That's simply reality: if it feels like it's you versus the world, chances are it's really just you versus yourself. - Mark Manson

Stress-related health issues, anxiety disorders, and cases of depression have skyrocketed over the past thirty years, despite the fact that everyone has a flat-screen TV and can have their groceries delivered. Our crisis is no longer material; it’s existential, it’s spiritual. We have so much fucking stuff and so many opportunities that we don’t even know what to give a fuck about anymore.

If you can’t be happy without it, you won’t be happy with it. If you think something outside of you is the missing piece, you’re missing the point.

Sometimes it’s not social anxiety.

Sometimes the people around you just suck.
