View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
(warning philosophical mumbojumbo)
I find that interesting, the definition of shallow. Fyi I haven't been depressed... (yet?).
I like to think about deep stuff and philosophical shit. Examples: Was life inevitable on earth since we had the right building blocks? Did a conscious being make it happen or was it just chance? When is something considered conscious?... And so on.
But I never inject myself in the conundrums. I, my person, has nothing to do with them. I would argue that it would be more shallow to think about my worth or lack thereof than to think about the worth of humanity or that tree over there.
My existential thoughts aren't bogged down by negativity about myself. I try to find a more neutral objective indifference. Maybe your friend has existential thoughts though they are not about herself.
There's nothing here!
