Guess graphic design isn’t his passion

Is dying of boredom like a common thing?

[removed]

Interesting quote, on the surface of it, but isn't boredom a symptom of a person's lack of focus or rather ambition or inability to tame their own mind? Sounds like the person who said this is bored a lot and needs external stimuli to factor into their "passion". At any rate, boredom likely comes before passion so it's a necessary prerequisite. I'm fun at parties.

An all or nothing attitude is demotivating.

Looks like little effort was done in making it. Probably due to a lack of passion.

Ha, I love your husband's approach to time travel. And taking a break from the internet is never a bad idea. Make your future self proud 🙃

I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it "the terminator". First I crouch down in the shower in the classic "naked terminator traveling through time" pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.

...what is it buddy you like buildings?

I tend to not slow down when I feel bad - my husband usually talks me into bed and says that I should time travel until I feel better. It's a cute way to say rest.

I like this concept. Maybe I should get off of reddit.

Everything reminds me of her, even those

hey, you ripped that off from my motto every time I smoke crack!

I thought dying of passion is called burning-out

Dang, this hits home to me

This subreddit is getting too jaded to see the point. Yes you might die, but for some people that is how to live life meaningfully and it's not like they or at least the reasonable people doing this don't know it's dangerous and that they will likely live a shorter life, but that is the point of the quote. Instead of living for 80 years unfulfilled, they'd rather live for 30 having a fulfilling experience. Every quote doesn't have to appeal to everyone. Most of the comments in this thread are disappointing.

A good tip would be to try and focus on the stuff you may be able to alter. Comparing against others can cause some bad feelings. Everyone is at their own pace. Comparision is good if you use it positively where you see something you like, try to incorporate the change if possible. Successful can also be a tough term because the way society uses it. Take a look at your accomplishments, these are successes

Not trying to blanket term or dismiss how you feel, just some info that may cover reasons why. I don't mind a pm if you want advice

I am just really having trouble functioning tbh. Sometimes I feel like an absolute failure. I have literally regressed in life tbh. Maybe one day I will be successful though.

Boredom is a state of mind. We can choose, within reason, our own state of mind.

So, in a way, we choose life or death.

I better get a f* move on though, I've had cancer twice since 2020, it feels like it's got me in its crosshairs. In March 2020 I had 50cm of my ass removed (bowel cancer, no colon left at all, which as a software developer makes me laugh at the irony of not having a colon) and then it came back and last Sep (2022) I had 70% of my liver cut out as there was a 5cm, tumour in it, lucky for me it was in the lobe and they took the fecking lot out. Lucky to not be shitting in a bag, I told the surgeon not to bother waking me up if that's what they were gong to do, I meant it as well.

My biggest problem is I am always harsh on myself. All my life I have always set myself hhuge goals because then I know I can fail and tell myself it wasn't doable anyway. I am mentally mental I think. I often wonder if I'd pass 'a normal' test.

Thanks u/RedditUser000aaa, strangers can sometimes give each other some hope when our closest ones try but annoy us!

I needed this thank you

I would rather die than read black text on a black and white photograph.

May I ask why that is?

No need for shame and embarrassment of the past, just remember and try to not repeat mistakes. Very nice post
