Found this reddit post. This kinda makes me feel better. And it’s something I think about sometimes because I always feel like regardless of how hard I work on something I don’t get anywhere.

This really explains 1) some of the gaps in my childhood and 2) my steadily worsening ability to remember shit and actually take in new experiences as anything other than an inconvenience keeping me from sitting at home sleeping or staring at the tv for hours not taking anything in
My psych advocates “Fake it ‘til you make it”. By acting in ways that previously stimulated positive feelings, you can re-train your brain to find them enjoyable again. Do the thing until the thing starts to produce the result it used to.
^^^ I’m pretty sure that’s correct. When I first restarted writing I still had to push through that wall of 8((( that came with it [like literally writing was one of the most depressing things I could do so I just didn’t] and the longer I could keep up the habit, the easier it got, until I’ve finally rounded back to the maniacal cackling and glee that usually came with creating stuff and things. Do it, fake it, make it.
it’s all be gay do crime and eat the rich until the rich actually get eaten and then suddenly it’s nooo don’t be cruel human life is precious 🥺🥺 these are people who have never been in touch with human life and thus i am unable to view them as anything but a fascinating story and a major L in return. stupid games stupid prizes and so on
