]

I definitely don't enjoy copes like I did when I was younger, but my lows are much more shallow as well. I experience almost no anxiety or depression. Trade off is worth it.

How old are you? And what are your copes?

 

[Deleted member 21768]

Nearing 40s. Video games and art.

[agingmentalcel]

You might get "beyond" the copes and just sort of find a path in life where you accept you aren't getting women but you do other things that you personally find worthwhile and healthy for yourself in other ways. I decided to just stop all coping this year.

[Deleted member 30682]

And after a while I even lost interest in them

I used to be very fascinated by animals (both existent and extinct), ever since I was a child I would watch documentaries and read encyclopedias with a passionate curiosity. But I lost interest as years went by and now I just see them as just a bunch of lame creatures. It's over when all the species of animals in the world don't even entertain you anymore

Sadly, I can relate to this a lot. Humans are just not built to be content, the absolute extreme in that regard are females, but applies to every human being to a certain degree.

 

[Deleted member 27161]

Same, haven't really enjoyed any copies in a long ass time

 

[Caesercel]

Not for me. Not jerking off once a day was physically impossible for me in younger years. Now things have changed

That's because certain ''copes'' are bound to a specific age. Take video games for example. I remember waking up early on saturday mornings as a kid and enjoying ps2 games but that's because those things are specifically targeted towards children. When you grow you're expected to follow the herd, so to speak and do what most of your peers are doing.

That's a big part of it. I was recently watching an anime and it had all the ingredients to be mind blowing to me in teenage years, but now it just felt meh. Just like cartoons are targeted at toddlers certain copes are targeted at certain ages and as you grow older they lose their potency

The worst ist not that copes give you not the joy anymore, but the dissapointment, when you thought before, that this will give you and it didn't, but left you "meh".

Ask yourself in quiet place: "What I want really now." There will be propably popping things up which are not reachable for us, but maybe also things which are and which sounds worth it. Do you have things, which annoy you (unclean room, unfinished work?) which you can change, then do this. I bet after a while your old copes get also more interesting again.

And you have a sense for eternity in you heart by your creator. You are not supposed to be content with cheap, consumeristic copes.

Absolutely true. I’m also more tired than before. Used to play DotA 5 hours a day. Now I just browse my phone, while rotting in constant agony.
