12+ hours a day for two weeks straight is pretty intense alright...
This is your life, good to the last drop.
Doesn't get any better than this.
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
...
Where you are now, you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like.
Only after disaster can we be resurrected;
It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.
Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.
...
You have to give up.
You have to give up.
You have to realize that someday you will die;
Until you know that, you are useless!
...
Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you.
Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments?
Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want?
Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive.
If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned.
I'm just here looking for something to fixate on.
Only boring people are truly bored.
Little too real homie
Have you not hyperfixated for your dopamine?
Where is your dopamine? How do you operate without your daily dopamine from hyperfixation?
Who is anyone without hyperfixation?
Suffer like I have suffered
I don't like this photo because I am in it...
Don’t worry mates, I booted up the RuneScape 3 rework two weeks ago and life has color again ☺️
When I have the energy for 30million words to say but no energy to do anything with myself.
I have x chemical causing y response in z society which means zed is my only option and there’s nothing I can do but add tens of hundreds of more words to explain away my own agency… maybe more syllables will make things seem typical…
Who the fuck thinks of a “hyperfixation to make dopamine” unless they need an excuse.
I'm curious what you interpreted the meme to be about. From your comments here I can't tell if you think it's meaningless or if you think it's some excuse made to justify ... something?
It's just an expression of how listless one feels when their last hyperfixation lost its sparkles and a new one hasn't cropped up yet. It's not that challenging to grasp, for those who've experienced it. It's not a choice, either. One day you feel intensely driven to read/watch/create/engage with everything about one particular topic or through one particular hobby, but then the next day -poof- the feeling is gone. And in that moment you feel empty, unsure what to do next.
It's not boredom. It's not laziness. It's a temporary sense of directionlessness that you have no control over.
what are you trying to say
When I don’t have the dopamine fixation to make a serious point so I just keep adding words to make my words mean more via fixation and extra words instead of a point.
But the issue is “hyperfixation” and dopamine… anything to detract from the fact that OP can’t make a point
I mean do you not have the hyperfixation to make dopamine?
Who doesn’t have the hyperfixation to make dopamine?
I remember making my dopamine without the hyperfixation, I believe I had a more regular fixation that helped dopamine max my progression of hyper-fixations to allowed refixating my hyper dopamine attitudinal beliefs!!! I just had to fixate harder to dopamine my own progression maxing…
I say this as totally just maxing words to hyper fixate on my dopamine… that’s how fucking stupid OP sounds…
not going to read this, boss
Man I sure wish so many of these didn’t resonate with me so well.
In a way i'm glad i'm not alone
