I am 28 years old right now so I'm not a wise person. I've read some books for my lifetime more than average even though I didn't understand everything. I'm also a gamer so I suck at life. Gaming has always been my safe harbor. Somewhere I can relax and have a release valve. I've also been quite lonely in my life but I like it this way. Currently I only have 1 desire in my life but I feel like it can't be achieved. Fatalism gives me freedom from anxiety and worries. It makes me feel calm and secure.

I've been let down too many times to think it was my own failure

- Is a bad recipe for personal growth, aka none. Growth requires the acknowledgement of failure
If I had to pick between using some mental existentialism trick to remove all negative feelings of an outcome
Or acknowledging those negative feelings and using them to create an opportunity for learning and personal growth, I would choose the latter every time
- Negative feelings are not inherently bad or evil. They serve an evolutionary purpose to steer us away from outcomes that are bad for us. Or another way to look at it is that they are steering us towards outcomes that are good for us
Sorry I can’t say it more succinctly or go into more detail atm, at work and didn’t get a lot of sleep last nite lol
