I used to go to these organized meet up events with random people but it made me more depressed as I met so many butt fuck ugly people who would have been bullied to never come out of their holes in better times but now are basking in the spotlight since all the diversity and tolerance bullshit faggotry took over so I stopped going

Depression isn't really lonelineness, that's just a politically correct excuse for it. It's associated with a highly developed frontal cortex (and thus intelligence) and thus thinking about the future. This is a double edged sword as intelligent people have a lower time preference and can delay gratification better, but the flipside of this is that when your society is dying in a moral catastrophe it can make one feel blackpilled and hopeless. The imbecile only concerned with the present and instant gratification will never even be aware of this.

The psychologist Daniel Gilbert has written about this but it's more strongly alluded to by Ted K. Our decaying society functions on the basis of everyone burying their heads in the sand, paying taxes and consuming product. Highly intelligent people who are aware of where things are heading are inconvenient. Thus they must have a "chemical imbalance" or must just be "lonely". The treatment is always drugs because it is assumed the problem is with the sufferer, not with the society he is in.

I've been working remotely since 2017. It doesn't get better but here's some pro-tips that I've found help. I'm also married with kids so maybe that helps too.

>I go to the gym almost every morning
I lift weights MWF, but I still go Tuesday and Thursday and sit in the sauna, shower, etc. It's a way to get out and around people.

>I do <SOMETHING> at least 2 nights per week
Sometimes I go to the driving range, sometimes I play tennis with my wife, sometimes we go get pizza. Doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's something outside of the house and, ideally, around other people. Sometimes I roll solo to a nature trail or go for a bike ride if I can't be brought to do anything else.

>I work outside the house whenever I can
I take a lot of calls so I'm not always able to do this. But if I have time allocated for a specific project that I know I will work on, uninterrupted for 1+ hours, I will go to my local library, put my headphones in and get some stuff done. I used to go to coffee shops, but I really can't focus there anymore as they tend to be pretty busy.

>Standing desk
Not sure it helps with loneliness, but in general I feel better when I stand for the first few hours of the workday, or when I'm on calls, etc.

Ok hear me out op - look up the Shen Men ear piercing - it's a piercing in the upper inner part and is an accupuncture pressure point which apparently helps with stress and anxiety, both of which are closely connected to depression. I was skeptical but went and had it done, and I have to say, it had been an amazing experience unironically. It's not nothing to have a piece of titanium metal through your ear - it makes you aware of it and that can remind you to be in the moment - simply mindfulness and LISTENING to other people is a key part of fighting depression. Don't think about the past don't think about the future as much as you can - just what's happening right now and be in that moment cause really, you could get cancer in 3 years and be dead in 5. Since I have had the piercing, I've felt happier and more positive about things than in a long time. I keep trying to get into melancholy states almost out of habit, to wallow in thoughts and memories that were part of why I was depressed, but I find the sad feelings don't seem to come and so I can't be bothered to think about those things any more. I'd recommend stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something different

I'm back to wfh and I'm never going back. I'd rather take a lower paying remote job.

I had no social life before wfh so it was fine at first. 3 years in and it became unbearably depressing but luckily the crypto market boomed and I was free to begin my life. Now after 2 years of not working I'm starting a new wfh job with an amazing gf and new lease on life. Having a gf who lives with me is going to make wfh infinitely less depressing and is probably the only real secret to the problem if you ask me. Godspeed anon

This is just midwit bilge honestly. Ted K was completely right about technology and disconnection with nature and the looming "mental health" crisis. He was right about where governments and the left were heading. I don't know on what basis he could possibly have been wrong. The irony being that Kurzweil's predictions are hopelessly inaccurate and he is an infamous coper who moves the goalposts everytime a prediction goes wrong. Typical progressive transhumanist with a teleological idea of progress who lacks the foresight to see problems with technology that Ted K is able to.

It's highly correlated with intelligence, but keep coping. The reality is that if you want to be happy you need to be a 100-120 Deano who gets satisfaction from his sales job, loves working towards his next overseas vacation, making a bit of money on the side trading, loves watching the champions league and has a night out with the lads at the weekend. Doesn't care about politics or spirituality or his people, doesn't care about meaning or having higher aspirations, just wants to get ahead and live in the moment. Chances are this is a lot of people who post here.

The reason lobotomies were so widespread is because they worked, damaging the frontal cortex stopped subjects being able to think about the future which "cured" depression. Being a normie Deano is to some extent like being lobotomised.

I'm tired of retard opinions like this
You supposedly 120IQ+ faggots unable to fix your own unhappiness thru FACTS n' LOGIC

There are quasi-infinite datapoints assailing your senses every day, what you choose to focus on shapes your reality
You can say the glass is half empty, or that it is half full, this is basic stuff
You can correctly understand that the world is probably run by satanic, pedophile, (((elites))) etc etc, but you can also recognize that anyone of your capability can eat and live the good life, and spend the powers that the modern world does at least impart to us on spirituality and building to fight the zog

Being depressed at the state of the world or being willfully ignorant and happy are two sides of the same external-locus-of-control coin

If you knew jack shit about dopamine you'd know it doesn't have to do with happiness but rather anticipation of happiness, or put another way: contentment

Trust me, I know better than you, because I know the same facts that you do but I am content and energetic, and you are not.

Explain why in a supposedly meaningless universe you cannot just negate nihilism into ultimate, ubiquitous meaning?

Even if there are objective truths (which I believe there are, spiritually and therefore even morally) and you were objectively in a position of weakness and disempowerment as you feel right now, why would that not be merely a greater challenge to throw your embodied consciousness at in order to move the needle?

I spend my nights playing games and watching movies with amazing online friends, working on personal projecrs or house work.
Every few months I travel somewhere with a few of my online friends to fuck around in real life. It's an absolute blast.

The problem of depression never came up for me because I'm socially well adjusted and grew up knowing the internet as a real social outlet. If you're missing either of these you're fucked. Most normalfags are missing the latter, but I imagine most channers are missing the former.
