It’s very important for one’s mental health to remember that everything humans do is fleeting and ultimately unimportant on a long enough time scale. The idea of meeting accomplishment metrics society imposes is just a manipulation to get you to do stuff you otherwise wouldn’t to benefit people that have never and will never care about you. You’ll only find fleeting, shallow, false purpose falling into the trap of chasing their approval.
Find connections that give you bliss if you can, beyond that, to hell with not meeting the standards of the sociopaths in charge. Dictate your own purpose, and don’t fill it with unnecessary pressure.
Disagree, you can have your own sense of purpose through which you derive value within a framework of acknowledging how much impact you have comparatively.

Hard disagree. I’m having a legitimate existential crisis and that’s exactly what’s driving it. If you find nihilism liberating, great, but I don’t.

Nihlism is a matter of perspective. I get it though. Some people thrive on structure while others feel incarcerated by it.
