How do you entertain yourself in a meaningful way...

How do you entertain yourself in a meaningful way? It feels like entertainment is often just burning time to avoid doing other things that are productive.

bump

doing drugs, masturbating, playing video games, going on Sup Forums

its a painful existance

So anyhow the anti- psychotics are dumb kind of like the anti- depressants. How do i get the doctor just to give me like amphetamines and opiates? I'm an experienced user and i need speed in the morning and euphoria at night to chill on.

alcohol, alcohol and more alcohol

I read. A mixture of fiction and non-fiction. Very rarely watch TV.

I browse about 50-50 Sup Forums and Sup Forums because I spend around an hour a day on the internet, and once I've done what I need to do, I come here because I don't have to log in.

I don't think I've ever been "bored" in my life. I don't understand how people can be. I always have something to read or do.

What? for me it's the other way around.
''Productive'' things are just chores I have to do so I can go home and do nothing all day.

Y'all should watch Black Mirror, it's pretty sweet if you like the twilight zone and near future dystopic fantasy.

It feels like a long drawn out process where i have to funnel insurance money to the doctor and pharmacist in order to build trust and build trust. But i wish i could just skip all the time in-between.

Make music, talk with friends, program, draw.

Quads confirm

Good for you man. I can imagine how determined and productive you are in real life. I wish I was like you

Isn't that a sad, isolated life, though?

I like to move my furniture around every few weeks and it's fun if it's a nice arrangement (it rarely isn't)

>already do all of that minus programming
I guess I just don't know how to enjoy relaxation time. I tend to feel like I need to be accomplishing things all of the time when it might just be good to like, relax.

Finally someone who understands me

I think a lot of people mistake solitary lives for sad lives simply because their social needs are more active then the other person's.
It's sad to be lonely, but not to be alone.

Not really. I have friends. But we're all professional now, which is a bit shit, so we only really meet once or twice a month.

We're having a quiet one this week and we're gonna go crazy next week.

But for the reading, I have read some mind-wrecking shit. I am honestly a better person for it. I am friends with my mind.

It's pretty easy to do, to be honest.

Pick a classic book. Something people have been talking about for years. Fiction, non-fiction, doesn't matter. A great book practically reads itself.

Oh and probably Viagra too that's just for her though.

>possibly make a living out of it

>profit

chekd and agreed

i feel like realizing this truth is a part of growing up

Have to try the perc viagra combo she just bouncing on your dick and your just chillin feelin good.

I might just try to get into reading. Haven't read anything for years except for the Song of Ice and Fire

>already going to music school
I just want a break from life to hang out and relax for five minutes. Day to day I'm obsessed with my craft, I'd love to have a reprieve from that in my off-time.

Pick something thin. You're more likely to read it if it's only 100 or so pages.

>I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
>Flatland by Edwin Abbott

You could easily read either of those in 1 or 2 goes. And then you can talk about it with people. What the Will Smith movie was missing. Or why Sheldon is an idiot in Big Bang Theory.

Each new thing you learn makes you more interesting. As long as you're not a prick who forces it on people too much.

>How do you entertain yourself in a meaningful way? It feels like entertainment is often just burning time to avoid doing other things that are productive.
You asked me a question, i answered it in a subjective manner, not an absolute guideline towards something specific

>and masturbating furiously inbetween bowls isn't doing it for me.

Yeah, fair enough. Thanks for that.

Im 18 and this is all ive done for the last 4 years, yeah ill be going to college soon, and that might help make it better but i just know it wont, ive never had a gf in my life, and i cant kill myself because i dont have any real problems, just a horrible past and a future of not being happy

it only gets worse

I try to watch educational videos, generally about anything.
I don't play educational games but I do learn a lot from them.
Most of social skills have developed from Multiplayer games as well as many of the other skills that a might have.
Most entertainment now-a-days doesn't have that value anymore. Just, mindless, no thought, and flat out wrong in most cases.
All I want is to leave this physical body behind, either by just ending my life or somehow in the near future, allowing my consciousness to be integrated into a computer, so that I may live forever.
It's kind of an all or nothing lifestyle and, I can't say I envy the lifestyles of others per say.
TL;DR
I try to consume productive entertainment, but my will to live is waning.

Get some hobbies that reinvigorate your soul. For me that's hiking and fishing out in nature. Even a campfire in da woods with friends is enough to lift my spirits for a few days. or it could be music. Either way it has to be something that touches your soul. Find out what it is and do it regularly to avoid going insane.
