View submission: Do you ever feel depressed?
100%. I can completely relate...
i dont know if this rings true for you, but for me it kind of seems like being able to see through the masks and artifice of our superficial society. Like a lot of people just seem so...materialistic, brainwashed, robotic, self-absorbed... how do people have the ability tune out the ugliness of the world and put on a happy face and pretend everything is fine? Or find interst in vapid conversations?
Maybe it takes a lot of vulnerability to have deep and real conversations with people, so we are all just hiding behind socially acceptable personalities to fit in.
I don't want to make small talk about careers and celebrities: i want to talk about how we have forgotten how to live on this earth and how there's got to be more to life than the rat race.
Sorry for the rant....Maybe I just think too much 😆

I understand this completely. I feel bad sometimes because it makes me feel like maybe I'm being pretentious or something.
It also reminds me of that 80s movie, They Live 😂
