  • I try... I do play guitar and I like to draw, and ride my motorcycle, but then... I don't know, I feel empty. I look at these things and enjoy doing them a lot, but when I stop I start asking, what's the point? Nobody will see this or hear this or whatever. Why even bother? When I'm alone and go to a show or watch a movie I always enjoy the moment but get that dread after the deed, the "you're doing this alone and this is wrong" feeling.

  • This is definitely an issue, I do have low self-esteem and getting older is not helping my case. Everything physical is getting harder to do and taking a toll both physical and mentally, which is a tough pill to swallow because I was always very active. Getting old sucks.

  • That's really interesting, I'll look into it. I'm doing therapy for a year now and decided to ask here to see if you people could give me insights to talk to my therapist. I'll take these to her too, thank you very much.

  • You're right, I'm doing therapy for a year now but things works really slow. I'm talking a lot about this with my therapist, and thought that asking here could bring me some insights to discuss with her. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.

  • To me, it's a mix of feeling like a failure and feeling that nothing quite matters. I mean, I do get to do things I enjoy, and I enjoy it a lot, but I never feel satisfied - I just feel empty. It's kinda like having a feeling of obligation to be with someone, and that's there's something wrong with me for being alone. Like a nagging voice in the back of my head saying "this is not ok". I don't know if this makes sense.

  • I hate Gimp with passion not only because it has a clunky interface that never got better, but because it's unreliable with big files. I lost many hours of work when trying to do the incredibly complex act of choosing a different font, only to see it crash and burn and lose all the changes.

  • I totally agree, and would argue that this enshittification for their own benefit began around the iPhone 4 and iOS 7. Things were beautiful to see in promotional videos but they wrecked years of visual conventions and features for aesthetics. The actively choose profits and aesthetics over their users.

  • Apple will do what it always does, and launch any new product as and when it feels it has solved the problems raised by new product categories, and has something it believes is better than existing products. can extract the maximum margins while offering the minimum necessary to be viewed as premium by their customer base.

    There, fixed it.
