    If life is a jungle full of things to discover, and you end up falling and running into enough snakes, hornets, and lions, I'm going to turn out to be a lot less willing to keep exploring. Even if there is a flower, a beautiful scenic view at the end of this hall of trees, how many bites and wounds should I consider it to be worth to view and experience such a spectacle?

    one thing i do when I feel depressed and numb, I just look at the ceiling and start a conversation with myself, like "waiiit hold up, we're feeling depress ryt now that ain't good." and try to analyze the situation and do somethin simple, like standing up for a couple of minutes. Sometimes it works sometimes not. but hey, atleast i stand up 😀

    I guess that’s me, for some reason I just can’t feel the motivation to do anything, when I was little the simple things like playing a game was so fun to me, but now it’s simply a way for me to pass time, I’ll enjoy it here and there yes, but then it hits me that it’s the only thing that basically keeps me going in a sense, I never play or hang out with friends because I have the mentality of “I’m not wanted” or “they’re having fun as it is, I’ll just kill the vibe.”, or people around me sort of disappearing or changing their likes so it leaves me alone. Things are much fun when you’re younger, but as you get old…you come to the realization that the times when you felt motivated to do stuff….has dwindled, and whether you feel content with it or depressed like I am, there’s really no going back.

    1:50 Funny thing is, I can't remember any core memories, or really any event from my childhood when I had an absolute blast. Not in specifics, anyway. I remember that I had a lot of fun kayaking with my father, or driving my go-kart around our farm, but I don't actually vividly remember those things, only bits and pieces. All of my vivid memories are traumatic, or embarrassing, or shameful.

    depression doesn't rid you of your curiosity… rather it removes a good chunk of your mental energy and forces you to rethink your priorities. But there are many ways of being curious that don't 'cost' much mental energy, like for instance sitting on one's bed at 9 pm and clicking on a video titled 'my secret ingredient for happiness' that Youtube recomended you…
    Also, grossly incorrect use of the words 'extroverted' and 'open' at 1:23. Not only is the dichotomy of introvert vs extrovert largely bs, but even assuming it's real, the concept has fuck all to do with curiosity and creativity… it just describes someone's need for social interaction

    I've been learning what I want and to be honest I just learned the limits of my curiousity. If it's unpleasant I don't like it I hate bad or angsty stuff. But I can see through it to the end and my mind will delete that memory. Small things make me happy and I never get bored as long as I'm doing two or more different things at the same time. I'm curious to a lot of things but I can't dive deep to those things because I lose interests. I only dive 80% and never dive deeper because I don't want it to end so I'm just stuck in the same place in this thing and move on to other things.

    I go through phases like this.

    I’ll be incredibly curious for about a day, and I’ll find a random thing that interests me incredibly for a little bit. I’ll poor over it for weeks, having it be the only thing in my mind, and I’ll learn an incredible amount about it. The two most recent being higher dimensions, and geometry within them (which was the longest one, I even came up with a few formulas for them) as well as encryption, namely making a better version of the enigma code (I failed obviously, otherwise you would have heard of me “the 13 year old who made the best encryption system ever” or whatever).

    Then all the interest will randomly fade out. For a while after that I’ll be disinterested in everything. My grades will go down, I’ll isolate and not really do anything for a while. These periods can last up to a few months, or less than a week.

    (Rinse and repeat)

    The moments when I am poring over those things are the best times in my life, and I recognize that. I am just to disinterested to care in the times after.

    Great video, I absolutely hate that some people see the ability of still being impressed later in life as a sign of weakness, inexperience. Moments like that always remind me of one quote from Tarkovsky's 'Stalker':

    "Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win."
