Manage episode 503096392 series 3641122
Ever stared at a wall for so long you start beefing with it? Wondered if boredom is just a symptom of late-stage capitalism or if you’re actually just built wrong? Yeah, same. In this episode of Wandering Into the Void: A Rantcast, we dive headfirst into: The existential horror of boredom, Why scrolling is a psychological graveyard, Making bad decisions for funsies (cut your own bangs, text your ex in Morse code, etc.), Anhedonia and the art of feeling absolutely nothing, Meds that fix the symptoms but steal your soul (shoutout Risperidone), Peripheral ghosts and hallucination hangovers, The guilt of existing when you were raised to be useful, not loved, Mothers who see you as a servant instead of a person, Why forgiveness feels fake and overrated, The weird limbo of still being here but not really living, The absolute fraudulence of “just find a hobby”, Creating terrible, ugly art as an act of rebellion, Disappearing for a day just to prove you can, The desperate need to just exist without expectation
